‘Destiny’ Weekly Reset For April 5: Warpriest, Sunless Cell Fill Gap Until April Update

Another Iron Banner has come and gone in Destiny. PlayStation and Xbox players can now look forward to the April update to the online shooter, as the Weekly Reset brings everyone back to the beginning of the King’s Fall Challenges, and the Sunless Cell beckons for Nightfall.

The third and final Destiny livestream for the April update is scheduled for Wednesday, April 6 at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT. Bungie will be reviewing the sandbox and Crucible updates to the game via their Twitch account. The studio previously detailed the new armor and vault space, as well as the new Prison of Elders challenges, Strikes, and light level increase in the first stream. The update will drop on Tuesday, April 12.

King’s Fall Raid Challenge Mode — Warpriest (Guide)

The first challenge for the King’s Fall Raid Challenge should be a snap for those experienced with the encounter already. The fireteam must ensure that no one player holds the aura during the damage phase more than once.

Since it typically takes three to five phases to take out the Warpriest, the fireteam just needs to have the players who last held the aura not step on a plate. Expert teams that can take the Destiny boss down in two phases shouldn’t have any trouble.

Possible rewards for the challenge on Normal include a 310 Light level Artifact and 310 Light level weapon, and one of the missing Calcified Fragments along with the normal chance at an Exotic. The rewards on Hard mode are a 320 Light level Artifact and 320 Light level weapon, plus the “Worm God’s Servant” emblem and the Calcified Fragment. You can get the Normal mode rewards in Hard mode in addition to the 320 level rewards.

Nightfall — Sunless Cell

Dreadnaught, Rings of Saturn Assault a prison deep in the heart of the Dreadnaught and put an end to a Hive champion.

Vanguard Heroic Strikes

Modifiers

Court of Oryx (Guide)

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 that 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, as 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 underneath the platform into the poison-free areas and shoot Balwur. Repeat as many times as necessary to bring her down.
