Prophecy dungeon guide: Encounters, tips, and rewards

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.

Destiny 2 base game guide: The Red War campaign, quests, and other content

Immernaut3 Comments

With the news of various year 1 destinations entering the Destiny Content Vault this fall, a pretty sizable chunk of the game will also be going away, perhaps for good. To give you some guidance on what you should check out before it’s gone, I’m going to be writing up some guides on each release of the game, including campaigns, quests, activities, loot, and triumphs.

We’re starting all the way back at the beginning with Destiny 2’s launch. Released in September 2017, Destiny 2 brought a new campaign that started off by destroying a lot of what we knew and loved in Destiny 1. If you want to revisit the Red War and the initial appearance of the Red Legion, read on!

Season of the Worthy: Guide to Triumphs, Collections, and getting it all done in time

ImmernautLeave a comment

With a little over a week to go until season 11 launches, it’s time once again for my seasonal guide to finishing up everything the season has to offer. How many times will I say season this time? Who knows?

I meant to get this out a little bit earlier, but there’s still time to finish up all the Triumphs if you’re willing to put in some effort. The format’s pretty similar since there’s not a whole lot of changes between seasons, so let’s dive in.

Guardian Games 2020: Last-minute tips and retrospective

ImmernautLeave a comment

There’s still about a week to go in the Guardian Games, and it looks like the punchy boys have pulled off the win. As a Titan main myself, I’m obviously thrilled about that.

But regardless of who wins or loses, there are still rewards to acquire regardless of your class, and still time to complete some Triumphs and score a new exotic. So, with two weeks of the grind under my (golden) belt, here are some tips to help you in your grind, as well as my thoughts on the event.

The life exotic: Exotic weapon catalysts and masterworks

ImmernautLeave a comment

Masterwork weapons have been a part of Destiny 2 since shortly after the Curse of Osiris expansion, introduced originally to help mitigate the slow super regeneration from D2’s launch and provide a little customization for year 1’s static weapon rolls. For the cost of a few Masterwork Cores (now known as Enhancement Cores), players could upgrade their weapons to boost a stat, add a kill tracker, and generate Orbs of Light on multikills.

These were followed up by exotic weapon masterworks with the Warmind expansion, though the process for upgrading exotic weapons was a little different. Players would first need to find an exotic catalyst from various in-game sources which would give the weapon its kill tracking and orb generating abilities. They’d then have to complete another objective to upgrade the weapon fully to a masterwork, furthering its capabilities in some fashion, either through boosting stats or adding a new perk to its abilities.

This guide will go over the locations of exotic catalysts, the masterwork upgrade objectives, and the resulting upgrades when the masterwork is completed.

Updated, 3/4/20: Added an additional farming spot and further details about the Sleeper Simulant masterwork perks.
Updated, 3/11/20: Added info on Lumina and Tommy’s Matchbook catalysts, updated details on MIDA Multi-Tool catalyst, added note on changes to Orpheus Rigs that can affect masterwork grinding.
Updated, 5/4/20: Added info on The Fourth Horseman catalyst.
Updated, 10/3/20: Added info on Trinity Ghoul, Witherhoard, and Ruinous Effigy catalysts.

Love in your sights: Crimson Days 2020 guide

ImmernautLeave a comment

Crimson Days, Destiny’s Valentine’s Day-themed holiday, is back again this year, running from February 11th through the 18th. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic with an eye for love, or a cynic who thinks Valentine’s Day is a holiday invented to sell chocolates and greeting cards, you can find the partner of your dreams or work out your frustrations in the standard Guardian way: killing each other repeatedly.

The event is pretty similar to last year’s, but there are some new rewards to unlock in addition to various returning items if you missed out on them before. Here’s a brief guide to the event, covering Crimson Doubles, loot, and Triumphs.

Now that we’re in the endgame for season 9, it’s your last chance to finish up the various activities in the season before they go away and claim your rewards.

To that end, here’s a guide on the various Triumphs, item collections, and questlines you’ll want to get done if you want that shiny Savior title!

Season of Dawn: Navigating the season’s climax event

Immernaut1 Comment

We’re in the home stretch of season 9 now, and with today’s reset come a few new additions to shake things up a little. From catch-up mechanisms for those starting late to a new community-wide event, from a new boss in the Sundial to an easy way to grind weapon rolls, it makes for a much more interesting climax than the Undying Mind.

So what’s changed since last week?

Quick Tip: How to get into the Corridors of Time, post-patch

Immernaut1 Comment

On Tuesday, patch 2.7.1 was released for Destiny 2. While it had the unintended side effect of severely messing with players’ inventories, to the extent of Bungie performing their first-ever character rollback, an intended change was the removal of access to the Corridors of Time, the puzzle event that started on January 14th and was solved a few days later. Any player who didn’t run through it for the emblem and lore book before Tuesday sadly missed out.

However, a glitch has been discovered that enables players to access the Corridors again, provided you have at least one character that hasn’t rescued Saint-14 yet. The glitch is pretty simple, and you can use it to get both the emblem and the complete Pigeon and the Phoenix lore book.
