The first Raid activeness in Destiny history, the Vault of Glass, returns in Destiny ii with fresh takes on the classic encounters and mechanics. After players have successfully defended the confluxes, they volition need to face up a puzzle from the Oracles.

The Vault of Glass is a fan-favorite Raid because of its mysterious nature, and many players have spent years trying to find whatever secrets. The Destiny ii version is almost identical to the original in terms of advent, with players nonetheless opening the vault in the Waking Ruins on Venus.

Once Destiny two players have completed the starting time major encounter of the Vault of Glass past defending the confluxes from sacrificial Vex enemies, they will be able to start the Oracles encounter. This encounter requires clear communication and constant focus from all players equally they need to solve an increasingly long Simon says-style puzzle from the glowing, white cubes known as Oracles.

Here is a basic rundown of all the steps to complete the Oracles encounter in the Vault of Glass:

  • The squad must determine which players volition destroy the Vex and which players volition destroy the Oracles
  • Players demand to position themselves accordingly
  • Shoot the floating Vex Cube to start the encounter
  • For each wave, the Oracles will present their sequence twice, and the Oracle-killers need to call out the position in the sequence of any of their Oracles.
  • The Oracles volition then appear all together simultaneously, and the Oracle-killers must destroy the Oracles in the correct lodge.
  • Keep repeating this until the team has successfully cleared all five waves of Oracles.
  • All enemies will despawn, and a boodle chest will appear at the end of the fifth wave.

Loadouts:

This encounter'southward focus lies entirely on the Oracles, with a few Vex enemies appearing to inconvenience Guardians. Damage Supers are not particularly useful, except for quick-utilize ones such as Nova Bomb, Thundercrash, and Blade Barrage. Support and Stasis Supers such equally Well of Radiance, Wintertime's Wrath, and Silence and Squall will exist much more than useful for keeping everyone alive and slowing downwards the Vex.

For the designated Oracle-killers in the team, Exotic Automobile Gun Xenophage is the all-time weapon as it can destroy an Oracle in one shot. If every Oracle-killer uses it, teams can get through the Oracle waves very speedily. Blasting an Oracle a couple of times with a Shotgun at point-blank range is another good method for destroying them quickly.

As for other weapons, any kinetic energy weapon volition do for destroying the incoming Vex. Shotguns, Fusion Rifles such as Plug 1.1, and Grenade Launchers such equally Witherhoard will be very useful for the players immigration out the Vex Goblins and Minotaurs. Some Destiny two players should consider using a Sniper Rifle to apace destroy any Hobgoblins that spawn on the floating pillars around the Templar's Well. Warmind Cells are not brash for this come across as they can destroy Oracles if they detonate.

Mechanics:

There are seven possible positions for the Oracles to spawn in the Templar's Well arena in this encounter. One will spawn in the centre between the two giant columns where the rally imprint tin be placed. The left and correct sides of the arena will have a front end, center, and back Oracle. Some teams may refer to them fully like "front-right" or in a coded shorthand like "R1". It is worth mentioning that these Oracle names do not need to be chosen out past whatsoever players during the run into. They are strictly for letting the squad know which Oracle a player is watching.

On the left side, the front-left Oracle spawns on a narrow set of steps on the left side of the expanse where the rally banner can be placed. The center-left Oracle spawns adjacent to a colonnade in the open up area where the left conflux was. The back-left Oracle spawns in the small, raised tunnel that leads to where the Templar normally sits.

On the right side, the front-right Oracle spawns by the steps on the right that lead up to where the correct conflux was. The middle-right Oracle spawns on the corner of the platform where the correct conflux would be. Finally, the dorsum-correct Oracle spawns between two pillars towards the back expanse where the Templar would normally sit down.

The encounter is made up of five waves of Oracles, starting with three Oracles so adding one with each wave, so the concluding wave has all seven Oracles. Once the encounter begins, the Oracles will appear when the message "The Oracles fix to sing their refrain" appears in the text feed. Three Oracles will chime and appear briefly around the arena in a specific guild. The Oracles will present this sequence twice and are immune to impairment.

The message, "The Templar summons the Oracles," volition pop upwardly in the feed, and all 3 Oracles volition appear simultaneously. The players and so need to destroy the Oracles in the correct order. The Oracles practice not stay for a long time, then the team needs to destroy the Oracles quickly. All players are notified with a message in the feed when an Oracle has been destroyed. Once all the Oracles are gone, the message, "The Oracles recognize their refrain," will appear, signifying that the wave has been completed. This process repeats for the adjacent 4 waves, except in that location is an extra Oracle on each wave.

If an Oracle is shot in the incorrect gild or the team does non destroy all the Oracles in time, the wave volition finish, and all players will get Marked for Negation. If they exercise non get cleansed by running through the pool of light in the middle of the arena, they will eventually die. After a short fourth dimension, the cleansing pool deactivates in one case it has been used, so marked players need to go through the puddle at the same time to all get cleansed.

Strategy:

Earlier starting the meet, the squad needs to decide how players will be allocated in positions and roles. This can exist washed in several means and is ultimately downwards to how much information individual players are comfy with managing, equally all players will have to practise a bit of add-clearing. Still, non all accept to focus on Oracles.

Having at to the lowest degree four dedicated Oracle killers guarantees that none of them will take to focus on more than two Oracles. For case, Player 1 could watch for the front end-right (R1) and heart Oracles, Player two could watch for the forepart-left (L1) and heart-left (L2) Oracles, Player 3 could watch only the back-left Oracle (L3). Player 4 tin focus on the dorsum-right (R3) and middle-right Oracles (R2) while Players five and 6 act as dedicated add-clearers.

Oracle killers need to go into a position where they roughly run across both Oracles at once and have Xenophage equipped, and then the encounter can begin. When the Oracles start to appear, the players assigned to spotting them must telephone call out the numerical position in the sequence of that Oracle to the remainder of the team. Counting the Oracles' chimes is also helpful in determining exactly what position in the sequence an Oracle is.

When the Oracles testify the sequence a second time, this is a bang-up opportunity to double-bank check or clarify the exact position. When they all announced, the Oracle-killers demand to destroy the Oracles using Xenophage in the order that they just chosen out while also calling out their number, so the adjacent histrion knows when to destroy their Oracle.

Using the previous player examples, a wave with an Oracle sequence of L3, Middle, R2 might get like this: Thespian 3 will say "ane" since their Oracle appeared commencement. Player one volition and so call out "two" as one of their Oracles appeared 2nd. Finally, Histrion 4 will call out "three" every bit one of their Oracles appeared third. These iii players tin so confirm the order on the 2nd run of the sequence. Player iii needs to destroy the L3 Oracle and say "1" when all the Oracles appear. This volition signal to Player ane that they must now destroy the middle Oracle, and they will call out "two" when they do. Actor 4 can at present destroy the final Oracle of the wave, and all the Oracle-killers demand to ready for the next wave.

Repeat these steps for each wave, and the Oracles run across should be over in no fourth dimension. One time all the Vex take respawned and the fifth moving ridge is over, a boodle chest will spawn in, rewarding players with Vault of Glass weapons and armor.

Destiny 2 players can also try the Oracles Raid challenge when it is available to go an actress loot chest and more than rewards.

For a greater challenge, Bungie will shortly be adding a Main difficulty mode for the Vault of Glass which will offering Timelost variants of the Raid'southward iconic weapons.

Destiny ii: Beyond Lite and Season of the Splicer are available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox I, and Xbox Series X|S.
