This is by far the best guide/breakdown of the raid. Doing the lords work man thanks

Your encounter 4 guide is so much cleaner than other "ways" I've seen. This is what my team did and it is simply the cleanest way to do the mechanics

Even showed the secret chests for the shader! WHAT A LEGEND!!!

I kept switching through guides after each explanation and getting scraps from each different source until I found yours it was so easy to understand

Thank god. It’s the only video I’ve seen that actually explains encounter 4 that makes sense to me.

crota's end: 5 minute guide salvation's edge: 50 minute guide

Encounter 2 Kill two packs of attendants and a knight > one set respawns with the addition of a Trammel > killing the Trammel unlocks the plates - you can now bounce the energy back and forth (1 send, 1 bounce, 2 bounce, 3 bounce) and let it fail once all the resonances are on the floor - during this time no mobs will spawn making it super safe and easy. The Trammel will spawn once again when the 3rd bounce reaches the sending plate and is not bounced again (e.g. a "failed" bounce). Kill the Trammel as a pair for expediency, or alone while the Call to Reckoning (CtR) players go to mid. The players without CtR can pick up one set of resonances while keeping an eye out for blights. When the players with CtR convert it to Stolen Favor (SF) in mid, the second player can already be ready and killing the newly spawned adds down bottom. The SF player makes the shape call while going to collect their resonances, both can work as a team to clear the top plate of mobs. Whoever is sparking the Conduit returns to the bottom and whoever is not stays up top and sends the beam. Resonances disappear as soon as the conduit is closed. Ideally all 6 are picked up. The more you can dunk near the boss the more time you get back for the next round. This was the easiest way the fireteam I was a part of found to do it. It's much easier to be bouncing resonances without adds trying to murder you.

4th encounter got me in shambles 💀

"20 Destiny Settings You Need to Change NOW! (Updated 2024)" ... I highly recommend watching this now kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9p1ftd93NzThmw.html

Bro 34:13 is by far the best explanation so far that I've ever seen for dissecting. Like seriously, weldone ShadowDestiny!

I’m sorry did shadow just drop a raid guide brother has upgraded to pve uploads ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Even pointed out damage types so u can equip resistance. Very nice. Respect sir.

This is one of the few raids I probably won’t do tbh. More trouble than it’s worth.

I think Verity might be the most creative and well-designed raid encounter we ever got. That said, it is also 80% of the reason why I'm not confident in my chances and abilities on getting through this raid

thank you, most of the guides for previous raids only ever explained the role they took on during the raid leaving the rest of the roles up to question!

The Witness DPS phase might be the best Destiny experience one could go through. It just seems like great fun. Im broke so i dont have this DLC yet but once i get it im definitely gonna do the raid, or at least try. And this is the guide ill be watching over and over again so i can understand the fourth encounter.

The way you explained dissecting was beyond easier than wha my team mates was tryna tell me. That helped alot 👏🏼👏🏼

Much better explanation than other guide videos I've seen, subscribed.

Imma be honest man, as a returning player who stopped playing after witch queen and just came back a few weeks ago, watching your guide is good, assuming I can find a raid team that isn't going to insta-kick if I don't have x-amount of clears or a resume of past raid clears.

Some rules for the first encounter: Minotaurs spawn in the first or second room, killing this Minotaur sends a hydra to the opposite room. These hydras control the opening of the door to the next room for the opposite team. It will generally be 3 rooms to traverse through for each team before being beckoned back to the center, which always occurs after the overload Minotaur is killed. Whichever team does not receive the overload must wait in their locked room until the overload is killed to return mid. The process repeats again when the tormentor is killed. When the second run of clearing rooms is completed by killing the second overload, the team with the normal Minotaurs powered plate will turn on, meaning they can start before the tormentor is killed. The team with the overload must kill the tormentor before their powered plate switches on. When closing pillars, anyone can shoot the center diamond, but someone with resonance must stand on the plate to successfully close it, hope this helps

4th encounter explanation is great especially with the bullet points you made for inside players now just have to do it

So complicated! Bungo really cooked this one 😅 But you did a great guide bro. Have to watch it in segments multiple times so that i can go in with a full understanding! Thank you ❤

From what I can gather, my strat is gonna be complete first three encounters, then use d2 checkpoint bot (once it’s fixed) to skip straight to the witness. Encounter 4 is gonna be an LFG nightmare

Dude 10/10 explanations and examples. You saved my sanity

what an amazing guide! very clear and in-depth, this raid is hard as hell but this makes it so much clearer, thank you so much!

