## Raids

Raids are all located in the Celestial Throne, which is the floating castle above Skysong Summit.

### Unlocking Raids

* to unlock the first raid you must first unlock all of the above instanced dungeons
* once you have unlocked the dungeons, you must also complete the titan kill quest for each
	+ Forsaken Reliquary: Kill the Titan
	+ Seething Depths: Kill the Titan
	+ Vault of the Ancients: Kill the Titan
* This will allow you to accept Infernal Core: Defeat Vulkane from Surveyor at the top of the Celestial Throne which unlocks the first raid in the Infernal Core

### The Climb

* does not require completing any dungeon attunement quests
* requires level 20 (approximately the level you'll be when you reach Skysong Summit, where the base is)
* Mika in the Nexus District gives a breadcrumb quest to meet the Surveyor
	+ But How Does It Float? (this quest is entirely optional)
* accept Castle in the Sky from the Surveyor beneath the Celestial Throne in Skysong Summit and make your way to the top (there is a single checkpoint partway up)
	+ Although not strictly required to unlock the first raid, it is strongly recommended that you complete Castle in the Sky to unlock the fast travel point on the Celestial Throne; if you don't you will have to redo the climb any time you want to hand in raid quests to the surveyor

#### note on raids

* Requires a full party of **8 players** in order to enter
* all nominally located within the Celestial Throne (but can only be reached via matchmaking)
* to unlock more raids you must complete certain quests which take place in your currently unlocked raids

### Infernal Core

“The heart that keeps the Celestial Throne afloat - the Infernal Core feels like a living organism. Fiery vents blast out superheated flames that forge the weapons used by Sidion's machine of war, all under the watchful glare of the Forgemaster Vulkane...”

— official website
* Rank one requires an average item Level of 42 to queue (view item level in your stats window)

### Pillar of the Architect

“A testament of Zenithean engineering, this impressive technical construct is now in a state of disrepair. Its crew of robotic workers have long since succumbed to corruption of their AI, becoming something much more lethal than their programming intended.”

— official website

### Defiled Gardens

“Once a lush oasis in the center of the Celestial Throne, this horticultural facility has become overgrown, and twisted elemental creatures now roam its halls.”

— official website
