Root of Nightmares: Difference between revisions

===Cataclysm===

The raid begins with introducing a mechanic that will appear repeatedly throughout the raid. In front of the rally flag exists a small floating seed with an aura surrounding it, and a ripple-like white flooring beneath it. Standing within the aura and firing upon the seed will grant Guardians within the Field of Light buff, and begin the encounter.

Once shot, the seed will display a thin white trail in the direction of another similar ripple-like white floor, with another smaller seed floating above it. A designated runner should go towards this, stand next to it and fire at it while holding the Field of Light buff to link this seed with the previous one. This will wipe the Field of Light buff from that runner. They should then return to the initial seed to re-obtain the buff in the same way, then follow the trail of white lines to discover the location of the next seed, repeating this until all seeds have been linked. The location where Field of Light is obtainable will change, so the Guardian taking this job needs to be aware of the positions of these areas to keep refreshing their buff.

While the runner is performing their duties, the rest of the fireteam will have to deal with almost endless waves of Cabal units. As well as the regular mix of Legionaries, Phalanxes, War Beasts, and more, a pair of special bubble-enclosed Psions will spawn in various locations around the arena, which must be killed. Once killed, a Tormentor and a Barrier Champion will spawn on opposite sides of the arena. Dealing with the Tormentor is top priority, as defeating this will extend the timer on Sweeping Terror via a message stating "His hatred halts...". If Sweeping Terror is allowed to expire, then the team will be wiped by a burst of energy from the sarcophagus in the midfield of the arena.

Four separate chains of Fields of Light must be made to complete the encounter.
