Planets
- Majority of the team. 1 Guardian per plate with planets.
- Agree on numbering of planets. Generally, it's 1-3 on the plate closest to the Rally Flag and 4-6 on the plates farthest back.

- 2 members of the team. You focus on the Psions, Phalanx and everything else EXCEPT the Terrestrial Lieutenant.
Loadout[edit]
- Divinity plus Thunderlord allows for a non-stop torrent of damage if possible.
- You want either: Minor Spec on your Primary, Major Spec on your Energy weapon, and Boss Spece on your Power weapon.
Walkthrough[edit]
Triggering the Damage Phase[edit]
- The Planets team needs to focus on finding and killing Honored Centurions that will be appearing throughout the area.
- This will cause a Terrestrial Lieutenant (Colossus) to appear that you need to kill as well.
- Killing the Terrestrial Lieutenant will grant that Guardian Planetary Insight.
- Call out to your partner what planet you have to move and listen which one they are moving.
- Go to the planet you can see and interact with it's Planetary Attunement.
- After that, rush over to the opposite plate and activate Planetary Attunement' again to slot in the Planet you needed to move.
- When the planets are properly aligned, you will get the message, "The Indexed planets reveal themselves."
- At this point, those with Planetary Insight will see that there are now planets in the middle of the area.
- The Planets team now needs to grab corresponding Light and Dark Planets, and align them with the ones in the center of the room.
Damage Phase[edit]
- With the planets properly aligned, you're ready for damage against Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets.
- Look to the boss and see if he is glowing either Orange or White.
- If he is glowing Orange, head to any plate with a Dark Planet above it to start the damage phase.
- You do not need to stay on the plate to damage the boss since you will get either buff: Flux of Darkness or Field of Light.
- After a short time, you will get the message "The Explicator shifts focus".
- This is the party's signal to reassess the color of the boss and move to the next plate to continue the damage phase.
- Repeat this across the 3 plates as his color shifts.
- After that third plate, everyone breaks away and returns to their previous roles.
Final Stand[edit]
- When you get Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets to the last 8th of his health, it's time for final stand.
- If you want to keep shooting, you better have a primary with unlimited ammo to use.
- Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets is temporarily invulnerable for a short time.
- However, once you can damage him again, rush to a plate (center is generally favored) and unload everything.
- Holding back can result in death here, so leave it all out there.
