Epitaph
Taken combatants generate blight geysers when defeated.
In terms of difficulty, Derealize is slightly easier than an Expert-tier Lost Sector.
Floating eyes will inflict Suffocating Darkness if you’re within their line of sight.
At x20 stacks, you will fall to your knees and die.
Find cover to remove any stacks you’ve accumulated.
Up the path will be more Dread and a portal protected by Darkness resonance.
Clear out the nearby Dread and the subsequent Subjugator miniboss to remove the resonance field.
Hop through the portal and follow the path to reach the first encounter.
Here’s how to get Metastasized Essentia in Destiny 2!
You’ll need to remove roughly 10% of the boss' HP to phase it.
Once charged, an area will be marked on your HUD for deposit.
Walk up to the area to destroy your relic.
You will now beTorn Between Dimensions, the same debuff fromKing’s Fallbut without any downsides.
The final phase will teleport you to an enclosed space with no cover.
Have a close-range DPS weapon or a Super at the ready.
You’ll repeat this process once more to eliminate the Subjugator, juggling adds and relics throughout the encounter.
Play it safe, remember to use your Super, and focus the boss the instant they’re vulnerable.
The good news is that you’ve got the option to, and doing so is surprisingly easy.
You will be presented with four Hive runes in order from left to right.
If done correctly, you’ll see the rune dissipate from the escape code.
Repeat this process for all four runes until you’re freed from jail.
The next section is a fairly straightforward jumping puzzle, at least the first potion.
Some of these are rigged to push you back from pistons, so be careful before you jump.
You’ll be alternating DPS phases between each Knight.
Fight on the upper floors near cover or near the boss to avoid it.
Beyond that, this is a simple DPS check.
Once both Knights are heavily damaged, you will be forced to retreat and seal the boss arena.
Run into the Hive capture plate and stand inside for a few seconds.
The mission will finish once you seal the door.
