Downfall Mission Walkthrough in Destiny 2
Once you complete the Under Siege mission, Downfall will be available to play. To start the mission, make your way to the Lightfall Campaign banner. Once you interact with the banner, you can choose to add members to your team and launch the mission. Once you do, complete the following checkpoints:
- Reach the Typhone Imperator
- Infiltrate the Fortress Ship
- Destroy Shadow Legion Ships
- Defeat the Tormentor
- Destroy the Radial Mast
Reach the Typhone Imperator
The Typhone Imperator is Calus’ fortress ship located in the eastern part of Neomuna. Once you reach Ahimsa Park, you’ll hit a Suppression Field that’ll restrict your respawning. Moreover, a wave of Cabal soldiers will come at you.
After defeating all the enemies, look for a black glowing stone with a yellow aura at the entrance of the ship. This is the key to opening the barrier. Shoot at it and the entrance to the ship will open up.
Infiltrate the Fortress Ship
Once you enter, check out the minimap to navigate the ship. The next part is jumping through obstacles and hitting some low-level enemies. Eventually, you’ll reach a room with Calus’ golden statue. Here, you’ll be ambushed by strong enemies so be prepared. Once you beat them, you’ll find a door to the right of the statue. Break the black stones to open it.
Then, take the Grav Lift till you reach an entrance at the end.
Destroy Shadow Legion Ships
Once you reach a room where the Legion Ships are parked, many enemies will spawn. Defeat them and make your way to the Dark Resonance Orb. Once you carry it, more enemies will spawn. Defeat a few and dodge the others and place the Orb in the artifact.
Defeat the Tormentor
After placing the orb, the ships will be sabotaged and a new boss will spawn. The Tormentor is tough and can eliminate you if you’re not careful. But, you can check out this guide to beat this Downfall Mission boss.
Destroy the Radial Mast
After beating the Tormentor, progress further and you’ll reach a Colosseum. This is where you’ll meet Calus. You’ll have to defeat loads of enemies here and deposit two Resonance Orbs. Once you do that, a new boss will spawn. Calus will call it his champion and you cannot kill it. So make your way to the marked coordinates while Caital talks to you.
Escape Calus’ Ship
Once you cross the Golden Barrier, a countdown will start. You’ll have 1:30 minutes to escape the ship. Don’t just run, it’ll take forever. Take out your Sparrow and make your way through the obstacles. Avoid hitting any or the Sparrow will take damage and blow up after a point.
Once you escape Calus’ ship, the Downfall mission is complete. To help you get a better idea, we’ll link a video from a YouTuber called ZaFrostPet.
