Deep Stone Crypt Raid Guide

This is a text-only field guide for Standard Deep Stone Crypt. Every location, observer frame, mechanic, route decision, and assignment required for execution is written in prose or a semantic table. Each encounter follows the same pattern: objective, orientation, roles, numbered walkthrough, failure and recovery notes, loadout philosophy, weekly Challenge, permanent encounter Triumph, and quick reference.

Recommended communication discipline

Before the first pull

• Assign Player 1 through Player 6 and keep those labels for every rotation table.
• Decide whether the run is a normal clear, weekly Challenge attempt, permanent Triumph attempt, or collectible run.
• Read the exact modifier or Triumph text in the Director or Journey screen before committing to a restricted strategy.
• Pick one Security panel convention, one Descent bin convention, and one Taniks zone convention. Do not rename positions mid-encounter.
• Assign one person to track hidden chests, five Exo Stranger logs, and Triumph completion messages.

Deep Stone Crypt teaches three reusable augments. Their colors help recognition, but every call in this guide also names the augment so no instruction depends on color alone.

The three augments

Terminals, dropped augments, and deactivation

Augment terminals form one linked network inside an encounter. Banking an augment at one terminal makes it available at another live terminal. A Guardian may hold only one augment at a time.

Sentinel Servitors disable nearby terminals. Kill the Servitor before a critical transfer. If an augment holder dies, the augment drops as a pickup; call its location and recover it. If an augment is lost entirely, the appropriate Vandal can respawn with a replacement.

During Descent and Taniks, the third Suppressor hit opens the nuclear-core bins and randomly deactivates one active augment. The disabled holder should bank it immediately. Another Guardian takes it while the former holder waits out Augment Lockout, usually about 45 seconds. The HUD timer is authoritative.

Shared lethal timers

Challenge vocabulary

Deep Stone Crypt has four rotating encounter Challenges and four permanent encounter complications.

The opening traversal teaches Frostbite and Shelter From the Storm. The team moves between heat bubbles, clears each checkpoint, and reaches the Crypt entrance. Pikes are required only for Not a Scratch; Sparrows work for an ordinary clear.

Route convention

The game does not number the heat bubbles. This guide calls the starting bubble 1 and the final bubble 7, producing six travel legs. Some references report a different shelter count because they omit the starting bubble or count only intermediate checkpoints. Use the landmark chain, not the number alone.

Roles

Standard walkthrough

1. Clear the starting bubble and wait for the full fireteam. The route caller identifies the first lamp chain before anyone enters the storm.

2. Cross one leg at a time. Outside shelter, Frostbite accumulates; at x10 the Guardian dies. Enter the bubble and wait for Shelter From the Storm to remove the stacks before leaving again.

3. Clear enemies inside or immediately around each shelter. A cleared bubble is both a safe regroup point and a transmat checkpoint back to the previous shelter.

4. Follow the ordered landmark table. Mines and lamps trace the intended lane, but the whiteout can hide the next turn. Keep the route caller in front and the rescue player last.

5. Before the final drop, collect Hidden Chest 1 if desired. Then enter the final shelter, kill both Brigs and the remaining Fallen, and confirm any Pike Triumph attempt before opening the Crypt route.

Hidden Chest 1

Near the end of the 6-to-7 leg, the route reaches a ledge above the final bubble. Before dropping into that bubble, move onto the ice-and-rock ledges on the right side of the approach while facing the Crypt entrance. Follow the short ledge chain around the iceberg to the chest alcove, loot it, then return to the final-bubble route.

Permanent Triumph - Not a Scratch

Bring all six starting Pikes to the final heat bubble. The safest method is to clear the route once, then relay Pikes forward while the route remains quiet. A destroyed Pike can respawn at an earlier checkpoint, so destruction does not automatically invalidate the attempt.

At the final bubble, assemble a full six-Guardian fireteam and have every Guardian mount a different Pike until the Triumph registers. Bungie's record requires all Pikes at the final bubble; the simultaneous six-player mounting step is a well-established community registration method.

