In Destiny 2, the final boss in the new Forsaken raid “Last Wish” was defeated for the first time after 17 hours. But the suffering continues for the fireteam.
Update: The raid has now been cracked! This has implications for all Guardians.
The World-First title is still not awarded: Bungie wants to reward the fireteam that completes the raid “Last Wish” first with glory, honor, and an array of exclusive rewards.
But this is taking significantly longer than some Guardians would have thought. While previous raids were completed in one go, the new raid is dragging on.
The most successful Guardians have pulled an all-nighter, but that’s not the end yet.
Attention: Thick spoilers for the raid ahead!
The path to the final boss in Last Wish
Update: Here is our detailed raid guide to Last Wish.
Yesterday, on September 14th at 7 PM, the new Forsaken raid “Last Wish” started. Numerous fireteams dove straight into this adventure to tackle the biggest PvE group activity in Destiny 2.
With Kalli, most hit a wall: However, the raid quickly proved to be a tough challenge. The recommended power level is 550, but the enemies already have a power level of 560 in the first raid encounter. This encounter takes place against Kalli, the Corrupted, where most directly failed.
How to defeat Kalli, the Corrupted? Our detailed raid guide will probably come tomorrow, once the mechanics are known in detail. You can find out how to defeat Kalli here.
What comes after Kalli? After Kalli, several bosses await the Guardians:
- One must defeat Shuro Chi
- Then take down Morgeth, the Pillar Guardian
- Then infiltrate a chamber
- And then Riven, the Thousand Voices, awaits the exhausted Guardians. This is a corrupted Ahamkara. At the beginning of the raid, players are instructed to kill Riven and grab her heart.
Between the phases, various jumping passages must be mastered.
But that’s not all
Today around noon our time (so in the middle of the night in the USA), the first fireteam managed to defeat Riven. The recommended power level for this encounter is 580. However, to everyone’s surprise, the raid is still not over.
Andrew Hopps, the raid team art lead at Bungie, directly communicated this on Twitter and confirmed: After Riven, there is still one more encounter!
The fireteam that is now in the truly final encounter belongs to the Redeem Clan. Redeem is known for numerous speedruns and World-First titles.
The streamer xGladd is still live-streaming and trying to complete the raid entirely. The final encounter involves Riven’s heart. We embed the Twitch stream here:
Currently, over 40,000 people are watching to see when the raid will finally be cracked.
The streamer has already made statements such as:
- Bungie is trolling us hard!
- Bungie, why do we have to keep suffering?
Community Manager dmg04 advised a few hours ago that the streamers should drink enough and eat healthy:
Update 2 PM: The raid has now been cracked! The World-First for “Last Wish” goes to Redeem.
How is the raid being received so far?
This is how fans are reacting: The first user reviews are overwhelmingly positive. People are glad to finally have a long and difficult raid that poses a great challenge even for the best. The design and atmosphere of the raid are impressive.
However, the biggest difficulty in the raid at present is that the Guardians are extremely underleveled. The best raid groups went in yesterday and today with Guardians whose power level was around 550. But the last raid encounters are set to 580.
Most Guardians will still have several weeks to level up their characters before they can complete the raid.
