That’s currently the fastest means of reaching the 1,200 power level soft cap. So, how exactly did I go about Destiny 2: Beyond Light‘s grind? Well, given that the power level requirements in Europa’s missions kept getting higher and higher, I decided to farm in the Hellmouth instead. That leads to a lot of unnecessary back and forth. Frustratingly, though, most of Destiny 2: Beyond Light‘s campaign missions take place in the northern region. That’s because Europa has but two fast travel points, both of which are at the southern tip of the map. Oddly enough, it seems Bungie wants players to fully immerse themselves in Europa’s harshness and beauty. Again, Destiny 2‘s visuals, art, and level design remain top-notch and Europa is bound to wow you for the first couple of hours as you explore it. Snow-capped hills, freezing temperatures, ruined facilities, and blizzards that give zero visibility make this destination quite immersive and picture-perfect.

This misguided Fallen leader of House Salvation seeks to use Darkness to empower her remaining people. The wayward Eliksni is on Jupiter’s frozen moon of Europa, and he ends up in the clutches of Eramis. Unfortunately, there are already so many problems that it’s going to be an uphill climb for Bungie.ĭestiny 2: Beyond Light‘s campaign starts off with a recounting of events that brought you to this moment: the arrival of the Darkness’ Pyramid ships, the loss of contact in various planets, the machinations of Savathun, and a distress call from none other than Variks. There might be new additions in the coming weeks or once the raid, Deep Stone Crypt, goes live. Truth be told, it’s too early to tell given that we’re only in the first week of Beyond Light‘s release. The question, however, is if this whole thing is worthwhile. After a short delay, Guardians are finally be able to set foot on Europa, learn more about its secrets, and harness a form of the Darkness via an element known as Stasis. It’s another year and here comes another Destiny 2 expansion, Beyond Light.
