Last Wish Queensguard

Nine plates ring the arena — but only six are active each round. Look at the three pairs of matching symbols orbiting Kalli in the centre to know which six to use. Each plate is divided into thirds: two thirds will be covered in Taken Blight at any time, leaving one third safe to stand on. That safe section shifts as you stand on it, so stay mobile. Once all six plates are held and their knights killed, everyone converges on Kalli for the damage phase. After a damage window, she triggers her song — small alcove doors open in the wall beneath her, and the music swells. Get into a cubby before the doors close. Anyone outside when the song fires dies. Kalli then briefly becomes immune and teleports to a new position. She has three positions total — her start and two more. If she reaches the third without dying, the encounter fully resets.

1. 1
   Go to the central arena and look at Kalli. Three pairs of matching symbols orbit her — these identify your six target plates out of the nine around the arena. One person calls them out clearly.
2. 2
   Each player claims one of the six matching plates. Coordinate quickly so nobody doubles up and leaves a plate empty.

1. 3
   Two thirds of each plate is covered in Taken Blight. Find and stand on the safe third. The blight isn't a debuff — it kills you outright if you're standing in it. Stay mobile as the safe section shifts.
2. 4
   A Taken Knight spawns at your plate. Kill it while staying on the safe third. Once it's dead, head to the center.
3. 5
   When all six knights are down across all plates, everyone heads to the centre arena for the damage phase.

1. 6
   Place Well of Radiance in the middle of the arena. Everyone stacks in the Well and fires Linears or Rockets. Keep shooting until the cubby doors open — she's still damageable right up until the song triggers.
2. 7
   Listen for the music swell and watch for the alcove doors opening in the wall beneath Kalli. When the doors open, sprint to a cubby immediately.

1. 8
   One player per cubby — do not share. The doors close just before her song triggers — anyone not inside dies instantly. Players sealed in survive. After she teleports, the doors reopen and players are let out.
2. 9
   Kalli teleports to a new position. She has three positions total — her starting spot plus two more. Survive all three without killing her and the full encounter resets. Aim to finish within two phases.
3. 10
   Repeat: symbols → plates → knights → centre → damage → cubbies. The symbol pairs change each round, so re-read them at the start of every cycle.

This encounter has two repeating mechanics: the crystal triangle to break Shuro Chi's shield and trigger a damage phase, and the symbol rooms that appear every two damage phases. The overall flow is: race along the path killing adds → find shielded Shuro Chi → do the triangle → damage her until a gate → follow the path again → repeat. Every two damage phases a symbol room blocks your path upward.

When you reach Shuro Chi she will be shielded, standing in the middle of three plates arranged in a triangle. Players 1–3 each pick up a crystal from a plate, then stand on it. Each player continuously shoots their crystal at the plate player to their right, forming a clockwise triangle of beams. This breaks Shuro Chi's shield. Jump off the plates immediately once the shield drops — standing on them deals constant tick damage.

Once the shield is broken, damage Shuro Chi until she reaches a health gate — roughly one sixth of her total health. The gate is obvious: she becomes immune and teleports away. Follow the path, kill adds, and find her again. The triangle repeats at each damage gate. Every two damage phases, a symbol room blocks the path forward.

Every two damage phases you enter a room with a 3×3 grid of floor plates and three large symbols on the walls — left, back, and right. Each wall symbol is displayed as a 3×3 grid but is missing four of its nine sections. Players 1–4 work through each symbol in order (left → back → right), reading the missing sections and standing on the corresponding floor plates simultaneously.

1. 1
   Start the encounter and run the path. Taken adds spawn throughout — kill them as you go. You're racing toward Shuro Chi's position.
2. 2
   Find Shuro Chi shielded at a set of three plates. Players 1–3 each take a plate, pick up a crystal, and begin shooting clockwise to form the triangle.
3. 3
   Shield breaks — jump off plates immediately. Converge and damage Shuro Chi until the health gate kicks in (one sixth of her health). She teleports away.

1. 4
   Follow the path to her new position. Kill adds. Do the triangle again. Damage to the next gate.
2. 5
   After two damage phases, a symbol room blocks the path. Enter the room. Players 1–4 face the left wall symbol first.

1. 6
   Read the left wall symbol. Identify the four missing sections (keypad numbering). Players 1–4 each take their section's floor plate. Call ready and jump simultaneously.
2. 7
   Symbol pulses — rotate to the back wall, then the right wall. Repeat the process. Track used floor plates — no plate can be reused in the same room.
3. 8
   All three symbols complete — platforms appear. Climb up to the next floor. Two more damage phases await, then another symbol room, then the encounter ends.

The arena is split into left and right sides, three players each. Taken Strength orbs spawn in sets of four around the arena — players must collect all of them without any single player reaching five stacks, which instantly kills them. Once all eight are collected and yellow-bar enemies are cleared, a final tenth orb spawns. The first/last player picks it up, everyone retreats to the back wall, and the team damages Morgeth to close out the encounter.

