Prophecy dungeon guide: Encounters, tips, and rewards

October 18, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

I guess I’m pretty late on this one, but to be fair, the season 1-7 guides were a bigger priority. I also didn’t want to write my dungeon guide until I really knew the dungeon inside and out, and now that I have my solo flawless completion under my belt, now’s as good a time as any to write up a guide to the only piece of season 11 content I’ve neglected so far!

Prophecy is a dungeon released with Season of Arrivals, a bonus piece of endgame content that’s free for all players and provides new rewards and some returning ones. With the Pyramids arriving in the Solar System, Eris Morn wants to find out what the Nine know about the Darkness. To do that, she enlists the help of the Drifter to send you into the Haul and learn what the Nine have to teach us.

It’s an answer that’s going to require a lot of fighting first, but that’s par for the course with Destiny. Read on for details on the dungeon encounters, suggested loadouts, and a whole lot of loot.

Note: Prophecy will be removed temporarily when Beyond Light launches on November 10th due to technical issues related to mission scripting changes. The dungeon will be reintroduced as soon as possible, but it might not be available until season 13. If you want the dungeon’s rewards, you won’t have another chance until it comes back.

Season of the Drifter guide: Gambit Prime, the Reckoning, and Zero Hour

September 10, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

My very long series of guides to past seasons moves right along into Destiny 2’s sixth season, Season of the Drifter. Focused primarily on the character of the Drifter (naturally), the second Annual Pass update, Joker’s Wild, introduced a new variant of Gambit, gave more characterization to the enigmatic Drifter, and added further details about the mysterious Nine. A lot of the story in this season was setting up for bigger story beats to come, so if it feels a little light on story, don’t worry, Bungie did get back to it soon enough (this season, in fact!).

This guide will briefly talk about the differences between Gambit and Gambit Prime, go over the Gambit Prime armor sets and how to acquire them from the Reckoning, and delve into a variety of quests added during the season, including a particularly fun secret mission. Time to be bad guys.

Quick tip: Complete the Invitations from the Nine while you still can

I’m still working on the first part of my Forsaken guide, but I’m jumping ahead a little bit here because I remembered something from season 6 that will likely be going away when Beyond Light begins. The weekly activity Invitations from the Nine was a side pursuit during Season of the Drifter that gave additional insights into how the mysterious Nine view the ongoing conflict in the Solar System, as well as providing more context as to the character of the Drifter.

With objectives on destinations that are soon to be vaulted, the Invitations may very well be removed soon. If you want to experience the whole series, you’d better start soon.

Update, 7/16/20: Due to the recently-announced delay of Beyond Light’s release date to November 10th, I’ve updated the dates on this guide accordingly. You now have until the week of September 11th to start Invitations from the Nine.
