What are the Broken Blades in Destiny 2?
Broken Blades in Destiny 2 are a strange hive artifacts that areearned byfishingand depositing exotic fish in the Aquarium.
after you grab caught your fish you will need to visit the Aquarium and deposit them.
This is earned by depositing the Whispering Mothcarp exotic fish at the H.E.L.M.
The Whispering Mothcarp is found in Savathuns Throne World.
fire up the regional map to find the pond, and set up shop there.
Eventually youll see the shiny gold fish come out.
Collect it, and head to the H.E.L.M.
Deposit it at the aquarium, and the Broken Blade of Strife will be added to your Fishing Tackle.
Now pop pop the H.E.L.M.
menu, and launch a deep dive.
The statue for this is in the first deep dive area.
Hug the wall to your right, and look for a small opening and path.
Its the same area as the Twilight Plant in ourAquarium Decorations guide.
Shortly before you reach the plant there will be a pit.
Look down and to your right to find the statue.
Walk up to it, and offer the Broken Blade of Spite.
Locate the fishing pond, and cast your line.
This time you are on the hunt for a Vexing Placoderm exotic fish.
Once youve caught the Placoderm, take it to the H.E.L.M., and add it to your collection.
The Broken Blade of Ambition will be yours, and stashed safely in your Fishing Tackle.
Begin the Deep Dive from H.E.L.M.
This time you are going to the first enemy encounter area, after the initial dive.
When you enter the room look straight ahead to the doorways thay roughly divide the area in half.
Once you defeat the enemies and scrub the objectives in this space that door will open.
fire up the Director, navigate to theEDZ, and note (or mark) the fishing pond location.
Go there, cast your line, and get comfortable while you fish for the exotic Aeonion Alpha-Beta.
Once the Broken Blade is deposited, it’s possible for you to move ahead to the next encounter.
Doing so requires taking on a very challenging timed mission in a hidden area called The Drowning.
Instead, look far to the right of the exit, toward a large set of doors.
If you successfully deposited all of the Broken Blades, these will be open.
Inside are three hive statues.
Each person in your fireteam must interact with a separate statue.
What makes it especially tough is a10 minute time limitto complete the mission that begins part way through.
There will be both add clear and boss damage to focus on.
Having at least one person using Divinity to enhance group damage is extremely helpful.
Finally, keep in mind that theExtinguish modifier is active.
Hunter invisibility abilities or a Warlock Well of Radiance can be really helpful for survivability.
There are plenty of air bubbles, and the path is very linear.
You will quickly exit the depths into a long hallway that will fill with Taken enemies.
Clear them out, and proceed forward through an airlock into the depths once again.
Continue on until you drop down though the floor and out of the depths into an open room.
Here you will meet the first boss,Khull, Executioner Knight.
This fight has a few phases.
The first phase takes place in this room.
Khull is extremely resistant to damage, so dont waste any shots on him just yet.
Each time you kill one of these Minotaurs they will grant a buff calledDeathly Sharp.
Once all three fall there will be a message that reads ‘Sharp, Like Death.’
This is your que to damage the boss.
Once Khull makes his retreat a door will open.
Pass inside and youll find yourself entering a Temple of Darkness.
The room will fill with Taken adds.
While you deal with them,locate two Darkness Shards.
One will be dead center in the room, the other will be under the staircase dead ahead.
Youll need to shoot each once to activate.
Activating both opens the barrier up ahead that separates you from the room with Khull.
The rest of the fight with Khull is similar to the first phase.
Youll need to hunt down the Honed Minotaurs to get the damage buff so that kill Khull quickly.
The damage buff does have a timer, if it reaches zero the buff ends.
If this happens the Minotaurs will respawn, and you must kill them again.
Focus on defeating Khull as quickly as possibly, as time is of the essence.
Once he falls, another door will open.
Grab the rally flag.
and proceed to the final boss.
This nasty fellow is a Tormentor.
Like Khrull, Omen is very damage resistant initially.
You will once again need to kill three Honed Minotaurs to get the buff that enables boss damage.
Ideally have your team split up.
Omen will be attacking your fireteam while this is happening, do your best to stay ahead of him.
Once all three Minotaurs fall, converge on Omen, and start unloading damage as quickly as possible.
He will leap, slash, and pull at you and your fellow Guardians.
Stay alive, but keep dishing damage, preferably with critical hits to his chest area.
Eventually the damage buff will run out of time.
The Minotaurs will respawn, hunt them down again and repeat the process until Omen is no more.
Interact with it to erase the mission, and claim your Wicked Implement.
