Destiny 2 King's Fall Raid Guide: How To Beat Every Encounter And Open Every Secret Chest

King’s Fall was a huge moment in the original Destiny: the culmination of the game’s biggest expansion, The Taken King, and the climax of the story of the Hive god Oryx’s quest for revenge against the Guardians. King’s Fall is back in Destiny 2, and while it’s mostly the same as Destiny veterans will remember, it also has undergone a few changes along the way. These include the introduction of Champions and some extra hidden rewards you can claim if you know where to look.

Below, you’ll find a complete and extensive rundown of everything you need to know to complete a normal difficulty run of King’s Fall (since the Master difficulty is not yet available). That includes tips and strategies for every encounter, as well as a rundown of where to find the raid’s three secret treasure chests. Bungie has added a fourth hidden reward as well, taking a page from Vow of the Disciple, with an extra reward chest you can unlock at the end of the raid; here’s how to nab it and take down Oryx once again.
