  • Phase Two: Left and right Confluxes
  • Phase Iii: Left, middle, and right Confluxes

These information cubes are fairly tanky, so you'll want to bring a weapon that deals good single-target damage like Xenophage or a Sniper Rifle.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Oracle Spawns Map
Via: Destiny Raider

In that location are 7 spawn locations for Oracles: iii on the left side, three on the right, and one about the middle. Almost players refer to the Oracles as "Left 1," "Right Two," or "Right Three." Some players volition telephone call the tertiary Oracle for a given side "Night," referencing its location in a dark corner of the room. The central Oracle is usually referred to as "Mid" or "Middle."

When the encounter begins, yous'll hear 3 distinct chimes, each chime denoting an Oracle spawn. Each Oracle does have a unique audio pitch, so those with acute hearing can decide an Oracle's spawn location off sound lone. The Oracle chinkle plays twice. After it plays for the second time, you will have a brusk timeframe to destroy every Oracle that spawned.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Oracle

Designate each role player to cover one Oracle spawn. The people covering L1 and R1 can destroy the middle Oracle if it spawns. Have each person state the social club that their Oracle spawned in. Each role player will so destroy their Oracle when it's their plow.

Hither's an example stage:

Oracle Chime: L3, R2, Mid

  1. L3 player says, "One."
  2. R2 player says, "Ii."
  3. The L1 or R1 actor volition state "3," as these players volition cover for the middle Oracle.
  4. L3 shoots their Oracle, and so says "One" to signal to the R2 player that they can shoot.
  5. R2 shoots their Oracle, and then says, "Two."
  6. The third player destroys the centre Oracle.
  7. Players wait for the adjacent Oracle sequence to brainstorm.

Should yous fail to destroy your Oracle, anybody will get Marked for Negation. You'll need to immediately run towards the Vex plate at the middle of the arena and have everyone cleanse simultaneously. If you neglect an Oracle wave, the verbal same sequence volition play again after.

At that place are five waves of Oracles that spawn during this encounter. The first wave volition spawn iii Oracles, with subsequent waves adding one new Oracle to the sequence. The final wave volition have seven Oracles. You don't get extra fourth dimension for destroying more Oracles, then y'all'll demand to human action fast towards the end.

Note: Warmind Cells destroy Oracles. Exist conscientious when using them.

Across the Oracle mechanic, the only other notable part of this encounter is the sheer number of Hobgoblins that spawn. These Hobgoblins will spawn on the outskirts of each side. Players that aren't currently handling an Oracle should direct their attending towards destroying these Hobgoblins.

To start this run into, ane player volition need to grab the relic at the center of the negation pool. This is known as the Custodianship. Go used to this shield, as it'll exist used in every main see for the rest of the raid. Dedicate one person to be your Aegis user. You'll demand the Aegis to remove the Templar'south impenetrable shield.

Destiny Vault of Glass Aegis Shield

The Aegis tin do a few things:

  • Attack: Y'all accept low-cal and heavy attacks, like to a Sword. Heavy attacking mid-air volition cause you to slam the ground. You tin can attack as much as yous want with the Aegis.
  • Cake: Hold the baby-sit central to project an free energy dome effectually yourself, protecting allies from harm.
  • Super: Burn down a projectile of pure free energy from your shield, capable of destroying the Templar's shield.

Aegis User

The Aegis histrion'south task is to destroy the Templar'southward shield and to forestall information technology from teleporting. When you first catch the shield, endeavour to melee Vex enemies effectually the loonshit. This will grant Super energy.

When your team is set up, use your Super ability on the Templar. This will remove its shield, allowing your team to damage the dominate. Periodically, the Templar will mark a location in the area that it'll teleport to. You'll demand to stand up in the teleport spot to interrupt the Templar, extending your team'southward DPS phase. Should the Templar focus yous, concur the guard button to absorb its onslaught of attacks.

Everyone Else

The residual of the squad volition need to bargain with the first set of Oracles while the Custodianship user is preparing their Super. A prepare of three Oracles volition spawn near the start of the run into. Use the same strategy from the last encounter to pause them.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Templar DPS Prep

When the Oracles are destroyed, have every non-Aegis player meet up near the middle Conflux. The Aegis player will lower the Templar'due south shield, giving you a damage window. Deploy a Ward of Dawn, Well of Radiance, and use your Supers to impairment the dominate. If your unabridged fireteam is using double slug Shotguns and Anarchy, yous can kill Templar before the second set of Oracles spawn.

