In the MMO shooter Destiny , a new PvP event, the Trials of Osiris, will be introduced with the next DLC “House of Wolves.” What is already known about it?
The PvP event Trials of Osiris has long been hidden in the Destiny database. There are many rumors and leaks about it, provided by data miners. Currently, however, we still know very little “confirmed” about the new event.
Most of the information we have is probably hopelessly outdated and refers to the database from the end of last year. In a live stream on Wednesday, April 29th, they plan to officially present the event. But last Wednesday, there was a first glimpse of the vendor in the Reef. What could be gleaned about the Trials of Osiris?
This is what rumors and leaks say
Rumors from data miners speak of a PvP event for the Trials of Osiris, a 3v3 deathmatch. Access is said to be purchasable (via special tournament tickets that can be earned in the Crucible and sometimes purchased with a Light Particle).
Then you compete against other players, and the more you win, the better the rewards you can reap. As rewards, among other things, these weapons were discussed, and the exotic scout rifle “Fate of All Fools” was also linked to the Trials of Osiris event.
If you lose too often (three times), you are out of the tournament. The event is said to take place on Mercury, and there is also a “Social Space” directly associated with it. The level advantages are active as in the Iron Banner, and there are “weekly rewards.”
What Bungie has confirmed so far / what was seen in the live stream
And what do we officially know? Amazingly little. We actually received a picture of new class-specific gear. It is supposed to transform us into “Egyptian Kings” (see title image). Furthermore, officially, it is known that the activity will be a “competitive elimination mode.”
The duration of the event is also confirmed: It is said to start every Friday when Xur arrives and end on the weekly reset, on Tuesday at 11:00 AM. In addition, “Etheric Lights” are also said to drop here, which are needed to upgrade legendary weapons and armor to the HoW maximum values of 42 and 365.
Then we were able to catch a brief glimpse of the corresponding vendor, “Brother Vance,” in the live stream for the Reef. And a screencaptor actually captured images of his inventory.
It seems that he has four different rewards available that operate on the “Engram” principle. Of the 4 rewards, there is only one screenshot for the first. It says you can buy the Stone-Tier reward for 100 Glimmer if you achieve 2 wins in a single passage. By the way, nothing has been seen so far about reputation.
Speculations based on the screenshots
Now one can speculate and say: It could be that you can buy access to such “boxes”, and the more you win, the better the contents of the box can get.
What can be seen at Brother Vance are 3 “Boons of Osiris” that promise special bonuses. The first, the orange one, is supposed to grant a victory without combat, the red one to erase the first defeat, and the yellow one to double the first victory – (it could also mean only in case you win the first match.)
These boons could imply that it will be important to access the hot prizes and that it won’t be simple.
All these items cost 3 “Passage Coins.” You can also purchase them from Brother Vance, but we do not know the costs. These should be the items needed to participate in the Trials of Osiris. Then the “Boons” would be relatively valuable.
The Open Questions about the Trials of Osiris in Destiny
As you can see: We officially know very little about the Trials of Osiris at the moment. The important questions are:
- Is there a dedicated social space?
- How will access to the Trials of Osiris be purchased?
- Are there direct rewards at the end of a Crucible match in this mode besides the “boxes” from Brother Vance?
- What does the loot table look like? Are the items really tailored for PvP? Can the weapons be reforged like the vendor items?
- Can you participate in the event more than once a week? Or is it all over after elimination?
- How exactly does it work? How many maps are available?
The day after tomorrow, on April 29th, there will be a second live stream from Bungie that specifically focuses on the new event. We will cover it again with a live ticker at mein MMO, just like the last one. In it, these questions should be answered.
The other new big thing with House of Wolves will be a PvE arena: What we know about the raid replacement Prison of Elders
