The King’s Fall raid in Destiny 2 returned in August 2022, bringing back one of the franchise’s most iconic endgame experiences with updated mechanics and modernized encounters. Set within the massive Dreadnaught, the throne world of the Hive god Oryx, the Taken King, the raid challenges Guardians to push deep into a fortress shaped by power, ritual, and conquest. As players advance, they confront the lingering influence of Oryx’s rule, navigating environments defined by Hive magic and the ever-present threat of the Taken.

As a six-player activity, King’s Fall emphasizes coordination and role execution, with encounters that require players to manage buffs, relics, and precise timing to progress. Fireteams will face memorable bosses such as Golgoroth and Warpriest, culminating in a final battle against Oryx himself. With its large-scale encounters, layered mechanics, and refreshed rewards—including the Exotic pulse rifle Touch of Malice—King’s Fall remains a defining raid experience in Destiny 2.
