Additional Rewards
Here’s your reset activities for the week of January 30th – February 5th.
Flashpoint: Nessus
Travel to Nessus to complete Public Events to complete your Flashpoint milestone. Remember to turn your Public Events into Heroic Public Events for a chance at better loot. Once the Flashpoint milestone is complete look for the world boss at the end of the next Heroic Public Event following milestone completion. If you don’t know how to activate Heroic Public Events, read this article by AvgJoe227 Heroic Public Events and How to Start Them
Flashpoint Reward: Powerful Engram
Cayde-6 Treasure Maps: Nessus
Be sure to visit the Cayde-6 and purchase the 5 treasure maps (4600 glimmer each) leading to Cayde’s special loot chests before taking off to Nessus to complete your Flashpoint milestone.
Call to Arms: Crucible
Win glory by participating in Crucible matches. It typically takes between 5-7 matches to complete the milestone depending on if you are solo queuing or playing with clan mates. Playing crucible matches will earn you progress towards your Call to Arms milestone and your Clan XP milestone at the same time. Iron Banner counts towards your Call to Arms so you can kill 3 birds / milestones with one stone.
Call to Arms Reward: Powerful Engram
NightFall: Savathûn's Song (Titan)
Delve deep into the Hive-infested Arcology in search of missing fireteams.
Nightfall Modifiers:
- Momentum – Health and shield regeneration stop when you're not moving. Sprint to speed up regeneration.
- Timewarp: Anomalies – Strange anomalies have been detected in the area. Destroy them to release temporal energy and extend the mission timer.
Nightfall Challenges:
- Speed of Dark – Complete the Nightfall with at least 5 minutes remaining
- Unbroken – Complete the Nightfall with fewer than 3 deaths
- The Best Defense – Shoot down 15 of its projectiles before defeating Savathûn's Song.
Nightfall Reward: Powerful Engram
Raid: Leviathan
Board the Leviathan orbiting Nessus to defeat Calus, the Cabal Emperor.
Raid Challenges:
- The Proving – Complete every trial Calus has set before you
- The Labyrinth – Loot 3 of Calus’s gifts in the underbelly of the Leviathan
- The Pleasure Gardens - Relic holders can only shoot 1 plant. You'll have to kill dogs with 24 stacks or rotate relic holders to increase stacks
The Leviathan loot table has been removed since the loot tables have been unified and the loot is no longer tied to specific encounters. Everything available on the table has a chance to drop after each encounter.
Raid Lair: Eater of Worlds
Board the Leviathan orbiting Nessus to tackle the new Raid Lair - a shorter (in theory) raid encounter.
Raid Lair Challenges
- Clean Sweep - Clear each major encounter
- Moments of Power - Generate orbs multiple times
- The Big Numbers - Get precision kills
Eververse
Just because you're busy fighting doesn't mean you can't look good doing it. Here's your Eververse stock for this week.
Remember all progress on the Leviathan raid is reset as well as raid keys. Clan XP goals are also reset as each player can earn a cap of 5000 XP per character for a powerful engram while total clan XP is capped at 100,000.
Destiny update 1.1.2 (the one about Masterworks) went live on Tuesday, January 30th - you can read all about it here
Lastly, on Wednesday, the next episode of Bungie's webcomic, Fall of Osiris, will be available on Bungie.net.

Allons-y, Guardians!
