The goal of Gate is to open the Hive portal by dunking relics — Taken orbs — at the statues in the center room. Split the team into two groups of three: one group takes the left side, the other takes the right. Each side fights out to collect an orb and carries it back to the statues in the center to deposit it.

Every orb deposited spawns the next one slightly further away, and the relics expire if held too long. Dunking an orb adds roughly 3 seconds to the timer, which can buy the other side's carrier a little breathing room. Once all orbs are deposited, push into the court near the portal and clear the remaining enemies to activate it.

1. 1
   Split into two groups of three — one group left, one group right. Decide who's carrying on each side before you start.
2. 2
   Push out to your side's relic. Clear the enemies guarding it before anyone picks it up.

1. 3
   Carrier picks up the orb. The moment it's picked up, the doors back to the center seal shut on that side.
2. 4
   The other two players shoot out the shield barrier blocking the door, then escort the carrier back in, clearing anything in the way.
3. 5
   Dunk the orb at the statues in the center room. This adds roughly 3 seconds to the timer — useful if the other side's carrier is still en route.
4. 6
   Head back out for the next orb. Each subsequent relic spawns slightly further from the center, so the run gets longer each cycle.
5. 7
   Repeat until all orbs from both sides are deposited.

1. 8
   Once all orbs are dunked, move the full team into the court near the portal.
2. 9
   Clear all enemies in the court. The portal activates once the area is clear, opening the way to Basilica.

There are three rooms: left, center, and right. Split into two groups of three — one group per side room. The fight has no boss; it's a continuous loop of taking a Brand, farming kills for Deathsinger's Power, draining it at the center plate, and cycling the buff back out, repeated until the encounter completes.

Split into two groups of three, one per side room. Each group has a Starter, a First Pickup, and a Second Pickup.

1. 1
   Split into two groups of three — one left, one right. Assign Starter, First Pickup, and Second Pickup on each side.
2. 2
   Both Starters pick up the Brand at the entryway spawn point at the same time, then move to stand under their side's Annihilator Totem.

1. 3
   Starter kills Taken under the Totem, building Deathsinger's Power stacks, and counts the 30-second Brand timer down out loud starting at 10.
2. 4
   First Pickup clears adds in the center room, then kills the Hive Wizard on the upper balcony on their side to spawn a Taken Knight.
3. 5
   First Pickup kills the Knight, which drops a Taken orb — the Brand Claimer buff. Hold E on the orb to pick it up.
4. 6
   With Brand Claimer active, head to the Totem and hold E on the Starter once their countdown hits ~3 seconds, claiming their Brand. First Pickup is now the Totem player, killing Taken for Deathsinger's Power.
5. 7
   The player who just gave up the Brand heads to the center plate and stands on it until all Deathsinger's Power drains (ticks down 2 at a time).
6. 8
   Meanwhile, Second Pickup clears adds in the center room. Once First Pickup has left to claim the Brand, Second Pickup kills a Wizard, then a Knight, picks up the Brand Claimer orb, and heads to the Totem.
7. 9
   Second Pickup claims the Brand from First Pickup at ~3 seconds remaining and becomes the new Totem player.
8. 10
   Once fully drained at the plate, restart the cycle by killing a Wizard — repeat continuously. There is no boss; the encounter ends once enough Deathsinger's Power has been drained across both sides.

Warpriest is a DPS check gated behind a Glyph-reading puzzle. Damage only counts while standing inside the aura created by the Brand of the Initiate, which is awarded to whoever stands on the final plate of a correctly-read Glyph sequence. Players swap the Brand between each other using the Brand Claimer buff, dropped by Blightguards, before its timer runs out. Once a damage phase ends, everyone must hide behind a Monolith or die to the Warpriest's Oculus blast.

The room is split into three distinct areas: top left balcony, central lower area, and raised right room. Pair off into three groups of two, sending one pair to each area.

1. 1
   Split into three pairs — top left balcony, central lower area, raised right room.
2. 2
   Activate the encounter by standing on the middle plate.
3. 3
   Defeat enemies in all three areas until a Revenant Knight (Ravenous Taken Knight) spawns in each one. All three Knights must be killed — one per area — before the Glyph reading sequence starts.

1. 4
   On "Glyph reading sequence started," stand on the middle plate and check the left and right Monoliths. If neither is glowing, the middle Monolith is the starting plate.
2. 5
   Call out the glowing Monolith — that's the plate the sequence starts on. Step off the middle plate.

1. 6
   On "Glyph sequence started," stand on the plate that was called out (the starting plate).
2. 7
   From there, look at the other Monoliths and call out which one is now glowing — that's the second plate. Stay on the first plate rather than stepping off early.
3. 8
   A second player stands on the second plate called out, then looks for and calls the third Monolith. The first and second plate players hold their position until the third plate is taken and the Brand is awarded.
4. 9
   A third player stands on the third (final) plate. Whoever stands here receives the Brand of the Initiate.

