Verity Fourth Encounter Guide to Salvation's Edge

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to successfully completing the fourth encounter in the Salvation's Edge raid, known as Verity. Designed for players who may find the encounter confusing, this step-by-step guide simplifies the process and enhances your chances of clearing it efficiently.

Step 1: Understand Team Roles

The encounter is divided into two teams: the outside team and the inside team.

• Inside Team: Consists of three players who are transported to separate rooms with statues.
• Outside Team: The remaining three players stay in the original room to interact with the statues.

Key Points

• The encounter begins when one player interacts with a statue at the room's far end.
• The inside team will see three statues with shapes on them, which must be communicated to the outside team.

Step 2: Call Out Shapes

Once inside, the inside team observes the shapes held by their statues.

• Call out the shapes from left to right. For example: "Circle, Square, Triangle."

Practical Advice

• Ensure clarity in communication. It doesn’t matter who makes the call as long as it’s done accurately.

Step 3: Outside Team's Responsibilities

The outside team must adjust the shapes of the statues based on the inside team's callouts.

Actions Required

1. Identify the shapes held by the inside team’s statues.
2. Determine which shapes the outside team needs to add to each statue:
   • If the statue holds a Circle, add a Triangle and a Square.
   • If it holds a Triangle, add a Circle and a Square.
   • If it holds a Square, add a Circle and a Triangle.

Important Note

• Statues display combined shapes rather than individual ones (e.g., a Circle and Square appear as a Cylinder).

Step 4: Shape Swapping Mechanics

The outside team will manipulate the statues based on the shapes needed.

Steps to Swap Shapes

1. Subtract Shapes:

   • If a statue holds a Cylinder (Circle + Square), first take the Circle to another statue (to subtract it).
   • Then, take a Triangle to the third statue (to add it).

2. Complete the Swap:

   • The statues will exchange the shapes, ensuring each has the correct combination.

Tip

• Think of this as a subtraction process to simplify the swapping.

Step 5: Inside Team's Actions

After making the callouts, the inside team must gather the shapes matching what their statues need.

Steps to Follow

1. Each player collects shapes that match their statue’s current shape.
2. Gift these shapes to teammates, ensuring that no one has shapes that their statues hold.

Practical Advice

• Always collect and gift shapes before crafting your final one. This prevents complications later.

Step 6: Dealing with the Witness

While managing shapes, the Witness will occasionally eliminate inside team members.

What to Do When Downed

• Call out your statue's position and the corresponding ghost for your teammates to revive you.
• Communicate effectively to ensure they place the ghost on the correct pedestal.

Step 7: Final Steps

Once the inside team regroups in the main room, prepare for the next phase.

Actions Required

• Eliminate incoming enemies, including Unstoppable Champions.
• Continue communicating to ensure timely ghost retrieval and revivals.

Important Note

• Ensure all team members are familiar with both inside and outside mechanics to avoid confusion.

Conclusion

Completing the Verity encounter in Salvation's Edge requires clear communication, understanding of roles, and effective teamwork. By following these steps, you'll improve your chances of success. Once you've mastered this encounter, enjoy the rewards and prepare for the next challenges in the raid!
