‘Destiny’ Weekly Reset For Sept. 29, Balwur Joins Court Of Oryx


The release of Destiny: The Taken King enters its third week with a new Weekly Reset that hit Tuesday. PlayStation and Xbox players can look forward to a new Tier 3 boss named Balwur to face off against in the Court of Oryx while the Nightfall may test their patience.

As always, this rotation of Destiny activities will last through the following Tuesday at approximately 5 a.m. ET / 2 a.m. PT. A new set of activities will launch then. Weekly Crucible bounties are dependent on completing the Crucible Quest Line given by Lord Shaxx.

Nightfall – Undying Mind

Meridian Bay, Mars: An ancient Mind, feared by the Vex themselves, hides among the channels of the Black Garden. Find this machine and end its existence.

Modifiers

  • Epic – Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.
  • Solar – Solar Damage from any source is greatly increased (doubled for Guardians, tripled for minions).
  • Juggler – No ammo drops for your equipped weapon.
  • Catapult – Grenade recharge rate is greatly increased.
  • Fresh Troops – Some enemy squads have been fortified with additional reinforcements.

Court of Oryx

Tier 3: Balwur

The Wizard Balwur may be the easiest Tier 3 boss to appear in the Court of Oryx yet. The hook with her is the floor of the court is covered in poison except for the area underneath the platform. Balwur spawns on top of the platform while Major Acolytes, Knights, and Thrall will spawn and move around the arena. The platform is poison free, but obviously dangerous because Balwur will shoot players and drop poison clouds.

Players will need to kill Major Acolytes to create poison free spaces outside of the safe zone underneath the platform for a period of time. Players can then move out from the underneath the platform, into the poison-free areas, and shoot Balwur. Repeat as many times as necessary to bring her down.
