Navigating the Challenges of Vesper’s Host Dungeon in Destiny 2
The Vesper’s Host Dungeon in Destiny 2 offers a formidable endgame experience, set within a space station that has fallen into chaos. Players will face Atraks-1, now transformed into the Corrupted Puppeteer. If you’ve tackled the Deep Stone Crypt Raid in Beyond Light, this will feel familiar; you’ll utilize three unique augments throughout various encounters. However, expect a blend of new challenges that elevate the difficulty of this Dungeon. Here’s a detailed guide to help you conquer Vesper’s Host.
Getting Started with Vesper’s Host
Before diving into Vesper’s Host, make sure to acquire the “Rogue Network” quest from Spider, located in the Eliksni bar in the Last City. Once you’ve initiated this quest, the Dungeon activity will become available on the Europa map.
Understanding the core mechanics is crucial to success. Just like in the Deep Stone Crypt Raid, Vesper’s Host requires players to collect three augments for different tasks in each encounter. Remember, only one player can hold an augment at a time. Augments can be deposited at designated terminals, which can securely store them or allow other players to pick them up if needed.
A key point to keep in mind is that collecting any augment triggers a 60-second countdown timer, leading to a swift demise if it reaches zero. Fortunately, depositing and immediately re-collected augments resets this timer. Here’s a quick breakdown of each augment:
Scanner (yellow): Marks specific objects on your minimap with yellow hexagons. When approaching a marked object, the marker will either vanish or turn white; a white marker indicates the correct object.
Operator (red): Allows you to shoot certain red control panels to activate them.
- Suppressor (blue): Highlights specific enemies in bright blue and replaces your grenade ability with a decoy bomb. Activating this creates a holographic decoy that, when shot, explodes and makes nearby highlighted enemies vulnerable.
Completing Major Encounters in Vesper’s Host
Activation Encounter
At the outset, your mission is to enter Vesper Station and begin the reactivation process. Progress through some walkways until you reach a dark hangar. In this “Embarkation” section, you’ll get introduced to the Scanner and Operator augments. Use the Scanner to find five red control panels scattered in the hangar, identifying the correct ones to shoot with the Operator.
- Approach a red control panel; the corresponding yellow hexagon on your minimap will either disappear or change to white. Once the correct panels are determined, activate them with the Operator to unlock the door ahead.
Afterward, you’ll vie for control in the Activation encounter, where similar mechanics apply, but with greater danger. Your goal here is to deposit three nuclear cores into bins behind a central sphere robot. You’ll notice doors labeled heart, lungs, and brain, each leading to a core.
- Defeat the Brig, then eliminate the Viral Carrier to collect the Scanner.
- Enter any of the three doors; defeat the enemies within.
- Advance to face more Machine Priest’s Assistants until another Viral Carrier appears with the Operator augment.
- Use the Scanner to follow the yellow markers to red control panels, resulting in four white markers on your minimap.
From there, continue to shoot the correct control panels with the Operator to make a nuclear core appear, collect it, and return to the main room to deposit it into one of the bins. Repeat this procedure for the other two locations to complete the encounter.
Battling Raneiks Unified
After the initial encounters, you’ll face Raneiks Unified. This mini-boss phase involves inserting five nuclear cores within a small maze before proceeding to the boss fight. Upon entering the boss area, ten red control panels numbered zero through nine become essential for the damage phase later on.
To defeat Raneiks Unified, follow these steps:
- Defeat a Viral Carrier to gather the Operator and save it for later use.
- Continue clearing enemies until a Machine Priest miniboss appears; eliminate it to teleport to another area.
- Defeat all Shanks, including the one holding the Suppressor.
- Activate your Suppressor ability to fragment Raneiks Unified into ten smaller Servitors.
- Identify the two Servitors glowing with red lights and note their numbers for later reference.
Repeat the identification process to collect four unique numbers, then use the Operator to shoot the corresponding red panels to trigger the damage phase.
For the damage phase:
- Secure the Suppressor from the newly spawned Viral Carrier.
- Use your decoy bomb to further split Raneiks Unified, making it vulnerable to damage.
- Fire at the Servitors until they merge back into Raneiks Unified.
The Servitors share a health bar, so unleash your firepower. Complete this cycle until Raneiks Unified is defeated, unlocking access to the outer Vesper Station where you’ll confront the Corrupted Puppeteer.
Confronting the Corrupted Puppeteer
The final boss encounter requires keen strategy. The Corrupted Puppeteer will spawn “puppets” resembling itself. These can only be eliminated after being hit with a Suppressor bomb, and stacking Radiation effects when near them can be deadly.
The fight consists of three phases, repeating until the Puppeteer is defeated:
Entrance Phase: Collect the Suppressor, then utilize it to clear out puppets until the Scanner becomes available. Approach the blue monitors to identify the numbers to shoot later.
Shield Phase: Collect the Operator and shoot the four marked red panels. This will open tubes, allowing you to drop into the next area for further confrontation.
- Damage Phase: Ascend to the Puppeteer’s lair, where the final battle unfolds. Constantly move to avoid damaging lightning strikes, eliminate spawning puppets, and secure a nuclear core when given the chance.
Maintain focus throughout this lengthy fight; it’s a test of endurance and skill. If you emerge victorious, you can earn the sought-after Ice Breaker Exotic Sniper Rifle and continue your journey with the Rogue Network quest.
