Walkthrough[edit]

Mechanics[edit]

Map of mechanics and spawning locations

If Zojja dies, the instance will fail and all players will be returned to The Wizard's Tower.
When Kryptis are defeated, they drop Kryptis Essence on the ground. This essence then can be collected by running over it. The more essence you pick up, the more damage you do, but the less total health you have. You can carry up to 25 stacks at a time without the Essence Attunement Mastery, or up to 50 stacks with the Mastery. Going into a Downed state will cause you to drop all stacks of essence that can be picked up by others or by yourself, once you're up again.
Turning in essence to Zojja heals her, and powers her Resurrection Spell, that resurrects your allies who died and were turned into wisps.
Once the final phase begins and the Legendary Kryptis spawns, Zojja becomes immune to all forms of standard healing, and can be healed with essence.
Kryptis siege engines will occasionally spawn in the four corners of the map. Destroy these to prevent them damaging Zojja.
If a player joins a Convergence instance that has already started, they will spawn as a wisp awaiting the completion of the current resurrection spell bar.
If a player dies, they will enter Wisp Form with the special skills below. Some abilities are only available with certain masteries unlocked. These players are invulnerable and may heal, buff, or revive downed players. With the Wisp Pockets Mastery, they will be able to collect Kryptis Essence and bring it to Zojja, speeding up their own resurrection. They can hit their jump keybind to move around more easily.

Phase 1: Start[edit]

The group initially spawns in a central starting island where Zojja will ask to confirm if they are ready. Once the event starts, small groups of typical Kryptis enemies will spawn. Concurrently, 2-minute timer will begin for Kryptis reinforcements to arrive.

After a brief introduction on Kryptis Essence, groups of Avatar of Spite will begin to spawn on the central island in an anti-clockwise direction from northwest, southeast and northeast of the central island. These Avatar of Spite chase Zojja to apply their explosion mechanic (they turn invulnerable as they begin exploding). Breaking their defiance bar will stop them in their tracks temporarily for you to burst them down. In addition, siege engines will also spawn in a clockwise direction on the other 4 corner islands of the map starting from the southwest island and should be destroyed to protect Zojja. Their seige attacks can be seen as darker orange circles within Zojja's hitbox. The Kryptis enemies that spawn around the seige engines despawn together with them being taken down. Both anti-clockwise and clockwise spawns continue throughout phase 1 and 2.

Once the 2-minute timer ends, the reinforcements are 3 Kryptis Champion Avatars to be slain in order to progress to phase 2.

Zojja is also able to be healed by most spells and abilities affecting friendly targets. In addition to the healing she receives from turning-in essences, it is good to have dedicated healers remain nearby Zojja to keep her alive during phases 1 and 2.

Phase 2: Clear Islands[edit]

The objectives to defend Zojja from Avatars of Spite and siege engines from phase 1 continues. The Avatars of Spite on the central island will now begin spawning in an anti-clockwise direction while Seige Engines continue their occasional clockwise spawns. Like in the previous phase, Zojja can still be healed normally during this phase, so having healers prioritize her defense remains important.

All four corner islands of the map will now need to be cleared. 5 Champion Kryptis Lieutenants will spawn on each of the islands followed by a Champion Kryptis General. Defeating each Champion Kryptis General will clear each island individually. Both lieutenants and generals have random Unstable Magic Abilities abilities. When a specific island is cleared of its Champion Kryptis General, the seige engine on that island will also stop its spawn. After all four islands are cleared, phases 1 and 2 are fully completed.

Phase 3 then begins with a legendary creature spawning on one of the 4 corner islands. The party/players who were responsible for the central island defense/healing of Zojja should also remember to completely destroy the last batch of Avatars of Spite or they will continue chasing to where Zojja teleported (Legendary Creature spawn) to and explode on her.

