Destiny 2: How to Complete Encounter Challenge Feats in the Desert Perpetual Raid

The challenge requires all six players to pick up a chronon before someone can get their second one. The order does not matter, so long as each player picks one up. The challenge continues throughout the encounter, so before a player can get their third chronon, all players must have their second one. The two buffed, non-aligned players should pick up a chronon and deposit it after damage is done. You will need to shift which players get buffs per phase. Reminder that five Minatours spawn per Hydra kill. Here is the way we recommend for you to complete the challenge.

First Pickup Phase

• Five players pick up and deposit to charge the portals.
• The sixth player picks up and deposits for the alignment phase.

Second Pickup Phase

• Other runners and buffed players pick up.
• Sixth player picks up 2nd.
• The three runners deposit at the other three portals.
• Aligned player picks up 2nd.

Third Pickup Phase

• Buffed players deposit to charge the portals.
• Three non-buffed players pick up 3rd.
  • Only two players deposit.
• Previously buffed players pick up 3rd.

Fourth Pickup Phase

• Previously buffed players become runners and deposit for the alignment phase.
• The other four players pick up their 4th.
  • One non-buffed player deposits at the final portal.

Fifth Pickup Phase

• Aligned player and four others deposit to charge the portals.
• Aligned player picks up 5th.
• The other five players pick up.
  • Runners deposit to charge three portals.

Sixth Pickup

• One runner picks up 6th and deposits at the final portal.

The Desert Perpetual Iatrox, Inward Turned – Wyvern

The challenge for the Wyvern encounter is far easier. During the building phase, there are three vex nodes you must activate. Usually, only one player activates all three nodes. For the challenge, you need three players to climb. Each player must activate one vex node. At the start of building, all three players stand on the plate for the buff. You will need to ascend together. Once a player has activated a node, they can jump off the platforms. Who does, which one, is entirely up to your team.

The Desert Perpetual Epoptes, Lord of Quanta – Hydra

For the Hydra encounter, four players are tasked with shooting eyes in each room. Your previous ad clearing role becomes a second shooter per room. In each room, players must alternate shooting eyes on the Hydra’s shield. It does not matter which player calls the eyes; just ensure you know who is calling what. The triangle and center eyes do not count for this. An example:

• Players one and two head to the left room after collecting the buff, while players three and four do the same on the right side.
• Left room calls top right, player three shoots top right.
• Right room calls top, player one shoots top.
• Left room calls bottom, player four shoots bottom.
• Right room calls bottom right, player two shoots bottom right.
• Repeat until all eyes are broken.

The Desert Perpetual Koregos, The Wordline – Harpy

For the final boss encounter challenge, every player must deposit one chronon through the hoop. It means players must shift across roles to complete this challenge. How you end up shifting does not matter. As long as each player has the cyclical buff once and deposits a chronon, you are fine. You must repeat this process for every phase. An important note: when you change buffs, your timer remains the same. Otherwise, you have plenty of time in this encounter to swap everyone.
