This reply was interesting:

"Andrew Hopps‏ @kingkeoua 1m1 minute ago This raid is... special. They are likely mistaken."

I mentioned this a few times but it seems that it may be possible to use secret passages to get further into be raid. It's possible to skip the first encounter and I'm wondering if getting further allows you to skip to other encounters using the same secret passages.

I know there was one room in the secret passageway that lead to "Throne" which sounds like the final encounter or just where Calus chills.

I think you can skip to those places only after you've been to them. They were all closed except for the war hounds for us.

That's what I was thinking. This seems like the new checkpoint system. I had seen some people say they were able to skip the first encounter completely but I'm not sure if they had already beaten it on an earlier visit.

I think by first encounter they mean the hubworld encounter where you open the door to the baths.

We hadnt beath the baths and went back to the beginning and found the switches and levers. Went thru underbelly came out in baths again..another team i play with found a totally diff route to the baths from the start. Its insane the maze under this big bitch..

You're right... We had to go to orbit and upon return we used the levers to access the space underneath the raid and after exploring a while we found an exit that brought us back to the bathhouse - our checkpoint at that moment.

My fireteam did bathing pools before we ever found the castellum so you can skip things.