Phase 3: Legendary Creature[edit]

A Legendary creature (Demon Knight, Sorrow, Dreadwing (NPC) or Hell Sister) will now spawn. The creature chosen is random per instance, though the available options alternate each week at Tuesday 00:00^{[verification requested]}; only Sorrow and Demon Knight are available one week, and only Dreadwing and Hell Sister are available the following week.

Shared Mechanics[edit]

The Legendary creature scatters Kryptis Essence around itself every time it loses 10% health and just before it teleports to the next random island at every 25% health interval. In addition, Zojja now becomes immune to all forms of healing except turned-in Kryptis Essence so it is especially important to continue doing so in order to heal her and charge up her resurrection spell. She also takes more damage now.

At its final 25% health, the Legendary Creature always teleports to the central island (starting area).

Demon Knight[edit]

Demon Knight is the easier legendary to deal with. Its most dangerous attack has a charge up animation; at this point it needs to be stunned to stop this attack. While it charges the attack, it also deals a massive amount of damage to the surrounding area. His second dangerous attack is a meteor shower. Players will be marked with numerical icons and have a yellowish aura around their computer screens. These players should move away from the group. After a short period, a meteor shot will then shoot down on the area following the numerical numbers, with another shot shortly after. It is preferable to NOT move towards Zojja when marked.

Bug:

One of the attacks that pulls the player away can also pull the player inside a stone or behind a texture making them stuck for the rest of the fight. Teleports do not work and you cannot /gg either.

Sorrow[edit]

Sorrow is the harder enemy. The best way to deal with this enemy is to stun it while it has a defiance bar up, giving you a lot more free time to kill it without it flying around. Be careful when it spawns its Sorrow's Brood as these little wyverns like to focus Zojja. A preferable and safer way to deal with this legendary creature is to chase its rear and continue attacking. When Sorrow flies up to spawn more brood be careful because at the end it will fall back down pretty much killing everyone under it. You can also use your Gliding skills when you are kicked up into the sky.

Dialogue[edit]

Pre-Event start: Zojja: Portaled in as soon as we lost track of your astral fluctuation. I'll need to focus on maintaining our tether to Tyria.; Zojja: The nearest waypoint is a little out of range, so reviving will be a challenge... Luckily, Mabon taught me a few tricks.; Zojja: Resurrection spells take a lot of magic. The best source of that here is going to be the essence that Eparch's grunts drop.; Zojja: Bring that essence to me, and I'll do the rest.; Zojja: If it looks like I'm about to go down, I'll try to pull us back to Tyria. Hopefully we'll make it back in time for tea...

Upon catapults spawning: Zojja: Little hard to concentrate with catapults lobbing stones at my face! Deal with them!

When enough essence has been collected to revive allies: Zojja: Reviving our fallen!; Zojja: Let me raise you up! Feel the healing energies flow through your veins–rise!

High Kyptis event: Zojja: I can feel the demonic essence in those High Kyptis. Take them down, and I can throw that power back in their face.; Zojja: Collect enough, and I might even be able to cast some additional protections...; Zojja: Be careful though. Demonic essence will drain your life force. Plus, there is the whole "possession" thing to worry about...

Event to slay Generals: Zojja: Even more of Eparch's personal cortege. Take them out. Let's see if we can entice their leader to make an entrance.

OR

Zojja: More High Kryptis! Damn it, Eparch. Spread out to defeat them! Maybe we can lure out whoever's pulling their strings.

Upon the boss losing 25% health: Zojja: We've wounded it! Keep up with it, and I'll use that essence to give us a little extra juice.; Zojja: Move! Move! MOVE!

Event to slay the final boss: Zojja: It's making its way to the center island. We can end this here and now!

Upon successful completion of the Convergence: Zojja: Finally... Whew. Nayos is not my scene. Let's head back; breathe in some fresh air?

The Convergence has been calmed, and Zojja will teleport the group back to the Wizard's Tower soon.

Upon failing to complete the Convergence: Zojja: I... can't hold on. No choice-I'm pulling us back to Tyria!
