How to Unlock the Titan Stasis Subclass in Destiny 2
Unlocking the Titan Stasis subclass, the Behemoth, in Destiny 2 is a journey that requires venturing into the icy depths of Europa. This powerful subclass, introduced with the Beyond Light expansion, grants Titans the ability to manipulate Stasis, a new elemental power derived from the Darkness. The process isn’t as simple as picking a class at character creation; it involves completing the main Beyond Light campaign and various quests. This guide will break down exactly how to get your Titan wielding the formidable powers of the Behemoth.
Obtaining the Stasis Subclass: A Step-by-Step Guide
The path to becoming a Stasis Behemoth Titan is interwoven with the story of the Beyond Light expansion. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you need to do:
1. Purchase the Beyond Light Expansion
The first step is acquiring the Beyond Light DLC. Without it, you won’t have access to Europa, the Stasis power, or the quests necessary to unlock the Behemoth subclass.
2. Start the Beyond Light Campaign
Once you have the Beyond Light expansion, launch Destiny 2 and head to Europa. You’ll start the main campaign, which is crucial to your Stasis journey.
3. Interact with the Exo Stranger
Throughout the Beyond Light campaign, you’ll encounter the Exo Stranger. She serves as a key guide, providing the story’s context and the initial tools to understand Stasis. Pay close attention to her instructions and progress through her quests.
4. The “Born in Darkness” Questline
As you progress through the Beyond Light campaign, you will be introduced to the “Born in Darkness” questline. This is essential for mastering Stasis. You’ll start by receiving a Stasis Splinter from the Exo Stranger. This allows you to use a basic version of Stasis. You must complete various quests in this questline to fully unlock and upgrade your Stasis powers.
5. Completing Quests for Stasis Aspects and Fragments
The “Born in Darkness” questline involves several steps, each designed to enhance your Stasis abilities. You will need to complete objectives which often involve defeating enemies using stasis, using abilities, and completing strikes. Some of these quests may require completing Nightfall Strikes with Stasis equipped. By completing these various steps, you will unlock Stasis Aspects and Fragments. These can be customized into your Stasis subclass, improving its performance.
6. The Behemoth Subclass Unlocked
By the conclusion of the “Born in Darkness” questline and the main campaign, you will have unlocked the Behemoth subclass. As a Behemoth, you will now have access to Stasis abilities like Cryoclasm (melee), Diamond Lance (grenade) and Glacial Quake (super) and can start customising it to your playstyle with your unlocked aspects and fragments.