1. 1
   First/Last picks up the single opening Taken Strength orb that spawns at the start of the encounter. This triggers the encounter properly and begins add spawns. Everyone else kills adds on their side.
2. 2
   Cleanser finds and kills an Eye of Riven — a Taken Captain — which drops the Eye of Riven orb. Pick it up and hold it. Don't use it yet.

1. 3
   Four Taken Strength orbs spawn. Right side: each carrier picks up one (1 stack each). Left side: Carrier A picks up both left-side orbs (2 stacks). Carrier B picks up nothing this round. After a short delay, Carrier A will become locked down and frozen in place — Cleanser should be ready to move.

1. 4
   Four more Taken Strength orbs spawn. Right side: each carrier picks up one (2 stacks each). Left side: Carrier B picks up both left-side orbs (2 stacks). Carrier A picks up nothing — they are already locked down and being cleansed.
2. 5
   Cleanser rushes to Carrier A and uses their grenade ability on them. The Eye of Riven orb fires and cleanses all stacks, freeing them. Carrier A is back to 0 stacks.

1. 6
   All eight Taken Strength orbs are now collected. Kill any remaining yellow-bar enemies in the arena — the tenth orb will not spawn until they are dead.
2. 7
   The tenth orb spawns at the same location as the very first one at the start of the encounter. First/Last picks it up.
3. 8
   Everyone moves to the very back of the arena, against the door. This positions the team for the damage phase.

1. 9
   Damage Morgeth now. Aim for the large glowing tumor on his back — that's the crit spot. He has low health and a one-phase kill is almost guaranteed with a full fireteam. Supers, heavy, everything.

The Vault — arena map (credit: idleanimation.com)

Three rooms surround the central plate area. Tree is on the left, Rock is on the right, and Stairs is at the bottom (spawn-side). Each room has a plate and a back area where Eyes of Riven spawn.

Each reader stands on their plate and looks up to see three symbols in a ring: one centre and one on each side. The Scribe reads their centre symbol first. Whichever reader has that symbol on their left or right calls out the direction, then reads their own centre symbol. This chain continues until all three centres have been called. As each centre symbol is called out: if it appears on the left of another reader's ring it is Penumbra (PEN) — if on the right it is Antumbra (ANT). The Scribe tracks and records this for all three plates.

1. 1
   All readers stand on their plates and look up. Scribe (Stairs) reads their centre symbol first. Whichever reader sees it on their left or right calls "left" or "right" and reads their own centre. Repeat until all three centres are called.
2. 2
   Scribe records ANT or PEN for each plate as the chain plays out. Call these out clearly once all three are done so the team knows.
3. 3
   All readers step off their plates. Taken walls rise, sealing off two of the three outer rooms. The one room left open will have an Eye of Riven spawn in the back.

1. 4
   The reader whose room is open goes to the back, kills the Eye of Riven, and picks up the orb it drops. Picking it up seals their room with a Taken wall.
2. 5
   The orb carrier checks the top of their screen — it will read either Antumbra or Penumbra. They need to cleanse on the matching plate.
3. 6
   Other readers call out which direction the open wall is — the carrier must navigate through the hallway clockwise or counterclockwise to reach the correct room. The reader for that room confirms their plate's ANT or PEN designation if needed.

1. 7
   Orb carrier runs to the correct plate and presses grenade to cleanse. That plate is done for this cycle. As the carrier leaves, the reader for that room returns to their back area — a new Eye of Riven will have spawned.
2. 8
   Repeat the orb pickup and navigation for the remaining two rooms. Once all three plates have been cleansed, all readers step back onto their plates and the next cycle begins.

This is a long, multi-phase encounter with five distinct stages: two lower-room cycles (split into two teams of three), a top-level group damage phase, a Riven weak-point shooting phase, an Ascendant Plane jumping puzzle, and a final stand. The whole sequence — lower rooms → top level → weak points — repeats until Riven's last chunk of health is gone, at which point you're pulled into the Ascendant Plane regardless of where you were in the cycle.

Both rooms will see Riven appear and an Eye of Riven appear — only the order differs between rooms:

1. 1
   Bait her tentacle slam or shoot her mouth to deal damage. Enough damage staggers her and two of her eyes begin glowing.
2. 2
   Call out which two eyes are glowing using the L1–L5 / R1–R5 numbering (see reference image below) to the other team. They'll need to destroy these exact eyes later in their own Riven phase.

1. 3
   Clear enemies, kill the Eye of Riven, and pick up the Taken Essence it drops.
2. 4
   The Taken Essence holder looks toward the bottom of the stairs — a symbol cycles up the wall five times. Call that symbol out to your partner.
3. 5
   The other player stands behind the glass and looks into the room to find where that same symbol is located among the Left / Top / Middle / Right positions (see reference image below), then calls out its position.
4. 6
   The Taken Essence holder uses their grenade ability on the correct symbol to cleanse it.

Community symbol callout reference

1. 7
   Once the symbol is cleansed, Riven enters the room for a damage phase. Shoot the Taken orb in her mouth for critical damage until her mandibles shut.
2. 8
   The moment her mouth shuts, you have only a few seconds to destroy the eyes that were called out earlier. Miss the window and the team wipes.

