Two players take the Field of Light buff and build a network of nodes that stretches across the arena. The remaining four players clear adds — especially the shielded Psion pairs that summon Tormentors when killed. Defeating Tormentors extends the Sweeping Terror wipe timer. Completing a full network of nodes temporarily halts the timer and lets the team reposition for the next sequence. There are 4 networks to build before the encounter ends.

1. 1
   Both runners stand in the starting aura node. Player A shoots the node to collect the Field of Light buff. The activated node now beams toward the first node in the sequence — each network has one of two randomized paths, so follow the beam to identify which path this run is taking.
2. 2
   Player A runs to the first correct node (small black ball floating above it). Player B stays near the aura node and waits — they do not shoot anything yet.
3. 3
   Player A shoots the black ball, activating that node (it becomes a pearl) and losing their Field of Light buff. This is the signal for Player B to act.
4. 4
   Directly after Player A loses the buff, Player B shoots the aura node to collect the Field of Light buff and immediately moves toward the next node in the chain.
5. 5
   Player A returns to the aura node and waits there. They do not shoot the aura node — they only take the buff once Player B has activated their node and lost the buff.
6. 6
   Player B shoots their node, activating it and losing the buff. Player A then collects the buff from the aura and runs to the next node. The cycle repeats — each runner handles every other node.
7. 7
   The aura node shifts as the network builds, staying roughly 2 nodes behind the furthest activated pearl. Whichever node currently has the aura is always the source of the buff — track it visually as you move.

1. 5
   Barrier Colossus spawn throughout the encounter. Anti-Barrier weapons break their shields. Clear them quickly before they entrench.
2. 6
   Two Psions spawn as a pair, each protected by a personal shield bubble. Get inside the bubble to damage and kill each one. When both Psions are dead, a Tormentor spawns — either inside the arena's curve or along the outer edge near the wall.
3. 8
   Kill the Tormentor to extend Sweeping Terror by 35 seconds. One Tormentor is tied to each network. On the first network only, fast runners may complete it before needing to fight the Tormentor — as soon as the second network begins, kill the Tormentor immediately at the start of each new network to bank the time extension before pressure builds.

1. 8
   Activate all nodes in the current network. When the last node is activated, "His hatred halts" appears — Sweeping Terror pauses momentarily and the Psion/Tormentor pressure resets. Use this window to reposition.
2. 9
   The encounter progresses around the arena — 4 networks total, each starting further along the curve. A new aura node appears for the next network. Resume the leapfrog: both runners meet at the new aura, and the cycle restarts.

The team splits left and right across a gap. Each side builds its own network of nodes that crisscross between the two halves like a zipper — one player on each side jumps back and forth using pistons to activate their nodes on the opposite side. The other players push forward clearing enemies, including Redolence enemies that can only be damaged by players holding a buff. Three floors must be completed. Finish both side networks on each floor to activate the piston and ascend.

Split 3 left / 3 right. Each side runs independently but mirrors the same structure.

1. 1
   Gap jumper collects the buff from their side's aura node, then shoots the shard floating in front of the piston to launch across the gap.
2. 2
   Find and activate the node on the far side. Stand on its plate and shoot it — this consumes the buff and stitches one segment of the zipper across the gap.
3. 3
   Return to home side via the piston. Refresh the buff from the aura node and locate the next node in sequence. Repeat until the floor's network is complete.
4. 4
   Add clear players push forward, killing enemies as they spawn. When a Redolence appears, grab the buff from the aura (coordinate with the gap jumper) to damage it.
5. 5
   When both side networks on the floor are complete, a Major Redolence of Splendor spawns. Buff up and kill it. Barrier Colossus also appear at the far end — use Anti-Barrier weapons.
6. 6
   A shard appears in front of the end piston. Shoot it to activate the launch, then ascend to the next floor. Repeat the entire process two more times.

The arena has a triangular platform on each side with three planets at each corner, plus three planets in the center above three ground plates. Four players take triangle roles — one per triangle on each side — and two players handle add clear. Kill Centurions to spawn Lieutenants, gain Planetary Insight, call out the odd-one-out planet on your triangle, then swap it with your partner across the arena. Once all swaps are correct and planets are indexed, repeat the Lieutenant step to identify the center planet pattern, deposit planets into the matching plates, and deal damage — cycling between plates as the boss switches his shield between Light and Darkness.

1. 1
   Kill enemies until two Honored Centurions spawn in the lower middle area. Kill them to spawn Terrestrial Lieutenants — one per side.
2. 2
   Each triangle player kills their own Lieutenant to gain Planetary Insight. Look at the three planets above your triangle's corners — two will match, one is the odd one out.
3. 3
   Call out the odd one out to your partner on the opposite triangle using positional callouts: left / top / right, or the planet's number from the map.
4. 4
   Cross the arena to your partner's triangle and interact with the planet they called out to pick it up (Planetary Affinity). Partners are opposite each other across the arena — both top triangles are partners, both bottom triangles are partners.
5. 5
   Return to your own triangle and deposit the planet into the empty slot — the spot where your own odd one out was removed. All four triangle players do this simultaneously.
6. 6
   Shoot the crux to end the phase early, or wait for the timer. If done correctly: "The indexed planets reveal themselves."

