==Walkthrough==
===Statue Garden===
Once the fireteam has spawned into the raid lair, you must jump into a central area of the map, known as the "statue garden". In the direct center of the area is a large flaming cauldron, in which an engulfed orb must be thrown to activate the encounter. Arrange your fireteam into 2 groups of three; three guardians on the top section of the map, and three on the bottom. (For this guide, top is considered the area by the water, while the bottom is considered the area closer to the spawn point and drop off). Around the arena are 4 pillars. These pillars must be raised fully, and kept raised or else the team will wipe. In order to fully raise a pillar, a guardian must stand on it with an orb. If a player jumps on without an orb, they will receive the engulfed debuff. If a player acquires this debuff, they must catch a charged or uncharged orb within 15 seconds, or they will die. The orb spawns in the center of the top portion of the map. Before starting, assign 4 players to their own pillar, and two "flex players" (who will relay the orb between pillars if needed and help kill enemies in the playing area). The top flex player will pick up the orb, toss it to one of the top pillars, who will then engulf the ball and throw it at the center cauldron. The pillars will then lower, the area will become a restricted zone and the encounter will officially start. The top flex will once again pass the orb to (preferably) the same pillar, who will then engulf the orb and stand on their pillar, until it is completely raised. Once raised, this player will then pass the orb to the next player in the rotation. It is important to note that the orb can be passed either clockwise or counterclockwise, so long as every player receives it, and raises their pillar up. Eventually, high value targets will spawn (centurions on the first phase, gladiators on the second and colossus on the third), and the shield around the cauldron will lower. A message will indicate this is the bottom left corner, stating "Shield Lowered". At this point, the orb should be passed to whoever is fourth in the rotation (fourth pillar player to receive the charged orb), and they need to throw the orb into the center cauldron, as fast as possible, in order to continue. Repeat this process twice more to receive your loot (shaders, a legendary engram and the "I'm Open!" emote, upon first completion of the encounter)

===Repel the Assault===

This encounter sets up the basic mechanics used to battle Val Ca'uor. There are four large white plates with two on the left and two on the right. When all four of the white plates are stepped on at the same time, an orange lift will activate at the top platform. (For this guide; when facing the outside window, the plates will be numbered 1-4 from left to right) The central structure below the lift have 3 doors each with a smaller plate that has a symbol in the center. These symbols are frequently designated as their outer shapes; triangle on the right side, circle in the center and square on the left.
Assign the fireteam into one of two roles. Four players are needed to hold down the white plates to activate the lift and two "flex" players; one for each side. It is important for the fireteam to know their designated roles and call out their position when communicating to avoid confusion.
Stepping into all four plates will activate a buff called Superior Retainer. A player who possesses Superior Retainer is able to go up the lift into space and survive. There are three random players who receive Superior Retainer. The players who are the "flex" role should take priority over any of the players on the plates. If a player on a plate receives Superior Retainer and both floaters do not, then the floater on the respective side needs to substitute for holding the plate to activate the lift.
The player with Superior Retainer will take the lift up into space and scout for one of the holographic ships highlighted with one of the symbols above and needs to relay the information to the rest of the fireteam. After the call out has been made, the fireteam must leave their positions to hold down the symbols. All three symbol plates must be stood on to open the doors.

At the same time, an orb will be deposited to one of the plates. The orb must be engulfed with greed and thrown into door in front of the corresponding symbol that was called out. If done correctly; a weapon on the Leviathan (Laser Beam, Missile Barrage or Fusion Missile) will be armed in the chat message in the lower corner.
By now, more powerful adds including Honored Colossus will be spawning, so it is imperative that they are dealt with as soon as possible. Once the weapon has been armed, another orb will spawn and a player with Superior Retainer (Usually the same who had went up to scout) needs to engulf it with greed and will take it up the lift back up into space. Throw the engulfed orb at the highlighted ship to destroy it.

After the ship is destroyed, the cycle must be repeated a total of three times before the encounter ends. A reward chest will spawn at the elevated platform just after entering the observatory.
