Deep Stone Crypt is the raid from the Beyond Light expansion. It runs through the Clovis Bray facility beneath Europa and ends with Taniks, the Abomination. The raid drops its own weapon and armor sets plus the Eyes of Tomorrow exotic rocket launcher.

Deep Stone Crypt encounter breakdown

The Security segment is the opening gauntlet with scanner panels and strict add control. The middle segments layer on the up-down merge mechanic, where one team fights on the surface while another works below. Taniks is the final boss, a fight built around scanner synergy, bomb calls, and clean damage phases. The merge timing is unforgiving, because a team that is late below loses its damage window above. The scanner panels also gate progress, so a missed call stalls the whole raid.

Preparing for Deep Stone Crypt

Bring burst damage and a shield-break option. Power level 1300 or higher is comfortable. The scanner puzzles are the raid’s identity, so learn which panel belongs to whom before your first run. One player should own scanner calls for the whole run, since split responsibility causes most wipes.

Scanner and callout mistakes in Deep Stone Crypt

  • Missing scanner calls.
  • Forgetting the merge timing.
  • Ignoring the bomb callouts at Taniks.
  • Forgetting that the scanner also reveals your position to adds.
  • Splitting scanner duty across the whole team.

FAQ

Do I need Beyond Light? Yes. The raid is part of that expansion.

What is the exotic? Eyes of Tomorrow, a multi-target tracking rocket launcher.

Can it be soloed? A few encounters are soloable, but the raid needs a fireteam.

Deep Stone Crypt raid checklist

  • Learn the scanner panels.
  • Call out merges early.
  • Assign bomb duties at Taniks.
  • Farm for Eyes of Tomorrow.

How often can you earn loot? Drops are limited per character each week, so clear every character before the reset. Featured raid weeks change which raid gets the bonus farming treatment.
