Basic Destiny Vault of Glass Raid information:• The Destiny Vault of Glass raid becomes available when you hit level 26, however you can venture in at level 25 if you think you can handle it.
• You are required to invite your own party of friends for the Vault of Glass raid. This is because the raid is too difficult to conquer with random teammates in a matchmaking type of setting.
• The Vault of Glass raid will only save your progress for a week (in-case you can’t finish the raid all at once you can come back)
• The Raid has two difficulties: Normal, and Hard. Once you beat the raid on normal you unlock the hard mode.
Destiny Vault of Glass Guide Step 1: Build the spire, and open the entrance.The door to enter the Vault of Glass raid is not wide open for anybody to wander inside, you have to fight your way to the entrance and earn your invitation to do the raid. This task comes in the form of building a “spire” that shows up in the middle of where you are fighting, and will open the Vault of Glass. There are three “rings” in each area that you need at-least one person standing in to actually build the spire. The tough part is that while you are building the spire you have to hold off waves of Vex enemies, and if a Vex gets into the ring you are defending all of your progress is reverted.
How to open the Vault of Glass• Split your raid group into 3 teams of 2.
• There are 3 rings on the ground that you need to stand in (one to the left, middle, and the right side of the area).
• 4 areas exist on the map that enemies will spawn out of and rush these rings, you have to defend the rings to build the spire.
• The toughest enemies are the Minotaurs – Using Fusion rifles with abyss damage will eliminate their shields quickly and make them a lot easier to kill.
• Your whole raid group needs to successfully fend off the enemies and build the spire to open the door.
Destiny Vault of Glass Guide Step 2: The TemplarCongrats! You made it into the Vault of Glass, but that was the easy part. The next boss fight is with “The Templar” and there are a few mechanics your squad needs to make sure are handled so you can be victorious.
Part (1):• Your objectives are to defend designated areas.
• The first area (the middle) you defend for a certain amount of time.
• The 2nd areas (left and right) are next, so you split up your raid group to cover both sides.
• The Left side in my experience was more difficult, so you need 2 people defending the left side, while one player covers the middle so no extra enemies can spill into your area.
• Glowing enemies are “diseased” and when they die they drop pools of green sludge.
• If you step in this sludge there is a well of cleansing at the bottom of the stairs in the middle, you have to step in the circle or you will die. The circle of light is not always there though so try not to step in the sludge if possible.
Part (2):Once you make it past the initial defending portion of this area, you will advance to the final boss fight. Now, there is a regular (much harder way) to do this, but a much simpler and less frustrating method has been discovered to down this boss – which you can check out in the video below.
• Get your entire raid group onto the outside platforms.
• Make sure the raid member holding the shield knows what he is doing.
• Make sure the raid member holding the shield cleanses everyone when you get poisoned by oracles.
• The raid member with the shield needs to super the templar to get his shields down.
• Shoot the boss.
• Win, Get the loot.
Destiny Vault of Glass Guide step 3: Gorgon’s MazeThis next portion of the Vault of Glass raid is very unique, and can actually be a little difficult. You are now in the “Labryinth” and if you are seen by any of the floating white enemies in the area, your whole team instantly dies.
• You cannot kill these enemies, you have to be stealthy and avoid being seen.
• If anyone on your fire team is seen your whole team dies and you have to start over.
• Hunter cloaking DOES work, which can be extremely useful.
• You have to sneak past these enemies and find a cave located in the floor to advance into the next area.
When your team spawns you need to make sure that the patrols are looking elsewhere and then begin to move forward. You need to go towards the left side and begin looking for an area that has a few noticeable pillars (3-4 of them). Near one of these pillars should be the cave in the floor that you need to find to be able to advance to the next area.
The next area is essentially what equates to a jumping puzzle that you have to figure out. Platforms will appear, and then vanish over and over again – preventing you from reaching the other side. All you basically have to do is watch the platforms for a few minutes, learn the pattern and then time your jumps accordingly. When you are about halfway across you can even use your double jump / boost to reach the other side.
