Story Details
The Dark Below centers around The Hive summoning their dark god, Crota. The summoning of Crota is complicated ritual that has implications across Story missions, Quests, the “Will of Crota” Strike, and the “Crota’s End” Raid.

The story missions will take you into new areas. There’s new music and custom effects to be expected. The Strike and Raid will also feature expansive new areas.

The storyline of the Dark Below kicks off with the return of Eris to the Tower, bearing a grim warning about the rise of Crota. Eris is a new character that appears in the Tower to serve as your guide. Eris will serve as the primary narrator for Story missions. She also has her own reputation stream, along with unique weapon and armor rewards.
