As a Guardian who's chased every major title since Forsaken, I knew Destiny 2's Revenant episode would test my limits when I saw that menacing Slayer Baron seal. That 50-wave Onslaught marathon? Just the appetizer. Bungie crafted a deliciously brutal buffet of 16 Triumphs where only 15 were needed, letting me ditch one nightmare—probably Medicinal Master's 100-tonic crafts—while keeping my sanity intact. Here's how I conquered this Scorn-infested gauntlet across the Tangled Shore's revamped tombs and Last City alchemy labs.
🗡️ Risen And Fallen
My journey began with the Revenant storyline, weaving through Acts 1-3 like a spider through its web. That final Kell's Fall Exotic mission? Pure chaos. I dragged two clanmates into that darkness-riddled arena, our Wellocks and Banner Titans barely holding against the final boss's torrent of void blasts. Pro tip: Don't sleep on Strand suspend builds—they saved our wipe counter three times!
People Also Ask: "Can you solo Kell's Fall?" Absolutely—if you're a masochist with god-tier dodging skills. For us mortals? LFG is your lifeline.
⚔️ Onslaught Domination
Nothing prepares you for wave 47 of Onslaught: Salvation. My fireteam became scrap-hoarding demons, frantically upgrading arc turrets between Scorn hordes. By wave 50, our defenses looked like a mad scientist's lab! Key lessons:
-
Sabotage Barrage: Those glowing Saboteurs? They melt to Gjallarhorn swarms
-
Eliksni Defender: -20 Power delta means bring meta or die (I ran Solar Bonk Hammer)
-
Barren Ground: Baron respawn mechanics demand heavy ammo conservation
💀 Tomb Raiding Secrets
The Tomb of Elders became my second home. Four unique bosses meant grinding until Sylok's shrieks haunted my dreams. Tomb-Runner laps blurred together—until Kell's Vengeance dropped in Act 3. That modifier? Imagine grenades raining like confetti at a vex wedding.
🔫 Exotic Ordeals
Kell's Fall on Expert broke me. Champions swarmed like cockroaches, demanding perfect coordination. We cheesed it with triple Well of Radiance and Wish-Keeper bows. But the real agony? Hunting those 12 illusory anchors for Slayer's Fang catalysts. Miss one? Back to orbit!
🧪 Tonic Trials
Eido's fieldworks nearly broke me. Four major bounties required grinding minor ones first—all tied to discovering recipes. Crafting 100 tonics felt like alchemy hell! Progression tip: Focus on Act-specific collections for Cordial Collector first.
People Also Ask: "What's the fastest ritual weapon grind?" Crucible! Shaxx's bounties with double XP weekends got my Fair Judgment auto rifle in 8 hours.
⚖️ The Real Triumph
Completing Slayer Baron left me hollow. Was this grind meaningful—or just digital hamster wheel? The title gleams bright, but Revenant's true victory was rediscovering that Destiny magic: friends screaming over comms as we clutched wave 50 by 1% ADU health. Maybe titles aren't the goal. Maybe... it's the chaos we create along the way. What legacy will your Guardian forge when the next episode drops?
