My Destiny 2 Vesper's Host Dungeon Guide: Icebreaker & Epic Braytech Secrets!

Just conquered Destiny 2's Vesper's Host dungeon after multiple sweat-dripping runs, and WOW – this Braytech-themed masterpiece had my fireteam screaming! 🚀 Set on a derelict space station near Europa, it brilliantly remixes Deep Stone Crypt mechanics with fresh puzzles, terrifying bosses, and the sweetest loot: ICEBREAKER! If you're diving into Episode 2's crown jewel, buckle up for my essential tips.

🔑 Access & Rewards

First things first: You MUST own The Final Shape dungeon pass. Head to Spider in The Last City for a quest about 'anomalous energy' near Europa. Why bother? Beyond the adrenaline rush, completion grants:

• High-stat Braytech armor

• New stasis weapons

• A shot at Icebreaker (yes, THAT D1 exotic sniper!)

⚙️ Core Mechanics Refresher

Vesper's Host evolves DSC's classic trio:

1. Operator (🔴): Shoot red panels (like activating nuke rooms)

2. Scanner (🟡): Find hidden targets – correct ones turn WHITE on radar + audio cue!

3. Suppressor (🔵): Toss decoys to stun bosses (grenade button)

People Also Ask: "Can I solo this?" Absolutely! But bring resist mods – those explosive shanks HURT.

💣 First Encounter: Nuke Dunking 101

After clearing ads in the pristine main room:

1. Kill the initial Brig → Operator/Scanner carriers spawn

2. Follow flashing red lights to Brain/Lungs/Heart rooms

3. In each room:

4. Clear ads + invisible minibosses

5. Scanner finds 4 panels → Operator shoots them

6. Grab nuclear core from revealed box

7. Dunk all 3 cores to win

Pro Tip: Ignore old duplication glitches – patched in 2025!

🌀 Maze Survival vs. Raneiks Unified

This sneaky boss stalks you while you:

• Manage "Power Reserves" by disabling terminals (gain 1 charge)

• Open/close doors (costs/refunds 1 charge)

• Collect 5 nukes from Captains → dunk in ORDERED boxes (1→5)

Dodge Raneiks' deadly attacks:

• AOE blast (stay back!)

• Explosive mini-servitors

• "Integration" beam (break line of sight IMMEDIATELY)

🦾 Second Encounter: Dismantling Raneiks Unified

Locate numbered panels (0-9) pre-fight! Then:

1. Kill Machine Priest → teleport to shank swarm (BEWARE explosives!)

2. Kill Suppressor carrier → stun boss

3. Spot 2 glowing mini-Raneiks with red dots (e.g., Raneiks-1 & Raneiks-5)

4. Repeat steps → get second code pair (e.g., Raneiks-6 & Raneiks-0)

5. Operator shoots panels matching FULL code (e.g., 1-5-6-0)

6. Stun boss again → DPS phase!

💥 MAX DPS Strategy

• Titans: GLACIAL QUAKE heavy spam (covers all fragments)

• Weapons: Tractor Cannon (Weaken) + Parasite (x20 Worm Hunger)

• Mods: Leg armor surges matching heavy weapon!

• Warlocks: Well of Radiance for safety

People Also Ask: "How many phases?" Skilled teams one-phase it!

⚡ Lightning Jumping Puzzle

After Raneiks:

• Navigate platforms while dodging INSTAKILL lightning

• Lingering shock fields drain health → move constantly!

• Ends with corrupted Atraks-1 reveal → jump down chute!

🎭 Final Boss: The Corrupted Puppeteer

Phase 1: Radioactive Clones

1. Suppress clones → kill them

2. Scanner finds CORRECT blue panel (turns white)

3. Operator shoots FOUR red panels matching that number

Phase 2: Shield Destruction

Follow lights to Orange/Blue rooms:

1. Operator shoots 4 hidden panels → spawn clones

2. Scanner finds CORRECT clone → kill for nuke

3. Dunk nuke in bunker → removes 50% shield

4. Escape via trap corridor (DON'T fight – parkour over mines!)

5. Repeat in second room → FULL shield break!

💀 Damage Phase Essentials

• Boss teleports + summons clones

• MID-DPS: Kill marked clone → dunk nuke to stop wipe mechanic
