Ghosts Of The Deep: Break The Ritual
Starting from the rally banner, there are three routes leading down into the forest. On one of them,a Soulfire Binder ogrewill spawn.

ALucent Lightbearerwill spawn in the final group of enemies.Take note of the same Hive symbol found above the area one more time, as it will be needed later. Kill the enemies and the Lightbearer, and destroy its ghost. The player who destroys the Lightbearer’s ghost will receive a buff calledVestige of Light. The buff is on a timer, so players should rush back to the rally banner, where aVeilweaver Wizardwill have spawned. Defeat it, and the Wizard will dropa Deepsight node.
Once playersactivate the Deepsight node,the Hive runes around the central platform will become visible.The Vestige of Light must be banked on the correct rune, which is the Hive symbol that was above wherethe Lightbearer Wizardwas defeated. After that, the process repeats itself over and over again.
The area is quite large, but players should be able to learn fairly quickly where enemies will typically spawn, as the green trail will always lead to preset areas. There’s no real timer on the encounter, save for when the Vestige of Light is acquired, but even then players typically have over a minute to get back to the rally banner to complete the mechanic. The door leading deeper into the dungeon opens once all runes have been activated.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
