 ===Destiny 2===
-In Destiny 2 there are a few changes, namely the early inclusion of the Chalice of Light. At the top of the Hellmouth, the Chalice will be hovering above a mini altar. Once picked up, it will begin to charge. Once fully charged, have another player take it off you quickly, and this will grant you the “Enlightened” buff. Use this buff on the synch plate in order to begin building the bridge, and continue to pass the Chalice between players. Eventually the bridge will finish and the Chalice will vanish for the time being. Once you’ve jumped down into the Hellmouth, the Chlaice will appear again, and once picked up, you will gain a Weight of Darkness debuff and a new debuff called, “Engulfed in Darkness”. This debuff lasts a minute and will wipe players if not reset. This is where the Chalice comes in. The Chalice has a different function now, serving as a buff that allows you to turn on lamps via preserving it on a small altar that will be located next to some of the lamps. Doing this will not remove your Weight of Darkness, however, this is required in order to reset your debuff and prevent a wipe, as well as to activate the final plate at the end of the Abyss. The player holding the Chalice will notice that it is charging up, and once fully charged, must have another player remove the Chalice from them, lest they die from holding it for too long. Once the player who was holding the Chalice has charged it fully and had someone else take it, they will receive the “Enlightened” buff, which allows them to “Enlighten” the lamps and remove the Weight of Darkness debuff temporarily, and also resets the timer on your “Engulfed in Darkness”. Once you’ve made your way though the Abyss and to the final plate, you must repeat what you did at the top of the Hellmouth, enlightening the plate and passing the Chalice until the bridge is built. Unstoppable Ogres will push you as you stand on the plate, so bring an anti-unstoppable weapon or subclass. Once built, make your way across and you’ve completed the encounter.
+In the Destiny 2 re-release, there are a few big mechanical changes to the raid, most notably a brand new juggling mechanic called the "Chalice of Light", as well as the "Enlightened" buff that appears after passing the Chalice to another player. The Chalice is the overarching mechanic for the raid, and appears in every encounter (including the hallway between the Bridge and [[Ir Yut]]).
+Entrance/Maze: At the top of the Hellmouth, the Chalice will be hovering above a mini altar. Once picked up, it will begin to charge, and you will see a meter on the bottom left of your screen while you have it. Once fully charged, have another player take it off you before a 10-second cooldown expires and you die. Once the Chalice is passed to another player, it will grant you the “Enlightened” buff. Use this buff on the sync plate in order to begin building the bridge, and continue to pass the Chalice between players. Eventually the bridge will finish and the Chalice will vanish for the time being. Once you’ve jumped down into the [[Hellmouth]], the Chalice will appear again, and once picked up, you will gain two debuffs: "[[Weight of Darkness]]" , and a new one called “Engulfed in Darkness”. This debuff lasts for one minute and will wipe players if not reset by Enlightening a lamp. Players will notice that some lamps are lit up, and some are not. Lamps that are lit up will have a place to "preserve" the Chalice of Light, but ALL lamps are able to be Enlightened if any player has that buff. At the end of the encounter, players must Enlighten the last lamp before the end plate in order to activate it and start building the bridge to end the encounter. If you want, you can choose to either preserve the Chalice or continue to pass it between players in order to build the bridge faster. If no player accelerates the bridge, it will take 90 seconds to fully build and allow players to cross.
+Bridge: The Chalice will spawn in the middle of the room. Similar to the maze, this encounter forces players to pass the Chalice between each other in order to cross the bridge, but this time, players must also defeat a new enemy called a [[Swordbearer]]. Swordbearers, when killed, will drop a Hive sword that can only be held if a player is Enlightened.
