The Witch Queen has introduced a brand-new player experience by offering two versions of the campaign:
Normal Mode: Your traditional campaign mode. Expect your usual mission combat.
Legendary Mode: The Power Level between you and your enemies are scaled, and there are limited revives and modifiers to make this a challenging experience. Earn additional rewards, XP and bonus rewards after completing the campaign. Difficulty is also adjusted based on fireteam size.
Vendor: Fynch
As you progress through the Witch Queen campaign, you will be introduced to a new vendor − Fynch
Earn reputation by looting chests and materials, completing bounties and completing various activities in the Throne World, such as patrols, missions, public events and Lost Sectors!
As you level up with Fynch, you will be able to also unlock a variety of rewards from Fynch, ranging from armour, weapons, shaders and more!
NOTE: Some rewards require campaign progress!
When exploring the Throne World, pick up bounties. Regular bounties reward 50 reputation!
Altar of Reflection is a small mission-type activity that is unlocked throughout the Witch Queen campaign; at a glance…
Each Altar of Reflection mission starts off with a puzzle that players must solve. (see video guide or read an IGN article about it!)
Once solved, there’s a group of Lucent Hive to eliminate.
Once enemies are cleared, visit the altar to interact with a memory fragment.
Altar of Reflection missions featured on the director map rotate daily.

Secrets of the Throne World
Savathûn’s Throne World has many secrets and it’s up to the Guardians to discover and unravel them all!
As you may soon notice, there are Deepsight instances scattered throughout the Throne World that, when connected to, reveal hidden secrets such as chests and runes, that provide loot and XP.
There are also hidden encounters spread throughout the location as well!
Guardians can earn triumphs by unlocking these secrets, some of which are necessary for the Gumshoe Seal.
