Three plates unlock once the opening Hydras are dead. All six players should receive a buff — left plate for Constant, right plate for Cyclical, center plate for Absolute:

Additionally, one player from each Temporality type must jump into a Vex pool on the podiums around the arena to become the Temporal Oculus team (3 members total — one Constant, one Cyclical, one Absolute). These three work together to verify and destroy the correct mines.

The encounter starts immediately with Koregos firing its Time's Arrow beam. Three Hydras guard the Temporality plates opposite spawn — kill them as fast as possible to unlock the plates. Once plates are free, all six players step on their assigned plates to receive their Temporality buff.

The two Only Constant players stay focused on Koregos. Each time the boss charges Time's Arrow, all four cannons (glowing white lights, one at each corner of the body) must be shot down before the beam fires. Destroying the cannons also spawns the Temporal Oculus pools on the arena podiums and resets the Constant buff timer.

The Temporal Oculus Constant player has the same cannon-shooting duty but also gains the ability to see the colour of mines (blue = Cobalt, red = Cinnabar, white = Antimony). Once the Absolute player calls the hoop colour, the Temporal Oculus Constant player locates mines of that colour and signals the Cyclical Temporal Oculus player to confirm whether each mine is active.

Both Cyclical players jump onto the Mine Buff Plates together each run. Each mine the Temporal Oculus team destroys spawns 2 Unobserved Chronons — one per Cyclical player. Both pick one up and jump through the hoop at the same time. That counts as one run (2 Chronons). Repeat three times for 6 Chronons total, which triggers the DPS phase.

The hoop colour changes after each run — there is a short grace period for both players to deposit before the colour updates, but don't dawdle.

The Temporal Oculus Cyclical player gets the Temporal Oculus buff and gains the ability to see whether mines are active (brightly glowing) or inactive (not glowing). When the Constant Temporal Oculus player signals a mine, the Cyclical player calls whether it is active or not. Only an active mine confirmed by both players should be destroyed. Once destroyed, the Cyclical Temporal Oculus player gathers the spawned Unobserved Chronons.

The sole Absolute player is always on the Temporal Oculus team. Their unique ability is seeing the colour of the Chronon Hoop. Call this colour to the team immediately — this tells the Temporal Oculus Constant player which colour mine to look for.

Once both Temporal Oculus teammates have confirmed a mine is the correct colour and is active, the Absolute player destroys that mine, spawning Unobserved Chronons for the Cyclical team. Destroying a correct mine also resets the Absolute Temporality buff timer. If the Cyclical players are struggling to find the spawned Chronons, call out the location of where you destroyed the mine.

Once six Chronons have been deposited (3 runs × 2 Chronons), Koregos spawns jumping platforms. Ascend them — it's a straightforward platforming section. At the top, clear the Imp Swarms, then handle the pylon mechanic before DPS begins.

Assign one player from each Temporality type to the pylon mechanic. Around each fallen pillar, there are three Vex cube positions arranged in a triangle. The two non-Absolute players can each see two of the three cubes — they stand in the gap where their missing cube would be, completing the triangle from their side. The Absolute player then fills the remaining open position, completing the triangle for all three. No callouts needed — it's purely positional. Repeat for each pillar and the boss will become vulnerable.

Wait at the R1 rally point for platforms to appear and ascend. Stop at the first pylon counter-clockwise from where you reach the top platform. The Temporal Oculus team splits at this pylon:

During damage, two rotating beams sweep the arena — move in and out between the three rings to avoid them. Standing toward the outside of the platform gives a better perspective on the beam positions. The beams operate within three rings but can shift rings and change direction. With a Well of Radiance and Arc Resistance mods, you can survive the beams without actively dodging.

Throughout DPS, Koregos spawns a Chronon Hoop and one of each Chronon type. One designated player (we recommend the Tractor Cannon user) collects the correct Chronon and deposits it through the hoop to extend the damage phase. Shoot the red horizontal holes in the central orb as your primary damage target. During beam dodging, Snipers can be used to keep damage going from a distance.