1. 9
   If the correct eyes were destroyed, Riven retreats. Take the lift at the back of the room up to the next level and repeat the entire sequence — Riven appears, Eye of Riven appears, symbol cleanse, eye destruction. The team that gets Riven first may switch between rooms.
2. 10
   Once both lower levels are cleared, enter the lift in the centre of the room to return to the top level.

All six players group up in the centre of the room. Clear Goblins and Ogres while damaging Riven as she appears through one of the black gates. Bait her tentacle slam or shoot her mouth to stagger her — each stagger lights up two eyes. This repeats three times for six glowing eyes total.

Riven's eye/claw numbering (L1–L5, R1–R5) — for callouts

1. 11
   Riven appears through a black gate. Bait her tentacle slam or shoot her mouth when she's vulnerable. Stagger lights two eyes — two players claim them immediately.
2. 12
   Repeat this two more times (three staggers total, six eyes claimed). Keep clearing Ogres throughout — they're the main threat to add control during this phase.
3. 13
   Riven appears a fourth time with a Taken orb in her mouth. Group up and deal maximum damage. When her mouth closes, each player destroys the one eye they were assigned. Done correctly, Riven retreats.
4. 14
   Clear the room and return to the plates to begin the weak-point phase.

With all six players back on the plates, the lift descends slowly. This time Riven is crawling around the central crystal as you descend. Shoot her glowing weak points as they appear — each one destroyed removes a large chunk of her total health.

1. 15
   Aim for the glowing weak points on Riven as the lift descends. Call them out and focus fire — they don't stay exposed long.
2. 16
   At the bottom, split back into your two teams of three and repeat the entire lower-room cycle, top level, and weak-point phase again.

The whole team is teleported to a jumping puzzle around a massive crystal, with Riven's face at the very top. The only goal: reach the beam of light at the top. The moment any one player touches it, the whole team is teleported back to the main room.

1. 17
   Navigate the floating debris around the crystal toward the top, where Riven's face is.
2. 18
   Clear Taken Phalanxes blocking the path as needed — don't let them knock you off platforms while Atrophy is ticking.
3. 19
   The first player to touch the beam of light teleports the entire team back to the main room for the final stand.

Back in the main room, group up. Riven opens her mouth one last time, revealing a Taken orb — burn her down completely. At zero health she explodes and her mouth opens wide. Run down her throat and destroy the Taken Blight inside.

1. 20
   Group up and burn Riven's final health bar while her mouth is open with the Taken orb exposed.
2. 21
   At zero health, Riven explodes and her mouth opens. Run down her throat immediately.
3. 22
   Destroy the Taken Blight before Metaphysical Bleed finishes everyone off. Riven's heart is destroyed — the raid boss encounter is complete.

Each round, the game randomly assigns one player as Fate's Chosen — only that player can pick up the Heart of Riven. They carry it through the encounter path. Carrying the Heart projects a large bubble — all other players must stay inside it or they accumulate Creeping Darkness stacks. At 10 stacks they die. Stacks are cleared inside the bubble. The bubble constantly shrinks as the carrier's timer counts down. When the timer hits zero, the carrier is teleported into Riven's Heart. A new player picks up the Heart and continues. Players accumulate inside Riven's Heart over the course of the encounter, keeping the timer alive for the current carrier via Taken Strength orbs. Once the Heart reaches its repository at the end of the path, stepping near it deposits it automatically and ends the encounter.

1. 1
   The game randomly assigns the first Fate's Chosen. Only that player can pick up the Heart of Riven. They pick it up to begin the encounter. A large bubble appears around them — everyone else moves inside it immediately.
2. 2
   Move through Riven's throat and wait on her tongue. Keep the group moving and inside the bubble. Kill adds as you go. The bubble shrinks — don't dawdle.
3. 3
   Fate's Chosen counts down their timer aloud from ten. At ~2 seconds everyone steps away from them. At zero they are teleported into the Heart. The Heart drops to the ground.

1. 4
   The game assigns a new Fate's Chosen. Only they can pick up the Heart — it cannot be picked up by anyone else. They continue down the path. The cycle repeats — bubble up, stay inside, kill adds, count down.
2. 5
   When the countdown reaches ~2 seconds, the player inside the Heart picks up a Taken Strength orb to extend the outside carrier's timer. Each carrier's timer can only be extended once. After the extension expires they are teleported in.

1. 6
   From the third Fate's Chosen onward, multiple players are inside the Heart. At the start of each new carrier's turn, a Taken Strength orb spawns in the Heart for each player inside. All players except the original Heart player pick theirs up immediately. The original player waits and picks up their orb at the ~2 second mark to trigger the extension.
2. 7
   Continue along the path until the group drops down a hole and finds the Heart's repository. The carrier approaches it — the Heart is automatically deposited. Encounter complete.

The Wishing Wall is accessible from the very start of the raid. It has a 4×5 grid of 20 panels (the centre column is the submit activator). Shoot a panel to cycle it forward through the symbol list. Set all panels to the correct symbols for the wish you want, then interact with the submit node at the base. The wish activates immediately and persists for the session.
