History of Altar of Reflection: Insight

Overview

Altar of Reflection: Insight is one of four Altars of Reflection activities in Savathûn's Throne World, added with Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. It revisits the memory linked to the Tablet of Ruin. The entry point is deep within the Sepulcher Lost Sector. It is a Story-type activity that can be played during and after the campaign; the four altars rotate in the Director.

Encounters and mechanics

Each altar follows the same pattern: solve a rune puzzle (either a rune pattern puzzle, where you shoot the columns whose runes do not match the rest, or a Cursed Pool puzzle, where you stand under the matching symbols), defeat a group of Lucent Hive including a Lightbearer Hive Archivist and an Ultra, then interact with the altar to view a memory fragment of Savathûn.

Rewards

The weekly altar quests grant Powerful gear. The memory of Savathûn is the main payoff of the story.
