History of The Scarlet Keep

Overview

The Scarlet Keep is a three-player Strike from Destiny 2: Shadowkeep on The Moon. Eris Morn sends the fireteam to investigate the tower, which amplifies Hive magic, and defeat Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota. The in-game power value is an old launch-era number; use current activity requirements where applicable.

Walkthrough

1. Fight through the Hidden Swarm toward the tower while pursuing Hashladûn.
2. At the bridge, defeat the two Wizards sustaining the spells and carry their Void charges to the central receptacles to lower the bridge.
3. Cross the bridge and capture the three altars while holding off Hive waves.
4. Ride the keep's elevator. Clear the Wizards that stop it and shoot the overhead crystal to restart the lift.
5. At the summit, defeat the two Wizards guarding the gate, then damage Hashladûn. She moves around the open arena and attacks with Hive magic; keep space from her blast zones and avoid being knocked off the edge.

In the campaign-era version, Hashladûn can be bypassed through the opening gate before it closes; if the whole team gets trapped inside, the strike can softlock. This is a documented historical bug, not a current status guarantee.

Rewards

The associated reward records include the Luminopotent armor set and several strike weapons. Specific reward pools varied by era and rotation.
