This is my second time uploading this, the last time was uploaded with atrocious timing. I'm hoping now that this will be shown to more people.

Time will tell if I will remove it again, let's hope RUclips doesn't bury this one.
Perfect explanation of inside, but one correction on outside. You stated that you will always see three double symbols but this is not the case. Outside has one of 3 scenarios; - No 3d shapes are doubles - One 3d shape is a double - Three 3d shapes are doubles Each has a ‘perfect’ way of solving that works 100% of the time, but to summarise; - if none are doubles, dissect the left inside call with a statue that also contains that shape, to end up with a double on the statue, then do a second dissection of that receiving statue with the remaining inside call not yet dissected (if calls are CST, outside is CS ST TC, then dissect C left and T right to leave CC on the right, then dissect C right and S middle) - if 1 is a double, dissect that with both other statues twice (if calls are CST, outside is CS CS TT, do T right and C left and then T right S middle) - if all are doubles, dissect the inside calls in the exact order they are told twice over (has to be in order) and it will resolve correctly (if calls are CST, outside is CC SS TT, dissect C left and S middle, then T right and C left, then S middle and T right) Can explain in more detail if needed, I have a full guide written.

Easily the most straightforward explanation of the encounter I've seen, the diagrams are an exceptional visual aid. Also dividing the encounter into clear distinct segments helps significantly. PS: Love your content and editing style.
FINALLY a video not requiring a calculator! As a console player it takes way too much time for me to plug in. This made SO much sense, I can't wait to impress my clan with my dissection. thank you nomad!
This is by far the best guide Ive seen with intentional footage shown alongside the steps properly AND A PERFECT VISUAL INFOGRAPHIC AAA So many guides Ive seen just have dry talking with random clips in the background. Thank nomad!
Great guide! I have an easier way of doing the ghost mechanic. When “The Witness notices your efforts” appears in the chat, the players inside the rooms should run to their statues and stand next to them. This makes is so the outside players know who’s ghost they are picking up. For example, if a player inside the room is a warlock with cenotaph on and they die next to their own statue, the outside players don’t need to look at what the ghost shell is, they can just say “I have the cenotaph warlock” and the dead players can call out where it is if they see a cenotaph warlock.
Only step by step guide that explains the mechanics AND how to do them. To many guides on this fight are just skipping to the how you do it without explaining the core mechanics.
I hope you genuinely know you are one of the best D2 creators out there. Genuinely informative, structured, and well thought out videos are rare, but thats all you make 😅
Nice guide, Nomad! You did really well with the visual guides. I would have liked to see some mention of how to course correct if an inside guardian accidentally picks up the wrong shape. For the unaware, if you accidentally pick up the wrong shape when on the inside, you can pick up a second shape and deposit it on any statue. The 3D shape will cancel out and reset your shape pool. You’ll have to kill another ogre, but it’s better than causing a wipe. I’ll be sharing this with my fireteams. Good work, Nomad and team!
I’ve watched multiple raid guides, and this without a doubt is the BEST explanation of this encounter. It’s all about the wording and you do a very good job by not making it hard to follow what you mean. Clear and concise. Awesome video.
This is my favorite encounter in the entire raid. It stumped me for so long when I attempted it after challenge mode, and when I finally understood it, it was so satisfying. On the inside, it could be faster, but people get confused easily, double symbols is easy for others to understand, so very good encounter explanation!
Something I've realized for the outside team to not even have to think about the shapes. You're almost replicating the 1st step of the solo team. If the call is TSC, triangles go on the left statue, until it can't take any more, squares on the middle and curcles on the right. The only catch here is to not repeat shapes
once you understand what to do the outside is actually easier than inside: triangle goes to triangle, square to square, circle to circle 😂 you need two sets of knights (4 or 6 shapes), and except you got three double shapes on start you certainly would be done before the inside team died
Wait so if it’s TCS, kill the knight and if the knight drops a triangle put the triangle into the left statue? Then kill another knight pick up the square and put it in the middle statue etc etc? Is that really how it works? lol I might’ve been overthinking it this entire time
This is probably the best guide I've seen - 3 mechanics (inside, outside, and drip) and with super clean graphics + narration Thanks for the peak content king
Thanks for this video. I have doen this encounter 3 times and had only an idea of what was going on. You made it very easy to follow your directions and explained it very well. Thank you 🙏
