History of Desolation

Overview

Desolation is the opening section of the Deep Stone Crypt raid on Europa. The fireteam is transmatted to the Eventide Ruins, clears a Fallen-held building, and enters a tunnel that leads to a blizzard area.

Crossing the blizzard

The blizzard inflicts Frostbite stacks, which are cleared by standing in heat bubbles. The first bubble holds six Fallen Pikes that players can ride across the area, and Sparrows also work. Visibility is limited, so players navigate between bubbles using web mines and lights. Fallen groups guard most of the bubbles.

Retrocausality

The Retrocausality Sparrow is a triumph reward. To earn it, the team must bring all the Fallen Pikes from the starting heat bubble to the final one in Desolation. It can only be completed with a full fireteam.