1. 10
   Four players head to the right side of the stage the Warpriest is standing on to deal damage: the Brand holder, their partner, and one player from each of the other two areas.
2. 11
   The two remaining players stay behind in their areas, waiting for their Blightguard to spawn. Blightguards spawn one after the other, not simultaneously.
3. 12
   First player kills their Blightguard, picks up Brand Claimer, and heads into the damage aura. As the current Brand holder counts down, this player holds E to claim the Brand at around 2 seconds remaining.
4. 13
   Second player kills their Blightguard once it spawns, picks up their Brand Claimer, and takes the Brand from the first player the same way — holding E with about 2 seconds left on the timer.

1. 14
   After the third player's Brand timer runs out, the damage phase ends. Call out which Monolith to hide behind in advance so the whole team hides behind the same one — avoids confusion and people scattering to different Monoliths.
2. 15
   Repeat the full cycle — Glyph reading, plates, Brand, damage, Oculus — until the Warpriest is defeated. There are 3 Monoliths, giving 4 total damage phases (the last with no Monolith to hide behind).

Golgoroth's stomach can only be damaged while standing in a Pool of Reclaimed Light, created by shooting down orbs that hang from the ceiling. Two players take turns holding Golgoroth's Gaze by shooting him in the back — this keeps him from turning around and killing the damage team at his feet. As the Gaze swaps between the two of them, the damage team moves to the next orb, shoots it down, and deals damage from the new pool. Repeat until all six orbs are used or the Gaze trade fails.

The arena has an upper perimeter and a lower pit where Golgoroth stands. Most of the team huddles around the entrance and sides of the perimeter between damage phases. The far side of the arena is where enemies funnel in.

1. 1
   Destroy the central orb to summon Golgoroth and begin the fight.
2. 2
   Clear enemies funneling down the sides of the arena.

1. 3
   Once an orb spawns, one Gaze Holder takes Golgoroth's aggro (shoot the ground near him or get close), while the second Gaze Holder shoots him in the back to capture the Gaze.
2. 4
   While this happens, the damage team destroys the orb, jumps down into the resulting pool, and starts dealing damage to Golgoroth's stomach.

1. 5
   The current Gaze Holder counts down the 20-second timer out loud, calling when the other player should take over.
2. 6
   Pass the Gaze at the last possible moment — the second Gaze Holder shoots Golgoroth in the back just before the timer expires.
3. 7
   When the Gaze shifts, the damage team locates the next available orb, shoots it down, and deals damage from the new pool.
4. 8
   Whoever gets hit with Unstable Essence should move away from allies immediately — staying near Golgoroth instead of teammates lets the explosion contribute damage instead of killing someone.
5. 9
   Repeat the Gaze trade and orb cycle until all 6 orbs have been used, or until the Gaze fails to transfer successfully.

1. 10
   When the phase ends (all orbs used, or a failed Gaze transfer), exit the arena quickly and regroup around the perimeter to handle new enemy spawns.
2. 11
   Repeat the entire process — up to 3 full rotations — until Golgoroth is defeated.

This fight takes place in the same arena as Oryx himself. Each phase, the team forms an Ascendant path three times to assemble a full Blightguard buff piece by piece. On the third time, the player who's Torn Between Dimensions uses the completed Blightguard to steal a Daughter's Aura, letting the whole team survive her song while they burn her down.

Assign one player to each of the four platforms, with two players as floaters. If a platform-assigned player is Torn Between Dimensions for that cycle, they call out which platform needs to be covered by a floater.

1. 1
   Defeat the Knight on the starting platform, then jump up onto the platform.

1. 2
   While standing on the glowing platform, call out where the glowing ball is floating — this marks the second platform that needs to be activated.
2. 3
   Stand on the second platform to complete the Ascendant path.
3. 4
   Meanwhile, the Torn Between Dimensions player crosses the path (jumping only) and collects a Blightguard piece at the end.
4. 5
   Repeat this full cycle three times — a new player may be selected as Torn each time.

1. 6
   On the third cycle, the Torn player holds the interact key to pick up the completed Blightguard.
2. 7
   The Torn player then moves to the large pillar the shooting Daughter is floating above, standing inside her bubble aura, and presses E to claim her Aura.

1. 8
   All players move to the small ledge below the Daughter who is NOT shooting — there are two small ledges in the space between the Daughters, one below each. This is when the team deals damage to the Daughter across from them — the one the Aura was just stolen from.
2. 9
   Stay in the Brand Claimer's aura until the timer runs out — leaving early risks dying to the song. Once the Daughter is defeated, repeat the entire process for the second Daughter.

