Before starting the encounter, divide the team up into two teams of three. One team will become the Conflux Team, and the other is the Boss Team. There are very few roles that have to be switched up during this encounter, but for the majority of the time, these teams will be on their own. To begin the Destiny 2 encounter, stand at the center conflux where the last encounter ended. All Fireteam members will link up at this point and be tethered together through a beam, linking to a square off in the distance. Everyone will gain the Enlightened buff for a short time, and the Consecrated Mind will spawn. For now, it is immune to dam

With Destiny 2's enduring popularity and its healthy cosmetic market, "Uma Uma Dance" finally arrived to Eververse as the legendary Cat Ear Dance emote in Season 14. Sure, it's a well-traveled meme that's saccharine cute, but seeing humanity's saviors gyrating across the galaxy in cat ears is brilliant, spawning a slew of Destiny 2 Cheats-themed "Uma Uma Dance" videos of their

After depositing the motes, Portal Team One will have the same Enlightened buff that was seen in previous encounters. They'll be able to break the shields of immune enemies, but only for 45 seconds. It's best to focus on breaking as many enemy shields as possible while the effect is up so the Conflux Team can continue to defend both Confluxes, and there are plenty of the Season of the Lost weapons that can help. After Portal Team One returns, break another of the same side part for Portal Team Two to go through and gather motes. They'll return, deposit their motes, and the same process will be repeated for the other side. Portal Team Two can enter the portal that is used to bring back Portal Team One, and it's recommended to do this so only one Cyclops spawns at a t

Destiny's various game modes are some of its most defining features. From the PvP Crucible to the PvE strikes and endgame raids, the game has constantly tweaked and adjusted these areas, adding maps and modes all along the way. One of the more popular modes (and characters) is Gambit and the Drifter, which were only added in Forsa

Head inside and the chest will be guarded by some Taken. Defeat them, and open the chest to complete the Abandoned Triumph and Trivial Myst

Season of the Hunt introduced Wrathborn Hunts to Destiny 2. Unlike previous arena activities, Wrathborn Hunts focus on tracking down a single enemy and killing them in an instanced mission. Completing a mission grants a certain item based on what Lure Mods are slotted into your Cryptolith L

Destroying the Sanctified Mind's shoulder in Destiny 2 will spawn a red portal, and the leg will spawn a blue portal. It's best to destroy these parts one at a time because Cyclops will spawn every time a portal spawns. Too many Cyclops can become easily overwhelming in this encounter because they each have clear vantage points over the entire Fireteam. After spawning a portal, Portal Team One needs to go in and enemies to gather as many Voltaic Motes as possible (anywhere from 15-18). Each player can only hold 10 at a time, and it takes 30 motes to fill a single Conflux. After they gather all the motes, shoot the appropriate body part again to bring them back. They need to deposit their motes in the matching portal color's conflux (red to red or blue to bl

The new member of the Boss Team will pick up the next round of Voltaic Overflow, and by that time the original two teammates will have had their effects worn off. Continue this until the Conflux Team deposits the 30 motes, as if they're playing Gambit , and then the Consecrated Mind will be drawn to the Conflux. At the Conflux, the Consecrated Mind will spread its appendages and have multiple red lights showing. Have the Fireteam regroup as a whole, and destroy all of the eyes to officially begin the damage phase. Don't be too close to it, otherwise, it will wipe the t

The Wayfinder's Compass is the key to finding the Trivial Mysteries in the Forest of Echoes. Before finding any of the mysteries, the Wayfinder's Compass will have to upgrade with Barrier Breach. This is a natural part of the Season of the Lost questline, so Destiny 2 will guide everyone through it naturally in the early stages. Once the upgrade is equipped, the next step is to head to the Forest of Ech

Trials of the Nine served the same purpose, with slightly altered rules. Only one revive, but only one victory to reach the unique social space. The concept was retired upon the release of Forsaken, with no alternative available until the return of Trials of Osi

All of these activities offer a small chunk of Glimmer and a few Rares, infrequently rewarding a Legendary world drop. The days of farming public events for Exotics are long gone. You would be better off spending that time elsewh
