Guardians, are you ready to delve into the twisted depths of the Dreaming City and emerge with a shiny new Exotic? Kell's Fall, the latest Exotic mission to hit Destiny 2, is a thrilling challenge that will test your skills, your strategy, and maybe even your sanity. But fear not, for CarrySquad is here to guide you every step of the way.

The Setup:

Eris Morn has a new mission for you, Guardian.  Araskes, the Trickster, and Fikrul, the Fanatic, are up to their old tricks, and it's up to you to stop them.  This time, your journey takes you to a corrupted corner of the Dreaming City, where reality itself is as much of an enemy as the Scorn.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough:

Twisted Watchtower: You'll start by navigating the familiar terrain of a Dreaming City watchtower, now warped and overrun by Scorn.  But be warned, the Trickster lurks nearby, ready to ambush you with her teleporting shenanigans. Focus your fire, anticipate her movements, and force her to retreat.

Fortress of Illusions:  With Araskes temporarily out of the picture, venture into the fortress.  Prepare for a maze of corridors, traps, and hidden pathways.  The Scorn are relentless, so stay sharp and keep your eyes peeled for secrets.

Trial by Combat: Descend into the heart of the fortress, a brutal fighting pit where waves of enemies await.  Champions will test your skills, so make sure your loadout is up to the task.  This is where your mastery of Strand will truly shine. Use your grappling hook to gain advantageous positions and unleash devastating attacks.

The Sanctum Awaits:  Emerging from the pit, you'll face more platforming challenges and illusions.  The path to Fikrul's inner sanctum is a twisted one, filled with deceptive twists and turns.

Fikrul's Throne Room:  Finally, you'll reach the grand chamber where the Fanatic himself awaits.  This encounter is a true test of your abilities. Fikrul will unleash a devastating wipe mechanic, forcing you to utilize the mirror dimension to survive.

Mirror Mastery: When Fikrul initiates his wipe attack, dive into the nearby Mirror Portal.  Here, you'll need to collect Revenant Motes from "Revenant Essencia" enemies. Gather enough motes to gain the Revenant Empowerment buff, then return to the main dimension to continue your assault on Fikrul.

Hangman's Gambit: Once Fikrul falls, a new challenger approaches: Reksis Vahn, the Hangman. This formidable foe will test your Revenant abilities to their limits.  Utilize the Revenant Empowerment buff and unleash your full arsenal to defeat him.

Claim Your Prize:

With the Hangman vanquished, the Slayer's Fang Exotic shotgun is yours.  This powerful Void shotgun fires a volley of projectiles that track enemies, making it a formidable weapon against any foe.

CarrySquad Tips for Triumph:

  • Strand Supreme: Embrace the power of Strand. Its grappling and crowd-control abilities are invaluable in Kell's Fall.
  • Weapon Wisely:  Bring weapons that can deal with Overload and Unstoppable Champions. A good mix of damage types is also recommended.
  • Tonic Time:  Experiment with different tonics to find combinations that suit your playstyle and enhance your abilities.
  • Secret Hunting:  Kell's Fall is packed with secrets. Explore every nook and cranny to find hidden areas, loot, and lore.
  • Teamwork Makes the Dream Work:  Coordinate with your fireteam, especially during the Fikrul and Hangman encounters. Communication is key to surviving their devastating attacks.

Easter Egg Hunt:

Keep an eye out for hidden symbols and messages throughout the mission. Some of these may lead to secret areas or lore entries.  And pay attention to the music and sound design. There are some subtle cues and Easter eggs hidden within the audio.

Boost Your Guardian:

  • Power Up:  Make sure you're at or near the recommended Power level for the mission.
  • Optimize Your Build:  Choose armor and mods that complement your playstyle and the challenges of Kell's Fall.
  • Practice Makes Perfect:  Spend time in other activities to hone your skills and master your chosen subclass.
