‘Destiny’ Weekly Reset For Dec. 20, Sepiks Perfected Nightfall
The Dawning event has breathed some new life into Destiny for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners. The new Strike Scoring for both Heroic and Nightfall Strikes combined with Sparrow Racing League has broken up the monotony and given players new goals to achieve plus new ways to play. The fun continues for the week starting Tuesday, December 20, with a a new Nightfall and another shot at the coveted Ice Breaker Exotic Sniper Rifle.
As a reminder, The Dawning event will run through January 3, 2017. Strike Scoring will continue to hang around after that time, but Sparrow Racing will be relegated to private matches. In the meantime, be sure to pick up the Elite Bounties from Commander Zavala in the Tower and be sure to check out the new Bounties from Petra in the Reef.
Nightfall — Sepiks Perfected
Old Russia, Earth The Fallen House of Devils has found a way to resurrect Sepiks, their exalted Servitor and one time God. Fight to the Devils’ Lair and destroy him.
Modifiers
- Epic — Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.
- Berserk — Minions of the Darkness won’t flinch, even after massive damage.
- Small Arms — Primary Weapon damage is favored.
- Match Game — Enemy shields are resistant to all unmatched Elemental Damage.
- Airborne — Players deal more damage while in the air.
Weekly SIVA Crisis Heroic Strikes
Modifiers
- Heroic — Enemies appear in greater numbers and are more aggressive.
- Void Burn — Void damage from any source is greatly increased.
- Brawler — Guardian melee damage is greatly increased.
- Chaff — Player radar is disabled.
Wrath of the Machine Challenge Mode — Aksis
The second of the two Wrath of the Machine Raid challenges. For this challenge, at least one player on the Fireteam will need to supercharge and stun Aksis on each teleport. This is on every teleport, not just once per phase. Designating three players to handle this duty is the simplest solution, and they need to stand on plates located on the right, left, and back middle of the arena to do so. This leaves all three teleport locations covered when Aksis teleports to them.
Rewards include the SIVA Ornament and Exotic Engram on Hard mode difficulty. Meanwhile, 385 Light gear for Normal mode or 400 Light gear for Hard mode is also available, along with a Vosik’s Venom Emblem.

The Destiny King’s Fall Raid challenge caps off this week with special conditions to beat Oryx. The Challenge mode condition is that players must detonate 16 Blight bombs at the same time to bring Oryx’s health down from full to almost zero.
The rewards for Normal Mode are a guaranteed 320 Helmet or Primary Weapon, 320 Artifact, and a Calcified Fragment. The Hard mode loot is the same as normal, plus a 330 Helmet or Primary Weapon, a 330 Artifact, Emblem, and a new Ship.
Please consult this Inquisitr article for a full guide on how to beat the Oryx hard mode challenge.
Court of Oryx (Guide) — Tier 3: Thalnok
This mini-Crota boss plays similar to the final Dark Below Raid encounter in Destiny, with a couple of twists. It will require teamwork, as well. Like Crota, the only way to kill Thalnok is to bring his shields down to force him to kneel while a player whacks him with a sword dropped by a Knight.
