Destiny 2: The Journey So Far

That mentality extends to the way Bungie is handling post-launch content. Season of the Undying sees waves of Vex arriving via a storm to take over the Moon. Watching them arrive is breathtaking, and the firefights that ensue are hectic and enjoyable. Then there's the new Vex Offensive activity, which allows players to travel back to the Black Garden to take on the Vex. It's a surprisingly robust seasonal activity and it'll be interesting to see what lasting impact the Vex have on the Moon once the Season is over.


Some strikes just do not live up to expectations. It isn't that players want each strike to live up to the hype or be bone-crushingly difficult, it is just they would prefer a snippet of edge-of-your-seat action during one of these events. Sadly, once players get past a few somewhat rough encounters with the enemy in The Insight Terminus, they will soon encounter one of the weakest bosses in the game. Kargen the Technocrat fails to live up to his billing, allowing players to easily walk all over


The best lesson that this strike has to offer is to be prepared and to be prepared quickly because enemies will feel endless in The Hollowed Lair strike . Players will be unable to catch their breath as they try to coordinate between various different attacks coming at them from all directions. It might take a time or two for players to get used to the energy exerted in this strike but once players find their footing, beyond the pace and amount of enemies present, this is one of the easier strikes they will f


As part of the Vex race, the Protheon Modular Mind is the final boss of the Inverted Spire Strike. As the head honcho, the Boss has the ability to summon Harpies, Goblins, and other Vex foes to fight beside

In the stream following the reveal of Forsaken, Bungie’s representatives took some time to do fans a "favor" and better explain what exactly will be included in the Annual Pass. Put simply, it will consist of new challenges, new gear, new lore, new challenges and new events. It all sounds good doesn’t it; as if they’ve finally found a way to keep new content coming outside the major expansions? Except that just about all of this is content that, even as recently as this past April, was all offered free of charge. To some this change might not seem like a big deal, their likely reasoning being that Bungie shouldn’t have to work for free. That’s true. They shouldn’t and they never have been. They’ve always been paid for it through the microtransactions offered through the Eververse cash shop. What’s more, acquiring funding for these "free" updates was and is the entire justification for having the Eververse in the first place .


Follow the Toland light orb around the room. Cleansing Light or Dark plates and Prismatic Subclass then standing in the middle of the room will flip it. Find the orb and then cleanse the plate underneath it to make progress. While doing this, avoid and kill Hobgoblins and Knight Echos. A Knight Echo will spawn whenever a Hobgoblin is killed. Light up the six sides of the cube in the middle of the arena, and find a small crack in the wall to go back to the Wastel

Destiny campaigns have always been mind-numbing thanks to heavy-handed writing and mission design that overly relies on mundane busywork. The stories nearly always end up being vague, open-ended and unsatisfying. Forsaken changed that by making the story more personal and finding new and engaging ways to push that narrative forward. Shadowkeep, on the other hand, is content with regressing all that hard work. Aside from strong opening and closing missions, Shadowkeep barely delivers any meaningful revelations or character development. You, Eris Morn and the remainder of the Vanguard remain blank slates with surface-level characterizations. With the most emotive member of the cast, Cayde-6, dead, Destiny desperately needs NPCs with some personality. Unfortunately, that isn't found anywhere in Shadowkeep.


Defeat Taken enemies and clear the Wasteland of Taken Blights. Since it is a Darkness Zone, make sure that at least one of your teammates is alive at a time, or you will need to restart at the last checkpoint. If you find a small structure covered in sand, enter it to find a secret chest. This may be a way to raise your power level before the final boss fight. Find a large building with a small tunnel that glows pink. Take this tunnel to the Hexahed

Destiny 2’s fourth expansion, Shadowkeep, and its most recent seasons have kept the positive momentum going. With the release of Shadowkeep, Guardians got to return to The Moon to take on nightmarish versions of many defeated foes. The main content additions also included two new strikes, one new Crucible map, two new-ish Crucible Maps and the "Garden of Salvation" raid. Shadowkeep also brought with it the reorganization of the Crucible and the launch of "Armor 2.0."

Probably the biggest albatross hanging over the entire expansion, however, is the lack of anything new. Despite some additional areas to explore and a fresh coat of paint, this is a map players already paid $60 to explore back in 2014. Nightmares are just reskinned versions of enemies we've already fought and they don't behave any differently. Two of the three new Crucible maps are remasters of old maps. The new Nightmare activities are against bosses that players have already fought hundreds of times. The new Strikes and Raid are excellent additions, but you don't even need to own Shadowkeep to play the Strikes. For $34.99, players should expect more and Bungie should have provided plenty of new content rather than rehashing older material.
