Dissipation

Dissipation is a private area of The Pale Heart that is reached through the Salvation's Edge raid. It connects to Substratum and the Warren, and it is held by Taken forces of the Dread. It debuted with The Final Shape in June 2024.

Encounter

Dissipation is the second encounter of Salvation's Edge, where the Guardians fight the Herald of Finality. The fight uses two Resonance shapes, Pyramidal and Spherical. Plates spawn shapes that you deposit into a box to extend the encounter timer, and the last shape you collect sets your stack to that shape. Trammel minibosses appear on each side, and the first Trammel defeated causes the Herald to summon a small group of players, who receive the Call to Reckoning buff and become the only players who can damage the boss.

Damage phase

Damage is dealt to the boss's head, which is exposed once the Blights are destroyed. Shooting the Herald in the head grants the Stolen Favor buff. When the boss reaches its last health chunk the damage phase extends, and Taken enemies spawn during the final stand. Players should have enough encounter timer left before starting a damage phase.