Loadout philosophy

Prioritize movement, self-sustain, and reliable long-range add clear. A burst option for the final Brigs helps, but survival between bubbles matters more than boss damage.

Quick reference

Scanner identifies four correct basement panels through the upper-floor windows. Operator enters the basement and shoots those panels before the purge timer expires. The augments then swap: basement Scanner reads the fuse indicators, and the upper teams destroy only the called fuse cylinders.

Orientation and panel convention

From the entrance or rally position facing into the room, Dark is left and Light is right. The halves are separated by the fuse bank and center structure. Stand on either upper side facing the center divider. Call that team's three fuse cylinders Left, Middle, and Right from that team's own viewpoint.

There is no universal community panel numbering. The recommended guide convention below follows the supplied room reference. Each side has four observation windows that reveal five physically separate basement targets; the upper window reveals two targets. Define the convention before the pull and keep the side name with every number.

Basement Operator landmarks

From the basement entrance facing the fuse-indicator ring, use these physical targets. The Scanner's upper/lower view for 4 and 5 does not mean those controls are vertically stacked in the basement.

Fuse translation

The basement view is mirrored relative to the upper teams. Scanner below should translate the glowing indicator into the upstairs team's viewpoint rather than calling their own apparent left or right.

Roles

Standard walkthrough

1. Split three Light and three Dark. Confirm the panel convention and the six fuse names. Retrieve Operator from the augmentation terminal to start the encounter, then enter through the rear access and drop into the basement. Kill the Scanner Vandal upstairs and take Scanner.

2. Scanner reads one side through the floor windows and calls its two glowing panels. Operator repeats the call and shoots only those two red controls below.

3. Move Scanner to the opposite side through the open center route or through the planned terminal. Kill any Sentinel Servitor disabling that terminal. Scanner calls the other two panels; Operator repeats and shoots them.

4. The basement fire timer is roughly 60 seconds from entry. A wrong panel or expired timer starts the purge. After the fourth correct panel, Operator banks Operator and an upstairs Guardian takes it. Upstairs Scanner banks Scanner, and the basement player takes it. The basement terminal holds one augment at a time, so make the exchange in that order.

5. Basement Scanner inspects the six fuse indicators and calls one fuse at a time using the upstairs team's perspective. The matching upper team destroys only that cylinder. Incidental splash, autonomous damage effects, and uncontrolled area damage can hit a wrong fuse, so use deliberate fire.

6. Continue until the damage window ends, usually after about 40 seconds, or until all six fuses are destroyed. Damaging the wrong fuse wipes the team.

7. If fuses remain, the upper Operator opens the basement exit. Extract the basement player before the next purge, return Operator for the next panel cycle, and repeat with the new four-panel pattern.

Failure states and recovery

Weekly Challenge - Red Rover

Across three panel cycles, every Guardian must enter the basement as Operator and personally shoot two correct panels. Use two Operators per cycle and preserve enough fuses to force all three cycles.

The first Operator shoots the assigned two panels, banks Operator through the basement terminal, and exits or waits in the safe exchange area while the second Operator takes it and shoots the final two. No player shoots a third panel, and the team does not finish Security before all six players have completed their two.

Permanent Triumph - Resource Contention

Shut down Crypt Security while using only two of the three augmentation terminals. Designate the basement terminal and exactly one upstairs terminal. Physically move Scanner between Light and Dark through the Operator-controlled corridor, then use the chosen upper terminal for the basement exchange. Nobody interacts with the third terminal.

Loadout philosophy

Use a precise, low-splash weapon for panels and fuse control. Bring strong Major clear for Overload Captains and Sentinel Servitors plus short-window burst for fuses. Keep explosive and autonomous damage away from uncalled cylinders.

Quick reference

Atraks divides the fireteam between the Crypt below and the Morning Star in space. Scanner identifies the correct Atraks copy during Replicated Ruin. Operator controls the Replication orbs left by successful interruptions and uses the orbital airlocks to vent them on a normal clear.

