10 Bugs that could cost you the Conqueror title in Destiny 2

In Destiny 2, the hunt for the ultimate PvE title “Conqueror” begins with the Weekly Reset on October 5th. However, the path to triumph in Season 15 is doubly challenging. Not only are three of the toughest strikes in the game involved in the Nightfall rotation, but there are also many currently unfixed bugs that could cost you the coveted Conqueror title.

The Nightfall test in the Grandmaster difficulty was introduced last year, in 2020, with the Shadowkeep expansion. Since then, this activity has been the PvE endgame counterpart to the Trials of Osiris.

This is why Grandmaster is so challenging in Season 15: First of all, players agree in Season 15 that the selection of Nightfall strikes available makes for a tough battle for the Conqueror title.

Among the six strikes that need to be completed, three of the hardest Nightfall strikes are:

• “The Hollowed Lair” in the Tangled Shore
• “The Lake of Shadows” in the European Dead Zone
• “Exodus Crash” on Nessus
• “The Corrupted” in the Dreaming City
• “The Devil’s Lair” in the Cosmodrome
• “The Devil’s Playground” on Nessus

All important information about the mode “Grandmaster” and how to start it:

This is why Grandmaster is currently so unfair: If players still want to tackle all seasonal Grandmaster Nightfalls in Season 15, they will face additional annoying and unfortunately already well-known bugs. Usually, Bungie has fixed such errors before the start of the prestigious activity in previous seasons. Thus, a fair competition for the title and the gilding was possible again.

No wonder players are worried that these unfixed bugs might become a major problem in the Grandmaster Nightfalls and especially for the title gilding in the current Season 15.

These bugs are causing nasty Nightfall wipes:

The most affected strikes are “The Hollowed Lair,” “Exodus Crash,” and “The Corrupted.”

These are the errors in detail:

The Hollowed Lair, Tangled Shore

1. If the tank is killed too quickly, you can continue playing, but you won’t make any progress, and the door to the next area remains closed to the team.
2. If the Fanatic’s shield breaks, the teleportation to the boss sometimes doesn’t end correctly. This results in players getting pulled to the boss unintentional and smashed by him. In the Grandmaster Nightfall, automatic resurrection is not possible. In this case, teammates have to risk their own lives to revive a teammate right in front of the boss. The only option would be to finish the Grandmaster Nightfall alone.

Exodus Crash, Nessus

1. The Arc energy beams that need to be collected at the start of the Nightfall strike do not always appear reliably. This causes a soft lock, and you’ll have to start over.
2. The boss can remain invisible for extended periods, making the boss fight even more challenging. During this time, new enemies continue to spawn.
3. The Anti-Barrier Champions in the boss room sometimes ignore players and wander aimlessly through the area.

The Corrupted, Dreaming City

1. The health regeneration of Overload Hobgoblins resumes immediately after being stopped, even though they are stunned and constantly being shot by Overload weapons.
2. Stunned Overload Champions, in this case, the Hobgoblins, continue to shoot at players with their weapon despite being under constant fire from Overload weapons.
3. The lift sometimes cannot be activated, meaning that progress is no longer possible as the phase cannot be triggered.
4. If a team member dies in the phase with the “Twins of Sorrow,” their revival can cause a respawn in the wrong area. Depending on when this happens, it may no longer be possible to follow your teammates since the portal is only open on one side.
5. In the boss fight, from the second shield phase onward, Sed’s energy shield will not be shown to the players, although it is still present and therefore not destroyed.

Especially “The Corrupted” contains many of the nasty bugs, which is why players have already renamed the strike to “The Corrupter.”

Players are asking: “When will a patch for the problems arrive?”

Players previously requested from Bungie on reddit a month ago that these bugs must be fixed before the start of the Nightfall Grandmaster. They are worried that they won’t be able to earn the associated Conqueror title with gilding due to errors and other defective elements.

The Nightfall strikes should better be disabled until a proper solution is found. The errors are noticeable at all difficulty levels, including in the “Grandmaster.”

What we know so far: So far, Bungie has not announced a patch for the bugs listed above. Let’s hope that all known bugs and issues will be fixed by the reset on October 5th.
