However, while progressing through the rooms, the teams should notices a glowing plate on the ground and an obelisk shaped object in a connecting room with a glowing central piece. These are the main mechanic for this and the following two encounters: circuit plates and a conduit. As soon as the players have made their rounds and eliminated their second Threshold Sentinel, players are safe to begin bouncing the charges between the plates as soon as they are located. Once the glowing plate is stepped on, a glowing bolt of light should be seen traversing one of the orange lines connected between the rooms, heading towards the room with the powered conduit. Players in both rooms should be coordinating bouncing these charges to not only keep the charge on, but also spawn resonances in the plate rooms and the center. So, the two teams should also break down into two of the players dealing with the plates while one deals with the conduit itself while the other one deals with add clear and also picking up resonances that will spawn in middle. To maintain the charge, plate players should step on their plates when they see the charge enter their plate or, more safely, wait to see when a rapidly shrinking circular aura spawns on it while the plate itself also glows. While waiting for the charge to bounce back to them, the plate players should be collecting the resonances that have spawned in their rooms while add clear should be picking up resonances in the center room when their sides don't need help with adds. It should be noted that Guardians can only hold a maximum of 3 resonances, any more and they will be killed instantly. Additionally, the stacks also have a timer that will also kill the wielder if the timer hits zero. While bouncing charges, teams of [[Goblin]]s and [[Weaver]]s should be spawning. While Goblins don't pose as much of a threat, Weavers should take priority as their {{Icon|Strand}} Transverse Weave ability can disrupt plate charges and stall time. If by any chance a charge is lost when a player doesn't step on their plate in time, a [[Subjugator]] will lock down the plates and conduits, and must be eliminated as quickly as possible. To lock down a conduit, the player in the room with it must gather their resonance, shoot the center of the conduit (it should start to generate a rippling resonant aura once done so) and then step on their plate when the charge enters it. Once done, the player should lose one of their resonance stacks while the entire conduit should close and glow brightly. However, once a conduit is closed, the resonances that spawned on their corresponding sides will despawn, so Guardians should have all the resonance the can gather from their rooms and the center. When both conduits are powered, the team should rendezvous in the center to eliminate the Vex and a Subjugator before a chest spawns. All players should start to gather around the chest to activate it as these chests are proximity activated, and only can be interacted with once everyone is around it. After a player with stacks of resonance interacts with it, they should lose the resonance entirely and the Final Shape Looming wipe timer should visibly increase back up again. All players should dunk their resonances to spare them of the after effects of the resonance itself and give them more time for another round, which should increase back to the original timer of 4 minutes if done properly. Note that the Witness will continue to harry the team with the Resonant Gaze attack, which can also be troublesome once the team starts to deposit their resonances in the center chest. The players then repeat this process two more times until the enemies retreat and a staircase leading further into the monolith unfurls from the ceiling. | However, while progressing through the rooms, the teams should notices a glowing plate on the ground and an obelisk shaped object in a connecting room with a glowing central piece.

Before starting the encounter the fireteam should divide themselves into three teams of two, each assigned to either the left, middle or right side; it is recommended that the most skilled of the fireteam be assigned to the left side considering it's difficulty regarding terrain. Once the teams have made it to their sides, they should destroy the blight in the middle of the arena, thus summoning the [[Herald of Finality]] into the fray. The team should immediately start eliminating the [[Ravenous Taken Knight]]s and [[Attendant]]s on their side and their respective Trammels: [[Trammel of Demise]] on left, [[Trammel of Conflict]] in middle and [[Trammel of Time]] on right. Once at least one of the Trammels are eliminated, the Herald of Finality will summon a player from each side to the center of the arena. Guardians can deal with this in one of two ways, either dealing with the Herald first, gaining the Stolen Favor they need to read immediately, but can be risky with little time to activate plates or dealing with plates first, having the resonances on standby, but having to deal with another Trammel. Either way, the teams have to deal with the circuit plates and answer the Herald in conflict. | |||
The players Called to Reckoning should enter the center part of the arena with the Herald and shoot the glowing spot on their head to try and gain the Stolen Favor buff instead. However, the team should notice that an orb of blight will spawn around the Herald and immediately negate all damage to the spot on the head. To remove it, the fireteam should look around the arena for blights that will have spawned around the sides of the arena and destroy them. Once so, the engaged team should focus fire on the critical spot and gain the Stolen Favor buff. Players in the center arena should also now notice a new Witness hand attack, this time, sprouting from the floor. Once it spirals, it will launch a barrage of Resonant Seekers that will target a circular area within the arena, and can burn away health nearly instantly, so players should avoid this attack whenever possible. Additionally, if the Called team is eliminated, the Herald will "celebrate your failure" and immediately invoke a wipe. | |||
Once the Called Guardians have gained their Stolen Favor buff, they should immediately head to their side and read the conduit; now, a new mechanic is added to the circuits and conduits. Instead of just triangle, players should now notice a circular resonance spawning around their side. Additionally, the Guardian with stolen favor should also notice the center of the conduit contains either a glowing triangle or circle inside it; if the strategy has this player sending the charge instead of locking it in, they should call it out to the conduit player. If the wrong shaped resonance is deposited into the conduit, it will immediately invoke a wipe, so the Guardians should be picking up the correct shaped resonance. Players can pick up any resonance, but the last one picked up immediately overrides the last one picked up. For example, if the conduit needs a circle, the player locking it down can pick up two triangles, and finally pick up a circle, overriding the triangular resonance and replacing it with a circular resonance. All players should be collecting as much resonance as they can with the same principle as last time, extending the wipe timer for next phase. If a charge is lost, the players may either need to start again without much issue or have to deal with another trammel. Once all conduits are locked down, the players should head towards the vista of the arena, in the shadow of the Witness hand and deposit all their resonance into the chest that has spawned there. Once done, the timer should extend and the edges of the arena should glow, indicating that the Herald is damageable. Players should unleash all matter of attacks into the Herald while the boss itself is still vulnerable. Players should repeat this process until final stand, where the Herald will reset the timer to thirty seconds and summon all the Trammels within the arena; players should keep all focus on the Herald itself until it is hopefully eliminated within the narrow timeframe. | |||