Fantastic guide here Ascendant! I'm a sherpa in my clan and after watching a few other guides and diagrams, it was still very hard to follow. I love the segmenting of the roles you did in this guide! Also, what made me really understand the shape moving mechanics was when you said: The shape solutions on the inside, match the outside. The solution image you made is what I am going to base my teaching off of and I think this really is a simple way to tell everyone what the goal is in this encounter. Thanks a bunch!
This is legit Plato's Cave allegory turned into gameplay and then inflicted on the Destiny player base in some sort of mad social science/philosophy experiment. Mad props to whoever came up with this idea, and even madder props to all the people who devised the actual mechanics.
this guide was excellent. I kid you not! ive seen like 4 different guides and didnt understand shi... but this makes it crystal clear. heck it aint that hard for people to be explaining it insuch a convoluted manner
No seems, it definitely is a nightmare. I’ve had 17 LFG teams disband due to the monotonous mechanics in this raid. The combat is awesome, the mechanics just suck.
Been watching guides of this since it came out and by far the easiest to understand this one NOMAD. I knew inside but not outside. I just prayed it took me in because outside I was useless and just cleared ads. 😂
Thank you for the explanation. I now realize that Bungie has created a troll raid to counteract Root of Nightmares being too easy. I will not be participating. I’m a rank 11 btw
Crazy way of saying you don’t care enough to learn what is essentially a moderately challenging visualization puzzle If you don’t want to do it, you don’t want to do it. That’s fine. That doesn’t mean it’s a troll raid.
Nomad, you are a godsend. Third time really is the charm. I went to Datto for the overall gist but but it was still rather complex. I turned to Fallout who made the raid make sense but Verity was still complex (at least outside job). So I now turn to you and outside job seems so much simpler now. It's not that I don't understand but performing under stress. Because the internal dialogue looks like: "Ok, order is CTS. If 1 is C, then they need T and S." "Ok T and S make prism" "C currently has a a sphere" "A sphere is C+C" *Run off breaking down the remaining shapes to see who has what* "Oh 3 has a T, I can take that" *Kill knights to do dissection* And that's just ONE swap. My brain does that for it all. So hearing you say "Once one is done then the other two should have 1 symbol they do need and one symbol they don't" Slices the thinking power in half because of how streamlined the thought becomes. That whole list I wrote above just becomes 1 line (at least for *after* the first statue is done)
When all 5 guardians are dead, we've found it more effective to have the one guardian alive NOT grab any ghost, but to grab what people are calling out - this way they're not grabbing a random ghost hoping the person who can see it is paying attention
Been watching a few of your videos over the last week or 2, but this one is the one that singlehandedly made me subscribe. After this video, Verify is a joke.
the combination of the channel icon and the simple thumbnail made me think this was a vsauce video for a second, and it says a lot that I didn't question that it was about raid mechanics
One thing I will add is that once you are revived from the five death part, you can still see the glowing statue, so you can grab that persons ghost and deposit it without needing a callout.
Finally did this raid the other night and this room was what took us the longest. We got there with 4 learning and 2 sherpas and by the time we finished we had 2 that have never been through the raid and 4 that have which helped a lot with that room. Most of the other areas we did within about 5 tries except this. I am still trying to get the shape thing down. I have the putting ghosts in the right place as long as others will work with my way. Us older folks tend to not remember every person and every ghost that they go with,so I would pick up the ghost say which one I had and ask what character and what made them stick out so the position could get called out.
4:15 i wish you guys would teach the simple lets communicate method. Each guardian will start with either 1 or 2 symbols that dont belong in the room. If its 1 only, then each person needs to call out which symbol they need. The people with that symbol can then dunk it in your statue and pick up the symbol they do need on the first knights. Then ogres. Then knights to break free. I think your method requires 3 sets of knights.
I have an issue with this encounter, and I'm unsure if it's due to a bug, or something else. My team has made the correct shapes on the outside of the wall, we have Cylinder, prism and cone, on the inside we had the corresponding keys, I had Cylinder, middle had prism and right had cone. yet the wall wouldn't break and we couldn't continue. Is there something we're missing ?
Another thing my team determined is everyone need to not have symbols flashing on their wall as well. For example if my statue is cylindrical and I get the cyclindric object crafted to escape my room, I still can’t escape if there is a shape flashing on my wall (this just means that someone miscommunicated or dumped on the wrong statue but you can have 3 shadows flashing and it caused my team a lot of grief on our first night doing this)
