'''The Lighthouse''' is a landing zone in the [[Fields of Glass]], [[Mercury]]. The highest tower features the base of operations for [[Vance|Brother Vance]] of the [[Cult of Osiris]], overlooking a major [[Vex]] hub and the gateway to the [[Infinite Forest]]. [[Red Legion]] [[Cabal]], survivors from [[The Almighty]], are frequently deployed via [[Harvester]] to harass the Vex.  
'''Battlegrounds''' is a three player [[Arena]] matchmaking activity that was released with ''[[Season of the Chosen]]''. In it, the three players assault a fortified [[Cabal]] position and hunt down a Cabal commander seeking to join [[Empress Caiatl]]'s [[War Council]]. All four Battlegrounds were added to the [[Vanguard]] playlist with the release of ''[[The Witch Queen]]''.


In ''Destiny'', it was a social space only accessible by achieving a "Flawless Victory" of nine wins and zero losses in the [[Trials of Osiris]] Elimination [[Crucible]] mode. In ''Destiny 2'' it is [...]
==Structure==
Battlegrounds are similar to [[Strikes]], in that they are a 3-person activity that pits players against various obstacles throughout an extended area of the map. Players have to complete two objectives, during which they will have to fight a [[Major]] enemy (if running the battleground from the map) or a [[Champion]] (if running from a playlist). Battlegrounds contain a larger concentration of enemies compared to strikes, especially during the battle with the boss.


==Overview==
In the last section, the players will be presented with a post (functioning like a rally banner) that allows them to begin the [[Rite of Proving]] and fight a Cabal boss. Every third of its health bar, the boss will become immune to damage and move to a different section of the arena. To deactivate the immunity shield, the players will have to defeat a Shield Bearer (either a Major or a Champion). At half of its second and last third of its health bar, the boss will summon a [[Portable Cabal Shield]] and retreat inside. The shield will stay active until destroyed or until the boss is deprived of its remaining health, whichever comes first. All throughout this phase, an increasing amount of Cabal enemies will spawn, so players have to be quick to finish the battle, lest they be overwhelmed.
The Lighthouse is a small [[Vex]] structure that was deserted for unknown reasons. The area is currently being maintained as an outpost by [[Osiris]]'s extremely secretive network of disciples. The main point of interest is a large loot chest at the structure's far end that can potentially drop unique Trials of Osiris-themed gear, [[Etheric Light]], [[Passage Coin]]s, [[Mote of Light|Motes of Light]], and [[Exotic]] weapons and gear. There are also large deposits of [[glimmer]], abandoned weapons and gear, as well as a dormant ship.

==Rewards==
Completing a map Battleground will reward the player with a chest containing Season of the Chosen loot. Completing a playlist Battleground spawns three Cabal Tribute Chest that can be opened with a charged [[Hammer of Proving]] that grants Umbral Engrams, Glimmer, and other gear depending on the level of the hammer.


==Points of interest==
During Season of the Chosen, opening three Cabal Tribute Chests rewarded a piece of Pinnacle gear, and every three completions of strikes in the playlists rewarded Powerful gear of increasing rank, to a maximum of three pieces per week.
To the left of the entrance is the Weapons Forge; the player can create 10 Osiris-themed weapons and [[Saint-14]]'s shotgun, [[Perfect Paradox]], by completing Lost Prophecy quests from [[Vance|Brother Vance]], which become available after completing the campaign and Adventures for Mercury.


There is a region chest between the entrance and Brother Vance that is locked behind a force field. To unlock this chest, the player must interact with five books found around the Lighthouse in the correct order.
On subsequent seasons, completing three Battlegrounds from the playlist rewards the player with a piece of Powerful gear from the Season of the Chosen.

Season of the Chosen

Battleground: Hailstone.

Battlegrounds is a three player Arena matchmaking activity that was released with Season of the Chosen. In it, the three players assault a fortified Cabal position and hunt down a Cabal commander seeking to join Empress Caiatl's War Council. All four Battlegrounds were added to the Vanguard playlist with the release of The Witch Queen.

Structure

Battlegrounds are similar to Strikes, in that they are a 3-person activity that pits players against various obstacles throughout an extended area of the map. Players have to complete two objectives, during which they will have to fight a Major enemy (if running the battleground from the map) or a Champion (if running from a playlist). Battlegrounds contain a larger concentration of enemies compared to strikes, especially during the battle with the boss.

In the last section, the players will be presented with a post (functioning like a rally banner) that allows them to begin the Rite of Proving and fight a Cabal boss. Every third of its health bar, the boss will become immune to damage and move to a different section of the arena. To deactivate the immunity shield, the players will have to defeat a Shield Bearer (either a Major or a Champion). At half of its second and last third of its health bar, the boss will summon a Portable Cabal Shield and retreat inside. The shield will stay active until destroyed or until the boss is deprived of its remaining health, whichever comes first. All throughout this phase, an increasing amount of Cabal enemies will spawn, so players have to be quick to finish the battle, lest they be overwhelmed.

Battleground Location Council Aspirant
Behemoth Arcadian Valley, Nessus Commander Dracus
Foothold Cosmodrome, Earth Val Ma'rag
Hailstone Rathmore Chaos, Europa Basilius the Golem
Oracle Arcadian Valley, Nessus Ixel, the Far-Reaching

Rewards

Completing a map Battleground will reward the player with a chest containing Season of the Chosen loot. Completing a playlist Battleground spawns three Cabal Tribute Chest that can be opened with a charged Hammer of Proving that grants Umbral Engrams, Glimmer, and other gear depending on the level of the hammer.

During Season of the Chosen, opening three Cabal Tribute Chests rewarded a piece of Pinnacle gear, and every three completions of strikes in the playlists rewarded Powerful gear of increasing rank, to a maximum of three pieces per week.

On subsequent seasons, completing three Battlegrounds from the playlist rewards the player with a piece of Powerful gear from the Season of the Chosen.
