In Destiny 2, Savathûn’s Song is the Nightfall Strike this week. With these tips, you will succeed in the Nightfall.
In the strike “Savathûn’s Song,” you will face the Hive on Titan. You must delve deep into the Arcology and search for a missing fireteam. Along the way, you will interrupt several Hive summoning rituals and ultimately face a large Screecher known as Savathûn’s Song.
Since October 3rd, this strike has been the Nightfall strike in Destiny 2. In a Nightfall strike, the challenge is greater than in a normal strike, but so are the rewards. Powerful gear up to the highest power level awaits as a weekly reward.
Savathûn’s Song – Nightfall Modifiers and Challenges
As in every Nightfall strike, time is also pressing in Savathûn’s Song. This is due to the modifier “Time Loop: Anomalies.” Here are the two modifiers:
- Time Loop Anomalies: Destroy anomalies to extend the mission timer. You start with 14 minutes (Normal) or 9 minutes (Prestige)
- Momentum: Health and shield regeneration are disabled while standing still. Sprint to charge them faster.
The anomalies appear at specific locations in the strike. They must be shot to grant extra time. Nexxoss Gaming shows them to you in his guide to the Nightfall strike:
The challenges in the Nightfall strike:
- Complete the Nightfall with at least 5 minutes remaining.
- Complete the Nightfall with less than 3 deaths.
- Shoot 15 of its projectiles before defeating Savathûn’s Song.
Tips for the Nightfall Strike
With these tips, you should quickly get through the Nightfall:
- Decide in advance who will take care of the anomalies. While this Guardian eliminates the anomalies, the other two Guardians can keep running and already defeat enemies.
- As weapons, Nexxoss Gaming recommends a rocket launcher (preferably with cluster bombs, good against Ogres) and a solar energy weapon like the Sunshot (good against Witches). This is also strong as it deals explosive damage.
- Take at least one Nightstalker Hunter with Orpheus Rig to chain enemies and generate many orbs.
- Remember that you need to run to regenerate your health points. Since this is impractical in many situations, make sure to take a Warlock with Healing Rift.
- Also: Choose Guardian subclasses that restore your health, like the Code of the Siege Breakers from the Sunbreaker Titan: Solar ability kills will restore your health here.
- Hunters can use their invisibility to charge while running.
Notes:
- There are one or two bugs in this Nightfall. Sometimes the crystals that need to be destroyed do not spawn correctly. You may need to restart.
- A “Nightfall Cheese” has been discovered, with which you can gain a lot of extra time: Anomalies spawn in the Solarium. If you run to the next area and then go back to the Solarium, the anomalies will be back.