Orientation and copy calls

Each floor has four Atraks copies, but the two rooms are not matching near/far grids. Use one fixed semantic set per floor. Scanner should stand where the full floor is visible and point or move toward the marked copy while speaking.

The spatial term is always spoken; the color is only a familiar room alias and is never the sole call. There is no universal 1-4 numbering, so bare numbers are not used.

The Morning Star has four airlocks. From the pod bank facing the outer airlock wall, call them Left Near, Left Far, Right Near, and Right Far. Operator announces the full position before any Replication timer becomes urgent.

Roles

Replication lifecycle

Standard walkthrough

1. Split three and three. Operator starts in the Crypt; Scanner starts on the Morning Star. Use the pods to move the intended players and make sure at least one pod remains available for a Ground carrier.

2. Kill all six Sentinel Servitors, three per floor. They block the augment terminals while alive. Both floors call "three down" before anyone commits to damage.

3. The first Replicated Ruin occurs on the Morning Star. Scanner identifies the yellow-glowing copy, gives a complete location call, and the Space team bursts only that copy enough to interrupt the cast.

4. The defeated copy drops Replication. The assigned carrier picks it up. Scanner is banked immediately for the Ground team; Replication management must not delay the transfer.

5. Ground Scanner calls the correct lower copy. The Ground team bursts it, its assigned carrier picks up Replication, and the carrier rides a pod to the Morning Star. Bank Scanner back to Space for the next interruption.

6. Space Operator opens a currently active airlock for each carrier by shooting its red panel. The carrier enters alone, Operator shoots the orb off, and the carrier exits immediately. The door closes automatically and vents the orb. A used airlock does not reactivate until two other airlocks have opened, so confirm the next red panel before assigning a destination. Never leave a Guardian inside.

7. Repeat the Space and Ground interruptions. Damage output determines how many cycles are required; do not assume an exact number of Replications before final stand.

8. At final stand, every Atraks copy appears on the Morning Star. Regroup there. Scanner rapidly calls the glowing copy, the team bursts it, and then follows the next call until Atraks dies.

Failure states and recovery

Weekly Challenge - Copies of Copies

Defeat Atraks without venting any Replication through an airlock. Operator repeatedly shoots each orb off its carrier before expiry, and a player immediately picks it up again. Every accumulated orb remains in play until Atraks dies.

Use four labeled carriers and one timer caller per orb: "Copy 1 at 15; Copy 2 at 25." Keep carriers in an open orbital area where Operator has line of sight. Do not enter or open an airlock during this Challenge. At final stand, prioritize Scanner's target while Operator continues resetting the stored orbs.

Permanent Triumph - 5 Seconds to Paradise

Destroy all six Sentinel Servitors within five seconds of one another. Each floor assigns one Guardian per Servitor, lowers all three to a safe health threshold without splash, and reports ready. One caller counts down; all six die inside the same five-second window. Repeat the synchronized kill for every later Servitor wave; reaching final stand in one cycle avoids that additional failure point.

Loadout philosophy

Bring fast close-range burst for the marked copy, mobility between terminals and pods, and reliable ranged damage for Servitors. Keep uncontrolled area damage away from unmarked copies and weakened Servitors during the Triumph.

Quick reference

The orbital spacewalk is a traversal section, not a shared-timer encounter. Clear enemies before committing to long jumps and regroup at every broad landing or doorway. Do not use Descent for this section; that name belongs to the nuclear-disarm encounter after re-entry.

Ordered traversal

1. After Atraks dies, take the open upper exit and follow the long interior corridors to the exterior airlock. Regroup before anyone steps outside.

2. Exit onto the first narrow platforms beneath the station. Clear the nearby Shanks from the doorway, then follow the metal landing chain toward the next broad platform. Keep the next landing in view before each jump.

3. Cross the large exterior gap. Immediately beyond that crossing, Log 3 is on the hanging platform below the upward route. Drop to it, interact, return to the same landing, and then climb upward with the main path.

