Beneath Venus, evil stirs.

The Vault of Glass is a Raid located on Venus, located in the Vex structure of the same name. It was made available in Destiny on September 16, 2014, and is one of the four Raids in the game.

Gameplay

The Vault is said to be "the most challenging experience that [Bungie] has ever created," and that players who complete it would "earn Destiny's ultimate rewards."[1] It is a raid that will take "hours upon hours to complete."[2]

According to Eric Osborne, the entrance alone is a challenge in itself, taking his team "forty-five minutes to crack."[3] A well-coordinated team however can open the entrance more quickly.

The Vault of Glass includes a number of challenging puzzles, unique enemies, and boss fights, as well as various traps to instantly kill the entire party if performed incorrectly. Time travel to the past and future also plays an important part in the Vault.
