Lens Director FAQ

Q: Is this tool really necessary?

A: Everything is relative, however, every Guardian has different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to solving puzzles in the midst of combat challenges. This tool is exactly that, a tool that can be used to educate the Destiny community. Our goal is to help unfamiliar players understand that there are fewer paths needed to be memorized than it can appear. With enough practice, it will become second nature and the tool becomes less and less necessary.

Q: What is the most efficient path for collecting the symbols to enter into the tool?

A: TL;DR.. Get the center wheel symbols, and then go R1 -> R2 -> L2 -> L1.

This answer is also relative, but we have found the most efficient method is to immediately enter the center wheel symbols upon starting the encounter and then go directly into R1. Head into the hallway between R1 and R2, looking at the R2 symbol through the hole in the wall. Pause in this hallway to enter the “Right Symbols” into the grid. Head through R2, enter L2, and head directly to the left into the hallway between L2 and L1. You can either pause here to put the L2 symbol in, or (if you have a better memory than I do) you can continue into L1 to find that symbol as well.

I like to nuke the boss and ads in L1 with my super for an easy first lens pickup and to submit and get oriented for the lens placement process.