4. Continue around the hull until the turbine or windmill-blade section. At the junction, the brighter route continuing right and upward is the main path. The left, red-lit route descends to Hidden Chest 2 and returns to this same junction.

5. After the chest branch rejoins, continue upward across the exterior catwalks. Clear Shanks and shielded Fallen from stable platforms before crossing their firing lanes, then follow the route into the second hangar.

6. In the second hangar, face the exit airlock. Log 4 is below on the lowest circular platform to the left of that approach. Drop to the platform, interact, climb back to the airlock route, and continue outside.

7. Near the final ascent, remain on the broad platform while the Fallen Ketch deploys Shanks. Clear them, climb to the re-entry platform, defeat both Brigs and their guards, then enter the airlock. The interior route leads to the long white room containing Log 5 and then to Descent.

Hidden Chest 2

Traveling from Atraks toward re-entry, face forward at the turbine or large-fan junction. Before taking the brighter main route to the right and upward, take the left, red-lit divergence and descend onto the small platforms beneath the main route. Follow them into the chest alcove, loot it, then climb back to the same junction and resume the brighter path.

Rock Bottom - all five Exo Stranger logs

The five logs occur across the entire raid route, not only in the spacewalk. Interact with each datapad and confirm its named objective in the Triumph tracker.

Rock Bottom awards the No Love Lost Exotic Ghost Shell. A missed log can be collected on a later run; the tracker records each one independently.

Traversal quick reference

The fireteam disarms the Morning Star while Taniks interferes. Scanner identifies valid deposit bins, Operator prevents a third core from spawning, and Suppressor opens the bins by completing a three-drone route. The encounter has six nuclear-core waves.

Orientation and callout convention

Stand at rally facing the large window. The side nearest rally is Spawn; the far side is Window. Name the four deposit bins by side and left/right from this observer frame.

The valid pair can be diagonal. Always call the full position names; local sources conflict on 1-4 numbering, so this guide does not use bin numbers.

From rally facing the window, call the four core dispensers Outer Left, Inner Left, Inner Right, and Outer Right. These names belong only to dispensers; deposit bins retain Spawn/Window plus Left/Right.

The three Suppressor drones are Left, Center, Right from rally facing the window. Suppressor must stand within the active circle beneath each drone and hit Taniks once from all three positions.

Roles

Standard walkthrough

1. Confirm the four bin names, four dispenser names, and three drone names. Assign Scanner, Operator, Suppressor, two primary carriers, and one rescue carrier.

2. When three dispensers begin charging, Operator shoots the red control on one active dispenser. The disabled station closes, leaving two cores to spawn.

3. Scanner identifies the two highlighted deposit bins and calls the full names. Assign one carrier to each destination before pickup.

4. Suppressor moves beneath Left, Center, and Right active drones and shoots Taniks once from each circle. The third successful hit stuns him, opens the bins, and deactivates one active augment.

5. Carriers deposit in Scanner's bins before Radiation reaches x10. If a carrier becomes unsafe, a teammate takes the core with the interact prompt and continues to the same destination.

6. Identify the deactivated augment from the HUD, bank it immediately, and have the next assigned Guardian retrieve it. The former holder waits out Augment Lockout.

7. Repeat for six waves. The encounter display gains one green indicator for each successful disarm cycle.

8. After the sixth wave, the center hatch opens. Stop fighting unnecessary enemies and sprint through the route to the safe room. At least one Guardian reaching safety completes the encounter; flawless still requires everyone to survive.

Failure states and recovery

Weekly Challenge - Of All Trades

Across six waves, every Guardian must successfully perform Scanner, Operator, and Suppressor exactly once. Rotate all three augments after every wave, including augments that were not deactivated. A role counts only when that Guardian performs its mechanic for the wave.

Read the next row before the current cores are deposited. After deposit, all three holders bank their augments and the next three players take them. Do not improvise a substitute who has already completed that role.