Hopped back on after a few years glad to see raids are still a unlimited free time person activity 😂

For the second encounter, these mini bosses like shield phalnx, wizard, etc. will respawn if you fail to juggle the plates after you juggle more than one time. You need to kill them to enable the starting plate again. This can also change the symbol from the tower so it is recommended for both players to hold different resonance so you can switch it up if you fail. Double check the symbol to ensure that it is correct. I do suggest to collect the resonance as you juggle between plates while dealing with ads as they attempt to disrupt you. These resonance spots will always yield the same shape no matter what, so coordinate with your partner which one to get.

Finally a good guide because in every LFG it's only KWTD and I didn't do the raid in the weekend since I was out of town.

The festival of the lost masks help ALOT in 4th enchounter

one of the best guide for this raid. even my noob raid team understood this

Surprisingly, despite the length of these guides, explaining it in a clear way matters more than a long way

as a 46 year old day 1 d1 beta player with every raid seal ,this raid actually frightens me(i only have 1 clear to this day)

If you can't see symbols in 4th encounter, take out your ghost , it fixed it for me, but don't know if it always works, but worth a try

LT left trigger as a dunk keybind is crazy

Thank you for this, I was almost forced to watch Rick kakis' version of this but couldnt get past the 30 min intro

Great tutorial, haven't played since light falls release so im deff hyped to try this out!

Thank you for this. Very clear and easy to follow.

this is by far the best guide ever

Very well done, very thorough. I like the step by step aproach

Raid guide from Shadow, what a Legend

interesting how the resonance number that you should pick at maximum to not die match the witness obsession with triangles lol

right before the witness tests it does the hand animation and it will have the shape glowing there

this why i subbed for almost all 10 years of destiny. Great work, very thorough, most importantly helpful too

The third encounter resonance spawns along the paths the wires take. Cubes follow the path of the left starting plate, spheres middle starting plate and pyramid right starting plate.

2nd encounter tip: All 3 sides spawn in their pyramids and spheres immediately, ignoring everything else. Once they are in, fail the passing, and just kill your taken mini boss again, and then progress normally. This lets you just do one bounce to close the conduit. Avoiding a lot of ad clear, and disk field grenades.

I get the vibe from shadow's tone, certain word choices, and title lol, that this is a guide for new players. That being said, i think its important personally for specific recommendations to new playera for gear and loadouts in order to give them somehting to chase in order to improve in the raid. Experienced players dont really need this guidance but in a guide for new players i think it would be important, as if it isnt stated, it leaves them to not know what is good or think something have is good when it isnt. Which is fine to use mediocre stuff in the short time when learning. But its imperative to get better gear to make future runs better.

This entire guide contains less words than Rick Kackis’ intro. I’m in

Insanely good Guide ! Hope we'll clear today , some ppl didnt bother for mechanics on day one even lol :D

Alright! time to look at the video chapters and their length- *OH MY GOODNESS.* I think I can tell which one is the puzzle encounter.

Outrageously well done. Thank you beautiful Guardian.

You’ve earned a subscriber! Thank you for the help!

Lfg nightmare haha. The world loot pool and so many great weapons that if i dont raid im good lol.

Did the contest mode for thirty two hours straight and got to the third encounter, Then I. Literally fell asleep at my keyboard

Thank you so much for this, Shadow!! IDK what it is about your voice or the way you explain things, but you make info so much easier to digest. I've already downloaded the video to reference later & share with my clan 🙏🏻💕 Very much appreciated!! Edit: Downloaded with YT Premium, I mean! I don't want you to think I'd rip your video 😅 Sometimes I forget it's a Premium feature

Phenomenal work. This is extremely helpful. Thank you.

Awesome guide!

Going to be running the raid with friends on the weekend and going to be using this guide. Hands down the easiest to understand that i've seen, ty.

