Destiny 2: How to complete Operation Elbrus

The battle with Savathûn's Lucent Hive will take place throughout Destiny 2, even if it takes place outside of the Throne World. You'll be fighting these forces on numerous fronts, and after finishing Rising Tensions, you'll be able to continue Operation Elbrus by going to the H.E.L.M War Table and collaborating with Lord Saladin. This tutorial will show you how to complete Operation Elbrus in Destiny 2 and walk you through every stage of the process.

How to complete Operation Elbrus

1st step

The first phase of Operation Elbrus is to gather intelligence about Lord Saladin. You'll need 500 Intel to progress through The Witch Queen expansion campaign, which you may do by completing Strikes, Gambit matches, or Crucible engagements. We strongly advise you to complete The Witch Queen campaign since it will unlock more tasks for you.

2nd Step

Return to Lord Saladin aboard the H.E.L.M. after gathering enough Intel and completing another PsiOps Battlegrounds. You'll earn a Runic Chest at the end of the mission, which you can access using Psychogenic Intel, a resource you get for performing activities on the Throne World or completing The Witch Queen campaign tasks.
