Loot Table

Harmonic Resonance - Equipping multiple Root of Nightmares Weapons grants increased Handling, Reload Speed, as well as Increased Damage against Tormentors, Lucent Hive, and Enemy Players in Super.

Deepsight Chest

Before heading to the first encounter, the reference nodes are located at the beginning of the raid in a flower. Don't descend the stairs that go to the lower level; instead, make your way along the wall. Instead, at the top of the steps, focus on the two structures on the left. A flower with three nodes is behind them. You need to keep in mind these colors and their placement.

As seen in the sample image above, the order is Darkness, Light, Darkness. Hence, a Darkness network must be established in the first hidden node room, followed by a Light network in the second, and a Darkness network in the third. One Light and one Darkness node pair are present in each concealed chamber. As you would with any other node encounter, establish the connection. Shoot the node while standing in the required aura, then go on to the second node and shoot it.

You'll see an on-screen notice that reads, "Your actions take root", if you set up the proper network in the space. It states: "Your spoils suffer irreversible damage" if you construct the improper network, and you have to reset the whole raid to try again. Once everything is done perfectly and the last node room connection is made, a message stating "A large harvest awaits" will appear.

Node Rooms

There are only three hidden node rooms. Be sure you don't miss a room or choose the wrong link. Resetting the raid is the only option to fix the issue.

• Before the first encounter is the first node room. Avoid entering the huge, bright entryway. Instead, turn right and enter a door hidden by some bushes. To get to the node room, descend a flight of steps that leads deep into the cave.
• During the jumping puzzle for the Darkness Refuge. Don't use the piston to catapult yourself across the gap while on the roof. Instead, turn left and leap over the chasm to a lower structure. To access the nodes, enter the door on the left.
• The last node room comes right before the Nezarec battle. Climb up through the flower buds and branches until you reach the cube-shaped structure with three branches sticking out of its front (it also has golden blocks). Jump from the branch to the forked statue and Radial Mast, then land on the floating brick. To discover the final nodes, aim up and dive into the ceiling.

Secret Chests

When the runner activates the next orb by standing under it and shooting it, they will activate the orb, but also make them lose their buff. Thus, they must run back to the orb with the aura to regain the buff and activate the other orbs. The orb with aura is not always the same, so runners should be wary of this.

The runner has to run 4 total paths of 4-5 orbs each. Each path can only be completed after the previous one is completed. Whenever a path is completed, the timer momentarily stops, alongside a message "His Hatred halts".

Encounter Triumph:

Psionic Purge - In Catalclysm, defeat all Psions within 1 second of each other.

Challenge Mode:

Illuminated Torment - Defeat Tormenters while buffed with Field of Light.

Master Difficulty:

• Barrier Champions (Colossus) now spawn in greater numbers.
• Solar shields on Centurions.

Encounter Triumph:

Shields Up - In Scission, do not defeat any attuned shield combatants on a floor until both node chains are complete on that same floor

Challenge Mode:

Crossfire - The gravity cannons must be activated by the opposite side.

Master Difficulty:

• Unstoppable Champions (Incendiors) spawn on each floor.

As you get at the first door, keep doing this all the way through. The location of the second hidden chest, which is covered below, lies just beyond this door. (This door won't open until every fireteam member is present.) After the door is opened, continue making the same light-to-dark chains it took to get there to find a second door. The door will open and take you to the third encounter, Macrocosm, after all players have arrived.

Encounter Mechanics:

Planetary Phase

This encounter starts by attacking the boss and his psions at the front of the room. 2 centurions, will spawn. When these centurions are killed, 4 colossi, Terrestrial Lieutenants, will spawn at the sides of the arena, 1 per triangular platform. When a player(runner) kills the colossus, the player gains a buff called “Planetary Insight”. This will allow the player to observe the planets above their heads, and see which is the “odd one out”.

On the left side, all 3 planets above each platform will be Light except one, which is dark. The player should call which planet it is to the runner on the opposite side of the room. The same happens to the opposite side, where the runner observes all 3 planets to be dark except one. This player calls this planet out to the other runner.

The players will then pick up the Planetary Attunement (the white orb below the odd planet, visible only with Planetary Insight). Once a player picks a Planetary Attunement up, a buff called “Planetary Shift” appears on all players' screens. During the time of this buff, runners must run to the opposite side to dunk the planet on the spot that was mentioned by the runner of the plate they went to.

This will move the planets according to how the team moved the planets by moving the Planetary Attunement. Once the planets are properly positioned, a message will appear in chat, “The indexed planets reveal themselves”.

Pre-DPS Phase

Once the indexed planets have revealed themselves, players must kill another set of centurions and colossi to regain Planetary Insight. This will allow them to observe the 3 planets above the 3 plates in the middle of the arena. The 3 planets will be dark or light. The players must then go to the respective sides and pick up planetary attunement, such that a light planet is deposited into a plate with a light planet as well, and the same for dark. Once planetary attunement is picked up, the player is unable to see which plate needs which colour, so it is important to remember.

For this phase, the Planetary Attunement can be obtained by any player. When buffs are deposited correctly and Planetary Shift ends, the team should wait on one of the plates which has another similar colour (if there were 2 dark and 1 light, the team waits on a dark plate and vice versa).

DPS Phase

Eventually, the boss will jump down from the stage and the plates will light up. This begins the damage sequence:

The sequence for plates is always Dark → Light → Dark or Light → Dark → Light depending on the plates.

Once the boss's health reaches final stand, he will become immune momentarily, then become vulnerable again. To finish off the boss here, you must also be on a plate.

Encounter Triumph:

Singular Orbit - In Macrocosm, a player cannot gain Planetary Insight twice in the same Planetary Shift.

Challenge Mode:

Cosmic Equilibrium - Move all Dark planets to left side and Light planets to right side.

Master Difficulty:

• Barrier Champions (Colossus) replaces the Terrestrial Lieutenants
• Solar shields on Centurions.

The runners have a set amount of time to finish running every phase:

• 1st phase: 60s
• 2nd phase: 55s
• 3rd phase: 50s

If all orbs are not shot by these times, Nezarec will wipe the team. However, there is a way to avoid this wipe if your runners are not fast enough. In the first phase doing this immunity mechanic is not really needed, but is more important on the 2nd and 3rd phase. The immunity mechanic is as follows:

Encounter Triumph:

Synchronicity - During the final battle with Nezarec, activate both sets of nodes within 5 seconds of each other, for every activation, and complete the encounter.

Challenge Mode:

All Hands - Each player must activate one Dark plate and one Light plate between each DPS phase.

Master Difficulty:

• Barrier Champions (Colossus) replaces the Esteemed Colossus.
