"Devious Thievery" is a Raid challenge in Destiny 2 that Guardians must complete while facing the Warpriest, an Ascendant Hive who serves as one of the Taken King's most powerful Knights. Defeating this boss involves a strategy that operates somewhat similarly to the Totems challenge regarding rotations and team coordination. Guardians must work with their Raid party in Destiny 2 to hold their positions on circular plates while two group members work together to exchange a buff called Brand of the Initiate.
After solving the correct sequence of the circular platforms in the boss chamber, the Guardian will receive the Brand of the Initiate to step on the last plate. The buff will generate a red aura that the rest of the Raid party must stand in to deal damage to the Warpriest. Therefore, players must ensure that their offensive abilities are not on cooldown and their weapons are reloaded to unleash their fury on the boss as soon as the Brand's aura is active. However, similar to the Totems' Brand of the Weaver, the Brand of the Initiate does not last forever and must be "stolen" from another player using an orb called Brand Claimer.
