Symbols

This raid heavily relies on a class of mechanics where one group of people must tell another group of people what they see. In Vow, the information to communicate is usually 1-3 symbols from the list below. Here’s a quick reference sheet for those symbols as well as a quiz if you want to make sure you have a solid grasp on them.

Approach

In this encounter, you first fight Savathun, and then escort a payload into the pyramid. Kill the Knowledge Bearers, which will then drop various Knowledge buffs. You can get up to three of these. Go back to the payload to "dunk" them, even though you don't need to press anything to do so. This will keep the payload moving.

Guaranteed Pattern Drop Puzzle

Activate 3 stations throughout the raid to unlock a guaranteed pattern drop at the end of the raid. Works once per account per week.

Acquisition

This encounter involves three teams of two. Each picks a pillar to defend.

Each pillar has three symbols that appear on it: first, either traveller or pyramid. This shows which side of the arena a Taken Knight spawns.

Kill it, and the second symbol appears. This indicates which door you need to run into. Have one player read the symbols and defend, and the second player go run off to that door.

Once inside, the third symbol will appear. this will always be light or darkness. there will be two knights, one one each side. kill the one on the side that is called out, and then write the symbol you see in chat.

Once all three are complete, one of the three obelisks will have all of the symbols on it. Shoot all three to activate, and your gift will be accepted. You may have to shoot a bunch, it's a bit weird. do this whole cycle three times, and you're done.

In this encounter, you need to kill the Caretaker.

Two people will end up being on the callout team, two people on ad clear, and two people will stun the boss.

The caretaker is immune at first. To start the encounter, shoot the cruxes to open the doors. one of the callout team goes inside, and grabs three symbols. the second person then shoots the crux to let them out. same as in the previous encounter, shoot the symbols to give your offering. now the second person runs inside. repeat until all nine symbols have been banked. this starts DPS.

While this is going on, the ad clear folks need to fight taken and scorn. keep the arena as clear as possible.

Additionally, the stun team stuns the boss. you do this by having one person run up close to his face. his face will turn yellow, shoot it and he'll be staggered, and his backpack will open up. have the other person shoot his backpack. this stuns the boss. repeat over and over again until DPS starts.

Once DPS starts, there's three glowing circles around the obelisk. get in the glowy one, shoot the boss in the face, and then move on when it stops glowing. after all three are over, the boss will warp upstairs, and you'll need to run up the stairs and continue. you do the same cycle three times, and then you hit last stand. run up one last set of stairs and shoot the boss in the face till he's dead.
