Bungie announced that Solstice of Heroes will return this year with all-new missions, triumph and armor sets for each character. In 2018, Solstice of Heroes brought one of the best-looking armor sets to the game at that time. The glowing touch to the armor was very unique and it’s back this year again. This time, Solstice of Heroes will bring a brand new area in EDZ called European Ariel Zone EAZ.
Everything about European Ariel Zone
Recently, some data-mined info leaked almost everything about this new zone. According to the Reddit post, it seems this area is divided into 7 different zones. Below you can find everything about EAZ we know so far.
The Vanguard is dispatching Guardians to the EAZ for combat drills and meditation. Join them.
We got our first glimpse at the EAZ in the Season of Opulence Trailer posted May 28th, 2019. In the trailer, at around 20 seconds, we can see 5 Guardians fighting Cabal in a new area. This seems like the activity will be a six-player matchmade event.
The EAZ is made up of 7 different zones:
- Meditation Grounds
- Ruin
- Town
- Factory
- Mall
- Garage
- Courtyard
Each day different energy will fill the air and allow you to become Empowered:
- Solar energies blast through the EAZ, filling the air with the smell of sunbaked earth.
- Arc energies crackle through the EAZ, filling the air with the smell of ozone.
- Void energies pulse through the EAZ, filling the air with the smell of potential.
While these are active, you can run similar energies to generate orbs:
- Equip your Solar subclass and weapons to generate Solar orbs, then collect them to become Solar Empowered. While empowered, Guardians emit a burning wave of energy.
- Equip your Arc subclass and weapons to generate Arc orbs, then collect them to become Arc Empowered. While empowered, Guardians emit an electrifying wave of energy.
- Equip your Void subclass and weapons to generate Void orbs, then collect them to become Void Empowered. While empowered, Guardians emit a searing wave of energy.
The event strings make it seem like it will be almost like a solo Gambit match. With multiple bosses/waves for the player to kill within a time limit:
- Time remaining:
- Target neutralized:
- Progress:
- Eliminate minibosses
- Defeat all bosses.

Each wave is filled with Cabal, and they get reinforcements:
- An Engineer arrives to support the Cabal
- A Mosquito arrives to support the Cabal
There seems to also be a High-Value Target, called a Prismatic Taken, that spawns as well:
- Hunt for Prismatic Taken
- A Prismatic Taken is roaming nearby
- The Prismatic Taken has escaped
- Prismatic Taken Captain
- Defeat Prismatic Taken hiding near the [ZONE NAME].
- Prismatic Taken Centurion
- Prismatic Taken Knight
And possibly waves that aren’t about killing bosses, but opening hidden chests:
- Hidden chests:
- Chests looted:
- Hidden chests will appear throughout the area when the timer runs out. Get ready to look for them.
- Search for hidden chests as time allows.
- Something secret is hidden nearby
This is everything that was leaked through data-mining. Bungie will announce more details about this live event on July 24, 2019. Stay tuned to VGR for more Destiny 2 leaks, news, and guides!
