    DPS on Riven' Heart After Queenswalk

    In every LFG and instance that I've done Last Wish to completion, everyone turns around after the heart has been dunked after queenswalk and dumps all their ammo and supers into it. Unlike the first time you damage the heart in Riven's mouth, there are no damage numbers. Is it required to DPS the heart otherwise we will infact wipe or is it more of a tradition/ritual/hazing ceremony like the "secret chest portal" in GoS?

    Crota's End oversoul jackpot/lottery

    I had a quick question on this. Does this drop from full completions or can I just farm crota over and over? Also is this farmable or only for one character/account?

    What about the third ToE mode?

    For those who don’t know, there is another ToE mode called >! “Kell’s Vengeance” !< which was discovered in the files for the game.

    ! “The prison's most infamous inmate returns, eager for one last shot at revenge" !<

    A string was also found which details the “rules” of the mode:

    ! Kell's Vengeance Rules:

    "Complete a perfect lap of the Warden's twisted game. Warden's Punishment: Failing to successfully complete secondary objectives will result in the Warden inflicting its punishment on the entire fireteam." !<

    I know Bungie said that all act content would be released at once for this episode, which basically leaves 2 possibilities:

    1.) we have to find a way into it

    2.) it’s in Act III

    Given that it is set in the ToE, and that was introduced in this episode, I think there’s a slim chance we have to do something to get into it? I don’t know. I just wanted to leave this here in case anybody felt like looking into it.

    Easy solo 2 phase Raneiks and maybe 1 phase possible (Titan ofc)

    https://medal.tv/games/destiny-2/clips/j8MNMj6hQUuXrrZdA?invite=cr-MSxOR2YsMzY0MTMyMjIs
    I found that T-crash + Consecration (synthoceps) does more damage than Star-Eater Glacial Quake. I think 1 phase possible with one more Consecration (if I didn't mess up menus and my last melee) and good servitor grouping. Only downside is no more frost armor. If you don't want to swap, normal syntho would be best. Use 3 Consecrations first so you’ll ensure you have buff for T-crash. It’ll also fill the gap for regen on your 4th Consecration.

    Also found that damage timer starts after unity is lost from suppressor if this isn't commonly known already. I don't have a clip for it and too lazy to go back and record but messed up supp at some point in my solo run.

    Tip: Just noticed that the 2 servitors for numbers are a slightly different shade of blue so you can tell without them facing you. Happy farming

    Note 1: I didn't use loadouts because I don't want to take up 2 slots for just an exotic swap

    Note 2: I use medal to free storage space. If anyone knows good alternatives feel free to share

    Edit: Sorry guys I forgot to share the build

    Sentinel Shield Vs Raid Bosses

    https://youtu.be/Hxbv_D5ZiLA?si=UzZGv3CQ1FxEq1Fr

    As you may have already seen Sentinel Shield is absolutely Insane right now. With synthoceps and Tractor Cannon you can destroy bosses in seconds. Banner of war does work and increases your damage with Sentinel by 40%. When I made the video I didn't know that at the time but with it you'll hit well over half a million damage per heavy hit.

    And if you use the artifact mod conductive cosmic crystals you do about 8% more damage. Not massive but any increase to damage is good. Even without banner you can very easily one phase most bosses.

    I glitched into 3rd person combat during the new prison of elders activity.

    So I was doing the encounter where you have to dunk the darkness shards and I had collected one and right as I dunked it, I popped my warlock tickle fingers super, then at the same time I dunked the shard. Then my super animation canceled and I was stuck in 3rd person. I could run around jump shoot. Weird thing was... shoot was right mouse button. There was no ads zoom in anymore. This reset when I died but it was really interesting.

    What's the best augment deposit placement for solo VH final boss?

    Yesterday I started going for VH solo flawless and got to final boss without any particular problem, however I ended up failing before the last damage phase due to radiation (and because I'm stupid).

    Even though it went pretty smooth I found myself with scanner and operator too far apart inside shiels room deposits and risked dying too many times after being done with the operator buff.

    So, since each "upper floor" deposit should be linked to a specific shield room deposit where should I put the suppressor buff to make it end up in the "single" deposit inside the shield rooms?

    (if it's possibile, I'm just asking based on a random idea)

    In my opinion people overcomplicate Verity

    So 4 days ago I completed my first Salvation's Edge and was mindblown how easy the raid is. People say it's the bardest raid to date, but tbh I don't find it any harder than Vow of the Disciple. I've seen people say Verity is the hardest part of the raid etc. Yesterday when we did a run with my 2 friends + LFG a guy from LFG said when we completed the encounter "we only had to send in the veterans". I was a realm person, with me being there for the 2nd time and I was called a veteran.

    I was taught the double up mechanic the very first time and by the 2nd time I realized it's pointless.

    I'll explain with NPC name examples:

    The realm people are Ikora, Zavala and Crow

    Zavala's statue holds a Triangle

    Ikora's statue holds a Square

    Crow's statue holds a Circle

    Zavala has Triangle and Square on the back wall Ikora has Square and Circle on the back wall Crow has Circle and Triangle on the back wall

    The main goal is everyone gets rid of their own symbol and combines two others to escape the realm.

    So Zavala will send Triangle to Ikora

    Ikora sends Square to Crow

    Crow sends Circle to Zavala

    There can be any combination on the back wall. Yesterday all 3 of us was doubled up one time. Then you distribute one by one to each of your fellow realm members.

