In the MMO shooter Destiny there is a new Nightfall strike and a challenge mode in the raid just before Christmas. Who challenges the players?
The rest of the year is pretty clear in Destiny: On December 29th, the Sparrow Racing League ends in the morning, and in the evening of the 29th, Lord Saladin arrives in the Tower and there will be a Year End Iron Banner. In the new year, it will continue first with a “small event,” before new content comes to the players.
Two questions are still open:
- Yes, is there something for Christmas?
- Does the quest with the 50 calcified fragments continue?
Maybe we will get answers today.

Nightfall Strike on 22.12. is The Undying Mind
The Nightfall strike this week is “The Undying Mind” – a strike that was previously exclusive to PlayStation.
Modifiers are:
- Bring it On – Enemies do not flinch
- Brawler – Guardians deal increased damage in melee
- Match Game – You should pay even more attention than usual to fight shielded enemies with matching elemental damage
- Burn – Abilities have a longer cooldown
Today on 22.12., the Black Spindle mission is available. Lost to the Light is the daily mission.

The Raid challenge is the Warpriest
This week, the Warpriest is active again as a challenge in challenge mode. How to defeat the Warpriest as a challenge mode in the raid and what loot awaits you can be read in this article.
After some statements on reddit that the challenge was different this week, the first streamers have now confirmed: The challenge is exactly the same as the first time the Warpriest was active. So it can also be completed by players who finished it the first time. And there will be rewards again.

The challenges are not doable for lone wolves. You will need to find a pack of players. How this works, we explained in this article.
