Season of Dawn: How to prepare for the Empyrean Foundation event

Bungie has released details on the next community event to come to Destiny 2: the Empyrean Foundation. Similar to the Mars community event last summer, the Empyrean Foundation will see the entire playerbase coming together in pursuit of a common goal.

The event starts on February 4th, but there are a few things you can do now to prepare.

Season of Dawn intro: Questlines, Obelisks, and the Sundial

Well we’re a bit over halfway through the season, so much of this is probably late (I swear, by season 10 I should have a good rhythm down), but for those who are coming in late, I figure it can be useful to go over how to get started with the season’s content. And considering the Corridors of Time will be disappearing in a couple days, and you need to complete these quests to access it, a brief guide on how to get these done should probably help!

This post will talk about where to go to get started, the intro questlines, how to rescue Saint-14 and what you can do for him afterwards, and the mechanics of the Obelisks and the Sundial seasonal activity.

New Light 101: What is Destiny, and how do I start?

Welcome to the first post in a series I’m calling New Light 101, a beginner’s guide to Destiny 2. One common point of criticism after Destiny 2 went free-to-play is that the game really doesn’t give you much guidance once you complete the introductory quest, throwing you into a big ecosystem with very little to tell you what you should be doing next. It’s my hope that this series will help.

This post will start with the basics: what is Destiny, how do you get it, and where should you start? It’ll also go into the content available for free, what you can unlock through purchases, and a variety of helpful resources.

Corridors of Time solved! How to obtain the exotic fusion rifle Bastion

Well that was fast. Less than a day after my previous post, and the Corridors of Time have been solved! Now we know the result: the puzzle enabled us to begin the quest for Bastion, the first kinetic fusion rifle, a week early. The questline is relatively short and shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours to complete.

But before we get to that, I’ve got a community-related topic to discuss.

The Corridors of Time: How to help solve the biggest Destiny puzzle yet

I’m a bit late on my posts on the Season of Dawn intro (swear I’ll get around to it yet), but considering this is a current event, I figure I’ll help do my part in signal boosting.

With the Tuesday reset, Bungie has added what could possibly be the largest puzzle in Destiny history. Bigger than finding the Wall of Wishes codes, bigger than Niobe Labs, even bigger than Outbreak Prime. But this isn’t a puzzle that one person can solve alone. This is 100% a community effort, and you can help too.

So what’s this puzzle all about?
