Challenge of the Elders in Destiny: The Taken King.

Introduced in April 2016, this brought in a new, higher challenge for the Prison of Elders. Varkis has brought in some Taken into the Prison of Elders. Here, the Guardians are to fight and defeat them for Variks and the Queen's Guard.

Guardians gain access to the Challenge of the Elders by completing the Prison of Elders Level 41 challenge. This will let them buy the Elders' Sigil. The Sigil can be completed once per week per Guardian.

Scoring[edit]

Every kill the Guardians on a Fireteam make will add points to the Scorecard. Each round after the first will add a multiplier to what is earned. The second round gives you Double (2x) points. The third round will give you triple (3x). By killing enemies with the method set in the bonus, you will get double points. This potentially stacks with the round multiplier.

If a Fireteam wipes (all members are dead), the round and score will reset to what it was at the beginning of the round.

5 minutes after Variks announces the start of the Round he will get impatient. He will immediately deduct 50 points from the team's score. He will repeat this every 45 seconds thereafter until the boss is killed.
