History of Astral Alignment

Overview

Astral Alignment was the six-player matchmade seasonal activity of Season of the Lost, set in The Dreaming City. Players charge their Wayfinder's Compass, reawaken ancient Ley Lines and then defend the Blind Well against the forces of Xivu Arath. It was launched from the Season of the Lost activity node in the H.E.L.M. or Dreaming City map, with Normal, Legend and customizable variants. Destinypedia lists a recommended Power of 1300 for the standard version; Legend was harder.

Encounters and mechanics

The activity is a four-phase run (per Dexerto's launch-week guide):

1. Clear the room of enemies at the Blind Well, then interact with the device.
2. Kill waves of Taken, collect their Taken Essence and deposit it into nearby Rifts.
3. Carry batteries while Encumbered for 20 seconds, then become Exhausted, so the team must rotate carriers.
4. Fight the boss. In week one this was Kholks; destroy the Pylon, kill the strong enemy it spawns and pick up its Taken Essence to break the boss shield. Destinypedia also lists Sulk'oth, Kholks and Kruutiks, Reefbane as final bosses across the season.

Champions (Unstoppable Phalanx, Overload Chieftain) appear at higher difficulties and need Champion mods.

Rewards

Seasonal weapons and the Eutechnology armor set (see the reward list), plus Seasonal Challenges progress and Season of the Lost artifact XP.