Last night my team would say that when they went to the inside they couldn't get their knights to spawn specifically when they were like trying to make a key. Is anyone have any ideas on why this would be happening or how to spawn the nights more reliably?
This is exactly how I try to explain dissection to new players so they can dissect better than people who think they know what they're doing lol I've met a few people who tried to gaslight me into thinking I'm somehow wrong but I can finish dissection very fast and it's a braindead method that anyone can learn how to do without any tools or spreadsheets or cheat sheets, etc.
Looks like ill just learn the witness fight and just do that each week because theres no way im learning this mess. Kudos to anyone who finished this during contest.
so is the matching of the shape you hold in the "inside" room step necessary? You can do it without that step very easy and get to the right shapes but everytime we did it it would not let out of the "inside" rooms.
You can force three of the members into the area by sending them ahead, can't you? Like each time I ran, I interacted with the "Free Guardian" or I stood in front of a statue at the front (next to the projector) and I got taken inside.
Has anyone tried making doubles inside AND outside as a means of escape. If the goal is to just make a key that does not include the initial shape presented on each Guardian's statue, wouldn't doubles of the other shapes work?
Halloween masks are perfect for this encounter. With Fireteam power scaling, the 0 power means nothing (unless you're the leader). No one has trouble recognizing the pyramid or traveler heads 🤖
If one person really understands the 3d shape and you guys aren't worried about dying too much u can have that person off themselves and revive them after the teleport like in vog and you can do that for each teleport
This is much much better than whatevee the FUCK so-called "top-tier" D2 content creator Datto puts out. I swear the guy is more about his quips and jibes and nitpicks than actually helping others.
5:45 is, to be a litte blunt, just plain inaccurate. The encounter is not guaranteed to start with only 3D shapes made of identical 2D shapes. (i.e. the cube/sphere/pyramid). It is possible for a statue to begin with prism, cylinder or cone as well. The method works the same, dissecting shapes from statues that contain the same shape as the 2D shapes on the inside statues, but saying that the encounter starts with cube, sphere and pyramid is just factually wrong.
Good thing I kept the Festival of the Lost mask around. As long as I am not the leader, I can make my Hunter look like Pyramid Head for the who has what Ghost mechanic.
Hi, was hoping for some clarity on this encounter. My team and I have no trouble completing this encounter, and we decided to even further optimise by completing all (but specifically the inside) jobs with minimum number of swaps. We found that even when dissecting perfectly, and all guardians holding the correct 3D shapes, we would sometimes (quite often) not be able to leave the room. The running theory is that there is some other condition that needs to be hit. (e.g. minimum number of swaps) We were not able to identify what that additional condition is. The longer method outlined above did not have an issue, but it would be nice to know the actual rules behind the mechanic. Do you know have any info on this at all?
you might just be going too fast. The raid definitely has some bugs that need to be ironed out, so I find it's best at this early stage to just go steady instead of quickly. The normal method is fast enough if done right.
we have noticed this as well. if we go for speed and efficiency of swaps, the witness never kills the 3 inside players and it wont let the inside team go through the glass, even if everything has been done correctly. But if we match all like symbols (as nomad describes in the video) the witness will do the 3 player wipe and then it works, every time. So far we have just assumed that a certain number of swaps must happen to trigger the 3 man wipe mechanic, which is also somehow tied to passing through the glass with your shape.
Being tiled instantly by a square an a circle making a 3D cylinder might be the most petty thing iv ever been tilted by. Watched several guides on this to try convince myself i could get through an LGF raid but this one encounter i think would be the *people mute there mics pretend to be AFK then leave* stage.
Why does everyone cut and paste their runs whilst explaining. For the first outside change you cut your video and pick up 3 shapes, whilst exposing just the two you swap??? This makes it soooooo difficult to understand
For drown in the drip do the guardian statues stay in the same spot throughout the encounter, or do they change each time you need to interact with them?
What if inside i have the 2 shapes that match my teammates, do I just give them to the correct statues and then will I have 2 of my shape in my territory?
Correct. The first goal is to get your own two shapes, so swap them around until you do. Then deposit yours into the other statues. It's a foolproof way of distributing. A more advanced way could be to call out just what you need, but that would require everyone being rock solid in their callouts and understanding.
I’d love to see confirmation the advanced way is possible. Provided no one on the inside started doubled up, the advanced way would mean everyone does 1-swap to reach their goal, but this doesn’t work, and I want to confirm why not.

