History of Ritual of Negation

Overview

The Ritual of Negation is the Templar's periodic wipe attack in the Vault of Glass encounter. Guardians affected by Mark of Negation die when the ritual resolves, so marked players must cleanse at the central pool of light or use the Relic's cleanse before the cast completes. In Destiny 2, the Templar encounter also repeats Oracle sequences; destroying them in order prevents the mark caused by missed Oracles.
