Intro

The King’s Fall raid has returned in Destiny 2, bringing updated mechanics, challenging encounters, and exclusive loot. Originally introduced in The Taken King expansion, this iconic raid invites Guardians to battle Oryx, the Taken King, within the Dreadnaught. Our detailed guide will help you conquer the raid and claim victory over its toughest challenges.

To begin, enter the Hall of Souls, collect six relics, and activate statues to open the portal to the Court of Oryx.

King’s Fall Encounter Guide

Opening Encounter: Hall of Souls

Objective: Collect relics, fight off enemies, and power six statues to unlock the portal.

Steps Tips
Pick up the first two relics. Relics are found near columns outside the Court of Oryx.
Defeat enemies to lower force barriers. Guardians holding relics must deposit them simultaneously into the statues.
Repeat six times to power all statues. Work quickly—delays will reset your progress.

Tombships: Jumping Puzzle

Navigate swaying platforms and flying Tombships while dodging obstacles.

Tips for Success
Learn your subclass jump mechanics (e.g., triple jump for Hunters).
Follow the Tombships’ set trajectories and anticipate their movement.
Time jumps carefully—platforms and Tombships disappear quickly.

The Warpriest’s Trial

Objective: Synchronize aura transfers between Guardians to power the glyphs and unlock the gate.

Steps Tips
Split into two teams to defend totems. Assign captains to manage communication and coordination.
Rotate the aura among players. Each Guardian must step onto the totem to receive and transfer the aura.
Deposit Deathsinger’s Power at the glyph. Move quickly to prevent resets—10 cycles are required to complete the encounter.

The Warpriest (Boss 1)

Objective: Use glyph sequences to make the Warpriest vulnerable and deal damage while managing cover.

Mechanics Tips
Activate the correct glyph sequence. Stand on platforms in the order they light up.
Deal damage using “Brand of the Initiate.” Extend the buff by killing enemies while managing the timer.
Take cover from wipe mechanics. Use monuments for protection but plan for limited cover (4 cycles max).

Golgoroth’s Cellar

Navigate a dark maze filled with pits to reach the next encounter.

Tips for Success
Follow fireflies hovering over pits to avoid falling.
Stick together and communicate to locate the door to the next chamber.

Golgoroth (Boss 2)

Objective: Use Golgoroth’s Gaze and light pools to maximize damage phases.

Mechanics Tips
Assign one player to hold Golgoroth’s Gaze. Switch gaze holders after the timer expires to maintain damage phases.
Shoot bubbles to create light pools. Light pools significantly boost team damage output.
Avoid Curse Thralls in the pit. Clear adds quickly to focus on damaging Golgoroth.

Daughters of Oryx

Objective: Steal Deathsinger’s aura to protect the team and deal damage.

Steps Tips
Activate platforms to create a path. Assign one Guardian to jump to the spark while others defend.
Steal the aura and deal damage. Coordinate quickly—time is limited to kill each Daughter.

Oryx, the Taken King (Final Boss)

Objective: Use Corrupted Light spheres and damage phases to defeat Oryx.

Mechanics Tips
Summon platforms and kill ogres. Keep Corrupted Light spheres safe until needed.
Use the aura to protect against wipe attacks. Stand together in the aura to avoid being killed by Oryx’s attacks.
Trigger Corrupted Light detonations. Coordinate sphere detonations to maximize damage to Oryx.
