The Dark Below is the first DLC for Destiny, released on December 9, 2014.[2] The Dark Below takes place in the Cosmodrome and within the Hellmouth, and involves stopping the Hive god Crota from being resurrected and invading Earth.[3][4][5] Players are guided by Eris Morn, a new Tower vendor with a grudge against Crota.[6][7]

- Crota's End is available immediately upon starting the expansion, provided the player is a high enough level. The Undying Mind is also immediately available, provided the player has completed the story campaign from the base game.
