There are three main stages before the final boss confrontation, but each week the order in which they must be completed is changed.

====Royal Pools==== | ====[[Royal Pools]]==== | ||
Five pools are located in the room with one in each corner of the room and a fifth in the center. In each pool is a plate above which hovers an orb that grants the buff "Psionic Protection", which counts down from x50. Near the plates in the four corner pools are large golden chains that move when players are standing on the plates in the four pools. Moving the chains and defeating the Ceremonial Bathers [[Gladiator]]s that spawn will raise a series of censers in the central room. A bell will sound when the censers have been raised, at which point all players will head to the central room to destroy them while standing on the plate in the central room. Be prepared to deal with a continuous assault from Loyalists, Ceremonial Bathers, and a Psion that can kill anyone lacking Psionic Protection. The Royal Pools are cleared by destroying the censers. | Five pools are located in the room with one in each corner of the room and a fifth in the center.

====Pleasure Gardens==== | ====[[Pleasure Gardens]]==== | ||
The Pleasure Gardens will require elements of strategy and stealth to surpass. Kill the Loyalist War Beasts and Beast Handlers, noting the positions of several large, flowering plants, pillars of light, and the golden statue atop the safe room which is flanked by two Prism Weapons. Picking up both Prisms Weapons will spawn six Royal Beasts in the area, hunting for anyone who roams the lower floor, and Calus will unlock the safe room, which contains four spores of Royal Pollen. If the Royal Beasts detect anyone, they will each run to a flowering plant and unleash a Psionic Howl, which will kill anyone not in the safe room after a brief charging period. Furthermore, any players who die will endanger the team: if they are not revived within 30 seconds, the entire team dies from "Shared Fate". | The Pleasure Gardens will require elements of strategy and stealth to surpass.
