Salvation's Edge Raid Challenges: My Hilarious Guide to Conquering the Witness in 2025

Alright Guardians, strap in because I've been grinding Salvation's Edge more than my morning coffee ritual, and let me tell ya—these challenges are a wild ride! 🤯 As of 2025, nothing’s changed: you've still got ten Triumphs dangling like a carrot for that sweet Euphony exotic and the bragging rights of the Iconoclast title. Five are permanent fixtures, while the other five rotate weekly like a dodgy nightclub playlist. Easy? Nah, but with my snarky wisdom, you’ll be breezing through 'em faster than a Cabal dropship on fire. Let’s dive in!

Scenic Route

Encounter	Substratum
Challenge	First team ignores their Overload Champ; second team must merc theirs
Weekly?	Heck yeah

Picture this: You're in Substratum, hyped to smash some Champions, but hold up! The first squad getting an Overload must ghost it like a bad Tinder date. Kill the Hydra instead to unlock the next room. Then, the second squad waltzes in and demolishes their Overload. Mess this up? Back to orbit, baby! Pro tip: Repeat this dance till the Tormentor bites the dust. People Also Ask: Is this the most annoying challenge? Oh honey, it’s like herding cats—frustrating but doable with a mic!

Touch And Go

Encounter	Substratum
Challenge	Everyone grabs 1 Resonance stack before doubling up
Weekly?	Nope

Communication is key here, folks—no grabbing extra Resonance stacks till everyone has one. Plate runners stick to their corners, while flex players raid the center like it’s Black Friday. Once all six of you are rocking x1, go ham for x2. Easy peasy lemon squeezy? Not if Dave keeps hogging the buffs! 🤦‍♂️

At Capacity

Encounter	Dissipation
Challenge	Deposit exactly x3 Resonance into the box
Weekly?	Yup

This one’s simple: Dunk only x3 Resonance or bust. Assign one player per conductor to grab a single stack while their buddy hoards max. Boom—three players with max stacks, giving you that sweet 150-second DPS window. Fail? Well, GG go next.

Changing Tactics

Encounter	Dissipation
Challenge	Grab Resonance from a different wing before locking conductors
Weekly?	Nada

Time for a field trip! Before locking a conductor, snag Resonance from another wing—like grabbing tacos when you’re supposed to be dieting. Use the "fail charge" trick: Pass signals four times to spawn a major, then rotate clockwise. Left ➔ Right, Right ➔ Bottom, Bottom ➔ Left. Chaos? Maybe. Fun? Absolutely!

Balanced Diet

Encounter	Repository
Challenge	Don’t grab the same symbol twice in a row
Weekly?	Affirmative

Variety is the spice of life! Can’t grab the same symbol consecutively, even between rooms. Start with square, then circle, then triangle if your conductor needs it. People Also Ask: What if I forget my last symbol? Bruh, write it down—your Ghost ain’t gonna remember for you! 🧠

Singular Torment

Encounter	Repository
Challenge	Only one player kills Tormentors
Weekly?	Negative

Designate a Tormentor slayer (me with Forerunner, obviously). Others can chip in, but only that MVP lands the final blow. Bonus: Your slayer calls conductor symbols since they’re the only one with Stolen Favor. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Varied Geometry

Encounter	Verity
Challenge	Can’t use the same 3D shapes back-to-back
Weekly?	You betcha

Round one: Prism, cylinder, cone. Round two? Switch to simple shapes—cube, sphere, pyramid—by matching 2D duplicates. Solo players, listen up: Trade the same symbol to the same player twice. Dissection teams? Aim for simple shapes in round two and pray RNGesus is kind. Updated for 2025? Still a brain teaser, but my guide’s got your back!

Equal Distribution

Encounter	Verity
Challenge	Don’t dunk at the same statue consecutively
Weekly?	Nope

This ain’t musical chairs, but close! Never dunk at the same statue twice in a row. Solo players start swaps left ➔ middle ➔ right. Dissection? Create simple shapes first and dunk non-consecutively. Scream your callouts—no one likes a silent raider! 🎤

Coordinated Efforts

Encounter	Zenith
Challenge	Break all six Glyphs simultaneously
Weekly?	Yessir

The newest kid on the block as of mid-2024, and still a blast! Once three runners get Glyphbreaker, swap roles with add clear. All six Guardians then blast the Witness' Glyphs within five seconds. Assign targets beforehand—coordination is key, or it’s wipe city! 😅

Careful Calculation

Encounter	Zenith
Challenge	Never exceed x2 Resonance stacks
Weekly?	Nah

Don’t be a greedy Guardian! Standing in telegraphs gives you Resonance debuffs—go past x2, and it’s game over. Assign limb players specific attacks, slide-tease the bracelets to reveal colors without debuffs, then annihilate 'em with a Machine Gun. Precision? You betcha!

Wrapping It Up

So there you have it, folks—Salvation’s Edge challenges decoded with maximum sass. Whether you're chasing that sweet Euphony or just wanna flex the Iconoclast title, these tips will save your bacon. People Also Ask: Are these harder than Crota’s Feather-Light? Pfft, not even close—just bring your A-game and a fireteam that doesn’t quit. Ready to own the Witness? LFG now, smash those challenges, and let’s make 2025 the year we all become legends! ✨ Eyes up, Guardian—your raid throne awaits.
