Introduction to the Lighthouse in Destiny 2
The Trials of Osiris in Destiny 2 have undergone some significant changes, making it more accessible and rewarding for players. This is an excellent time to dive back into the mode, as almost everyone can now make it to the Lighthouse with enough persistence. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a newcomer, this guide will help you understand how to reach the Lighthouse and the rewards that await you.
How to Reach the Lighthouse in Destiny 2
To start your journey to the Lighthouse, you’ll need to pick up the Lighthouse Passage from Saint-14 in the Tower. This Passage is essential for accessing the Lighthouse. Unlike the previous system, where losses could be a significant setback, the new system focuses more on achieving seven wins on the card. Losses will not affect your ability to reach the Lighthouse, making it more forgiving for players.
Playing Through the Lighthouse Passage
The Lighthouse Passage is not the same as the Trials of Osiris Passage. The Trials of Osiris Passage offers a more Iron Banner-like experience, where you play against players of similar skill levels and earn base rewards such as reputation, weapons, and armor. These matches are crucial for building your overall progress toward the Lighthouse.
Once you achieve seven wins on your Lighthouse Passage, you will receive the Completed Lighthouse Passage or, if you maintained a seven-win streak, the Flawless Lighthouse Passage. This achievement grants you access to the Lighthouse. To reach it, open the Crucible menu and select the Lighthouse Simulation node above the Trials of Osiris. This will transport you and your fireteam to the Lighthouse, where you can interact with Saint-14 and loot the Lighthouse chest.
Looting the Lighthouse Chest
The Lighthouse chest is a treasure trove of rewards. After looting the chest, you can reset the Completed Lighthouse Passage to try again and earn more rewards. Alternatively, you can continue playing on a Completed Passage to increase your chances of obtaining additional rewards based on your highest win streak. For instance, achieving a four-win streak gives you a 50 percent chance of getting an Adept weapon for each win on a Completed Passage, increasing to 75 percent with a Flawless Passage.
Lighthouse Chest Rewards: Repeatable and Win Streak-Based
The rewards from the Lighthouse chest are divided into two categories: repeatable and win streak-based. Even with a low win streak, you can still expect a generous amount of loot. Here are the details:
Repeatable Rewards
Repeatable rewards are dropped every time you reach the Lighthouse until you get the Flawless Lighthouse Passage. With the Flawless Passage, these rewards are folded into the post-win rewards. Here are the repeatable Lighthouse rewards:
- Enhancement Prisms: One to two
- Base Trials weapon: One
- Trials armor: One
- Osirian Ciphers: Three
- Ascendant Shard: 45 percent chance
- Adept weapon: One based on how many wins you got as a full fireteam (seven wins is a 100 percent chance) and one more based on your highest weekly win streak. One win is a 30 percent chance, two is 60 percent, and three is guaranteed.
Win Streak-Based Rewards
Win streak-based rewards are based on your highest win streak that week. The higher your win streak, the more rewards you receive. Here are the win streak Lighthouse rewards:
- One win streak: Enhancement Cores (three to five), Enhancement Prism (one), Ascendant Shard (one), Adept Mod (one), chance to get a Ghost Shell, Hardened By Trial emblem
- Two win streak: Trials armor (one), Osirian Ciphers (two)
- Three win streak: Base Trials weapon (one), Osirian Ciphers (two), Enhancement Cores (five)
- Four win streak: Yellow glow, Osirian Ciphers (one), Base Trials weapon (one), Trials Mement (one), chance to get a sparrow, chance to get a ghost shell, Trials shader from the knockout list (one per week), Light for the Lost emblem, Flawless Empyrean emblem, Sunward Ordeal emblem
- Five win streak: White glow, Enhancement Prism (two)
- Six win streak: Red glow, Adept weapon (one), Base weapon (one)
Conclusion
The Trials of Osiris in Destiny 2 has become a more accessible and rewarding experience, making it a great time to jump back into the mode. By following the steps to get the Lighthouse Passage, playing to achieve seven wins, and looting the Lighthouse chest, you can earn a wealth of rewards that will help you progress in the game. Whether you’re aiming for a Flawless Passage or just trying to earn as many rewards as possible, the Trials of Osiris has something to offer for every player.
