Visionary of Glory

Upon zoning in you are met with Pixtt Assault Ward just behind the first door. This ixt hits for nearly 3k, flurries, single target rampage, standard ixt abilities, but not a lot of health. Once it is dead move to the first hallway where you'll need to kill 3 Visionary of Glory, one in the first room to the west and two more in the cubby areas of the first room to the east. These trusiks can be done one at a time. Each of them quad for 2500 and are immune to slow. At 50% and 10% they will "infuriate", which means they gain AE rampage for a short time.

Each will drop a Runed Glyph: Aktek, Fexika, and Niliktek. One of them will drop one of the following:

Have the same person loot all three Glyphs. Defeating these will set your lockout timer to 12 hours.

 

Sentinel of Glorification

After the visionaries clear your way south and then down the hall to the west. Here you'll find Pixtt Condemner, an untethered aneuk that hits for near 3k, casts Cleric spells, and Silence of the Shadows, an 80 range AE silence that lasts 12 seconds. The Condemner drops Faded-Glyph Tablet. Have the person that looted the glyphs loot this and combine the three to make Axtekilitek. This acts as a key to unlock the door.

At the southwest corner of the room you'll find Sentinel of Glorification. This golem hits for around 3k, procs Strike of Glory, a feign death on tank, and casts Fling, an AE flux. It drops Runed Glyph: Kruxek and one of the following:

Defeating this will set your lockout timer to 24 hours.

 

Guardian of Glorification

Have your looter combine the Axtekilitek with the Kruxek glyph to get Kruxilitek. This will unlock the next door. Clear your way north and take the passage west to find the Guardian of Glorification. It starts as inactive, when ready give the Kruxilitek to it to start the fight.

In the first form the Guardian is rooted in place, can hit for over 3500, procs Throw, a 3k dd with flux on the tank, casts both Fling, an AE flux, and Manabolt , a single target 1500 point mana drain. While facing the guardian a number of enthralled listeners around the room will be casting Fling as well. When you get the Custodian down to 50% health it splits into two.

The two new versions hit for 3000 with the same abiilities and are not rooted, but they do tether to the room. The raid can leave the room and recover before going after them if needed. Additionally a number of Glorified Bolsterers will spawn, these will peiodically buff the Guardians increasing their damage and resists. The Bosterers can be killed if you choose, they don't fight back, but it is generally not worth the effort. Each of the guardians will split once more at 50% health, resulting in 4 Guardians which hit for about 2000 and have the same abilities.

Each of the final four drop one of the following:

A pile of bones will spawn with 4 Artifact of Glorification, needed for progression.

Completing the raid sets your lockout timer to 96 hours.
