Transcript
{Gameplay}
 * ARZAYNA: The Sanctum Heralds found it. The Grand Veilgate. The heart of The Void... and a gateway for the rebirth of a sinister evil... Kothal. They plan to merge their world with ours and awaken their god. To unleash a chaos they do not understand. Their success means the end of everything as we knew it... and the beginning of a corrupt era. They must be annihilated once and for all.

The Grand Veilgate
The raid starts in the Decrepit Wastes, where Akildis and her remaining Emperor Traditionalists have sealed the Veilgate shut and are barring the Guardians from entering.

The Tenebrous Nexus
The Teneborous Nexus acts as a hub for the Material Void. There are numerous branches that lead into various alternate realities, which can be completed in any order. The anchors (bosses) of each alternate reality must be killed in order to purify the Nexus and open up the main path. It is the only zone in the raid free of enemies.

Vision of The Last City
The upper left branch of the Nexus leads to a vision of The Last City, under assault by the House of Lions. In this reality, Atrykis managed to convince Joskaa the errors of humanity and the Traveler, which escalated to an all out war between the Vanguard. The Anchors of this reality are Joskaa, Seriviks, and Atrykis.

Vision of Levania
The lower left branch of the Nexus leads to a vision of Levania, twisted and corrupted with a massive Void-like rift in the skies above it. In this reality, AJ, Nagihiko, and Brayden-4 succumbed to Kothal's madness and became his heralds in place of Scyva, successfully summoning Kothal and beginning to merge the material realm with the Void. The Anchors of this branch are the Twilight Council, consisting of AJ, Nagihiko, and Brayden-4.

Vision of the Almighty
The upper right branch leads to a vision of a newly modified version of The Almighty, where Ghaul managed to harvest the Traveler's light and annihilated the Solar System, crowning himself as the Lightbringer and leading a crusade against the Pyramids. He is the Anchor of this branch.

Vision of Aincrad
The lower right branch leads to a vision of a newly rebuilt Aincrad over Earth. In this reality, the Shadowkeeper Apocalypse was a success for the Shadowkeepers, resulting in the Solar Coalition being wiped out and the Sol System being secured for the Darkness. Kirito is the Anchor of this branch.
