History of Waking Ruins

Overview

The Waking Ruins is a public area on Venus, in Ishtar Sink, that holds the entrance to the Vault of Glass raid. It first appeared in Destiny, returned in House of Wolves and The Taken King, and in Destiny 2 reappeared in Season of the Splicer as the first stage of the revamped raid.

Location

The area has three patrol beacons. Vex and the Fallen are the hostile races here. It connects to the Trial of Kabr, the raid's second stage, through a gateway opened with a Spire.

Vault of Glass

Players clear the Waking Ruins, complete the Spire, and then enter the Vault of Glass. Destinypedia lists the Season of the Splicer return as a non-canon appearance, and the raid went live on May 22, 2021.