Destiny Vault of Glass Guide Step 4: Gate KeepersOpening the Gate:You will now find yourself in a room full of enemies consisting of hobgoblins, minotaurs, gatekeeper, etc. You need to kill these enemies and activate the portals by standing in them.
• You need to take out the gatekeeper in this room as fast as possible.
• 2 or 3 players from your party need to go into the portals.
• The remaining players stay outside and defend the structure in the middle of the area.
• Players inside of the portals kill the gatekeeper and grab the relic, if it is not equipped for too long you will die.
• Make sure that the player with the relic is the last person to exit the portal.
• After you exit the portals, kill all the oracles and watch for a pillar forming in the center of the area.
• Enemies will begin attempting to sacrifice themselves to the pillar, if they do this everyone will die.
• The boss will port 3 of the players furthest from him into on of the portals.
• It is best to have three players attempt to open the gate, while the one remaining player stays outside to defend.
• Complete this twice and the boss will become a lot easier kill.
Once you are done with the first part, you will find yourself in an area very similar to the area you were in while opening the door to the Vault of Glass. There are two portals on either side of the room, you need to activate one of them. One person standing in the ring is enough to activate the portal, but it will take a good amount of time. Once the portal has been activated you need to send one or two players inside (your team can decide this) – and the rest of the group needs to remain outside of the portal to defend.
For players outside of the portal:• A column will materialize in the middle of the room after you activate the first portal.
• The players outside of the portal have to defend this column as well as the hill that secures the portal.
• Vex will attempt to sacrifice themselves to the column, kill them before they are able to do that.
• If the Vex do sacrifice themselves to the column an oracle will appear and needs to be killed instantly.
For players inside of the portal:• Your goal is to kill the gatekeeper as fast as you possibly can.
• Head towards the back of the room (where the gatekeeper is) – kill anything in your way.
• As soon as you kill a gatekeeper a relic will drop, pick the relic up and go back through the portal.
• If you take too long to kill the gatekeeper your screen will go black and you will die.
• Once you are out of the first portal, go over to the second portal and go inside
• Same thing as the 1st portal – kill the gatekeeper and the enemies.
• Player who does not have the relic from the 1st portal grabs the new relic from the 2nd portal.
As soon as both players with the relics are out of the portals and back into the main room you are able to proceed. Both relic players have to fire their supers into the column to advance to the final boss fight of the raid.
Destiny Vault of Glass Guide step 5: Final Boss AtheonThe final Vault of Glass raid boss “Atheon” will appear at the top of the stairs in front of you. When he spawns both of the relics you collected earlier from the portals will now vanish, and he will teleport the three players furthest from him into one of the two portals.
Players outside the portal:• Send a player from your squad to activate whichever portal Atheon teleports your teammates into.
• The other two players need to kill the “Supplicants” that Atheon spawns into the room.
• Be aware of the supplicants self destruct ability.
Players Inside the portal:• Players need to spot the relic in the room and pick it up as soon as possible.
• One of the players should pick up the relic and use it to cleanse the vision debuff.
• Seven Oracles will spawn in the room one after the other, take them out as quickly as possible.
• The enemies in the room deal a good amount of damage so play somewhat passively until you can take them out.
• While killing oracles be sure that you are continuously moving towards the exit portal in the room.
• As soon as all the oracles are taken out the entire raid group will get a buff named “Time’s Vengeance”.
As soon as all players are back inside of the main room with Atheon you need to take him out. While the Time’s Vengeance buff is active any damage inflicted on the boss will be increased, and everyone’s supers and grenades will be on a two second cooldown. If you do not kill the boss quickly enough he will enrage, making the fight considerably harder than normal. If you let the Time’s Vengeance buff wear off Atheon will teleport the three players into one of the portals again.
