Beginners Guide to Verity in Destiny 2! 4th Encounter Salvations Edge.

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to completing the Verity encounter in the Salvation's Edge raid in Destiny 2. The encounter can be challenging, even for veteran players, but understanding your role and the mechanics involved will help you contribute effectively to your team. This guide breaks down the encounter into manageable sections, focusing on both the inside and outside roles.

Chapter 1: Inside Room Mechanics

When you enter the inside room, your primary goal is to interact with the Guardian statues and manage the symbols associated with them. Follow these steps:

1. Interact with the Guardian Statues

   • Approach one of the three Guardian statues and interact with it.

2. Identify Your Symbol

   • Each Guardian will see a unique symbol above their statue (e.g., circle, triangle).
   • Look at the back wall to identify rotating shapes.

3. Retrieve and Deliver Symbols

   • If your symbol is a circle, kill the Knight that drops the triangle and take it to the statue with the triangle.
   • Inform your team when your symbols match.

4. Complete the Key

   • Once all symbols are matched, retrieve the remaining two symbols that do not match yours.
   • Use these symbols to create the key needed to exit the room.

5. Manage Additional Enemies

   • After successfully managing symbols, be prepared to kill an ogre that will spawn, which drops additional Knights.

6. Note on Freezing Mechanic

   • Occasionally, you will become frozen, which appears as if you have died. This requires coordination with the outside team to recover.

Chapter 2: Outside Room Mechanics

In the outside room, you will work with three other Guardians to assist those in the inside room. Here’s how to manage your role effectively:

1. Identify Frozen Guardians

   • Communicate with the frozen Guardians to identify their locations based on the death camera view.

2. Deposit Ghosts

   • Each active Guardian must retrieve a ghost from their room and deposit it into the appropriate Guardian statue, as identified by the frozen players.

3. Understand Statue Placement

   • Statues are numbered from left to right, so clarify which statues correspond to each frozen Guardian.

4. Ensure Unique Identifiers

   • Use unique armor and ghost shells to simplify identification, reducing confusion during the encounter.

5. Handle the Extended Encounter

   • After all Guardians are freed, be prepared for a final push where you will have to defeat additional enemies quickly.

6. Coordinate Movement

   • Spread out to ensure everyone can see different frozen Guardians’ locations. This allows for effective and rapid ghost retrieval.

Conclusion

Successfully completing the Verity encounter in Destiny 2 requires clear communication and an understanding of your role, whether inside or outside. Focus on mastering the mechanics of your assigned role, coordinate with your team, and be prepared for the unexpected. Practice will enhance your proficiency, making the encounter manageable. Good luck, Guardians!
