Endgame Activity

The Legend of Osiris

Osiris is a legendary Warlock and former Vanguard Commander who was exiled from The Last City due to his obsession with the Vex. During his exile, Osiris continued his research on the Vex and discovered the Infinite Forest on Mercury, which he proceeded to explore to thwart the Vex’s plans for the Solar System.

After being aided by The Guardian and Ikora Rey in stopping Panoptes, Infinite Mind, Osiris reestablished connections with the Last City and continued exploring the Infinite Forest while seeking the means to save Saint-14 from his death within the Vex machine. After succeeding in saving his partner with the use of the Sundial, Osiris and his Ghost, Sagira, departed Mercury to gather allies and information about a dark future he saw approaching the solar system.

Most recently, Osiris had a close encounter with a Hive God’s High Celebrant which eventually led to the death of Sagira. Since then, he has been aiding the Tower with the current conflicts with the Wrathborn, the Empress of the Cabal, and the Endless Night. Or has he…

Trials of Osiris: Competitive PvP Event

Trials of Osiris is the highest tier of PvP content that is available every weekend. Two fireteams of 3 face each other in an elimination-style match with the objective to achieve a Flawless Run, a seven-game win streak. Going “flawless” will grant passage to the Simulated Lighthouse, a location dedicated to the winners of the event that will reward Pinnacle Loot, Ascendant Materials, and Adept Weapons/Mods. To get started, visit Saint-XIV in the Tower Hanger who is now overseeing the event.

Scheduling and Pre-Requisites

When live, Trials of Osiris is available from Friday at Daily Reset through Tuesday until Weekly Reset occurs. There are, however, times where Trials of Osiris will not be active:

1st Week of a Season/Expansion Launch
Raid World First Event
Iron Banner

With this event being a highly competitive PvP Event, there are certain pre-requisites required in order to access this event:

Trials of Osiris now requires the latest annual expansion. For Season 15, this would be Beyond Light until Witch Queen launches in February 2022.
Your Guardian must complete an introduction quest.
Power Level matters. you must be at the soft cap (1260) in order to enter.

Getting Started

Choose your Passage!

To gain access to the Trials of Osiris, you must first purchase a Trials Passage by visiting Saint-XIV in the Tower Hanger. Trials Passages cost 10,000 Glimmer. Scroll down to the Trials Passage section to learn more about the types of Passages you can purchase.

Objective & Map Rotation

Trials of Osiris is a 3v3 Elimination activity. Players face off in 5 rounds per match, with each round lasting up to 90 seconds or until the opposing team is wiped out. The team to win 5 rounds wins the match. Doing this 7 times without losing a single match will allow your team to visit the Simulated Lighthouse, an exclusive social space set on a Simulated Mercury that has rewards waiting for Guardians worthy enough to get there.

Every weekend, one dedicated Crucible arena will be the featured destination that you will fight in.

Reputation & Rewards

Like Lord Shaxx and the other core vendors, Saint-XIV now has a reputation ranking system that can be progressed through winning rounds.

Reputation is gained at the end of a match and is based on the number of rounds won on your ticket.
Ranking up will provide a Trials Engram:
- Trials engrams decrypt into a random selection from current armour and non-adept weapons.
  - You do not need to unlock a piece of armour or weapon before it shows up in the engram.
- You can focus your engrams at Saint-XIV to decrypt specific items that you have already received.
  - Flawless Adept Weapons can also be focused but do note that it is quite expensive.
Powerful Trials engrams will show up at every three rank-ups before your first reset of the Season.
In addition to traditional rewards offered through the rank-up system, unique Trials weapons can be unlocked at Rank 10 and Rank 16 for each of the first three resets of the Season.

For Guardians wishing to progress their Power Level, Saint-XIV offers two Pinnacle Rewards from completing the following objectives in Trials of Osiris:

Win 7 Matches total on a given weekend.
Win 50 Rounds.

Adept Weapons

When your team goes flawless, you gain access to the Lighthouse Chest. You will receive an Adept Trials Weapon, a unique weapon that can utilize Adept Mods, a series of mods that can further enhance the capabilities of your weapon, and an Ascendant Shard. In addition, masterworking adept weapons provide an additional boost to all weapon stats.

Adept mods can be acquired from Trials of Osiris Flawless Chests and Grandmaster Nightfalls. Visit our Weapon Mods page for more details on what mods are available for these weapons!

Trials Passages

Passages are your entry card into the Trials of Osiris event. Guardians can purchase one of 5 different passages that grant unique bonuses. To purchase a Passage, visit Saint-XIV in the Tower Hangar.

With Season 15, there are some changes to the Passage system:

Passages no longer track losses – a Passage is either Flawless or not.
- This allows you to keep playing and earning match and round wins for rewards.
- Players may continue to reset their passages after a loss but are no longer forced to after three losses total.
Passages track up to 20 rounds won.
Passages have been re-ordered (Mercy is not super useful unless you are trying to go Flawless) and have all had their prices significantly reduced.
Passages are now account-wide.
- You can play and earn rewards on any of your characters on the same Passage.

With zero losses, this passage grants a bonus win after your third win.

This passage increases trials rank reputation gains from reaching 3, 5, and 7 wins on a ticket.

This passage grants bonus XP from Trials wins, scaling with the number of wins on a ticket.

This passage grants bonus rewards from the Flawless Chest.

This passage forgives one loss per run. This passage is recommended for teams aiming to go Flawless.

Technical Details

Matchmaking

Accessibility

Trials now allow queuing and matchmaking without a full fireteam:

- Design Philosophy: To allow more players to try the mode out and start earning rewards, even if they don’t have a fireteam.
- You can enter the playlist solo or with a friend, and matchmaking will fill the rest of your fireteam for you!
- Freelance Trials (No pre-made fireteams, solos only) will also be available via Labs at a later date in Season 15.

Matchmaking Algorithm

In Season 15, there has been some changes to how matchmaking selects your opponents:

- You now start matchmaking with players that have the same number of wins on the card and with similar Trials game performance of the given week.
  - Bungie will be observing this change and will fine-tune over the Season and beyond to balance match quality vs matchmaking time.
- If matchmaking takes too long, it widens the ‘similarity’ check until it finds enough opponents for the match to start.

Security Updates

There has been a list of updates to the Destiny 2 Security Policy. With Bungie’s goal of increasing the Trials population, they are also looking to protect players, the competitive environment of Trials, and its rewards. The article covers the following:

BattlEye Anti-Cheat
Initiatives outside of the digital realm
Win Trading
Account Recoveries

Crucible Labs: Trials of Osiris

Over the course of Season 15, Bungie will be running a number of Trials of Osiris Labs weekends, where they will test out targeted changes and collect analytics and feedback from Guardians playing the activity! They will generally take over the entire mode for the weekend, so we can get as many players in as possible.

There are three Labs planned for Season 15:

Capture/Elimination Hybrid
- - One capture point activates 30 seconds after each round starts, with an extended capture timer.
  - The capture location changes each round, as do spawn locations.
  - Capturing it wins the round, or you can always just eliminate the other team.
  - The design change for this is to help further curb round stalling and has made matches during internal playtesting much more dynamic.

Trials Freelance
- - A separate node from the main Trials activity, where only solo players can queue.
  - While Bungie believes this is the right change in a vacuum, they aren’t sure if splitting Trials into two matchmaking pools will deliver low matchmaking times and high-quality play in both pools at the same time.
