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. The first 4 rounds task the players to defeat 3 waves of enemies each. The 5th and final round introduces 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. 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.

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.
