The first part of the fight starts when all six Guardians drop down into the [[Templar's Well]]. The Templar will spawn, but will be completely immune to damage thanks to its shield, which protects its entire chassis. It will also fire its [[Aeon Maul]] to suppress players and keep them them behind cover. While this occurs, confluxes will show up in the left, middle and right of the arena. These confluxes must be defended from all Vex that approach them. Once 4 Vex units sacrifice themselves to any of the confluxes, the Templar will have a sufficient power level to expunge the entire raid team, immediately wiping them. The players will not only have to focus on defending the confluxes, but the Templar will also summon unique Vex units named [[Fanatic]]s, which, when killed or get too close to you, leave behind a large green | The first part of the fight starts when all six Guardians drop down into the [[Templar's Well]].

The players will not only have to focus on defending the confluxes, but the Templar will also summon unique Vex units named [[Fanatic]]s, which, when killed or get too close to you, leave behind a large, green puddle. Players should avoid stepping in these circles, for if they do, they will be marked for negation. If a player is marked for negation, they must run to the pool of [[Light]] in the center of the arena to cleanse themselves, or they will instantly be killed when the Templar performs the Ritual of Negation. | ||

Once the raid team has successfully defended the confluxes from Vex sacrifices, the Templar will then summon its [[Oracle]]s. If any of these Oracles are not destroyed, all players will be marked for negation, which again means that they will instantly die when the Ritual of Negation is performed, unless they rush towards the aforementioned pool of Light. In order to make sure these Oracles are not destroyed, the Templar will summon Vex reinforcements that will inundate the player's field of view.

===Age of Triumph Changes=== | ===Age of Triumph Changes=== | ||
With the updated version of Vault of Glass, the Templar gained some new mechanics. It will have turned certain safe spots into either timed death zones or completely inaccessible areas. This is meant to force players into the open and face the enemies directly. In addition, when players are defending the confluxes and fending off the Oracles, the Templar will periodically summon [[Supplicant]]s, which are [[Harpy]]s that fly very fast and will explode when they get too close. But perhaps the most significant change of all is that during the third section, the Templar's Oracles will be red instead of yellow, meaning that if one is missed, then the Templar will inflict the Prophecy of Doom debuff on all Guardians, draining them of their [[Super]] and then killing them all. | With the updated version of Vault of Glass, the Templar gained some new mechanics.

With the return of the [[Vault of Glass (Raid)|Vault of Glass]] raid, the encounter gained new mechanics and some minor changes. | |||
The [[Oracle]]s will spawn in an order twice. After showing the correct order twice, the oracles will spawn at the same time, requiring your team to destroy the oracle at the correct order that has been shown. It will repeat 5 times each increasing the number of oracles from 3 to 7. The same thing will happen while fighting the Templar, requiring just 3 oracles to be destroyed in the shown order. When the team got marked because of not destroying or destroying the wrong oracle, the team has to cleanse at the same pool of light. This will not stop even when doing the challenge mode. | |||

While in [[Destiny 2]], with the new [[Oracle]]s mechanic introduced, The Templar now need to not allowed to be teleported but also need to be destroyed quickly before getting marked by the oracles. | ||
