Mission 1: Transmigration
- Power cap: Activity Power Disabled
- Normal Modifiers: None
- Legendary Modifiers: Chaff, Galvanized, Multiplicity, Epitaph
This is the initial mission in the Destiny 2 The Final Shape campaign, which will require you to navigate through the portal and into the Pale Heart of the Traveler.
While passing through the portal, you may encounter adversaries that cannot be harmed. In order to successfully navigate this situation, your best course of action is to evade them.
Upon entering the Pale Heart of the Traveler through the portal, you will gain access to Prismatic, which can be utilized to defeat the previously avoided enemies.
Temptation
- Power cap: Activity Power Disabled
- Normal Modifiers: None
- Legendary Modifiers: Chaff, Galvanized, Multiplicity, Pestilence
For the second mission, your objective will be to locate Crow, who has departed to investigate peculiarities. This will be your initial task of solving three conduit puzzles inside the Pale Heart of the Traveler.
These puzzles are relatively simple and will need you to use a buff called Psionic Insights to turn the dial either clockwise or counterclockwise.
This portal will lead to the Pale Heart of the Traveler and the Old Tower.
Mission 3: Exegesis
- Power cap: Activity Power Disabled
- Normal Modifiers: None
- Legendary Modifiers: Chaff, Galvanized, Multiplicity, Fire Pit
For the third mission, your objective will be to locate Ikora Rey, the Warlock Vanguard. This mission will also introduce you to a mechanic that you have previously encountered in both the Prophecy Dungeon and the Aegis mechanic from the Vault of Glass.
If you use your weapon to defeat a named Knight, they will drop Dark Motes, but if you defeat them with the Aegis, they will drop Light Motes instead.
Gather the Motes and place them on their corresponding plates in order to advance to the next section. You will encounter this mechanic numerous times, and it will be linked to a puzzle for the final part of the mission.
To solve the problem, you must arrange the motes in a particular sequence. The solution can be found by counting the number of lights on the edge of each plate. Beginning with the first plate, which will always have one illuminated light, is the recommended starting point.
The puzzle section will culminate in a boss fight where you must utilize the Aegis and Plate Mote mechanic that has been prominent in this encounter.
Mission 4: Requiem
- Power cap: Activity Power Disabled
- Normal Modifiers: None
- Legendary Modifiers: Chaff, Galvanized, Multiplicity, Hot Knife
In order to complete the fourth mission, The Final Shape, in Destiny 2, you must locate Commander Zavala and his ghost, Targe. This mission includes a new Symbol mechanic that is similar to the one encountered in the Vow of the Disciple Raid.
When using this mechanic, shooting a highlighted node will grant you the Glyphtouched buff and will result in enemies spawning either at your current location or in its vicinity. After defeating all enemies, a glyph symbol will appear.
To successfully nullify a Warder’s glyph, you must first remember the symbol and then interact with a node that bears the same symbol near the initial barrier. If done accurately, a message will display stating “A Warder’s glyph has been nullified.”
Continue navigating through the caverns until you reach Zavala’s homestead on the hillside. Here, you will face a large number of Fallen foes, including a Brig, two Subjugators, and a Tormentor. The mission will be complete once you have vanquished these creatures.
Mission 5: Ascent
- Power cap: Activity Power Disabled
- Normal Modifiers: None
- Legendary Modifiers: Chaff, Galvanized, Multiplicity, Epitaph, Shocker
In this mission, a new mechanic will be introduced where you must use a Taken ball to hit the gates that are covered by Taken Blight.
The primary mechanic for this mission in the Destiny 2 The Final Shape campaign involves repeating a specific task until you reach the Vex boss, who is located in a small room.
In addition to encountering multiple Subjugators here, make use of the Prismatic Wells that appear in the boss room to defeat these enemies. But the mission is not yet over, as you will still need to complete three Lost Sectors in the missions The Message I, II, and III.
Mission 6: Liminality
The new Strike introduced in Destiny 2, The Final Shape, features Liminality. The objective of this Strike is to defeat a Tormentor of the Ahamkaras. The main mechanic of this Strike involves collecting various Taken Essence charges and utilizing them to empower Ahamkara skulls.
Nevertheless, acquiring a Taken Essence will result in a new puzzle that must be solved to escape the room and reach the Ahamkara Skulls. Once the Tormentor is defeated, the mission will be successfully accomplished.
It should be noted that the Strike and Lost Sectors are set to Normal difficulty, regardless of whether you are playing the Destiny 2 The Final Shape campaign on Legend difficulty.
Prismatic will help you through most of the missions in the campaign.
Dissenting Against Mission 7
- Power cap: Activity Power Disabled
- Normal Modifiers: None
- Legendary Modifiers: Chaff, Galvanized, Fire Pit, Empath
To complete this task, you must accompany Targe and find Zavala, who has ventured off to defeat the Witness alone. Along the way, you will encounter several Veiled statues that reveal the origin of the Witness and offer a possible solution for defeating it.
The main objective of this mission is to survive the attacks from the forces of the Darkness. Along the way, you will encounter Tormentors in battle. After completing this task, you will reach a room with peculiar platforms resembling LEGO bricks.
To successfully defeat the boss on the central platform, you must first defeat the two Subjugators located on either side of the room. Once they have been defeated, use the Aegis on the main boss to lower its shield and emerge victorious.
Mission 8: Iconoclasm
- Power cap: Activity Power Disabled
- Normal Modifiers: None
- Legendary Modifiers: Chaff, Galvanized, Multiplicity, Epitaph
This is the concluding mission of Destiny 2’s The Final Shape campaign and is arguably the most challenging one yet. To successfully complete this mission, you will need to utilize all the mechanics that you have acquired throughout The Final Shape thus far.
In order to reach the final boss arena, you will need to defeat numerous Tormentors and Subjugators along the way. Once there, you will have to confront the Witness and his Subjugators.
To emerge victorious in the ultimate battle, you must shoot nodes to obtain the “protection against Darkness”buff and retrieve the Aegis from the room to shatter the Subjugators’ shield.
Once you have successfully broken the Subjugator’s shield, the Witness will initiate a powerful attack that has the potential to instantly defeat you. The key to surviving this attack is to position yourself and your teammates on the vein of light located in the center of the arena and utilize the Aegis to create a protective dome.
Once you have successfully defeated the initial Subjugator, you will gain access to a Sword of Light which can be used to destroy a Darkness statue. After completing this task three times, the Witness will become enraged and you will be expelled from the arena, marking the end of the mission.
Last mission TBA
The final mission of Destiny 2’s The Final Shape campaign will be released after the conclusion of the Day 1 Raid Race on June 9, 2024. As soon as the mission becomes available in the game, we will update this piece with further details.