If your team lacks those things, then exercise your best to impairment the dominate while your Aegis role player blocks its teleports. Blocking teleports will cause more enemies to spawn in the arena, so designating one thespian to clear them out isn't a bad idea. When things get too chaotic to handle or Oracles spawn, have the Custodianship role player permit the Templar to teleport. This will redeploy its shield, giving your team a breather. Break the Oracles, lower the shield, and so repeat the process.

Note: One random player volition gain the "Imminent Detain" debuff once the Templar's shield breaks. You have five seconds to reposition earlier yous become encased in a dome. A fireteam member volition need to break you out by shooting the dome.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Gorgon's Labyrinth Exit

The exit tin can exist establish beside a massive rock bulging out of the footing at a steep angle. Jump off the rock and run towards the lit cave to find the escape tunnel.

If y'all played Vault of Glass in the original Destiny, the Gorgons take the aforementioned path in Destiny 2. You can articulate the maze with the same path as before, climbing upwardly the inclined rocks around the arena to get around the Harpies.

Jumping Puzzle

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Jumping Puzzle

Outside of the labyrinth is a uncomplicated jumping puzzle. Platforms will phase in and out of existence during this part. You'll need to jump onto a platform right as it spawns, so await for a new platform to materialize. Follow the platforms to reach the bottom.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Gorgon's Labyrinth Cube

There are three floating Vex cubes in the maze. Yous'll need to destroy all three of them to open a hidden door. Yous can observe the door at the eastern end of the maze out of spawn. If you lot played VoG in Destiny 1, it's where the 2d hidden breast used to exist.

Before you can face Atheon, you'll need to destroy the Vex inside his throne and defeat Vex beyond multiple planets. You lot read that right: this run across asks yous to spring between planets to defend Confluxes.

Offset the encounter past killing the Vex inside the throne room. They'll be a Gatekeeper Hydra at the heart of the loonshit. One time it's dead, you'll hear a distinct horn, signaling that you can now open the portals that lead you to different planets. The Gatekeeper also drops an Aegis shield. Have one player grab the Aegis.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Venus Portal

There are ii portals in this loonshit, 1 on each side. To open up them, i player must stand up in the Vex gate directly across from the portal. There's a colonnade in the middle of each of them, so they're hard to miss. When you run into the message "A Vex Timegate is active," the portals are ready to go. Assign two players to go through the portal, ane for each side. Make sure the Aegis player doesn't become through the portal initially. The remaining four players will be dissever between defending the throne room and jumping into the portal equally needed.

Portal Players

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Portal

Those that enter the portal volition spawn at i of two planets: Mars or Venus. Mars is the left portal, and Venus is the correct portal.

Upon inbound the arena, yous'll need to defend a cardinal Conflux against waves of Vex—similar to the second come across. Eventually, one side will have a Minotaur spawn that has an allowed shield. To suspension this shield, you must damage the Minotaur with the Custodianship.

If your side gets a Wyvern, simply impale it. If y'all spawn at the side with a Minotaur, phone call out which planet or side you're on. The Aegis player will then enter the portal and destroy the Minotaur for you. Nonetheless, the Aegis histrion that enters will be afflicted with the "Teleport Destabilized" debuff, preventing them from using a portal for the next 45 seconds.

Because of this, the Aegis user that enters must drop their Aegis after killing a Minotaur. The 2nd role player in the portal room will grab the Custodianship, then laissez passer it to some other role player in the throne room. That actor and so enters the second portal (whichever one didn't have the Custodianship terminal) to aid. This process repeats 6 times, with each side alternating Minotaur spawns.

That process sounds somewhat confusing, so permit's give an example of how a cycle would work:

  1. Thespian A and B enter Mars and Venus, respectively.
  2. Actor A has a Minotaur. They phone call out "Minotaur on Mars."
  3. The Aegis role player (Actor C) enters the Mars portal and destroys the Minotaur. Since they're debuffed, they drop the Aegis.
  4. Thespian A grabs the Custodianship and leaves to the throne room. Player A is at present debuffed.
  5. Thespian D isn't debuffed and in the throne room, so they'll have player A'south Aegis.
  6. Player D heads to Venus to aid thespian B, as Venus will have a Minotaur spawn next.
  7. Player D kills the Minotaur, then thespian B grabs the Aegis and leaves.

If it makes it easier, you lot can assign 4 players to this office. The Teleport Destabilized debuff will elapse by the time the fourth histrion gets debuffed, leaving ii players to defend the throne room.

