'Destiny 2's newest raid, Spire of Stars, is proving difficult

The latest Destiny 2 raid lair, Spire of Stars, launched on Friday, and players are finding it rather difficult to finish.

Spire of Stars sends players back into the Leviathan for a third time to fight against Emporer Calus and the Cabal. Hours after the raid launched, players are still working their way through the challenging encounters — those players that reach the recommended power level, that is.

Players were surprised to find out that the raid lair had a recommended power level of 370. Pre-launch speculation indicated that it would recommend 340 or 350, so some players still haven't leveled up enough to put in a worthwhile attempt at completing the raid.

What people currently think is the final encounter is at power level 380.

Those attempting to finish the raid have found it very difficult and are figuring out how all of the different fight mechanics work. Raid groups that are streaming live on Twitch are slowly but surely progressing further and further in some of the encounters, but none have yet to make it all the way through.

Good luck, guardians.