Permanent Triumph - Short Circuit

Allow only one Guardian to deposit nuclear cores during the entire encounter. Designate one depositor for all twelve insertions across six waves. Other players may carry cores and hand them off, but nobody else interacts with a deposit bin.

The dedicated depositor waits near the called bins. Each carrier brings a core within handoff range, calls Radiation, and passes it. The depositor inserts the first, takes the second handoff, and inserts the second. The dedicated depositor should not also be Suppressor because both jobs require movement during the same window.

Loadout philosophy

Prioritize sustained add clear, fast Major deletion, and movement. A precise weapon helps remove augment Vandals without losing control of a core lane. No boss-damage loadout is needed.

Quick reference

Taniks combines all three augments with nuclear-core delivery. Break thrusters to create cores, use Scanner to identify valid bins, use Operator to release detained players, and use Suppressor to open the bins. Four successful core deposits create the damage phase.

Zone and bin convention

Use the permanent color or landmark name first. While standing near arena center facing a zone, that zone's bins are Left and Right.

Local references assign incompatible 1-6 systems to these zones. Use only the zone and side - for example, "Orange Right" - so a number translation cannot wipe the team.

Each zone also has three Suppressor drones. From center facing the active zone, call them Left, Center, Right. Suppressor shoots Taniks once from beneath each active drone in the zone he currently occupies.

Roles

Standard two-core walkthrough

1. Acquire all three augments and assign two primary carriers plus one rescue carrier. Confirm the six zone-and-side bin calls.

2. Follow Taniks to White, Blue, or Orange. When he exposes four thrusters, destroy two before Turbulent Detonation completes. Each destroyed thruster drops one core.

3. Scanner calls the two highlighted bins and assigns one carrier to each. Carriers pick up only after hearing a destination.

4. Taniks traps players in purple detention bubbles. Operator remains outside, shoots each bubble, and calls "all clear" when every current detention is broken.

5. Suppressor completes the first two drone hits but holds the third until Operator confirms all detentions are clear. The third hit stuns Taniks, opens the bins, and randomly deactivates an augment.

6. Carriers deposit before Radiation reaches x10. Pass with interact if necessary. Bank the deactivated augment and assign a replacement holder.

7. Repeat the two-core delivery. Four total deposits begin damage.

8. Enter the debris ring through a safe opening and stand in the band between the lethal inner Arc field and the moving outer debris. Damage Taniks until the knockback, re-enter the same safe band, and continue until the shield closes.

9. Repeat core delivery and damage if needed. At the final health-bar divider, Taniks begins a limited final stand and teleports between zones. Follow him, maintain damage, and use survivability without relying on a fixed teleport count.

Four-core strategy

Break all four thrusters during the same core phase. The four valid bins are both bins in the two zones Taniks is not occupying. Assign four carriers before pickup; Operator and Suppressor remain unencumbered.

Operator clears every detention. Suppressor holds the third shot until all carriers are free and positioned. Deposit all four cores to begin a longer damage phase. Scanner is not required to discover the four valid bins under this rule, but may remain active as backup.

Failure states and recovery

Weekly Challenge - The Core Four

Before every damage phase, break all four thrusters and deposit all four nuclear cores in the same delivery. Use four carriers and send each core to one of the four bins outside Taniks's current zone. Depositing only two cores at any point fails the Challenge; if another damage phase is required, repeat the four-core procedure.

Permanent Triumph - Ready, Set, Go!

Activate pairs of conduit nodes within five seconds of one another. Treat a successful core deposit as a conduit-node activation.

With the standard two-core strategy, both carriers wait at their bins and deposit from one countdown inside five seconds. With four cores, the safest interpretation is to deposit all four inside one five-second window, which guarantees both conduit pairs satisfy the condition.

Loadout philosophy

Use controlled burst for thrusters, reliable sustained damage for the debris ring, and enough add clear to protect carriers. Coordinate one team damage plan rather than mixing incompatible ranges or buff positions. Suppressor and Operator must preserve line of sight for mechanics even if that slightly reduces their personal damage.