This is one of the longest encounters in the game. Each round, the team forms the Ascendant path three times to assemble a Blightguard, uses it to steal the Aura of Immortality from the Vessel of Oryx, then detonates Corrupted Light bombs simultaneously to stun Oryx for a damage phase. Damage is dealt by shooting his chest. After each damage phase, Oryx does one of two randomly-chosen activities before the cycle repeats — this continues until he drops to 25% health, triggering his final stand.

Same setup as Daughters of Oryx: assign one player to each of the four platforms, with two players as floaters. If a platform-assigned player is selected as Torn Between Dimensions for that cycle, they call out which platform needs to be covered by a floater. These same platform assignments carry into the Corrupted Light phase — each platform player takes the bomb dropped by the Ogre that spawned at their platform.

1. 1
   Approach the wisp at the front of the room and defeat enemies until Oryx picks a side and slams a platform — that's the Torn player's starting platform.

1. 2
   Standing on the starting platform selects the Torn player and reveals the finishing platform — call it out.
2. 3
   Torn player traverses the Ascendant path to claim a Blightguard piece.
3. 4
   Meanwhile, four Light-Eater Ogres spawn one at a time, going clockwise starting with the platform after the one Oryx slammed his fist on. Each drops a Corrupted Light bomb when defeated. Kill them ASAP — they can be damaged during their spawn-in animation.
4. 5
   When an Ogre dies, a Light-Eater Knight spawns diagonally across the room and runs toward that Ogre's Corrupted Light. Kill it before it reaches the bomb — contact deletes the bomb.
5. 6
   Repeat the platform → path → Blightguard piece cycle three times total.
6. 7
   On the third piece, the Torn player interacts with it to gain the Brand Reclaimer buff.

1. 8
   Locate the Vessel of Oryx Knight running down the middle of the room. Hold interact to take the Aura of Immortality from it, then defeat it. Once defeated, the Brand Reclaimer player should stay between the two pillars the Daughters were floating above — this gives everyone a clear path to run into the Aura. Don't move around during the damage phase once positioned there.

1. 9
   The four platform-assigned players each take the Corrupted Light dropped by the Ogre that spawned at their platform. If one of those four players was the Torn player who claimed the final Blightguard piece, a floater takes that bomb instead.
2. 10
   Do not step into the Corrupted Light early. Wait until the on-screen text reads "Oryx calls upon the darkness" — the instant it appears, everyone assigned to a bomb steps into theirs immediately.
3. 11
   Cross the wispy circumference threshold and stand in the center until the message "[Player] has detonated a Corrupted Light" appears for each.
4. 12
   Retreat into the Aura of Immortality immediately after — standing in it protects against the Corrupted Light explosion. If timed right, all bombs detonate together, stunning Oryx. Each bomb that explodes adds a few seconds to the damage window.

1. 13
   Shoot Oryx in the chest while he's stunned to deal damage, until he disengages and heads to the front of the ship.

1. 14
   Oryx Bombs: Oryx flies to the front and summons bombs on players. Either run laps to survive until it ends, or defeat all four Taken Knights on the platforms to end it early.
2. 15
   Shade of Oryx (alternate): Players teleport into a dome one at a time until all six are inside, then fight the Shade together. Defeating it frees the team and starts the next round.

1. 16
   Repeat the entire cycle — platforms, Ascendant path, Blightguard, Aura, Corrupted Light, damage, post-phase activity — until Oryx reaches 25% health.

1. 17
   Oryx moves to the front of the ship for his final stand. Two more Light-Eater Ogres spawn and drop Corrupted Light — no Light-Eater Knights spawn this time.
2. 18
   When Oryx again calls upon the darkness, detonate these bombs for additional damage time. This is effectively mandatory — without that extra time, the damage window usually isn't long enough to finish Oryx in the final stand.
3. 19
   Once Oryx's chest is open and glowing, the whole team deals damage until he's defeated.

Separate from the rune hunt, the maze beneath Golgoroth's arena ("the Cellar") hides its own secret chest behind a 5-plate sequence puzzle.

   Bottom left

5. 5
   Top right

Maze layout — plates numbered 1–5 in activation order. Entrance at bottom, exit at top.

Each plate hit in the correct order produces a loud thud that echoes through the maze. Hitting all five correctly triggers a notification that a chest has appeared — head to the middle of the maze to claim it.

When you first spawn into the raid — before grabbing the Relic — run through the hallway with the Thrall statues up to the podium housing the portal to the rest of the raid. Go underneath the podium and face back toward where you spawned. Three green runes will be staring back at you: one on your left, one on the ceiling, and one on your right.

This display tells you exactly which three runes you need to find and activate throughout the run. Write down their shapes or take a screenshot — you'll need to recognize them later.

All nine possible rune locations, in the order you'll encounter them. Activate your three identified runes by shooting their flaming discs — only your three matter, but knowing all nine locations helps you recognize and skip the wrong ones quickly.
