Fourth Encounter: Truth
Division: Two teams of three Guardians each – the inner team and the outer team.
How does the encounter work? In this encounter, the most important thing is communication between the individual teams. The room is divided into two areas – the spawn, where six statues stand that symbolize your Guardians, and the end, where three random statues are chosen.
These three chosen players will be teleported to their statues and are separated from the rest of the team and trapped there. The other three players, who were not teleported, can move freely around the large room and must help the players in the dimensions. We will now explain what the team in the dimension must do and what the three-man team outside the dimension must do.
Team “Dimension”
If you were teleported, three statues appear with a two-dimensional symbol in their hand: circle, triangle, or square. Identify your statue and see which symbol it holds in its hand. Communicate this in the chat or via microphone.
Your task in the dimension is now to combine two symbols that do not have your two-dimensional symbol. To understand how you can build the symbols, YouTuber Nexxos created a handy graphic:
As an example: If you are player one and your statue holds a triangle, you need to build a cylinder in your dimension. To build a cylinder in your dimension, you must kill the Knights and combine the symbols “Square” and “Circle.” Once you’ve combined both, you will receive a cylindrical buff and can escape from the shards and your world and be saved.
If you do not have the necessary symbols in your dimension, you must distribute the symbols that are in your world to your fellow statues. First, give the symbol they do not hold in their hand, and then distribute your symbol to them. That’s the most important part for the dimension team.
Team “Outside”
The outer team must build the correct three-dimensional body in this world so that the player in the dimension can escape with the correct key. So you will base your actions on what symbol the inner team announces to you.
Every statue from “Outside” has the wrong three-dimensional body and you now have to cut out the symbol that the inner team announced to you for the respective statue and connect it with the correct symbol. You will again receive the symbols from three Knights that spawn in your area.
The process only works with two statues. This means that if you cut something out, you need to activate a second statue that will also swap its cutout symbol with the previously activated statue.
An example:
- Statue 1 has “Triangle” in the dimension – Outside it is a Cone
- Statue 2 has “Square” in the dimension – Outside it is a Prism
- Statue 3 has “Circle” in the dimension – Outside it is a Cylinder
Now you must swap as follows:
- Statue 1 swaps its Triangle with the Square from Statue 2
- Statue 2 swaps its Triangle with the Circle from Statue 3
Result:
- Statue 1 now has a Cylinder
- Statue 2 now has a Cone
- Statue 3 now has a Prism
Now the players in the dimension must build the correct bodies and can now escape.
Final Phase: Petrification
If you have rescued all players, the Witness will petrify all but one player. They must then be informed by the petrified players which ghost to pick up and then place on the pedestal in the spawn. This way, they can un-petrify players.
Petrified players must switch their camera view and navigate their teammates, as only they can see the alternative dimension and know which ghost fits where. Once you have done this, you will need to complete the phase 2 more times to have succeeded.
Tips for the Encounter:
- For the ghost phase, you should dress your Guardian in a way that they can be distinguished from the others. Your ghost should also be conspicuous so it can be connected with you more easily. Each Guardian should have a different ghost.
- Bring weapons that can stop unstoppable champions, as they will spawn.
- Coordinate and communicate with each other. This is the most difficult phase in the raid – so take your time.
This was the fourth encounter. On page 5, the last encounter will come your way.
