In Destiny, the Nightfall, the weekly dusk strike, for the week of March 3rd, leads into the Devil’s Cave. It’s against Sepiks Prime.
Yep, no surprises: It’s actually Sepiks Prime Arc Burn, once again the predictions were correct. That’s why we could prepare the article early and are 25 minutes faster than usual.
The Nightfall in Destiny is so popular because it grants a 24.5% bonus on all earned experience and reputation. Therefore, many players start their Destiny week on Tuesday at 10:00 AM with it.
The following five modifiers are active in the Nightfall from March 3rd in Destiny
The following 5 modifiers are active:
- Nightfall – this is always active and ensures that it returns to orbit when all Guardians die
- Epic – also always active, gives the extra bite, the enemies are slightly stronger due to this modifier
- Angry – the enemies cannot be stopped even by heavy damage
- Lightswitch – the enemies deal significantly increased damage in close combat
- Arc Burn – weapons that deal Arc damage do significantly increased damage
In the heroic weekly, Lightswitch is active and no burn.
Which arsenal should one prefer?
This week is once again a “typical” Nightfall with only one burn. There are clear recommendations:
- As a primary weapon, Thorn or the raid scout rifle Ir Yût’s Fang are suitable.
- As a special weapon, a sniper rifle with Arc damage such as LDR 5001, Patience and Time, or an Arc version of Efrideet’s Spear, the newly randomizable Iron Banner weapon, is usually recommended. However, since the last patch shotguns and fusion rifles have become significantly stronger. It makes sense to experiment with an Arc version here, although in the Nightfall, it’s usually preferred to leave as much space between yourself and the enemy as possible.
- As a heavy weapon, the exotic machine gun Thunderlord stands out, or legendary Arc machine guns like The Swarm or the raid machine gun Ir Yût’s Song are available.
Tips, tricks, safe spots, and guides for the weekly dusk strike Devil’s Cave?
The Arc Nightfall against Sepiks Prime is considered a fast strike, not particularly easy in difficulty, but also not extremely hard.
The tip is always: Don’t let yourself get hit more than once, better play cautiously and regenerate HP first. The fewer players you go in with, the more important it is to play cautiously.
Throughout the day we will present videos and clips of successful runs against Sepiks Prime. If you can’t wait: Here is our article about the last time the Nightfall was active in this combination. There are already videos with all the tricks and cheese spots that Destiny players love.
It has almost become a tradition: NexxosGaming is always the first German-speaking channel to tackle the Nightfall. And he always explains it well and has an eye for the best cheese spots. That’s kind of his thing. This time going in as a three-player team. The perspective bearer uses Ir Yût’s Fang, the new scout, then the Light of the Abyss, the raid fusion rifle, and as a heavy weapon, the Thunderlord. A nice, easy run, well explained, not too stressful with three people.
This speed run by three Guardians comes without commentary. The perspective bearer uses Thorn, LDR 5001, and the Gjallarhorn – yes, it ends as quickly as it sounds.

And here is a solo walkthrough in English that explains a lot, with various tricks for the whole raid and safe spots for Sepiks Prime. The player uses an Arc variant of the rocket launcher Radegast’s Fury, the scout rifle Ghealeon’s Downfall (an unusual choice), and the exotic sniper rifle Patience and Time. Especially the rocket launcher performs surprisingly well.
