==Overview==
The Glassway first appears in the Beyond Light campaign where [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] enters the [[Europa]] Nexus to harness [[Radiolaria]].
[[Variks, the Loyal]] guides the [[Guardian]]s to her whereabouts and engages in dialogue with Eramis, who flees from the portal.
The ancient [[Vex Mind]], [[Belmon, Transcendent Mind]], appears out of the portal and serves as the main antagonist. Alongside [[Transcendent Hydra]], they attempt to escape through the portal, but are defeated by the Guardians. It is also the first strike to feature [[Wyvern]]s as [[Vex]] reinforcements.
Later on, the strike reappears with alternative dialogue featuring the [[Exo Stranger]]. She enlists the Guardians to prevent more Vex from escaping the portal as it remained active thanks to Eramis.

*There was an unreleased [[Emblems/Destiny 2|emblem]] added to the game files in ''Beyond Light'', called "The Glassway". It was probably meant as a reward for completing the strike, but in April 2021 it got deleted from the API.<ref>[https://destinyemblemcollector.com/emblem?id=2588647367 Destiny Emblem Collection - Emblem Details: The Glassway]</ref>