    And the resurrection part is self-explanatory. Everyone use a different drip and a different Ghost.

    Verity has become my favorite encounter so far.

    Edit: So I guess my sherpa either didn't know about that part or just forget, so excuse my misinformation. I looked up that people say you have to get rid of both of your initial symbols.

    That still doesn't mean you need to double up, if I'm assuming it correctly. Because you just send it to someone who needs that symbol as well. And if it's someone who already has that symbol they send it to you.

    How to UNLOCK ALL Tonics - ACT II Edition - Destiny 2

    It's more or less the same as in Act I. You unlock the two new green tonics in the story. You then use these to unlock the blue tonics and these to get the purple variant.


    In Volatile Tonics is only one new tonic, so this is easy - Green -> Blue -> Purple


    The green Tonic of Tomb Gear unlocks two blue Tomb weapon Tonics

    The blue Tonic of Vintage Tomb Weaponry unlocks THREE purple Tonics

    The blue Tonic of Tomb Weaponry unlocks FOUR purple Tonics.


    The new green resources tonic is again unlocked by completing all the ACT 2 Fieldwork stuff. After you unlocked the green, same again Green -> Blue -> Purple.


    Congratulations, you unlocked all Act 2 Tonics (after grind a lot of materials)

    Short video if needed with all unlock steps

    Question about Sanctified Mind

    Gos is my least played raid - currently only 15 fulls. Can anyone tell me why im hitting immunes with a heavy GL? I feel like im hitting the crit and im definitely hitting it with goldy and a sniper but sometimes im only hitting immunes with edge transit. The boss is positioned fine as far as I can tell. Just feels super random. One run im hitting like 2.3m and hitting all yellows and another im hitting straight immunes… is it really as simple as my GL shots are just not hitting crit?

    Was teleported from Raneiks to directly before Corrupted Puppeteer during the fight

    Some friends and I were finishing up the Icebreaker catalyst quest last night, and during the Raneiks boss fight, as we were being teleported by killing the machine priest, I died due to the operator buff expiring (it was a long day of puzzles ok?). Somehow, this appears to have put my respawn location directly before the final boss fight after the 45 second respawn. I could jump up to the boss arena even though the boss and any triggers to start the fight didnt seem to be loaded, so no way down to the other rooms of the encounter. My friends were still fighting Raneiks the entire time, and it only teleported my back to the fight when I went backwards to the platforming section right before the final encounter.

    Not sure if this is useful at all, just wanted to document it somewhere and see if anybody else has had this happen. It reminds me of the glitch where you use stasis crystals to block valid respawn points, but I'm not sure if its the same concept since I've never used any skips like that.

    Radiation puppets can be damaged without suppression using stasis explosions

    During a master run, both of my teammates died when we were breaking the bosses shield and dropped their augments. Since it was the second time, we just went straight to damage.

    After the damage phase, we saw the message that a viral carrier arrived but it wasn’t in the upstairs room with us. We realized it must have spawned downstairs, like it does when you lose it in the room.

    We thought it was a wipe but then noticed one of the puppets had somehow taken damage even without being suppressed. I had on bleak watcher so tested and realized it damaged them when the turret exploded. Another friend was able to damage it as well with some Titan build. We did this for all 4 puppets and fortunately the operator buff, which I’d been holding, spawned upstairs and we were able to continue.

    I don’t recommend this strat unless you can consistently damage them, since I died a lot standing in the radiation so they were by my turret when it blew up. But maybe someone better than me wants to play and find a useable cheese.

    Either way, if anyone finds themselves in that situation with a fireteam and otherwise can’t suppress, here’s a workaround if you’re like us and were close to finishing him off.

    Now if only there was a solution for when the nuke rolls under the stairs and you have to try and retrieve it with three radiation guys on top of you…

    Devil's Lair Servitor Model

    I tried looking around for this but saw no info.

    Helped a friend catch up on Outbreak Perfected and unlocking some perks required running Devil's Lair. However near the end this Servitor model spawned in.

    I'm not entirely sure I've seen this model anywhere else, though I could be mistaking it.

    Whats the current damage meta for trio witness???

    Me and the boys are planning to attempt trio witness. So far, the only recent videos for it are using whisper. Which feels horrible to use from our point of view for this specific fight. Would Edge Transit and cloud strike work? Microcosm? Still hunt post perf?

    We are running one of each class but open to ideas.

    Possible Witness non-darkness-zone glitch

    Today during an LFG witness run I got stuck outside of the encounter right as someone started it.

    It seems because I was not in a darkness zone, no one was. Everyone was able to self respawn.

    Tried posting a clip but reddit isn't letting me.

    Upon trying to recreate it I did not have the same success. Has this been found before?

    Bug: Vesper’s Host Final Boss and Being Unable to Dunk

    Hello, hello! I don’t normally make posts here, but I’ve looked around online and it seems nobody else has had this issue I encountered during my latest SF attempt.

    On my 5th/6th damage cycle, I was preparing to grab the core to dunk to extend damage, and as I got to the deposit, there was no indicator to interact and dunk. I panicked, and tried to drop and pick it back up, thinking I had just had an instance of some weird bug, but it wouldn’t let me dunk at all and I ended up dying.

    The question is: do we know what causes this, and if so, what is the way to prevent it for the future?

    I would attach a clip of what happened, but the sub doesn’t allow attachments (and I don’t have a YouTube channel, unfortunately.)
