===''Destiny 1''===

In order to start killing Atheon, it must first be lured out by awakening the Glass Throne. To start this process, the player should kill all enemies in sight, including a [[Gatekeeper]], a Vex [[Hydra]] which lacks a shield, but compensates with its ability to teleport. Killing this Gatekeeper will begin the encounter. There will be 2 Vex [[Transfer Gate]]s that must be opened by capturing their respective [[Sync Plate]]s. Additional Vex will pour out of these gates when they open. Two people should stand on one plate and guard it. However, this will cause more Vex to spawn, including [[Praetorian]]s, which should be the top priority target during this part as they have the ability to capture Sync Plates as well, giving control of them back to the Vex.  If one ever gets captured, an [[Oracle]] will spawn above the gate. Failure to destroy it will cause the team to wipe. Maintaining control of these plates will open up a gate. The remaining team members will enter the gate and proceed to kill all enemies inside. There will be another Gatekeeper waiting at the end of the area. Killing it will drop the [[Aegis]], but all players in the gate will then be marked by the Void. This can be counterracted by having the Aegis holder use the cleanse function of the relic. Failure to cleanse results in death. This debuff will keep being applied until everyone has exited the gate. A [[Conflux]] will then spawn in the middle of the arena, after which a group of [[Minotaur]]s will spawn and try to sacrifice themselves to it. Failure to defend it results in the entire team being expunged. After the conflux has been defended, the people who guarded the first plate should now go for the second plate and maintain a firm hold on it to unlock the next gate. As soon as the remaining Guardians enter it, they will be marked by the Void again. The relic holder must keep cleansing everyone to keep this debuff off. There will be one more Gatekeeper to kill, which will drop another [[Aegis]] for someone else to pick up. After both relics have been claimed, all Guardians must defend the central conflux from more Vex until the Glass Throne awakens.

With the throne open, Atheon will spawn and face the Guardians personally. It will walk forward and fire his [[Torch Hammer]] at all players in sight. Shortly after, he will open the [[Timestream]] and teleport 3 team members at random into either the distant future or past. Those teleported will again be marked by the Void and must be cleansed. Focus should be placed on killing all the enemies inside and destroying all the Oracles being summoned by Atheon. Failure to do so will result in Atheon immediately killing the inside team using the Prophecy of Doom. Destroying all the Oracles will result in a safe exit. Meanwhile, those on the outside with Atheon will be detained. Players must shoot their way out of these bubbles like how they did when facing the [[Templar]]. In addition, [[Supplicant]]s, which are [[Harpy|Harpies]] that act as kamikaze units, will flood the arena and move very erratically towards the player. If they get too close, it can result in serious damage being taken or an immediate death. These Supplicants will spawn until the inside team makes it back out, at which point the [[Aegis]] holder will have attained a buff called [[Time's Vengeance]], which greatly boosts all damage to Atheon. This is where the damage phase begins. The buff lasts 30 seconds. Once the buff expires, the process resets. Note that the lower Atheon's health, the faster the fire rate and the bigger the blast radius of its Torch Hammer becomes. Repeating the process enough times will eventually result in Atheon's death.

Age Of Triumph introduced a challenge mode for Atheon, in which every member of the fireteam must kill 1 oracle in each phase. If someone kills more than one oracle, the challenge will not be registered. This means that the players holding the portal open must enter the portal one at the time and kill one of the oracles.

===''Destiny 2''===

In phase one, instead of Praetorians, there will be [[Overload Minotaur|Overload Minotaurs]] attempting to capture the sync plates. Also, instead of bringing [[The Aegis]] from the transfer gates, players need to enter and protect a conflux inside  both gates from enemies, including [[Major]] [[Wyvern]]s. On one of the sides, a Praetorian with immunity shield will spawn in, attempting to sacrifice itself for the conflux and, if successful, will cause a team wipe. The player on said side should inform the person holding the Aegis at the boss area which side the Minotaur is at, so that they can run inside the gateway to disable the shield and kill it. Moving through the gateway with the relic will cause a debuff that disables portal transportation for a period of time, meaning the two players should switch roles and deliver the shield to next person inside the boss room, so that they can aid the other side in similar fashion. The relic switching continues a couple more times until the final conflux appears in the center of the Glass Throne, which must be defended from additional enemies.

*In every causal pathways converging on Atheon from every dimensional axis in the space time bulk, there are two things to note:

** '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system Axis]''' is a fixed reference line for the measurement of coordinates of a dimension, each dimension has an axis.

*In Year 1 of [[Destiny]], there was a particularly famous exploit in the Vault of Glass where the team facing Atheon could push him off the edge of the platform where he was standing. Doing this effectively meant the team doing the raid would complete the encounter and receive full rewards.

*Atheon is the first Vex boss to be called by name when it was during Destiny's [[Age of Triumph]].
