Description Glory and treasure await those who survive.
The Prison of Elders is a level 28 Arena found on the The Reef, Asteroid Belt. The co-op activity requires a group of 3 players and will feature automatic match making. Prison of Elders is a horde mode that requires the players to complete 5 rounds of battle. In the first 4 rounds, players are tasked to defeat 3 waves of enemies each. The 5th and final round consist of a randomly selected Boss. Each round features a different enemy type, Fallen, Hive, Vex or Cabal along with a random modifier. Different rounds also have different Critical Objectives and gifts. If everyone dies in a round, you need to restart the round from the beginning.
  • Unlike Raids, PoE will not have check points between rounds.

There will be 6 challenge modes at level 32, 34 and 35. The more difficult modes offer greater loot and different modifiers. While the default level 28 mode has automatic match making, challenge modes will not. While the level 35 mode is static, level 32 and 34 modes will rotate every week.

  • 3 challenge modes will be available every week (one at every level range). Players can complete all of them once per week for their rewards. Level 28 PoE will not have weekly lockout.

Variks, the Loyal is the main NPC for the Prison of Elders. Players can exchange Weapon Core and Armor Core obtained in PoE for unique gear.

The Prison of Elders is scheduled to be released on May 19, 2015 with the expansion House of Wolves. It will replace the raid activity found in previous editions of Destiny. Note that you will need to finish certain House of Wolves Story Missions in order to tackle PoE.

Objectives

Starting with round 2, Critical Objectives can appear after wave 1 or 2. Players must complete these objectives within the time limit or wipe.

Critical Objectives:

  • Defusing Splinter Mines - Defuse all the mines that spawn by standing under them. The more players standing under the mine the faster it defuses. Players have 30 seconds to defuse each mine. Another mine will spawn 15 seconds after the one before.
  • Destroy Splinter Mines - Destroy the mines with your weapons by shooting at them. Players have 30 seconds to destroy each mine. These mines spawn randomly on the map.
  • Eliminate Target - This is similar to Kill VIP in Public Events. Players need to kill the target enemy before it runs through all the check points.

The Gift

After the completion of Critical Objectives, players will receive a Gift. The Gift can be Scorch Cannon, Heavy Weapon Ammo, Special Weapon Ammo or other items.

If you do not use the Scorch Cannon, you can carry it to the next round.
