There’s a process from here that involves translating binary code into numerals, and it results in an exotic engram, an emblem and access to the fifth monitor. The image points out four cylinders in the room stepping on them enables the monitors in the previous area to be activated. They then had to combine those images as you would a jigsaw puzzle, and once they pieced the puzzle together, they recognized the larger image as a diagram of a particular room in the raid. Destiny players had to crowdsource the solution, writing scripts to compile and translate massive amounts of data in order to turn garbled text into the hex code for more than 900 image files. The fifth monitor would take a bit more effort.īungie expanded the pre-launch " Owl Sector" ARG, adding a new layer that presented players with a massive encryption scheme. They soon found monitors that triggered the lasers, but only four of them.

It kicked off after players discovered a chest in Rise of Iron’s raid, Wrath of the Machine, that they could not open because it was blocked by five lasers. The ARG was perhaps the most complicated one yet for Destiny, and certainly the one that required the most crowdsourcing. Destiny: Rise of Iron’s latest exotic weapon is another secret item that can only be obtained by completing a byzantine series of tasks starting with a new alternate reality game - and the community figured it all out in a matter of days.
