Root of Nightmares: Difference between revisions

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 is momentarily delayed...". 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.

===Scission===

Next up for the second encounter is a repeat of the first, this time with a new element thrown into the mix. As before, Field of Light is obtainable from shooting a floating seed above a white ripple-like flooring. To contrast this, a Flux of Darkness buff is obtainable from a dark seed floating above a yellow/orange ripple-like flooring. The arena is split into two sections made up of three separate floors, divided by a huge chasm, with the fireteam starting on the bottom floor. Split your fireteam up evenly on the left and right, nominate a runner for each side, and prepare to create chains between the Dark and Light seeds, as per their specific alignment. Your fireteam will have a time limit to complete the Dark and Light chains on each floor, indicated by the Imminent Expulsion timer on your HUD. Failure to complete them within the time limit will cause the walls to push all beings off the floors, into the chasm.

===Macrocosm===

To finish the Macrocosm encounter, Guardians must successfully defeat Zo’aurc, the Explicator of Planets.  In order to do so, the team must work together to align planets correctly and break Zo’aurc’s shield
