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.

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. In the October 2019 version, she becomes shielded at two-thirds health and summons two Wizards; defeat them to remove her shield. At one-third health, she summons two Fissure Ogres that provide the next shield, and defeating them makes her vulnerable again. She moves around the open arena and attacks with Hive magic; keep moving through the pillars to avoid her blast zones and 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 softlock was a documented bug.

Rewards

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