Destiny 2 The Final Shape Raid boss confirmed: Guardians confront The Witness BungieWith The Final Shape expansion comes the final Raid of Destiny 2\u2019s Light and Darkness Saga. While Guardians still have a few months to wait, we can already start gearing up for what could be the toughest challenge yet, as Bungie has confirmed the Raid boss is none other than The Witness himself. Over the past few years, Destiny 2 players have been tormented by one particularly mysterious foe above all others. While the likes of Calus, Riven, and even the long-awaited Savathun all gave Fireteams one hell of a challenge, none have posed more of a threat than The Witness. From the first glimpse of this otherworldy figure at the tail end of The Witch Queen to now being the focal point of The Final Shape, a clash with The Witness has been, well, our destiny for a number of years and soon, we\u2019ll finally have our chance to strike. Detailed roughly halfway through Bungie\u2019s gargantuan 2023 showcase event, Destiny 2 Director Joe Blackburn locked in the next Raid boss for good. No speculation, no rumors, and no room for leaks ruining the surprise. We now know for certain The Witness will serve as The Final Shape\u2019s conclusive Raid boss. The Witness is The Final Shape\u2019s Raid boss in Destiny 2 As Destiny 2\u2019s near-decade-long Light and Darkness saga winds down, The Final Shape is set to \u201ctie a bow\u201d on this era in Destiny history, Blackburn said. And while the campaign itself will serve as somewhat of a definitive ending for most players, Guardians will actually get to fight The Witness head-on in the accompanying Raid. \u201cOne of the things we knew was going to be challenging is, we\u2019re telling the climax of the story. \u201cYou\u2019re going to confront The Witness. The biggest bad in Destiny\u2026 We think you have to confront The Witness in the Raid.\u201d So leaving no doubts, Blackburn explicitly confirmed The Witness will indeed serve as the ultimate final boss for the Light and Darkness saga in Destiny 2. Exactly how tough a challenge this fight will be, however, remains anyone\u2019s guess. But the Director assured they\u2019re well aware of possible talking points should they make the fight a little too easy. \u2018The Witness was tough, but not quite as tough as Val Ca\u2019uor,\u201d he joked. \u201cProbably not a thing our players are going to be super happy about. So what we really think is this day-one experience, is sort of the penultimate episode, right before the season finale of your favorite TV show. It really sets the stage. \u201cYou should all wait for the Raid. We\u2019re gonna help make sure everyone is brought along for the journey.\u201d The Final Shape Raid boss discussion begins at the 1:42:45 mark below. Though in confirming The Witness as the final Raid boss, Blackburn then clarified more casual Destiny 2 players won\u2019t exactly be left behind story-wise should they not participate in the endgame activity. \u201cDo I have to play the Raid to get the full story?\u201d a host of the showcase asked. \u201cNo,\u201d Blackburn immediately responded. \u201cThere is a piece of the story that\u2019s told in the Raid, that\u2019s essential. But it\u2019s definitely not going to be a moment where only Raiders get to see the end of the Light and Darkness saga.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
