'''Vault of Glass''' is a [[Raid]] located on [[Venus]], located in the [[Vex]] [[Vault of Glass (location)|structure of the same name]]. It was made available in ''[[Destiny]]'' on September 16, 2014, and is one of the four Raids in the game. A reprised version of the Raid was released in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' on May 22, 2021.<ref name="d2vogrelease">[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/50287 '''Bungie.net''': ''This Week At Bungie – 4/29/2021'' (''"Vault of Glass will go live on May 22 at 10 AM PDT"'')]</ref>


==Overview==
Stored away, deep in the Vault of Glass on Venus is [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]]. No one knows what this Vex is. [[Guardian]]s must access the Vault, navigate the fractures in space and time, and terminate Atheon before it can become an unstoppable threat.

Described as the "[[Vex]] underworld" by the [[Ishtar Collective]],<ref>'''Bungie (2014/7/7)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Story Mission]]: [[The Archive]]''</ref> the Vault is a virtual realm within the Vex collective mind which the Vex use as a testing ground to control reality through the use of ontological warfare, as opposed to simulations. Because in this space, reality and time are altered by the [[Templar]], [[Oracles]] and [[Gorgons]] to better suit the Vex's long-term goal of Convergence, with [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]] as its nexus processing these calculations into existence itself. The Vault also exists simultaneously across multiple alternate timelines, acting as an anchor for the Vex's operations.<ref name="The Taken War: Venus"/> While these reality-bending powers do not extend outside the vault, the [[Speaker]] and [[Ikora]] speculated that the [[Sol Progeny]] are meant to unleashing them upon the Sol System and potentially the universe.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#The_Black_Garden|The Black Garden]]''</ref> Its enigmatic nature at the time of discovery has lured countless [[Guardian]]s to their demise, including the ill-fated [[Kabr, the Legionless]] and his fireteam.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/7/7)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Vault of Glass|Vault of Glass]]''</ref> The Vault is also described as Timeless which is without time. <ref>[https://youtu.be/XKm4m5VPtzE?t=16 '''Youtube''': ''Veteran Intro of Destiny 2'']</ref>
 
==History==
{{quote|The Vault of Glass is unique in all of the solar system. My scans indicate that other realities brush up against our own within the confines of the vault. So maybe you could even say it's unique in all the universes? The Vex are confusing.|Ghost<ref name="The Taken War: Venus"/>}}
 
When the [[Guardian]]s [[Kabr, the Legionless]], [[Pahanin]], and [[Praedyth]] ventured into the Vault of Glass on Venus, a major confluence of the Vex Collective network, they were thwarted by the [[Templar]] and its [[Oracles]]. Pahanin managed to escape, but leaving Kabr to perish as the Vex took his Ghost and became assimilated by their technology, but not before his Light was reforged into the [[Aegis]], a powerful shield that can alter fate itself. Meanwhile, Praedyth was caught by the [[Gorgons]]' gaze and erased from the records of history, but his spirit remained trapped across alternate timelines within the Vault; one which he bore witness to the end of the Vex collective.
 
Following the destruction of the [[Black Heart]], the [[Vanguard]] mounted a full six-manned [[Raid]] upon the Vex realm to plunder its secrets. Unlike Kabr's team, the [[Guardians]] successfully breached the vault, defeated the [[Templar]] with the Aegis, and destroyed [[Atheon|Time's Conflux]] at the Glass Throne.
 
During the [[Wolf Rebellion]], [[Skolas]] attempted to seize the power of the vault for himself in [[Wolves' Gambit]]. Skolas succeeded in tapping into the network and attempted to use it to pull the entire [[House of Wolves]] through time, but ultimately failed.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Story Mission]]: [[Wolves' Gambit]]''</ref>
 
Another attempt to seize the vault, this time by [[Oryx]] and the [[Taken]], proved a much greater threat. Oryx utilized a corrupted Vex Mind, [[Morphon, Blighted Mind|Morphon]], to infect the Vex collective network at its core. The Vex believed that this would have truly meant the end for the Vex, for Oryx would have had access to and infected the entire Vex network, until they realized that they could trick the Guardians into entering the Vault and stopping the Taken for them.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Story Mission]]: [[Paradox]]''</ref>

This article is about the raid. For the location, see Vault of Glass (location).
“ Beneath Venus, evil stirs. ”

Vault of Glass is a Raid located on Venus, located in the Vex structure of the same name. It was made available in Destiny on September 16, 2014, and is one of the four Raids in the game. A reprised version of the Raid was released in Destiny 2 on May 22, 2021.[1]

Stored away, deep in the Vault of Glass on Venus is Atheon, Time's Conflux. No one knows what this Vex is. Guardians must access the Vault, navigate the fractures in space and time, and terminate Atheon before it can become an unstoppable threat.

Gameplay

The Vault is said to be "the most challenging experience that [Bungie] has ever created," and that players who complete it would "earn Destiny's ultimate rewards."[2] It is a raid that will take "hours upon hours to complete."[3]

According to Eric Osborne, the entrance alone is a challenge in itself, taking his team "forty-five minutes to crack."[4] A well-coordinated team however can open the entrance more quickly.

The Vault of Glass includes a number of challenging puzzles, unique enemies, and boss fights, as well as various traps to instantly kill the entire party if performed incorrectly. Time travel to the past and future also plays an important part in the Vault.
