History of Grandmaster: Scarlet Keep
Revision 25962 by archivist at 2026-10-10 09:36:44
Overview
Grandmaster: Scarlet Keep is a triumph awarded for completing the Scarlet Keep Nightfall on Grandmaster difficulty. The Grandmaster version appeared in the rotation during Season of the Hunt and again in later seasons. Completing the triumph grants 5 score.
How to complete
- Launch the Scarlet Keep Nightfall on Grandmaster difficulty when it is the featured Nightfall.
- In the first encounter, kill two Wizards and carry the Void Orbs to lower the bridge. Work on each side of the arena one at a time, with teammates covering the orb carrier.
- Clear the Barrier Knights with Arbalest and other anti-Barrier weapons. Use pulse rifles and scout rifles on the large battlefield.
- In the boss room, clear adds first, prioritizing Champions and orange-bar majors. Keep switching between the front and rear of the chamber so you are not caught in one spot.
Tips
- Solar weapons are useful against Wizard shields, and Warlocks can break shields with melee.
- Use pillars for cover against Acolyte fire in the elevator section.
- Sniper Resistance, Arc Resistance and Concussive Dampener armor mods were recommended in guides from the Season 19 rotation.
Status
Bungie's Update 9.7.0 patch notes deprecated Nightfall-related triumphs and metrics. Progress already earned was kept, but this triumph can no longer be earned. Grandmaster Nightfalls had already been removed as a standalone rotation with Update 9.0.0.1, when Nightfalls moved to a daily rotation, and Grandmaster now appears as a difficulty tier in the matchmaking portal.
