Frequently Asked Questions
What is Neomuna? Lore time!
What are Cloudstriders?
- Neomuna’s defenders; Nimbus (your vendor) and Rohan (their mentor) are enhanced humans who gave up their lifespan to defend the city.
- Cloud Striders are cybernetically enhanced protectors of Neomuna, a human civilization on Neptune.
- They are created through a process of augmentation using nanotechnology, which involves a painful and physically demanding procedure.
- This process, performed at a facility called the Sidereal, deconstructs and reconstructs the body with nanites, leading to a shortened lifespan.

What is the Shadow Legion?
- The Shadow Legion is a Cabal force led by Emperor Calus, who has allied himself with the Witness and its forces.
- This legion is composed of Calus’ loyalists and defectors from Empress Caiatl’s Imperial Cabal, augmented with Black Fleet technology from the Witness to combat Guardians and suppress their powers.
- Calus also utilizes cloning technology, potentially creating mindless foot soldiers within the legion.
- The Shadow Legion’s true nature is debated, with some lore suggesting they are “hollow” or mindless shells, while others highlight the presence of more experienced Cabal commanders.

What is the Veil, and why is it important?
- The Veil is a mysterious paracausal object beneath Neomuna tied to the Traveler and Darkness.
- It plays a central role in Lightfall’s story, though its true nature remains unclear until future events unfold.
What is the Radial Mast?
- I…don’t know.
- Okay, let’s dive into this once and for all! Spoilers ahead.
- The Radial Mast is a paracausal artifact built by the Witness and used by Emperor Calus to link the Traveler and the Veil, aiming to create a portal into the Pale Heart.
- It serves as a powerful light suppressor, and its destruction was crucial to preventing the Witness from achieving its Final Shape.
Campaign: Normal vs Legendary Mode
- Like The Witch Queen, Lightall features two different experiences for the campaign:
- Normal Mode: Your traditional campaign mode. Expect your usual mission combat.
- Legendary Mode: The Power Level between you and your enemies are scaled, and there are limited revives and modifiers to make this a challenging experience. Earn additional rewards, XP and bonus rewards after completing the campaign. Difficulty is also adjusted based on fireteam size.
Vendor: Nimbus
- The Rookie Cloudstrider Nimbus is the planetary vendor for Neomuna
- Earn reputation by looting chests and materials, completing bounties and completing various activities on Neomuna such as patrols, missions, public events and Lost Sectors!