1. 7
   Kill Centurions again to spawn a second wave of Lieutenants. Triangle players kill their Lieutenant to get Planetary Insight.
2. 8
   Look at the three center planets. Two will be one color, one will be the other. Call out which plate needs which color — left / middle / right.
3. 9
   Three players each pick up a planet from their triangle (all Light is on one side, all Darkness on the other after the sort) and deposit it into the matching center plate.

1. 10
   Stand on the plate matching the majority color (whichever has two center planets). Stay on the plate — you must remain on it to deal damage to the boss.
2. 11
   Boss cycles twice during DPS. When he switches shield, move to the opposite plate, then back to the majority plate. You cycle through all three plates in one full rotation: majority → opposite → majority. For example, if the center has two Light planets and one Darkness, the order is Light → Dark → Light.
3. 12
   When the boss goes immune, reset and repeat the full sort and damage cycle until he enters his final stand.
4. 13
   Final stand: after a long immunity phase, the boss becomes damageable again. Stand on any plate — color does not matter during the final stand. DPS until he is dead.

Three teams of two. The Light team (left) and Dark team (right) each run their own network using the full leapfrog method from Cataclysm — 2 runners per side, alternating nodes. The middle two are add clear and Nezarec babysitters: they break his shoulders then his chest to stun him and stop a strange attack that consistently launches every player into the air. When both networks are complete, everyone converges on the final Light-side node. A beam hits Nezarec and the damage phase begins — his crit spot is his chest. Nezarec is easy to one-phase with good DPS. If he survives, repeat — but the window before his wipe attack tightens each round.

1. 1
   Both network teams begin simultaneously — 2 runners per side. Each pair leapfrogs: Player A collects the buff from the aura, runs to the next node, activates it and loses the buff. Player B then immediately collects the buff and advances to the node after that. Alternate every activation until the network is complete.
2. 2
   Middle two break Nezarec's shoulders then his chest to stun him. This stops a strange attack that consistently launches every player into the air. Watch the shoulder color on break — white = Light, dark = Darkness — and call it for the team.
3. 3
   Refuge is a fallback — use it if the networks stall or a second DPS phase is needed. Take the opposite buff to an already-activated node of the required color. Stand in the aura and refresh as needed. Surviving via Refuge resets Nezarec to his platform.
4. 4
   When both networks are complete, all six players converge on the final Light-side node. A beam strikes Nezarec and the damage phase begins.

1. 5
   Unload everything on Nezarec — crit spot is his chest. Rockets, Gjallarhorn, Supers, Fusion Grenades. Apply debuffs immediately: Nightstalker Shadowshot, Void weaken grenades, Divinity.
2. 6
   If Nezarec survives the phase, he goes immune. Reset and repeat — the window before his wipe attack is shorter each round. Nezarec is easy to one-phase with good DPS, but if a second round is needed, consider having a Refuge ready as a fallback.
3. 7
   Final stand: Nezarec goes briefly immune, then becomes damageable again. Kill him before time runs out or he wipes the team. Save at least one Super or Heavy weapon for this window.

Before the first drop down, at the very start of the raid, veer left and look at the wall. There is a flower decoration with 3 glowing orbs — each orb is either Dark or Light, matching the same colors used throughout the raid mechanics. This is your sequence. Write it down or call it out before your group drops in.

1. 1
   Location: Directly before the root leading up to the first encounter (Cataclysm). When you reach the room at the base of the stairs, do not go up the stairs.
2. 2
   Instead, continue to the right side of the room. Behind some vines, find a staircase leading down. Descend into the hidden room below.
3. 3
   Connect the orb that matches position 1 of your sequence (Dark or Light). Leave the other orb alone.

1. 4
   Location: During the jumping puzzle that follows the second encounter (Scission). Navigate through the puzzle until you reach the middle segment where you launch onto a platform.
2. 5
   Normally you would go right toward the square staircase structure (near the 2nd secret chest). Instead, go left toward a broken piece of ship.
3. 6
   This is the second set of orbs. Connect the one that matches position 2 of your sequence.

1. 7
   Location: Directly before the final boss (Nezarec). You will be on a large, shiny final root leading toward the boss arena.
2. 8
   Look off to the bottom right and spot a strange relic-like structure. Jump onto it, then look upward to find the entrance to the third hidden room.
3. 9
   Connect the orb that matches position 3 of your sequence. If all three rooms were done correctly, the game feed will display: "A great harvest awaits."
