Cut with Dark Age Steel, O Vengeance Mine

Overview

Cut with Dark Age Steel, O Vengeance Mine is a triumph in Destiny 2 for completing the Warlord's Ruin dungeon with a fireteam using only Swords, Bows and Glaives. A final blow with any other weapon fails the challenge.

How to complete

1. Form a fireteam and equip only Swords, Bows or Glaives. Check every player's loadout before you start, because any final blow with another weapon fails the triumph, including on bosses and adds.
2. Mountain ascent: A jumping puzzle up the rocks. There is no boss here.
3. Rathil, the First Broken Knight of Fikrul: Cleanse the Scorn devices during the "Imminent Wish" phase to extend your damage window. When "Rathil's hex backfires" appears, unleash your strongest sustained damage. Shoot the Taken Eyes in the rising cells to escape.
4. Prison cells (Windswept Crag): Use the skeleton and tally-mark clues to spin the wall devices in the right directions, then shoot the key to open the cells.
5. Hallway and bridge: Avoid the glowing blue chests, which act as mimics. Fight or run past the bridge waves and climb the cliff to the fortress.
6. Locus of Wailing Grief: A Taken ogre that is invulnerable until you light four braziers with Solar orbs. Watch the Biting Cold debuff, which wipes the team at 10 stacks, and stay together at each brazier.
7. Platforming: Climb the rocky platforms up to the final arena.
8. Hefnd's Vengeance, the Blighted Chimera: The final boss, Hefnd. He uses the same cleansing process as the earlier bosses plus the Vengeful Corruption debuff. Melee the Corrupted Hex-Drinkers to pass the debuff to them, keep moving so they cannot pass it back, and repeat on each platform until he is defeated.

Trivia

A limited-time community challenge, The Dark Age Hunt, ran in Warlord's Ruin from January 27 to February 3, 2026. Players could use only Bows, Glaives and Swords, had to finish the dungeon solo in one run, and got the Fallen Torches emblem. The event has ended.