At approximately 10% HP, Koregos enters its final stand — briefly going immune, then changing its spin axis from horizontal to vertical. Group up in a Well of Radiance and unload supers. Aim for the now-vertical red holes.

Once Koregos falls, the encounter ends and The Desert Perpetual is complete. Interact with the Raid Kiosk near the final chest to spend Spoils of Conquest on any Desert Perpetual weapons or armor you've previously earned.

1. 1Kill 3 Hydras to unlock Temporality plates. All 6 players receive buffs (3 Constant / 2 Cyclical / 1 Absolute). One of each gets Temporal Oculus from podium pools.
2. 2Constant players shoot Koregos's 4 cannons whenever Time's Arrow charges. This disables the beam, spawns Temporal Oculus pools, and resets buff timers.
3. 3Absolute calls the hoop colour. Temporal Oculus Constant locates mines of that colour. Temporal Oculus Cyclical confirms which are active. Absolute destroys the verified mine.
4. 4Both Cyclical players collect one Unobserved Chronon each and deposit through the matching hoop simultaneously. 2 Chronons per run × 3 runs = 6 total triggers the DPS phase.
5. 5Platforms spawn — ascend. Clear Imp Swarms at the top. One of each Temporality handles the pylon mechanic: non-Absolute players stand in their missing cube position, Absolute fills the remaining gap. Repeat per pillar.
6. 6Boss vulnerable — deal damage. Shoot horizontal red holes. Dodge the two rotating beams. Tractor Cannon player extends DPS by depositing the correct Chronon through the hoop.
7. 7At ~10% HP, final stand triggers. Group in Well, wait 1–2s, then dump high-damage supers. Target now-vertical red holes.
8. 8Decoherence Imminent — run. Sprint away from the arena until the debuff clears. Koregos falls. Collect loot and visit the Raid Kiosk.

Clear the initial Goblins until a Hydra spawns in the back right of the arena. Destroy it — this triggers a wave of Time's Burden Minotaurs. Everyone kills Minotaurs and collects their Chronon drops. Run each Chronon through any of the five stators to activate it.

Once all five stators are active, a second Hydra spawns in the back right. Destroy it, then kill the three Wyverns scattered around the arena. Once all three Wyverns are down, your three Temporality players step on their respective plates to receive their buffs.

Once the Temporality players have their buffs, one of the three boss copies becomes active — either randomly or triggered by slow play. The active boss is marked by a massive glowing red light on its body.

While managing Variable Elimination, the three Chronon runners gather Chronons from Minotaurs and run through the specific stators called by the Temporality team.

With buffs in hand, the Temporality players work together. The three boss copies are named by their Temporality type: Cyclical, Absolute, or Constant. If a boss activates before your team is ready, the Temporality player whose buff matches that boss's name must run under that boss and align — this grants the Alignment Charge buff. If your team is fast enough, you can pre-select which boss to align to — the choice doesn't affect the outcome.

While one player aligns, the other two Temporality players examine the stators. Three out of five will be glowing with red/orange lights. Each reader can see two of the unlit stators. Call out the stators that are not glowing — those are the four that need to be activated.

Once all four correct stators have been activated, all stators stop glowing. The final phase before DPS begins.

With all four stators activated, the aligned player now runs through all five stators in sequence. Doing so converts their grenade ability into a detain bubble — your grenade icon will visibly change to show this. The objective: deploy the detain bubble to deflect the active boss's Variable Elimination shot back at it. A successful deflection brings Agraios down and begins the damage phase.

Once the deflection lands, Agraios teleports down to the centre of the arena and the damage phase begins. Dump supers and Outbreak Perfected immediately. The boss will attempt to teleport away during the phase — you can still deal damage with Sniper Rifles or continued Outbreak Perfected fire while it's repositioning.

