Destiny 2 - How to open the Vault and form the spire with Vex plates

How to open the Vault and form the spire with Vex plates in Destiny 2

While a lot has changed in Destiny 2's Vault of Glass, this encounter should be one of the most familiar to veterans of Destiny 1's raids. It is virtually unchanged.

To gain access to the Vault of Glass, you and your team will need to build a spire that opens the door. To do that, you will need to spend time standing on plates, uninterrupted by enemies. There are three plates in the arena. One lower down on the left, one in front of the door and a third up on the right.

The Season of the Deep is here alongside the Into the Depths quest. You can know go fishing too! Don't forget to keep an eye on the Lost Sector and King's Fall challenge rotation schedule!

The best way to do this is to split your team into three teams of two. Each group will have a plate which they will look after, doing their best to keep enemies off of it. If enemies touch the plate, progress on the spire will be halted.

However, after enough time of uninterrupted progress on all three plates, the spire will complete and open the door.

That's it. The only thing to really look out for are Cyclops that will periodically spawn and can kill you from a surprising distance. There are also void-shielded Minotaurs that will be a little tough, but keep a close-quarters weapon handy and you'll be fine.

Once the door is open, head into the Vault of Glass, but don't forget your chest that is just left as you open the door. Next up - defend the Confluxes and destroy the Oracles encounters explained
