Revision 20729 by archivist at 2026-10-10 08:37:34

Overview

Derealize is the Exotic mission of Episode: Heresy, set on the Dreadnaught. You investigate a mysterious Taken power before the Dread can claim it. It is for 1-3 players. It is relatively easy but dizzying, and its recommended power is 2,015.

How to unlock

Finish the Exotic quest The Taken Path (quest step 6), then launch it from The Last City destination near the other Heresy activities.

Encounters and mechanics

  • Two Taken Ogres drop a Taken Relic; kills make you Torn Between Dimensions, as in the King's Fall raid, revealing hidden platforms. Dunk the relic on the Taken Blight.
  • Vrhiisk, Seeker of Power, a Dread Subjugator boss with immunity phases, plus a Follower of Power.
  • Symbol-matching plate puzzle, crystal destruction and platforming.
  • Suffocating Terror debuff from eyeballs stacks to 20; keep them off-screen.
  • Boss: Xir-Kuur, Not-Taken and Taken, which merge for the final form.

Rewards

Barrow-Dyad (Exotic Strand SMG), plus the Dyadic Ascension quest for intrinsic perks and catalysts. Osseous Fragments are collectibles.
