Deep Stone Crypt: A Guide to Navigating the Raid

The Deep Stone Crypt, one of the most visually stunning Raids in Destiny 2, is also notorious for its complex mechanics and challenging navigation. For this section, we'll be focusing on how to navigate from heat bubble to start the raid, specifically on the icy tundra of Europa.

Upon entering the raid, you'll find yourself in an unforgiving environment with limited visibility. To help you get your bearings, I've created a detailed map that highlights the path to avoid mines and other obstacles. While it's possible to take a more creative approach using cheese strategies, this guide will focus on a safer route.

One essential aspect of navigation is the use of pikes to measure distances and triangulate positions. Take three pikes out and place them at strategic points on the map, then use your sniper rifle to mark the distances. This technique may seem old-school, but it's surprisingly effective in this frozen landscape.

To add an extra layer of precision, I employed the compass feature on my Mida Multi Tool to get direction bearings. This allowed me to maintain a sense of scale and ensure that I was heading in the right direction.

The ultimate goal is to find the Chamber door, which will only open once all six players are inside the raid. To achieve this, you'll need to traverse the frozen terrain via Sparrow and locate the entrance to the Deep Stone Crypt.

Step one of this raid is to endure the harsh conditions while locating the entrance. After spending hours getting lost in the Sparrow encounter, I've put together a map to help fellow directionally challenged guardians like myself navigate this challenging section.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a new player, this guide aims to provide a helpful resource for tackling the Deep Stone Crypt and its many challenges. With patience, persistence, and a solid understanding of navigation techniques, you'll be well on your way to overcoming the obstacles that lie ahead.

Remember to stay safe, stay focused, and above all, enjoy the ride!
