Defending the Conflux
The opener. You hold the confluxes against incoming Vex to crack the Vault open and move on.
Destroying Oracles
Oracles appear in sequence — find them and destroy them as they show up.
The Templar
The first boss of the Vault. Clear the Templar to keep pushing forward.
The Gorgon’s Labyrinth
A stealth section. Move through the maze without getting caught by the Gorgons.
Killing the Gatekeepers
Take down the Gatekeepers to break through to the final fight.
Atheon, Time’s Conflux
The final boss, and the one mechanic you have to respect:
- Atheon is shielded from all damage. You can’t just shoot him down — you have to work the mechanic first.
- He periodically opens timestreams. Each time, three random Guardians get teleported into a portal, with the Aegis waiting in front of them.
💡 Because the three teleported Guardians are random, everyone needs to know the portal job — anyone can get pulled in at any time.
