Another week means another Destiny 2 reset, and ushers in a brand new Nightfall to challenge. Destiny 2’s Nightfall this week is Savathun’s Song, and is gloriously tough.
This guide will help you understand the modifiers and how to use them to your advantage. As well as how to complete each challenge to get the most out of this week’s Nightfall.
Like all the others, Savathun’s Song must be completed within the time limit lest your fireteam faces defeat. Luckily, like most other Nightfalls there is a way to extend your time limit. The Time Warp-Anomalies modifier is active on this Strike, and should be familiar from the Exodus Crash Nightfall. Keep your eyes peeled for some floating anomalies, when these are shot they will add 30 seconds of time to your clock.
Another exciting modifier during this Nightfall is Momentum. If you stand still, you won’t regenerate any health, but if you’re on the move you will regenerate health even faster than normal. So adapt a Doom-Like mentality and try to keep moving, it is intense but it pays off.
Like most Nightfalls, the Speed of Dark challenge is active. This requires you to beat the Nightfall with five minutes or more remaining on the clock. In order to meet this requirement, you’ll want to constantly be moving towards your goal, and trying extra hard to hit every one of the anomalies.
The next challenge, Unbroken requires you to beat the Nightfall with less than three deaths. For this challenge, use Momentum to your advantage and always keep moving. The extra health regen will go a long ways in keeping you alive longer.
Lastly, The Best Defense challenge requires you to shoot down at least 15 projectiles. Keep your eyes to the sky and this one should be fairly easy to complete.
Savathun’s Song gives guardians a decent 14 minutes to complete. As long as you are hitting as many anomalies as possible and keeping a good pace, you should be able to complete all of the challenges pretty smoothly.