So much knowledge to absorb omg 😅

For 4th encounter I highly recommend using the festival of the lost mask 😂😂

thanks for the good explain of all encounter, great work

In 2nd encounter, you can start spawning in the resonance before going in for Stolen Favor. Just fail the relay intentionally when you have spawned in 6 total resonance per pillar, kill the punishment yellow bar and go for Stolen Favor. This way, you can focus on picking up resonance since adds spawn in after getting Stolen Favor.

Addendum for phase 2: in the first round for every phase there spawns 1 phalanx/boss type enemy for every side but you get only more of them if you fuck up the ping pong.

I can't believe Bungie used Rocket Scientists to develop this raid, so you're whole team has to be rocket scientists to do it lol.😂

Here I am watching a raid explanation without any intent to even try it. Well explained tho

That fourth encounter melted my brain

For Second encounter in particular If anyone's having trouble staying alive, and you're on warlock, or your buddy is a warlock, they can use Speakers Sight on Prismatic or just pure Solar if you'd like But I must say healing grenade turrets totally came in clutch especially when getting back to positions after dealing damage

For 4th encounters statues the most I can dumb it down is all 3 statues need to have one of each glyph so all 3 of those guardians need to have a circle square and triangle

I'm pretty convinced this is the video game interpretation of doing your taxes.

32:20 is where the outer guide starts (gl dissectors)

My raid team had to torture ourselves to figure out how first encounter works.

I found a bunch of plates, and resonates outside the encounters. I guess they may be for Catalyst or something along the lines of that... Found lore collectables also

Bungie would do well- to allow a solar grenade the opportunity to melt a dusk field.

Goddamn this Raid was utterly brutal.

Congrats for getting on 39th place for trending!

Great guide as usual Shadow Does anyone know an easier way to identify the arms without using colours in the final encounter? I am colourblind and can't tell them apart really at all, and the symbols are also very difficult to distinguish quickly. Would love to try and figure this out so I'm not relegated to ad clear forever, plus I think shooting all 6 glyphs at once could become the strat as people get used to things.

hardest encounter is 4th i have found out what to do its very fun to do once you learn it

This is such a clear guide. Thank you!

This guy must be a big rick fan

for the fourtb encounter can you skip the step of having all of the same symbol on the wall and just go straight to have the two that are not in your guardians hands

Destiny should add a monthly xur that sells raid armor and exotics for a high price because ain’t no way I’m doing this

My team is cooked, a couple of us have trouble staying alive for long periods….

Muchas gracia por la información del cuarto encuentro, gracias a ti lo pude pasar, ahora boy por el testigo, mil gracias

Best guide so far

So do the plates either have to be bouncing resonance or shut off? For instance, if you bounce it back twice each does the top level have to bounce it back right away or can they wait for you to pick up resonance before sending down?

The Witness got hands.

34:11 very VERY helpful

Can confirm banner shields block everything but the ground attack

Missed step of encounter 4, the dissecting team needs to pick up each symbol after creating the final 3d shapes for each statue, that's what allows the solos to leave, there can't be any knights alive with symbols or any symbols on the ground, everyone has to have something

Don’t have much of a desire of this raid tbh. The only thing I’m interested in getting is the bow w Voltshot

I refuse to believe what I’ve just seen on that 4th encounter gonna be a long night

Thank you for taking the extra time to make those graphics like showing the plates bouncing off each other. Most guides don't even bother matching the gameplay to what is trying to convey lol

for 4th encounter, you should have put up a diagram when you said "dunk them in a clockwise order from your own statue" because that is just confusing, what if my guardian's statue is in the middle? Clockwise can either be left OR right depending on which wall you're facing...

As someone who doesn't raid at all I'm definately not attempting this. I cannot wrap my head around all these mechanics. I'm just used to simpler mechanics like the wrath of the machine raid from d1

Man you make so much more since 😅

Youre the first creator I follow to get a guide out, congrats

thanks

Tormentor spawns after A overload is killed. Where that one is killed is where the plate spawns.

Anyone Can Beat The Final Shape Raid? No, not a chance xD No way. Good guide tho!

how is this possible with randoms from lfg? 😰

What a g for the chests
