Beyond Light transports Guardians to the frozen moon of Europa to confront Eramis, the Kell of Darkness, and her Fallen empire. Throughout this campaign, you will undergo a series of trials to master Stasis, the first Darkness-based elemental subclass.
Campaign Mission Breakdown
The journey begins with Darkness's Doorstep, where you rescue Variks the Loyal from the House of Salvation. This leads into the core hunt for Eramis’s lieutenants through the following key milestones:
- The New Empire: Track down Phylaks, the Warrior. This mission introduces basic Stasis empowerment mechanics, allowing you to temporarily bypass ability cooldowns to shatter frozen Fallen forces.
- The Technocrat: Infiltrate Bray Exoscience to eliminate Praksis. This encounter requires careful positioning to avoid his Stasis-based stasis-lock traps while destroying his shield-generating drones.
- The Glassway: This strike-integrated mission requires you to prevent Eramis from opening a Vex portal. Focus on clearing Wyverns quickly, as they can easily overwhelm your fireteam in the confined boss room.
- The Kell of Darkness: The final confrontation against Eramis. During this multi-phase boss fight, you must utilize Stasis to neutralize her shards. Once her health reaches the final threshold, you will permanently unlock the ability to equip the Stasis subclass.
Progression and Key Encounters
Between missions, you must complete Empire Hunts and objective steps for the Exo Stranger to attune your Splinter of Darkness. Prioritize the "Born in Darkness" questline immediately after the campaign to unlock essential Stasis Aspects and Fragments, which are necessary to make the subclass viable in end-game content like the Deep Stone Crypt raid.
