Overview and downloads

Callouts must not rotate

Default left and right use the rally banner or entrance perspective. Epoptes side rooms use Top, Left, and Right while looking inward. Agraios portals are numbered 1 through 5 clockwise from rally and keep that numbering for the run.

Chronons drive most progress

Cinnabar is red, Antimony is white, and Cobalt is blue. Chronons feed ring, hourglass, and portal mechanics, so color calls should be short and repeated before anyone interacts.

Loadouts are jobs, not prescriptions

Each section names the job first: precise eye damage, mobile add clear, short burst, long-range sustained DPS, or survival. Named weapons can change with artifact counters, surges, and balance updates.

Mechanics accumulate

Each defeated first-three boss adds an Epic pressure mechanic to every later encounter. Epoptes adds Detain Seekers, Agraios adds Variable Elimination, and Iatros adds Diastole suspension.

Koregos follows your route

The final encounter revisits earlier rooms in the order the team cleared them. Write the route down before the pull so Undoing buffs and room calls are not memory-based.

Capsule alignment uses the same colors

Epic Agraios, Epic Iatros, and Epic Koregos layer capsule reads onto the same Cinnabar, Antimony, and Cobalt language used by the rest of the raid.

Common teaching route
  • Epoptes first: adds Detain Seekers early.
  • Agraios second: adds Variable Elimination after the team has settled.
  • Iatros third: delays the most disruptive Diastole suspension until Koregos.
  • This is strategy, not a mechanical requirement.
Inherited mechanics
  • Detain Seekers can trap a player until teammates destroy the field.

Encounter playbook

  1. 1Inside and Outside players take the same-side plate together; Inside enters while Outside follows the rotating light in the arena.
  2. 2Inside calls two eye numbers. Outside shoots both on the entrance panel and calls the one number that glows again.
  3. 3Left Inside shoots Right Outside's final call; Right Inside shoots Left Outside's final call; both fire together.
  4. 4Every completed shield-eye pair spawns Detain Seekers above the Hydra. Clear them before the next pair.
  5. 5After the relay, resolve the Normal Top/Left/Right triangle, then begin DPS while selected room pairs remove six small eyes plus center.
