Feb 26, 2020 Destiny 2 's Empyrean Foundation community event is complete, revealing what we've been working toward this whole time: the return of the Trials of Osiris on.
Hot off the heels of the exciting, Bungie brought another massive community event to Destiny 2 this week. The game’s latest update added the Empyrean Foundation, a mysterious event that puzzled fans since.The idea is simple: Players can now donate their polarized fractalines to the.
Once players collectively deposit enough fractalines, they’ll unlock mysterious rewards. Currently, Bungie has listed seven donation tiers, which will require billions of fractalines.The endgame here is still unknown, but many fans are speculating this could lead to the return of Trials of Osiris.
Here’s everything needed to get started. Complete the Bright Future questWhen you load into the game, head over to the Tower and go to Saint-14. He’ll have a new quest for you, called Bright Future. This is short and straightforward, so it won’t take long to knock it out.First, you’ll have to go into the Sundial activity and kill Inotam, the activity’s latest boss.
As with all Sundial bosses, there’s no fail state here, so jump in and fight until it’s over.After that, you’ll need to collect 30 orbs of light. Equip a masterwork weapon if you have one and get a bunch of kills to generate orbs fast. You can also knock this out quickly by jumping into an activity with a fire team and chaining supers.Once you complete this, you’ll get a core.
Take this back to the obelisk in the Tower, and you’ll officially gain access to the Empyrean Foundation. Donating fractalinesOnce you’ve unlocked the Empyrean Foundation, you have to submit polarized fractalines, which can be done in packs of 100.Fractalines aren’t hard to come. If you’re looking for a consistent source, pick up Saint-14’s bounties, which reward packs of them. The same goes for obelisk bounties, which will also give you a good supply of fractalines. You can also obtain these for completing various season 9 bounties, so focus on grabbing those for some easy gains.You’ll also want to load up on fractaline skimmers, which can be purchased from the Tower’s obelisk. When you use one, you’ll have a chance to receive polarized fractalines as a normal activity reward. You’ll only be able to use six of them every week, but this will give you an extra 600.Players who donate 5,000 fractalines during the event will earn a triumph and emblem, so make sure to hit that threshold by the end of the season.
Contributing will also generate a 25% progression toward any timelost bounties in your inventory, so there are many reasons to be a team player here. Upgrade your resonance rankDuring the event, the Tower obelisk will generate a batch of polarized fractalines for you every week based on your resonance rank between all of the. You’ll notice that you can donate fractalines at obelisks, which will update each one’s rank.While your instinct might be to donate everything you have to the Empyrean Foundation, you’ll want to make sure you’re raising your ranks when you can. Doing this will give you more guaranteed fractalines every reset, making it more lucrative in the long run.If you don’t feel like spending fractalines to raise your resonance, you can buy a light-fused fractaline from the Tower obelisk, which increases the rank of any other obelisk. This will cost you 50,000 glimmer and 10 legendary shards, so make sure you’ve loaded up on glimmer if you want to take advantage of these.If you missed the, this is an excellent chance to get in on a community event that’s much easier to grasp and participate in.
You don’t need the game’s season pass to help either so every player can help out here.Editors' Recommendations.
After a fair amount of anticipation, 's next piece of content in the Season of Dawn has arrived. The weekly reset on Tuesday, February 4, marks the beginning of the Empyrean Foundation quest, an item that was on Bungie's roadmap for this season, but about which we didn't know much. Datamining suggests this could be the first step in returning the to the game-but to get there, we first need to do some work.You can start the Empyrean Foundation quest by visiting Saint-14 when you login starting on February 4. Saint then tasks you with retrieving the 'core' for the Tower obelisk you've created through the course of the season. If you haven't built up the obelisk, you'll want to gather the Polarized Fractaline material from completing Obelisk Bounties and Saint-14 Bounties, and by using Fractaline Skimmers you can buy from the Tower obelisk. Head to each of the obelisks in the solar system to upgrade them with Polarized Fractaline until their resonance power is strong enough to complete the Tower obelisk.Once that's done, you can go after the core, which you can retrieve from completing a Sundial run this week.
When you do, you'll take on the fourth and final of the Psion bosses who populate the Sundial, called Inotam. The thing about Inotam is, you'll face a tougher battle than you have with the other bosses, because Inotam combines all the abilities of the previous three Psions. Destiny 2 News And Guides.How To Beat InotamOn the default difficulty, Inotam isn't too tough a fight because you pretty much can't lose-you have as long as you need to finally defeat the Psion. On Legendary difficulty, things can be considerably tougher. But if you know the mechanics, it's possible to best this battle without too much frustration.You'll find Inotam in a new arena located in the Corridors of Time. Like the other Psions, you'll find Inotam shielded.
Unlike the past battles, however, there are no Psion Commanders in bubbles that you need to find and eliminate. Instead, look for marked Vex pressure plates on the ground. You'll need to stand on them and fight off enemies in order to drop Inotam's shield.In the meantime, Inotam will use all the abilities you've seen from past Sundial bosses against you. That includes Arc lightning storms from above, exploding Solar bolts, and Void bubbles that can kill you if they encase you. To open the bubbles, shoot any of the points where the latticework comes together; for the Solar bursts, ducking behind cover can save you. The lightning can be avoided if you move quickly out from beneath its threatening clouds.Once you damage Inotam a bit, he'll transport you through time to another room. Here, you can pour on the damage, and you'll want to do so quickly-the room will quickly flood with Cabal reinforcements.
The goal here is to hit Inotam as hard as you can, as fast as you can, to get him to return you to the original arena for another phase of the fight.When you return from being tossed through time, you'll see that Inotam is shielded again. This time, your team will need to split between two Vex plates. Repeat the whole process to get transported through time, and when you return for the third and final phase, you'll need to cover three Vex plates.
That can get tough as you get charged by tougher and tougher Cabal enemies, so abilities like Ward of Dawn and Well of Radiance can be very helpful. Charging The CoreKeep blasting away at Inotam when her shield goes down and you'll finish the fight. That'll reward you with the obelisk core, sending you on a relatively easy next step. Here, you'll need to gather 30 Orbs of Light to charge up the core.
That's not difficult; just equip a masterworked weapon and run something like a Black Armory forge or a few public events where you'll have a lot of targets all at once (Strikes are also good).Once you get your 30 Orbs, you can return the core to the Tower. You'll now receive Polarized Fractaline materials from the Tower obelisk each week in an amount equal to its overall 'Resonance Power,' which is determined by how much you upgrade the other four obelisks. You can up the number by continuing to upgrade those obelisks. Empyrean DonationYour overall goal should be to spend Fractaline on the 'Empyrean Donation.' This is a big community effort to restore the Empyrean Foundation, and the Tower obelisk will continually measure how much Fractaline the entire Destiny 2 community donates. As the total grows, the entire community will unlock bonuses, including shaders and faster progression on Timelost Weapons.
