Overview

Defiant Battleground: Cosmodrome is one of the three Defiant Battlegrounds (with Defiant Battleground: EDZ and Defiant Battleground: Orbital Prison), a Season of Defiance / Destiny 2: Lightfall activity in the Cosmodrome. A Shadow Legion Pyramid outpost holds recently captured prisoners. Launch it from the Cosmodrome destination map, or via the Battlegrounds playlist at the H.E.L.M.; requires the Lightfall Ascendant Scepter.

Encounters

Cross the Dry Sea, open portals to the Ascendant Plane, and collect Taken Essences to clear obstacles. The boss is Zatocc, Devoted to the Witness: ignite nearby Balefire, kill Ravenous Taken for essence, consecrate two essences at the Balefire to make an orb, and throw it at Zatocc to make him vulnerable. This repeats as he retreats to the Ascendant Plane.
