"The Anti-Monitor has our two worlds colliding -- creating some kind of parallel reality between us and the Anti-Matter universe. It's destroying Metropolis with Centennial Park as ground zero! I'm going to need to bring in the big guns." — Oracle

"Oh, joy. We get to play with the goody two-shoes again. Oracle, don't get in my way." — Calculator

"Not exactly thrilled about working with you either, buddy, but desperate times call for really...really desperate measures. Gang -- join the Flash, Zoom, and the others to kick some Anti-Monitor butt." — Oracle

Walkthrough[]

The whole raid is structured into four phases.

The raid group should have at least one Healer and one Controller. A Tank is not a must, but can be helpful in phase three.

It is advisable to bring Qwa-Bombs and Exobyte Interference Shields into the raid, since those will speed up the completion time considerably.

It is possible to complete this raid in five minutes counted from the time the players enter the fighting area.

Phase 1

In phase 1 nine anti-matter shards will appear. Those must be destroyed. Qwa-Bombs help a lot here since each bomb takes away 40% of the current health of the shards. With four to five bombs a shard can be destroyed pretty quickly. The next shard will always appear when the current shard is down to about 30%-40% (?) health.

Adds can pretty much be ignored as they surround the shards and will go down as a side effect from attacking the shards. All players should always attack the shards. If the group is good enough, splitting into smaller groups can further speed up things.

Phase 2

Attack the Anti-Monitor. The boss is in the center of the map and has some pink AOE areas around him. Avoid those areas as you will be levitated into the air and lose valuable time. It is advisable to use Exobyte Interference Shields when players are surrounded with small black anti-matter spheres to avoid additional anti-matter effects like being pushed around etc.

When the Anti-Monitor has lost about two third of his health phase three starts.

Phase 3

Shadow Demons and Shadowlings will start to appear all around the Anti-Monitor from spawn points indicated by small black anti-matter spheres. Everytime one of those dark creatures reaches the Anti-Monitor, he will grow stronger. The goal is to defeat 20 of those black shadow creatures.

A good strategy is to form a circle around the Anti-Monitor. The shadow creatures will stop walking towards the Anti-Monitor after a bit of damage-in. Qwa-Bombs will work fine here, but crowd control effects will also work. Avoid the pink AOE areas the boss does lay out and ignore all other adds which still might be around.

After 20 Shadow Demons or Shadowlings have been defeated, the final phase begins.

Phase 4

Attack the Anti-Monitor again. This time he can be defeated and the raid ends with the Anti-Monitor giving a short speech.

Trivia[]

In 2017 in contrast to common raids, this instance could be done daily and the reset cost was merely 29 Replay Badges instead of the usual 87 for raids. This basically made it an 8 player alert. This was changed into the usual setup for raids for the 2018 event.
In the instance every player is buffed to the future combat rating of 330. In 2018 it has been 280, in 2017 230.
Starting from 2020, the story of Centennial Collapse has been changed, with the Anti-Monitor referencing the Source Wall being broken in Metal Pt. II: Into the Dark Multiverse (released 2019) and simply retreating when his health is depleted rather than Flash and Zoom finishing him off.
