'''Scourge of the Past''' is a [[Raid]] added in ''[[Season of the Forge]]''. It was made available to players on December 7th, 2018 and then sunset with the release of ''[[Beyond Light]]'' on November 10th, 2020.

 

Serving as the climax of the seasonal [[Battle_of_the_Forges|storyline]],  [[Fallen]] from the [[Kell's Scourge]] had occupied an [[Botza District|abandoned part]] of the [[Last City]] and taken over a lost [[Vault Ebisu|vault]] from the [[Black Armory]]. [[Guardian]]s must breach through the [[Kell's Scourge]]'s territory and face against a heavily armed [[Insurrection Prime, Kell's Scourge|war machine]] built from stolen technology.

===Berserker===

 

The raid begins with the Fireteam flying dropping into the Botza District in [[The City]]. It is an exceptionally large urban area with many buildings, alleyways and rooftop patios and allows for the use of Sparrows. The most notable building is the Schnell building with a neon light picture of a bunny. The team starts in one of the corners of the map and will make their way towards the center of the map to a set of Fallen tech. Behind that, a Berserker class Fallen Captain mini-boss will be invisible unless at a close enough distance. The Berserker is immune unless the team shoots two spots, one on his chest and one on his back with both glowing orange, while his suppression field is up and the Berserker is charging a powerful shot. This shot has a very good chance of a one-shot kill. Once the shield is down and the Berserker killed, it will drop a Radiant Battery. The battery will only last for one minute and that timer does not reset when picked up, rather it is "inherited". The battery is then placed in an energy station to officially begin the encounter. Once a Radiant Battery is placed in an energy station, the player receives the "Ionized" Debuff, which makes it so the player cannot pick up another battery for two minutes.

 

Once the center energy station is activated, the Holomap will turn on. There is an elevated platform to view the map from. The Holomap will show you a 3D makeup of the Botza District, as well as the location of additional Berserkers and energy station locations, indicated by the number of dots above each one, one top (Schnell) 1, right 2, bottom 3, left 4, and center (map) 5. There is a timer on the top left piece of Fallen tech transmitting the map. If this timer runs out, the Holomap will detonate and the team will wipe. The team must locate a Berserker specifically marked on the map with a large multi-square beacon that follows its movements. Teams that are usually one/two stay at the map while four/five go after the Berserker. The team kills the Berserker and instead of one battery, two will spawn. One of these batteries will go to the map, the other will go to one of the four surrounding energy stations. Once a battery is picked up, it will appear on the map with a number of dots, indicating the correct energy station it needs to go to. Placing it in a wrong one will cause it to explode, killing the player and anyone close. Upon coming to an energy station, adds and two major servitors will spawn. The servitors must be killed, since they are blocking access to the energy station. Once they are killed, the player with the battery places it into the energy station. This process must be done 4 times, or rather, the outside energy stations must be done 4 times (not each one, ex. you could put 3 batteries on top and one in left then the encounter is complete). The station in the middles adds time to the timer to stop the team from wiping. Once the encounter is complete, enter the cave where the last battery was placed to obtain a chest. One player must approach the chest to open it, then everyone is given their reward.

===Vault Access===

 

 

The Ground Level team mainly focus on clearing out the enemy that can infiltrate the underground level, causing severe damage to the underground team. The enemies are Shanks which are heavily shielded with the three elements, Void, Arc, and Solar (in that order of spawn).  The enemies will spawn from a Fallen Ship, randomly top, left, right or behind of the map. The Ground Level team must equip a variety of element weapons to quickly take down the Shanks before reaching the Underground Level, however, if a few got down below, it's not fatal towards the other team. Additionally, there will be a Ultra Servitor spawning in the midst of the encounter in which will be later explained down below. It is recommended to use Hardlight against these shanks due to it covering all elemental needs.

 

The Underground Level team focuses on finding buffs around the circular room that they must melee on. These buff consist of Continuous (Pink) Angular (Blue) and Parallel (White) and a debuff that can cause an immediate wipe on the team. The debuff portrays as red and always shape-shifting that players must avoid at all cost. The three players must have one of the buffs that's randomly located around the room. Once melee the buff, the player will receive the buff on the left screen and will have a circular line around the player's avatar corresponding to the color of the buff. There will also be Fallen enemies in this room so be mindful when traveling around the Underground Level. Once all three players received their buffs, the Ground Level must defeat the Ultra Servitor to reset the buff spawn so that Underground Team can gain another buff. Once reset, the Underground team must find their exact same buff from before that is randomly located around the room. If melee the wrong buff, the player will instantly die and also, running pass another player with a different buff will cause a debuff called Tethered. Tethered causes damage towards players that are near each other, entangled with their circular line around the player's avatar. Once the team has found their buffs again, the Ground team must yet again destroy the Servitor.

 

 

Loadouts are role-specific. One player must be assigned as a map reader, and another as a sniper. The rest should be grabbing the charges, and one person should be designated to drive the [[Drake Tank]]. The Holomap reader should have been equipped with close to medium range weapons. Hand cannons, pulse rifles, and shotguns are highly recommended. A sniper should be equipped with a pulse rifle and a kinetic or energy sniper rifle. Everyone else should have the same loadouts as the map reader, but mid to long range weapons are recommended due to the large size of the map. Regardless of roles, it's recommended that everyone come equipped with [[Whisper of the Worm]], D.A.R.C.I, or [[Outbreak Perfected]] for the DPS phase.

After the first part of the DPS phase, Insurrection Prime will emit a pulse that will give all players one of three charges; Angular, Continuous, or Parallel. No more than two players will be affected by the same buff. Two players affected by the same charge must stand next to each other to increase their damage output. However, if they stand next to a player with a different charge, the next time the boss emits a pulse, both players will die. The easiest way to get into formation is to form a V, with Angular on the left, Continuous on the bottom, and Parallel on the right. However, a popular option would be going to the green building which is the bottom left of the four buildings that form the inner area. People would go to the three platforms that are above the electric gate and they would go to the word CAP from left to right. C is for Continuous, A is for Angular, and P is for Parallel. The boss will repeat this three times, so watch for your buffs and get ready to move. If the boss does not go down in this damage phase, the group has to start from the top. When the boss is killed, the area in which Insurrection Prime was formerly docked will open up and reveal to the team the room below with the final Raid chest. This chest is the only one to potentially award Anarchy.

* Insurrection Prime phase 1: Every player must pick up and deposit every variation of Phase Radiance at least once.

* Insurrection Prime phase 2: All players must break 1 shield generator per phase. If a player breaks 2, the challenge will fail.
