History of Death-Defiant

Overview

Death-Defiant is a triumph that requires the completion of all encounters in the The Desert Perpetual raid without any member of the fireteam dying or returning to orbit. The triumph awards 5 Score. Its Epic counterpart is Death-Defiant II.

How to complete

To earn this triumph, the fireteam must successfully complete every encounter within the The Desert Perpetual. During the entire run, no fireteam member is permitted to die or return to orbit.

The raid has four bosses. Agraios, Epoptes and Iatros can be done in any order, and Koregos is always last. Once the raid has been cleared once, a fireteam can jump straight to any encounter.

1. Clear the raid's three first encounters (Agraios, Epoptes and Iatros) in any order without a death.
2. Finish with Koregos in the same run. A death at any point, including the boss, means the triumph has to be attempted again from the start.

Tips:

• Agraios's Variable Elimination laser is a one-shot wipe if you are caught standing in its line of sight. Keep out of the beam path at all times.
• On Koregos, stay behind cover when the charging laser beam starts. Interrupt the algorithms as they come up, and stay out of the boss's laser sights.
• Use Crest of Alpha Lupi or several Wells to survive laser damage. Solar and Sniper resist mods help against Agraios's chip damage.

Seal and rewards

Completing the triumph awards the Mediant Flourish shader. It also greatly increases the initial drop chance of Whirling Ovation. The triumph does not count toward the Atemporal title.