Raid: Root of Nightmares
The Traveler has awoken an ancient threat...
- The Root of Nightmares is located within the Pyramid Ship that the Traveler attacked with a beam of powerful Light during the events of Lightfall.
- What inadvertently happened was the Traveler awakening Nezarec, a powerful dark force of nature.
- Nezarec’s influence was so great that it even impacted the citizens in Neomuna’s digital city, the Cloud Ark, causing nightmares and cursed visions.
Note: Raids are endgame activities. Use communication and of course – be patient!
Encounters: General Information & Mechanics
- There are 4 main encounters during this raid
- Click on the collapsed sections below to learn more about each encounter!
- For more details, please refer to the raid guide videos provided in this section.
Cataclysm
General Information
- The objective of this encounter is to introduce Guardians to the primary mechanic for the raid, which is to connect a series of nodes together.
- 1 − Two players collect the ‘Field of Light’ buff from the starting node and work together to complete the network.
- 2 − The remaining players focus on add-clear, focusing on Psions and Tormentors.
Key Mechanics
- Sweeping Terror: A 33-second debuff that wipes the team when it hits zero.
- This can be extended by defeating Tormentors, which will appear after defeating two Psions encased in a bubble-like aura.
- Nodes: A series of nodes that must be connected by shooting a node while holding the Field of Light buff. An activated node points to the next one in sequence. A complete set temporarily halts the Sweeping Terror debuff.
- Field of Light: A 15-second buff acquired by shooting the glowing node/one with the aura.
- Hitting the next node in sequence while holding the buff activates the node while also consuming the buff.
- Disruption: Players lose the Field of Light buff and must recollect it.
- This occurs when the aura node is activated if the next node has not been activated and someone has the buff outside of the aura.
Scission
General Information
- Similar to Cataclysm, the goal is to connect nodes, except this time doing so on multiple levels.
- 1 − Collect the Field of Light or Flux of Darkness and cross to the other side and activate the node.
- 2 − Cross back to the starting side and activate the next node, repeat until all nodes on a level are connected.
- 3 − Use the piston at the end to reach the next floor and repeat the process.
Key Mechanics
- Field of Light / Flux of Darkness: A 15 seconds buff that allows a player to activate the next node.
- Buff is acquired by standing within the glowing aura and shooting the node.
- Shooting the next node in the sequence consumes this buff.
- The buff also allows players to damage the Redolence of Splendor enemies.
- Buffs cannot activate a node of the opposite colour.
- Node: A series of nodes that are activated by shooting it while standing on its plate while also having a Field of Light or Flux of Darkness buff.
- Activating a node consumes the Field of Light / Flux of Darkness buff.
- Imminent Expulsion: A timer that will wipe the team.
- NOTE: The Timer disappears when both networks are completed.
- Redolence of Splendor: Unique enemies that can only be damaged when a player has the Field of Light / Flux of Darkness buff.
- Pistons: Used to cross the gap by shooting the shard to activate the piston.
- The piston at the end of a level activates once its network is built.
- Caution to Warlocks: This mechanic may not fully lift you; ensure you boost yourself as you are being moved to the other section; alternatively, have a sword with eager edge!
- Disruption: Removes the Field of Light / Flux of Darkness buffs.
- Occurs when an aura node is shot when a player with the buff is moving to activate the next node in the network.
Macrocosm, Zo'Aurc, Explicator of Planets
General Information
- A completely different mechanic than the other two encounters.
- The goal of this encounter is to move the light and dark planets so that one side is all light and one side is all dark. Then, grabbing three planets and taking them to the middle for a damage phase.
- 1 − Defeat Honored Centurions to spawn Terrestrial Lieutenants, and defeating them grants Planetary Insight.
- 2 − Guardians must call out the odd one-out planets and take them to the opposite side of the room. (left all Light, right all Darkness)
- 3− Defeat enemies, defeat Lieutenants, and call out three planet colours in the middle.
- 4 − Collect planets and deposit them into the correct positions.
- 5 − Deal damage to the boss while standing below planets that correspond to its shield.
Key Mechanics
- Planetary Insight: Ability to see the planet’s colour, either Light or Darkness.
- Acquired by defeating Terrestrial Lieutenants.
- Planetary Attunement/Alignment: On-screen text when standing below a planet.
- Attunement is when grabbing a planet.
- Alignment is when you’re delivering a planet.
- Planetary Affinity: Holding a planet as you take it to another location.
- Planetary Shift: The time you have to place a planet in another location.
- Field of Light / Flux of Darkness: A 7-second buff that grants bonus damage to the boss.
- Acquired by standing below the planets.
- Shard: Shoot to speed up the processes of the encounter.
- If all planets are inserted, shoot it to move to the indexing phase.
- If you miss a planet, shoot it to move to the Centurion/Lieutenant phase.
Nezarec, Final God of Pain
General Information
- The objective of the final encounter is to create two connections of nodes, one full connection on the left and one on the right.
- This is the Field of Light and Flux of Darkness nodes as seen in the first two encounters.
- Once both are made, a damage phase will begin!
- Note that when players are attempting to establish the connection of nodes, Nezarec must be stunned by shooting his chest; if players fail to stun him, he will perform a team wipe.
- For this encounter, it is recommended to have the following tasks sorted by the team:
- One player establishing the Field of Light connection
- One player establishing the Flux of Darkness connection
- Two or Three players on add-clearing duty
- One or Two players focusing on Nezarec’s weak points (shooting his chest) and also clear any adds when possible.
Key Mechanics
- Field of Light / Flux of Darkness: A 15 seconds buff that allows a player to activate the next node.
- Buff is acquired by standing within the glowing aura and shooting the node.
- Shooting the next node in the sequence consumes this buff.
- Disruption: Players lose the Field of Light buff and must recollect it.
- This occurs when the aura node is activated if the next node has not been activated and someone has the buff outside of the aura.
- Refuge: As you continue to do damage phases, the window of opportunity to stun Nezarec becomes shorter and shorter.
- At this point, players will establish a Refuge, which can be done by keeping an eye on the colour of Nezarec’s shoulder when stunned:
- If dark, you need a Darkness’s Refuge; take a Field of Light buff to a Flux of Darkness node.
- If light, you need a Light’s Refuge; take a Flux of Darkness buff to a Field of Light node.
- Doing so will create a safety zone that emits an aura that lasts for 15 seconds which will protect you from Nezarec’s wipe mechanic.
- Note that this aura doesn’t protect you from attacks!
- At this point, players will establish a Refuge, which can be done by keeping an eye on the colour of Nezarec’s shoulder when stunned:
- Final Stand: Once you get Nezarec’s health down to near diminished, Nezarec will go into the Final Stand.
- At this point, the only objective is to unleash everything you have on Nezarec until he’s destroyed.
Raid Loot
