In the MMO shooter Destiny, the week begins on Tuesday, 18th August. A new weekly Nightfall strike is determined, and the occupation of the Prison of Elders changes. Variks receives new inventory. What will come out this time?
The challenge in Destiny at the moment is not to deal with the Servants of Darkness, but rather to follow the news. There is really a lot going on. Tomorrow evening at 8:00 PM, a first live stream will take place. We will embed it here in an article and comment on it in German.
But now let’s get to the weekly reset.
Weekly Nightfall Strike on 18th August features Taniks
The DLC-2 strike Shadow Thief is back. The modifiers are Voidburn, Solarburn and Grounded.
This week’s heroic weekly is Phogoth
Everyone’s favorite ogre Phogoth is featured in the Heroic Weekly. The modifier here is: Small Weapons.

Guides? Tips? Tricks?
We will present one or the other video throughout the day, in which a group of Guardians manages to overcome one of the challenges this week.
Our friend Nexxos is taking on Taniks. It’s the international “I’m blowing everything away with Gjallarhorn” days, and then also “Solar Burn” – the result of this combination should be clear, although more of Crota’s word and Black Spindle can be seen in this video. However, be careful: With all the modifiers Taniks and his crew hit like horses on this killer stuff … oats!
The challenges here do not support matchmaking (except for the heroic strike), but you need two mates for them. You have to find them yourself. We discussed how you can find German-speaking players for Destiny in this article.