Throne Players

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Throne

Throne Guardians have 2 jobs:

  1. Defend the portal plates from incoming Vex.
  2. Grab the Aegis and aid a portal player when needed.

The first chore is fairly simple: prevent the Vex from disabling a portal plate. Vex will trickle into the arena in waves, attempting to bear upon the plate that activates a portal. If they touch it, the portal will close, meaning you'll need to reopen it. Overload Minotaurs volition also spawn presently after a wave of Vex spawn, spawning at the southern end of the room. Stun them with Overload Rounds before killing one.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Gatekeeper

Gatekeepers will also spawn near the center of the arena on occasion. These enemies disable both portals while they're alive, so be sure to kill them as before long as they spawn.

Portal players that bring the Custodianship to the throne room will demand someone to grab the relic. If you don't take the "Teleport Destabilized" debuff, grab the Aegis off of them and assist the side they tell you (opposite of where they came from). You'll then get a portal player for a cycle. This cycle will happen six times before the concluding phase begins.

Last Phase

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Gatekeeper Final Phase

Once enough Minotaurs have been defeated, a Conflux will spawn at the center of the throne room. Every player must head to the throne Conflux, Custodianship histrion included.

Your team will be attacked from three sides: the left portal, the correct portal, and the staircase leading to the glass throne. Wyverns and Minotaurs will periodically spawn, attempting to assimilate with the Conflux. If one of them succeeds, your fireteam wipes. Take the Aegis role player focus on the Minotaurs and two or three players focus on the Wyverns. Survive the Vex assault to complete the encounter.

Atheon volition spawn at the heart of the throne room when you starting time the encounter. This boss moves around a lot and wants null more than to impale you lot. Stick to cover whenever possible when y'all're in the throne room.

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Atheon Harpies

Harpies will spawn in droves a few seconds after the meet starts. A wave will spawn behind Atheon, i spawns mid-air to the left of the throne, and another mid-air wave spawns to the right. Clearing an entire moving ridge of them volition spawn another group soon after, and there doesn't seem to exist a limit on how ofttimes this can occur. These enemies spawn rather far from yous, so consider using a Lookout or Pulse Rifle against them.

Pro Tip: Get out one Harpy alive from each group. Additional waves cannot spawn until every enemy from the electric current group is destroyed.

Subsequently around a infinitesimal, two messages volition display:

  • "Atheon opens the timestreams."
  • "Atheon sends forth the Supplicants."

The first message means that 3 players, called at random, will be teleported to a random planet (Venus or Mars, like the final encounter). For the three players yet in the throne room, they'll have to deal with suicide Harpies named Supplicants.

Throne Team

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Atheon Throne Oracles

Those that stayed in the throne room will take 3 jobs:

  1. Open up a portal to the planet the other 3 players are stuck at.
  2. Defeat Harpies and Supplicants.
  3. Tell the portal squad which Oracles to shoot.

Whenever the portal team leaves, they'll demand to tell you which planet they're on. One member of the throne team will need to stand on the right plate to open up a portal, allowing that squad to escape when they're washed destroying Oracles. Harpies and Supplicants don't disrupt the portal, so you tin leave the plate once the portal is active.

Atheon will create iii Oracles in a sequence. The throne team must state the position of each Oracle. This gets catchy because the Oracles are located in odd spots that require both teams to be using the same reference betoken, else you'll go inverted callouts. We'll encompass this in more detail when we encompass what the portal team does.

Background via Destiny Raider

Writer's Note: This is an image I made to give a rough idea of where the Oracles spawn. The locations aren't 1:one in-game. Credit to Destiny Raider for the Atheon arena background.

Stand at the back of the throne room, the same location you spawn from. Call out the order that y'all come across the Oracles, using either numbers or locational callouts to describe what you're seeing.

Y'all'll need to echo this procedure 3 times. Later the portal team destroys three sets of Oracles, the basis squad volition meet up with the portal squad near the eye of the arena to damage Atheon.

Before nosotros talk over what the portal team does, it'due south of import to mention that Supplicants instantly kill you if they detonate abreast your Guardian. Keep them at artillery-length at all costs. Yous can stand on platforms above the Supplicants to foreclose them from exploding. The pillars in each Vex plate are safety, so are the ledges about spawn.

Portal Squad

Destiny 2 Vault of Glass Atheon Mars Aegis

Three random players will be teleported to either Mars or Venus. An Custodianship relic will spawn about your team. Have one histrion grab the Custodianship, and be certain to tell the throne team which planet y'all're on so they tin can bail you out.