Shortly into DPS, the Alignment Charge buff returns to the whole team. Watch your character buffs on the left side of your screen. When it appears, a designated runner (does not need to be the original aligner) runs through all five stators again, then returns to the team to deflect the next incoming Variable Elimination shot. A successful deflection briefly makes the boss immune, then brings it back down to continue damage.

Repeat the full mechanic cycle for each damage phase. Once Agraios reaches zero HP, the encounter is complete.

1. 1Clear Goblins. Kill the first Hydra — Minotaurs spawn. Everyone collects Chronons and runs them through all five stators to activate them.
2. 2Kill the second Hydra, then the three Wyverns. Temporality players step on their plates to receive buffs.
3. 3Variable Elimination activates. Watch the active boss's red glow. Break line of sight before 10 seconds expire. Chronon runners stay mobile.
4. 4One Temporality player aligns under the matching boss copy to receive Alignment Charge. The other two read the stators and call out the 4 unlit ones (two calls each).
5. 5Chronon runners activate the four called stators. All stators go dark once the correct four are done.
6. 6Aligned player runs all five stators — grenade converts to detain bubble. Deploy the bubble at 1–2s remaining on a teammate's Variable Elimination timer to deflect the shot.
7. 7Agraios teleports down — deal damage. Use supers and Outbreak Perfected. Tractor Cannon for debuff.
8. 8Alignment Charge returns. Designated runner does all five stators again and deflects the next shot for two additional mini damage windows.
9. 9Repeat for up to three full phases. Reduce Agraios to 0 HP to complete the encounter.

When the encounter begins, six Time's Burden Minotaurs spawn behind the boss. The whole team converges and kills them as fast as possible to collect six Chronons.

To deposit a Chronon: hold your interact key near a Chronon to pick it up, then jump through the large hoop in the centre of the arena. Once all six are deposited, a Vex pyramid spawns beneath the hourglass. Destroy it to officially begin the encounter.

Once the pyramid is destroyed, a buff called Diastole appears beneath your health bar. This is the encounter's heartbeat — every fourth beat launches the whole team into the air. You can avoid the launch by jumping just before the fourth beat.

The three pillars around the arena (left, middle, right) each have three Vex cubes stacked vertically — bottom, middle, and top, corresponding to platform levels 1, 2, and 3. All three builders must shoot the same level of cube at the same time. Use the Diastole beat as your sync cue.

Two Time's Burden Minotaurs also spawn on each builder's side during this phase. Call out your Minotaur immediately so the roamer can come handle it. If you have spare time between shots, help the roamer deposit Chronons.

The hourglass in the centre of the arena is your team's lifeline. It depletes over time and whenever builders misfire. Keep it full by continuously killing Minotaurs and depositing Chronons through the hoop.

The active buff plate's colour is shown by the colour of the Chronon hoop in the centre of the arena:

Both climbers stand on the active plate to receive Absolute Temporality. The plate activates once the Vex pyramid beneath the hourglass is destroyed. Once the builders shoot the first cube and the bottom platform set spawns, climbers begin ascending.

Each platform level has a Vex node with an "Activate" prompt. Interact with it to spawn the next node further up. The activation takes a couple of seconds and is interrupted by taking damage — make sure Imp Swarms are cleared before activating.

1. 1Activate bottom node. Call "ready for level 2" to builders.
2. 2Builders shoot middle cube simultaneously. Chat confirms platform spawn — jump to new platforms immediately, old ones despawn fast.
3. 3Activate middle node. Call "ready for level 3" to builders.
4. 4Builders shoot top cube simultaneously. Jump to the top platform set.
5. 5Activate the top node to trigger the damage phase.

Once the top node is activated, Iatros retreats to the active buff plate and damage begins. The boss's position during DPS depends on which plate was active:

Once the damage phase ends, the Neomutation wipe timer disappears automatically. Repeat the full mechanic cycle — Chronon collection, building, climbing, DPS — until Iatros reaches zero HP.

