Destiny 2 The Final Shape ending explained: What happens at the end of the campaign? BungieThe Final Shape is upon us, but what exactly happens as Guardians venture through the conclusive chapter in Destiny 2\u2019s Light and Darkness saga? While there\u2019s still a Raid and one final story mission left to go, here\u2019s how the campaign wraps up at launch. A decade in the making, our fight with The Witness is finally in focus. Having pulled the strings for years before making their presence known, The Witness has been tormenting the Destiny 2 community ever since. Now, we finally strike back. The Final Shape is all about a climactic standoff with Destiny\u2019s ultimate big bad, but how exactly does it all pan out? For now, we\u2019re still left with a few blanks to be filled in as we await the Salvation\u2019s Edge raid, along with the eighth story mission it unlocks. But there\u2019s still plenty to wrap your head around from the campaign already. Here\u2019s how The Final Shape\u2019s campaign draws to a close and what the ending sets up for the immediate future of Destiny 2. It goes without saying, but spoiler warning from this point forward. We\u2019ll be breaking down the ending of Destiny 2\u2019s most important campaign, so do not continue reading if you want to experience it all as intended, by playing yourself. Confronting The Witness After six story missions of highs and lows, uncovering a weakness of The Witness, losing Zavalla\u2019s Ghost Targe along the way, we finally set forth to confront the big bad face-to-face, and it\u2019s no easy task even just making it to the fight. After dealing with Dolgith, Blade of Reasoning, it\u2019s full steam ahead to The Sacrarium, The Witness\u2019 current abode. Fending off waves of ads, the objective here is to whittle down the health of all-important Subjugators. In doing so, a portal soon opens up, one that takes us inside a realm of Darkness. It\u2019s inside the very essence of Darkness itself we begin to learn how we may defeat The Witness. \u201cWhat was made in Darkness can be unmade in Darkness,\u201d voices cry out before Guardians are spat back out into the arena with The Witness. A few rotations of clearing ads and killing Subjugators pave the way for us to destroy statues still trapped in the Darkness. It\u2019s by destroying these statues we weaken The Witness\u2019 shield. Continuing to repeat the process, draining The Witness\u2019 shield bit by bit, we\u2019re eventually joined by Zavalla, Ikora, Cayda, and Crow, all of which help fight off weaker foes while you focus on the bigger targets. In one last rotation, destroying a statue actually deals a blow to The Witness, the first time we\u2019ve ever wounded the almighty foe. Though in a last-ditch effort to foil your plans, The Witness gravely wounds us and teleports us away. \u201cWe. Cut. You. Out.\u201d We have just 90 seconds in which to escape his clutches, which of course, we do, and that\u2019s the last playable chunk of The Final Shape campaign before a handful of cutscenes tell us the rest. Facing down with The Witness, the first time we\u2019ve ever seen the character even slightly harmed, they yell at our Fireteam before transforming into a towering behemoth we simply can\u2019t challenge. At least, not yet. Fleeing The Witness \u201cWe had such hope you would understand,\u201d The Witness says. \u201cBut you choose entropy. You will revel in chaos, and in your wake, there is only suffering.\u201d Alongside Zavalla, Ikora, Cayde, and Crow we all flee after The Witness transforms into this monster, barely living to fight another day. Yet while it may seem like a total defeat, having bailed from our fight, as Mara Sov explains, we now have hope. \u201cThe Witness may have won this battle, but it is wounded,\u201d Sov explains. Uniting a number of key allies, including Caiatl and her empire, Mithrax and his House of Light, along with Micah-10, a mysterious \u201cGuardian of great renown who comes to us with bold ideas,\u201d Sov has rallied the troops for one last offensive. \u201cYou will storm the Witness\u2019 monolith and strike where it is most vulnerable. Shatter its hold on The Traveller and you will end it.\u201d Salvation\u2019s Edge awaits \u2013 One final battle with The Witness The cutscene fades to black before one last message appears on screen: \u201cThe final battle with The Witness approaches.\u201d For now, that\u2019s where things are at in the final pages of the Light and Darkness saga. The Salvation\u2019s Edge Raid is set to commence on June 7 at 10 AM PT. It\u2019s here where we no doubt engage in the final battle, however, there\u2019s still more to come. Upon the World\u2019s First clear of this all-important Raid, an eighth and final campaign mission is set to unlock for everyone. Rest assured, we\u2019ll be jumping into the Raid and keeping you up to speed right here with all the latest developments as Destiny 2\u2019s decade-long story arc comes to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
