Here's where I honestly start to lose it. Ignoring the whole "scrub-a-dub-dub" theme, the Royal Pools encounter just screams, "Monotony!"; no one wants to see the player just stand in one place for several seconds at a time, while only killing one or two enemies in the process of waiting for their [[Ceremonial Bather]] to get out of its tub. That's ''boring!'' Instead of starting with the "Psionic Protection" buff, you first have to earn it. Since the bath is toxic, let's keep dry for now and play a little game of "The Floor is Lava".

Each of you would rotate in the same manner that you normally would, but you would constantly be moving around to slowly build up stacks of the buff. You will not be immune until you reach at least 50 stacks. To slowly increase your stacks, players should grab the psionic charges floating on each of the corners. Each charge will grant 2 stacks. For every 10 stacks, excluding 50, achieved by the whole team, a Ceremonial Bather will spawn at each tub, the doors will close, and the psionic charges disappear. Other enemies will be attacking you, so you may now stop running around shoot them all down. Getting attacked by the bather will subtract one stack of the protection buff per hit. If you somehow run out of stacks, you will be inflicted with the "Toxic Nectar Vapor" debuff, which will surround your field of view with a purple haze, drain your health, and reduce the magazine and ammo counts for your equipped weapons. Killing the bather will cause it to drop a psionic charge for you to pick up to keep collecting more stacks of the buff. When you reach 50 stacks, you go to the middle as normal to kill the censers. However, the censers now behave more like turrets and are able to periodically fire streams of toxic gas that can ignore the protection buff, and they will be rotating around the room as well. These censers can be frozen by destroying the Psionic Projections, though they will still attack. When all the censers are destroyed, a large [[Ultra]] [[Gladiator]] called a [[Forum:Submersed Bather|Submersed Bather]] will move forward and attack. Kill it to finish the encounter.