Perfect explanation of inside, but one correction on outside.
You stated that you will always see three double symbols but this is not the case. Outside has one of 3 scenarios;
- No 3d shapes are doubles
- One 3d shape is a double
- Three 3d shapes are doubles
Each has a ‘perfect’ way of solving that works 100% of the time, but to summarise;
- if none are doubles, dissect the left inside call with a statue that also contains that shape, to end up with a double on the statue, then do a second dissection of that receiving statue with the remaining inside call not yet dissected (if calls are CST, outside is CS ST TC, then dissect C left and T right to leave CC on the right, then dissect C right and S middle)
- if 1 is a double, dissect that with both other statues twice (if calls are CST, outside is CS CS TT, do T right and C left and then T right S middle)
- if all are doubles, dissect the inside calls in the exact order they are told twice over (has to be in order) and it will resolve correctly (if calls are CST, outside is CC SS TT, dissect C left and S middle, then T right and C left, then S middle and T right)
Can explain in more detail if needed, I have a full guide written.
Gotta love the algorithm.
5:36 who is that? I’m an ignoramus
"There is no add clear role" - countless Guardians felt attacked by that statement. 😂
all roles are add clear, they just ALSO have to do other things.

THE best guide for the encounter so far. pls pls consider putting out guides for the rest of the encounters as well

Nice guide, Nomad! You did really well with the visual guides. I would have liked to see some mention of how to course correct if an inside guardian accidentally picks up the wrong shape.

Something I've realized for the outside team to not even have to think about the shapes. You're almost replicating the 1st step of the solo team.

"Ok T and S make prism"

"A sphere is C+C"
*Run off breaking down the remaining shapes to see who has what*
"Oh 3 has a T, I can take that"
*Kill knights to do dissection*

Been watching a few of your videos over the last week or 2, but this one is the one that singlehandedly made me subscribe. After this video, Verify is a joke.

the combination of the channel icon and the simple thumbnail made me think this was a vsauce video for a second, and it says a lot that I didn't question that it was about raid mechanics

One thing I will add is that once you are revived from the five death part, you can still see the glowing statue, so you can grab that persons ghost and deposit it without needing a callout.
Seems like an excellent guide. I was watching it to get ready to attempt the raid. After watching it, I'll never attempt the raid.
Finally did this raid the other night and this room was what took us the longest. We got there with 4 learning and 2 sherpas and by the time we finished we had 2 that have never been through the raid and 4 that have which helped a lot with that room. Most of the other areas we did within about 5 tries except this. I am still trying to get the shape thing down. I have the putting ghosts in the right place as long as others will work with my way.

Sharing this on my clan's discord!
After 8 videos, I finally get it😁
5:32 Drewsky jumpscare lol
Whoever has come up with this phase at Bungie - hats off. And also: You're sick ;)
One point of clarification for outside team is that 1 person should be doing the dissecting. The other 2 do ad clear, killing knights, et.
Holy, I like how difficult this is at first, but after some time just becomes easy through constant repeat
Didn’t see it the first time. Giving a watch now
bruh you literally made this so fucking simple thank you so much
7:26 you should call out that the left guardian can now leave the room bc his shape is solved.
this encounter is why i will never touch this raid
4:15 i wish you guys would teach the simple lets communicate method. Each guardian will start with either 1 or 2 symbols that dont belong in the room. If its 1 only, then each person needs to call out which symbol they need. The people with that symbol can then dunk it in your statue and pick up the symbol they do need on the first knights. Then ogres. Then knights to break free. I think your method requires 3 sets of knights.
I have an issue with this encounter, and I'm unsure if it's due to a bug, or something else.
My team has made the correct shapes on the outside of the wall, we have Cylinder, prism and cone,
on the inside we had the corresponding keys, I had Cylinder, middle had prism and right had cone.
yet the wall wouldn't break and we couldn't continue.
Is there something we're missing ?
"I AM THE FIRST KNIFE THAT CARVED PURPOSE INTO BEING"
DRIP OR DROWN, GUARDIANS!
I feel like my smooth brain gained a single wrinkle while trying this
nightmare encounter and you have to do this 3 th times .... thanks bungo very fun !
Another thing my team determined is everyone need to not have symbols flashing on their wall as well.
For example if my statue is cylindrical and I get the cyclindric object crafted to escape my room, I still can’t escape if there is a shape flashing on my wall (this just means that someone miscommunicated or dumped on the wrong statue but you can have 3 shadows flashing and it caused my team a lot of grief on our first night doing this)
Last night my team would say that when they went to the inside they couldn't get their knights to spawn specifically when they were like trying to make a key. Is anyone have any ideas on why this would be happening or how to spawn the nights more reliably?
Amazing visuals!
This is exactly how I try to explain dissection to new players so they can dissect better than people who think they know what they're doing lol

