Overview
The encounter begins with the Fallen Avatar immobile, trapped in titan machinery, accompanied by the corrupted Maiden of Valor. While assaulting the raid, the Avatar periodically attempts to draw energy from Containment Pylons around the room. The Maiden of Valor will absorb this energy if she is positioned to intercept it. Once allowed to reach 100 Energy, the Fallen Avatar shatters the floor, becoming fully mobile and dropping players into the chamber below. The raid must then defeat the Fallen Avatar quickly, before [Rupture Realities] completely destroys the platform upon which they stand.
