Last Wish Raid Guide

Phase rhythm

• Read the six called center symbols before anyone leaves.
• Each player takes a matching perimeter plate and stands only in the sector without a Taken Blight above it.
• Kill the spawned Ravenous Taken Knight so one safe door opens below Kalli.
• Damage at center, then each Guardian enters a separate open door for Obliterate.

Pressure points

• Wrong plates waste time and can fail the weekly challenge.
• Kalli teleports onto plates and can distract players from the safe sector.
• One unkilled Knight means one fewer door during Obliterate.

Recoveries

• If a plate player dies, a nearby player finishes that plate and Knight before reviving.
• If two players enter one door, one immediately moves to another open door.
• For Summoning Ritual, wait for the explicit 'all nine complete' call before damaging.

Loadout intent

Use fast Taken add clear, a Major-killing special for Knights and challenge Ogres, and forgiving close-to-mid-range damage for Kalli's small head.

Phase rhythm

• Clear the room until crystal plates activate.
• Form the prism triangle in one consistent direction and remove exactly one health segment.
• Use Taken Essence super action only if Obliterate must be interrupted.
• In image rooms, step on the four missing cells for each of the three projections before climbing.

Pressure points

• The floor timer keeps moving while players discuss image plates.
• Crystal teams fail when they reverse direction mid-run.
• Which Witch / Coliseum Champion fails from ranged Arc blast damage anywhere in the encounter.

Recoveries

• If an image plate rejects a player, rotate that player to a different missing cell.
• If Shuro Chi begins Obliterate early, use Taken Essence super action as late as safely possible.
• If challenge is active, reset immediately after visible ranged blast contact.

Loadout intent

Favor high-coverage add clear, quick Major deletion for Eyes and Phalanxes, mobility, self-healing, and burst damage that reliably removes one health segment.

Phase rhythm

• Split left and right, then take the first center Strength to begin.
• Collect two waves of Strength while calling stack counts.
• A zero-stack rescuer uses Eye of Riven Essence grenade action to free trapped players.
• Take the final center Strength only when it will not create a third stack, then damage Morgeth.

Pressure points

• A third Taken Strength stack kills the holder.
• Rescuers inherit the trapped player's Strength and can die if they rescue while already stacked.
• Forever Fight adds pressure by keeping the four smaller Ogres alive.

Recoveries

• If a runner reaches two stacks early, that player stops collecting and the team reassigns later orbs.
• If the wipe meter is nearly full, use saved Taken Essence super action on Morgeth.
• If an Ogre is low during Forever Fight, stop area damage and reposition instead of finishing it.

Loadout intent

Bring mobile add clear, a fast Eye-of-Riven kill option, sustained boss damage from the agreed perch, and enough control to preserve challenge Ogres.

Phase rhythm

• All three readers publish full symbol sets from their plates.
• If another plate's center matches your left, that destination needs Penumbra; if it matches your right, it needs Antumbra.
• Repeat the final map aloud, such as 'Stairs P, Tree A, Rocks P.'
• Run each Essence to the matching plate and complete three correct cleanses per phase for three phases.

Pressure points

• A single reversed left/right call sends the runner to the wrong plate.
• Mights can fail Keep Out as soon as they enter center.
• The previous phase's requirements do not persist into the next phase.

Recoveries

• If a runner has no obvious destination, stop in a safe tunnel and repeat the final P/A map.
• If a runner takes the wrong tunnel, use the outer loop and call remaining time.
• After a wrong cleanse, immediately re-read the next phase instead of carrying the bad map forward.

Loadout intent

Use Major deletion, tunnel mobility, and crowd control. There is no boss DPS phase, so survival and quick Eye/Might handling matter most.

Phase rhythm

• Split Crystal and Tree, descend, and call which room has Riven versus the Eye of Riven.
• Stagger Riven by damaging the exposed tentacle or mouth, then record the two glowing eyes for the other room.
• The Eye room kills Eye of Riven, uses the lens to guide the carrier to the matching symbol, and cleanses.
• At the top, record three pairs of eyes, assign all six shooters, shoot together, then descend for sore damage and the Ascendant finish.

Pressure points

• Eye numbers are recorded first and shot later; shooting early wipes the team.
• Groups using different eye diagrams will produce correct-sounding but incompatible calls.
• The wall-hug damage skip bypasses the main mechanic and is patch-sensitive.

Recoveries

• If an eye call is uncertain, do not shoot; compare against the shared diagram and delay for a correct shot.
• If the lens symbol is unclear, give clock direction and distance from room center before the carrier spends Essence.
• If top eyes are not assigned, stop damage calls and assign every number before countdown.

Loadout intent

Use accurate non-splash eye weapons, fast Eye/Ogre clear, ranged burst for mouth or tentacle staggers, and descent damage that can also clear Axion Darts.

Phase rhythm

• The selected Fate's Chosen picks up the Heart and calls 'Heart 15.'
• Outside players stay in the aura and move with the carrier, then spread at about five seconds.
• At zero, the carrier and anyone caught in the pulse are absorbed.
• The next Fate's Chosen, not simply the nearest player, picks up the dropped Heart and continues to Vault, Stairs, and deposit.

Pressure points

• Drifting outside the aura builds Creeping Darkness quickly.
• Taking the final Heart-realm Strength too early wastes the extension for that carrier.
• Nearest-player assumptions after a drop can lose the relay because the game selects Fate's Chosen.

Recoveries

• If players drift out, stop shooting distant adds and collapse back into the aura.
• If too many players are absorbed, continue as long as one outside player remains and inside players divide Strength safely.
• If the carrier dies or drops Heart early, wait for the new Fate's Chosen call before pickup.

Loadout intent

Use movement-friendly subclasses, close-range add clear, and survival tools. The best setup deletes Mights or doorway packs without slowing the carrier.