At this point verity is gonna become a whole undergrad
so happy this is back xD
Omg please do more of these
“That’s right. It goes in the square hole.” 😊
so is the matching of the shape you hold in the "inside" room step necessary? You can do it without that step very easy and get to the right shapes but everytime we did it it would not let out of the "inside" rooms.
He said it …he said it…he said final shape zomg
My strategy has finally arrived (reference to when Nomad said that on Datto's video)
You can force three of the members into the area by sending them ahead, can't you? Like each time I ran, I interacted with the "Free Guardian" or I stood in front of a statue at the front (next to the projector) and I got taken inside.
Has anyone tried making doubles inside AND outside as a means of escape.
If the goal is to just make a key that does not include the initial shape presented on each Guardian's statue, wouldn't doubles of the other shapes work?
Halloween masks are perfect for this encounter. With Fireteam power scaling, the 0 power means nothing (unless you're the leader). No one has trouble recognizing the pyramid or traveler heads 🤖
No wonder this took like 7 hours to beat on day 1, you could lock me in a room for eternity and I’d die of starvation before I figure it out
Note: If you get pulled out and forgot your guardian. They’re still glowing on the pedestal while you’re alive
If one person really understands the 3d shape and you guys aren't worried about dying too much u can have that person off themselves and revive them after the teleport like in vog and you can do that for each teleport
I shouldn't need to be studying a video game encounter more than a final in a college class.
This is much much better than whatevee the FUCK so-called "top-tier" D2 content creator Datto puts out. I swear the guy is more about his quips and jibes and nitpicks than actually helping others.
5:45 is, to be a litte blunt, just plain inaccurate. The encounter is not guaranteed to start with only 3D shapes made of identical 2D shapes. (i.e. the cube/sphere/pyramid). It is possible for a statue to begin with prism, cylinder or cone as well. The method works the same, dissecting shapes from statues that contain the same shape as the 2D shapes on the inside statues, but saying that the encounter starts with cube, sphere and pyramid is just factually wrong.
Good thing I kept the Festival of the Lost mask around. As long as I am not the leader, I can make my Hunter look like Pyramid Head for the who has what Ghost mechanic.
Hi, was hoping for some clarity on this encounter. My team and I have no trouble completing this encounter, and we decided to even further optimise by completing all (but specifically the inside) jobs with minimum number of swaps. We found that even when dissecting perfectly, and all guardians holding the correct 3D shapes, we would sometimes (quite often) not be able to leave the room. The running theory is that there is some other condition that needs to be hit. (e.g. minimum number of swaps) We were not able to identify what that additional condition is. The longer method outlined above did not have an issue, but it would be nice to know the actual rules behind the mechanic.
Do you know have any info on this at all?
you might just be going too fast. The raid definitely has some bugs that need to be ironed out, so I find it's best at this early stage to just go steady instead of quickly. The normal method is fast enough if done right.
we have noticed this as well. if we go for speed and efficiency of swaps, the witness never kills the 3 inside players and it wont let the inside team go through the glass, even if everything has been done correctly. But if we match all like symbols (as nomad describes in the video) the witness will do the 3 player wipe and then it works, every time. So far we have just assumed that a certain number of swaps must happen to trigger the 3 man wipe mechanic, which is also somehow tied to passing through the glass with your shape.
Both of your starting shapes need to be swapped.
Being tiled instantly by a square an a circle making a 3D cylinder might be the most petty thing iv ever been tilted by.
Watched several guides on this to try convince myself i could get through an LGF raid but this one encounter i think would be the *people mute there mics pretend to be AFK then leave* stage.
This whole encounter is a clusterfuck of a situation.
Why does everyone cut and paste their runs whilst explaining. For the first outside change you cut your video and pick up 3 shapes, whilst exposing just the two you swap??? This makes it soooooo difficult to understand
So basically the knights are postmen that got bitten by dogs too many times and now shoots anyone on sight.
For drown in the drip do the guardian statues stay in the same spot throughout the encounter, or do they change each time you need to interact with them?
They change each time you interact with them. So once someone brings u ur ghost, the next time u do it ur statue will be in another spot
I think I'm dumb because I understand the inside part well enough but the outside means job my brain just won't sort it out
Best Guide! On yt
Skip this encounter.
Someone has to hold a checkpoint at the final encounter, join them to fight the Witness and get your loot.
I wanna see a verity completion with 6 identical guardians
What if inside i have the 2 shapes that match my teammates, do I just give them to the correct statues and then will I have 2 of my shape in my territory?
Correct. The first goal is to get your own two shapes, so swap them around until you do. Then deposit yours into the other statues. It's a foolproof way of distributing.
A more advanced way could be to call out just what you need, but that would require everyone being rock solid in their callouts and understanding.
I’d love to see confirmation the advanced way is possible. Provided no one on the inside started doubled up, the advanced way would mean everyone does 1-swap to reach their goal, but this doesn’t work, and I want to confirm why not.
