After a fourth and final battle in the Castellum, pass through the doors and proceed forward along a lengthy corridor coated in a strange purple substance, presumably the Emperor's Royal Wine. [[Emperor Calus]] greets the players as they enter the Throne. To begin the fight, the chalice he holds must be shot out of his hand. He will attack by summoning adds and targeting players with a line-of-sight "Emperor's Gaze" forehead laser. After a short period of fighting, the team will be teleported into a shadowy realm where a massive projection of Calus's head will attempt to inhale and devour them using the lethal debuff Boundless Consumption. Three players can grab Psionic Charges before they are devoured, which will teleport them back to the Throne.
After a fourth and final battle in the Castellum, pass through the doors and proceed forward along a lengthy corridor coated in a purple substance, presumably the "royal wine" made from the ship's consumption of [[Nessus]]. [[Emperor Calus]] greets the players as they enter the Throne. To begin the fight, the chalice he holds must be shot out of his hand. He will attack by summoning adds and targeting players with a line-of-sight "Emperor's Gaze" forehead laser.

Three players can grab Psionic Charges before they are devoured, which will teleport them back to the Throne.


The other three players must shoot projections of Calus's four Psion Councilors to disable their shields in the Throne so the they can be killed. Each Psion is represented by a symbol above their shield (chalice, War Beast, sun, and crossed swords), and the symbol of the projection that appears in the outside area will appear on the shadow Calus's forehead. The projections will appear in pairs for each symbol and must be destroyed, or Calus will inflict the Mental Collapse team-wipe debuff. Once all four pairs are gone, the icon above Calus's forehead will turn black and a final set of projections will appear. Destroy them, and Calus will vomit Cabal skulls at players which can be shot before they inflict damage and grant the stacking, team-wide buff "Force of Will". Once the barrage ends, three more Psionic Charges will appear and the players can use them to return to the Throne.
The other three players must shoot projections of Calus's four Psion Councilors to avoid the Mental Collapse team-wipe debuff. Each Psion in the Throne is also represented by a symbol above their shield (chalice, War Beast, sun, and crossed axes). Each of the players in the shadow realm will see a different symbol on Calus's forehead and must call it out to the players fighting in the Throne; the fourth, unseen symbol which is not called out will be the symbol of the Psion that the Throne group must kill. Failure to kill the correct Psion in a timely fashion will result in a team wipe. In the shadow realm, the projections will appear in pairs for each symbol and must be destroyed, or Calus will inflict Mental Collapse.

Once the barrage ends, three more Psionic Charges will appear and the players can use them to return to the Throne.


With the team reunited, standing on one of the four daises where the Councilors were will grant the Force of Will buff and allow players to damage Calus directly for a time. The amount of Force of Will buff acquired determines how much damage can be inflicted. Be aware that Calus will cause lethal flames to spring up on the occupied dais, and players should jump off and move to the next dais before this happens. As Calus is damaged, pieces of his carapace will fall away, revealing robotics; Calus has chosen to not fight in person. The first time this happens, Calus will begin using an arm-mounted cannon in addition to his forehead laser. After all four daises have been used, Calus will teleport the team back outside to repeat the process of destroying projections and collecting Force of Will. As Calus's health nears zero, he will summon a durable energy shield to protect himself which must be shot away.

To fully unlock these other areas, start at Embarkment. Below the spawn platform is a small room containing six levers that must be pulled by the team in one of three specific orders very quickly. Number the levers 1 through 6, from left to right. The three combinations are 1-5-3-2-4-6, 1-4-3-5-2-6, and 1-3-2-4-5-6. As there is no way to tell which combination is the correct one from week to week, it may be necessary to try all three; players have also reported solving the puzzle by pulling all levers simultaneously. Success will be confirmed by the message "The way is open". Next, leave the room and climb to the middle level of Embarkment, looking for another room on the left side of the structure. Enter it to find another six levers, pull them, and watch for "The way is open" again. Lastly, head to the top level of Embarkment, where the entrance to the Castellum is, and jump to the rim of the pool on the left. Run along the rim until you spot a third room entrance covered in ivy below, then drop down and enter the inner workings of The Leviathan.

==Prestige==
The Prestige mode of Leviathan introduces a number of changes to each stage that increase the raid's complexity and difficulty. A significant alteration that players must be wary of throughout the raid is that dying will remove the player's revive token if they still hold one.
*Royal Pools:
**All enemies have increased health and deal increased damage.
**Oiled Ceremonial Bathers replace Ceremonial Bathers; Oiled Ceremonial Bathers spawn more frequently and drop debuff pools on death that drain 5 units of Psionic Protection per second if the player stands in them.
**After damaging the censers, players receive the "Burden of Worthiness" buff.
**Players must move the plate that corresponds with the symbol they see (Sun, Chalice, Royal Beast, Axes) above the central structure.
*Pleasure Gardens:
**Two additional Royal Beasts are present.
**Royal Beasts have different patrol patterns.
*The Gauntlet:
**No player can run the gauntlet more than once before the fourth phase, forcing all six players to run it once.
**Psion Projections spawn in the central area while players are running the gauntlet, and must be destroyed.
**The number of Psionic Charges that spawn during the fourth phase is reduced from four to three.
*Throne:
**Players who kill a Councilor will teleport to the shadow realm, while a random player in the shadow realm will be teleported to the Throne.