1. 1Kill 6 Minotaurs behind the boss, collect and deposit 6 Chronons through the hoop.
2. 2Destroy the Vex pyramid beneath the hourglass to begin the encounter.
3. 3Builders go to pillars. Climbers pick up Temporality from the active plate. Roamer handles Minotaurs and hourglass.
4. 4Builders shoot bottom cube in sync — chat confirms. Climbers ascend to first platforms, activate node, call ready.
5. 5Repeat for middle and top cubes, waiting for climber calls between each level.
6. 6Top node activated — damage phase begins at the active plate. Boss retreats there.
7. 7Deal damage. If hourglass is critical, one player deposits a Chronon. Neomutation clears automatically when DPS ends.
8. 8Repeat up to 3 times. Reduce Iatros to 0 HP to complete the encounter.

Split into two teams of three — one on the Left side, one on the Right side. Each team assigns the following roles internally:

When the encounter starts, both teams split left and right and clear the initial add wave. Shortly after, a chat message will appear:

Once the plates are unlocked (white conflux-like visual hovers above them), both Readers step on their side's plate simultaneously — you need both plates active to receive the buff. This grants Temporality (either Cyclical or Constant — the type doesn't matter here, only that they are different between the two Readers).

With buffs in hand, Readers (and Support) head inside their rooms. The room entrance is right next to the plate — you can't miss it.

Inside, you'll find the Hydra surrounded by a shield with six lenses arranged in a ring (plus a central one). These must all be destroyed to reach damage — but in the correct order, determined by cross-communication with the other side's Reader.

On your structure inside, you'll also see six diamonds in an identical layout to the other side's shield lenses. One of your diamonds will be glowing. That's your call — it tells the other Reader which of their lenses to shoot.

The loop runs as follows:

1. 1Left Reader calls which diamond is glowing on their structure (e.g. "Three").
2. 2Right Reader shoots lens 3 on their Hydra shield while standing in the light beam.
3. 3Right Reader calls which diamond is now glowing on their structure.
4. 4Left Reader shoots the corresponding lens on their Hydra shield.
5. 5Repeat, alternating calls, until the wipe mechanic triggers the outside phase.

After several reading cycles, a wipe mechanic triggers:

Outside players step on the buff plates (destroy any re-spawned Cyclops first if needed). Once buffed, they stand in the beam of light from Epoptes's shield in the central area. This reveals their side's triangle of three spheres above the Hydra — two will be glowing, one will not.

Once all inside and outside players have destroyed their assigned diamonds/spheres, all Temporality buffs drop and the wipe mechanic is interrupted.

Inside players re-grab their Temporality buffs (kill any re-spawned Cyclops first), head back inside, and continue the lens-reading ping-pong until all six lenses are destroyed. Completing this grants the inside Reader the Probabilistic Lancet buff.

With Probabilistic Lancet, Readers can now destroy the central lens on Epoptes in the main room to break its shields. Stand in the beam of one of the remaining lenses before shooting the central lens — that beam is yours to own during damage.

Epoptes has three damage phases total. You need to deal roughly 33% HP per phase to ensure a clear. Once HP hits zero, the encounter ends.

1. 1Clear initial adds. Destroy both Time's Magistrate Cyclops to unlock buff plates.
2. 2Both Readers step on plates simultaneously to receive Temporality. Head inside with Support.
3. 3Inside: cross-call diamonds and shoot lenses in ping-pong between Left and Right Readers.
4. 4Wipe mechanic triggers — outside players get Temporality, stand in Epoptes's beam, call the unlit sphere, shoot the other side's two glowing spheres.
5. 5Wipe interrupted — re-grab buffs, kill re-spawned Cyclops, inside players finish the remaining lenses.
6. 6Probabilistic Lancet earned — shoot central lens on Epoptes to start damage.
7. 7DPS: three rotations where named players are pulled through time and must clear six + one lenses. Once both are in their beams, boss is vulnerable again.
8. 8Repeat for up to three total damage phases. 33% HP per phase clears the encounter.
