One of the most daunting challenges in Destiny 2 has recently been accomplished: the notorious duo clear of the Totems encounter from the King’s Fall Raid. This feat, achieved in spectacular fashion, highlights the remarkable skill and coordination of two players.
Initially featured in Destiny 1, the King’s Fall Raid was reintroduced in 2022 as part of the Season of Plunder. The Totems segment, in particular, has long been dubbed the “Mount Everest” of duo challenges. Traditionally, this encounter can prove difficult even for a full team of six players, requiring seamless communication and teamwork. However, duo players Ysiig and Wildrize triumphed against the odds, demonstrating exceptional prowess and creativity.
Mastering the Hardest Duo Encounter in Destiny 2
To navigate the complexities of this encounter, players utilized the Devour ability, a key feature of the Void 3.0 subclass, to maintain their health throughout the fight. However, the crux of the challenge lies in managing stacks that must be deposited—an intricate task that often leads to frustrating setbacks. Adding to the pressure is a strict 15-minute timer that players must adhere to.
Ysiig has acknowledged the contributions of fellow players Wildrize and ItzYanis, who devised the strategy that ultimately led to this successful duo clear when the Kingsfall raid made its comeback. He has also shared insight into their character builds, which includes a Solar Warlock optimized for high scorch damage. This build features the Mountaintop as a primary weapon alongside the Choir of One, a newly introduced Exotic Void Auto Rifle. The armor of choice for this build is the Karnstein Armlets. For those interested in replicating their strategy, the build can be accessed via DIM.
The community reaction to this achievement has been overwhelmingly positive. On social media platforms like Reddit, players have expressed their astonishment, with comments such as “Incredible” and “Holy s*** that’s f***ing insane,” capturing the excitement surrounding this milestone. One user succinctly noted, “The fact they cleared this is insane on so many levels, most people I’ve talked to genuinely thought this would never be completed solely because of how precise you had to be.” Another enthusiast referred to Ysiig and Wildrize as “Absolute legends,” illustrating the admiration they’ve garnered.
This achievement is hardly an isolated incident. The Destiny 2 community thrives on astonishing feats; earlier this year, Esoterickk accomplished a solo victory in a 12-player Grandmaster activity. As the game continues to evolve, it’s evident that more iconic achievements are on the horizon.
