Tonight, on May 11, 2018, the start signal for the second raid lair “Spire of Stars” will be given in Destiny 2. If you can’t be there yourself, you can follow the action in our livestream.
When exactly does it start? For the new raid lair “Spire of Stars”, the Leviathan will open its gates today, Friday, May 11, at 7:00 PM. Then the race for the World-First raid clear begins once again.
If you cannot or do not want to be there right at the start of the new raid passage, you can also watch this new PvE group activity in our livestream. Nexxoss Gaming will set off for the Leviathan with their fireteam at 7:00 PM to face the new cabal threat. We are embedding their Twitch stream here:
2nd Raid Lair “Spire of Stars” – What is known so far?
Location and Enemies: While not much is known yet about the new raid lair, judging by the official image and the English name “Spire of Stars”, the raid appears to take place at the high spire on the back of the Leviathan, surrounded by star-like objects.
The raid scenes from the launch trailer for the Warmind DLC confirm a battle on the back of the Leviathan. And from the available footage, it does indeed seem that we will be facing the Cabal again.
Detail-oriented fans even expect a story twist there. The displayed Cabal enemies visually resemble the Red Legion, according to their view, and not the usual Calus troops.
The Red Legion and the Calus troops are known to be hostile to each other. Incoming Cabal ships in the background strengthen the suspicion that there could be conflict among the space turtles.
Recently surfaced data mining results also suggest that the Guardians will once again encounter Emperor Calus. However, this time it seems that we will have to protect him from an attack by Ghaul’s Red Legion. A previously unknown Cabal figure named Cau’ul is reportedly leading an attack against the Leviathan, intending to dethrone Calus.
It is not clear if Cau’ul is also the new final boss of the new raid passage. However, the suspicion seems very close at hand.
Rewards: There is no official statement regarding the rewards yet. However, they can already be found in the databases of Destiny 2. This includes the pistol “Last of the Legion”,
the fusion rifle “Emperor’s envy”,
the new shader “Calus’ Shadow”
as well as new armor ornaments.
Power Level: Both the loot from the Leviathan raids and that of the World Eater lair will drop with the release of DLC II up to a power level of 380. This will make it possible to reach the new power level cap just by playing the old raid passages.
The new raid lair “Spire of Stars” is therefore not a strict requirement to reach the new maximum power level. The power level requirement for the previous raid parts will not be raised either, so players who do not purchase DLC 2 will not be excluded from the already paid raid content, as was initially the case with Curse of Osiris.
What about you? Will you be there at the start? Or are you just going to check it out in the stream?
