Salvation's Edge

Encounter sequence

1. Unlock two circuits

   Gather in the center, collect the opening Resonance and deposit it. Split through the two open doors. Clear Minotaurs and Keeper Hydras to advance the opposite group’s route. Kill the Overload Devotee, remember its room, then regroup for the center Tormentor. Repeat the routing and Tormentor sequence once more.

2. Find the connected plates

   Each group returns to a powered plate. Follow its wire to the open conductor. Put one player at each end; the third protects them and collects center pickups.

3. Bounce and collect

   The sender starts the pulse. The receiver steps on as the shrinking ring appears, then steps off. Alternate catches to generate Pyramidal Resonance. Collect between pulses, staying below four stacks. Everyone confirms collection before closure removes loose pickups.

4. Close, bank, repeat

   The closer holds Resonance, shoots the conductor’s glowing core, then catches the incoming pulse. Once both conductors close, regroup, defeat the center Subjugator and bank remaining stacks to refill the shared timer. Complete three cycles.

Destructoid — Substratum

Encounter sequence

1. Clear your wing

   Shoot the central Blight to begin. Clear the Taken and your wing’s Trammel. One player from each pair receives Call to Reckoning; those players enter the Herald’s arena.

2. Expose the forehead

   Called players shoot the Herald’s weak point. Everyone helps destroy the protective Blights, including those near the wings. Finish breaking the forehead to gain Stolen Favor, then return and read each conductor’s circle or triangle.

3. Match the closing buff

   Bounce plate energy and gather Resonance. The last shape collected determines your carried type. The closer must hold the conductor’s requested type before shooting its core and catching the pulse. Confirm all intended pickups first.

4. Bank and damage

   After all three closures, deposit remaining stacks in the far-side chest. Regroup on the Herald and damage while sustaining the team through stomps. Repeat when immunity returns. At final stand, focus the boss before the short timer ends.

Destructoid — Dissipation

Encounter sequence

1. Take the readers’ buffs

   Deposit the starting pickup. Lower each Tormentor together, leaving its final blow to the designated closer. Stolen Favor reveals the conductor’s shape. Clear elevated Scorpius turrets.

2. Generate the requested shapes

   Bounce the connected plates. Triangle, circle and square pickups are now available. Plan the closer’s last pickup so its type matches the read, without exceeding three total stacks. Do not close until teammates finish collecting.

3. Close and move

   Shoot the conductor core and catch the pulse. After all three close, bank at the center chest. Clear reinforcements and the rear Unstoppable to open the next room.

4. Reassign by connection

   Repeat across three rooms, following the actual wire rather than assuming the plate directly ahead is your partner. Call the receiver’s location before sending.

Destructoid — Repository

Encounter sequence

1. Call the starting shapes

   Solo players read the three statues left-to-right while facing the projection wall. Share that order. Identify your own statue’s shape and the two shapes cycling on your wall. Outside players use this same statue order.

2. Solo: gather your own shape

   Kill Knights for the wall’s shapes. Carry only one at a time while trading. Send any different shape to the statue holding that shape. When every solo room has two copies of its own statue’s shape, confirm together before advancing.

3. Solo: send both copies away

   Give one copy to each of the other two statues. Clear Ogres to refresh Knights. Both opening shapes must leave your room; merely holding a plausible key is insufficient. Wait for all three players to confirm their final wall has the two different shapes absent from their own statue.

4. Outside: swap components

   Work in parallel with the solo rooms. Read each 3D object as two 2D components. Pick up one Knight shape and dissect it from a statue containing that component. Pick up another shape and dissect it from a different statue. The two components swap after the second interaction. Repeat until every outside object matches the key table below.

5. Rescue the solo players

   When the Witness notices your progress, the solo players are frozen. Pause shape deposits. Outside players pick up their Ghosts; frozen players spectate and call which Guardian appears on which numbered pedestal. Match each shell’s owner to that Guardian’s current location and deposit. After all three return, recheck held shapes and resume.

6. Form keys and escape

   Once all trades are complete, each solo player picks up both required different shapes to make a 3D key. With outside dissection also solved, cross the glass barrier. Regroup and clear the enemies, including Unstoppable Ogres.

7. Rescue five, then repeat

   Five players freeze, leaving one survivor. Identify a Ghost’s owner and their visible Guardian statue before depositing. Rescued players help recover the others. Complete three full rounds; read the new statue order each time.

For dissection, sphere = circle + circle; cube = square + square; pyramid = triangle + triangle. Mixed objects use the component pairs above.

Encounter sequence

1. Read a target bracelet

   Start by breaking the opening seal. A runner enters a hand’s attack telegraph and shoots its bracelet. Read the revealed requirement: red needs square Resonance, yellow circle, green triangle. Leave the danger zone before the attack lands.

2. Fetch the required Resonance

   Use the corresponding attack area in the table below. Return to the original hand, briefly enter its telegraph and break the bracelet with the requested buff. Be quick: lingering replaces your Resonance. Success grants Glyphbreaker.

3. Break the chest glyphs

   With Glyphbreaker, stand on the central platform and shoot a chest glyph. Defenders clear the resulting threats. Destroy six glyphs to begin damage; announce the last break so everyone is ready.

4. Answer the test

   If the Witness tests you, call the attack shape of the hand just broken, not the Resonance used to break it. Shoot away excess nodes so the remaining nodes form that shape. Use the linked node reference to learn the patterns. After the correct solution, jump the wipe pulse.

5. Damage while moving

   Shoot the exposed chest from the raised platform. Watch the hands, move out of the telegraphed sweeps and jump the ground-wave attack. Keep the movement caller audible. Leave before the platform slam ends the phase, then repeat the glyph cycle.

6. Finish the final stand

   Save burst damage for the last health segment. The Witness briefly becomes immune before reopening its weak point. Keep dodging while finishing the health bar; survival remains part of damage.