Quick reference

Deep Stone Crypt's live reward state changed substantially in 2026. The raid now participates in the tiered raid-and-dungeon reward system. Featured status affects armor tier, Deepsight frequency, and farmability; it does not create a Master Deep Stone Crypt node.

Current featured and nonfeatured rewards

Legendary weapons and crafting

All six Legendary raid weapons are craftable. Each live Pattern objective requires five pattern extractions. Update 9.7.0 refreshed their perk pools, and crafted raid weapons can be upgraded through the tier system to Tier 5.

Cache of the Crypt

The Cache of the Crypt appears after Taniks. It sells previously obtained raid weapons for Spoils of Conquest and provides one selected Deepsight weapon purchase per week. Deep Stone Crypt pattern progress comes from raid drops and this post-Taniks Cache route; Hawthorne's 2026 weekly Deepsight pursuit is not a Deep Stone Crypt pattern source.

Before buying, confirm the weapon, Deepsight marker, weekly state, and Spoils cost in the live vendor. Do not assume a repeat purchase carries the weekly Deepsight benefit.

Current armor and legacy raid mods

Current tiered Legacy's Oath armor uses set bonuses and has no activity-specific raid-mod socket.

The older Deep Stone Crypt raid mods still exist, but they require legacy Armor 2.0 versions of the raid armor with the old raid-mod slot. After acquiring a legacy piece, Hawthorne can focus high-stat legacy Armor 2.0 versions for 10 Spoils each. Do not expect a current Tier 3 or Tier 5 armor drop to accept these mods.

Eyes of Tomorrow and its catalyst

Eyes of Tomorrow is the Exotic Solar Rocket Launcher from the Taniks final encounter. Its weapon drop is random. The current catalyst requires 400 target defeats and grants both Demolitionist and Blast Distributor.

Current independent catalyst documentation places the random catalyst drop at the Deep Stone Crypt final boss. Bungie's live catalyst record gives only the broader source "found in either a raid or a dungeon," so the live Collections source should be treated as authoritative if a later update changes the route.

Official Eyes drop-rate boosts

The listed maximum from these records is +14. A boost improves the Exotic drop chance; it does not guarantee Eyes of Tomorrow.

The live Descendant title contains exactly 19 records. Strand and Prismatic runs are not part of this title. Use the requested base subclass for elemental records rather than assuming a matching Prismatic Super qualifies.

Key record rewards

Optional or historical records

The Deep Stone Crypt collection badge includes the six Legendary weapons, Eyes of Tomorrow, five class armor pieces, Crypt Reawakened, Cryptic Insignia, Retrocausality, and No Love Lost. The flawless shader is not required for the badge or title.

Fill this before launch. Use the same player labels in voice chat, the Discord edition, and every rotation table.

Challenge-night checks

Pre-pull checklist

• Every observer frame and position name is defined.
• Scanner, Operator, and Suppressor know their first pickup and next receiver.
• Challenge rotations are written and will not be improvised.
• The team has one Atraks burst plan and one Taniks damage plan.
• One player owns each lethal countdown; everyone else reports only status and destination.
• The tracker confirms which hidden chests, logs, title records, and Eyes boosts remain.

Mechanics, current activity state, rewards, records, and catalyst information were reviewed July 31, 2026. Bungie does not publish a complete encounter manual, so stable execution rules were cross-checked across independently owned references. Local guide copies and visual assets were treated as one reference family and never counted as independent corroboration.

Material conflict resolutions

Maintenance boundaries

• Update the reward section whenever Bungie changes featured rotation rewards, armor tiers, Cache behavior, or crafting.
• Update the catalyst section if the live Collections source becomes more specific or its acquisition changes.
• Preserve function-based loadout language; do not hard-code a temporary damage meta into the mechanics manuscript.
• Keep the release text-only. Research maps may inform spatial wording, but no map, diagram, screenshot, figure reference, or instruction dependent on a missing visual belongs in any release edition.
