History of Fire and Ice
Revision 19410 by archivist at 2026-10-10 08:32:46
Overview
Fire and Ice is the Destiny 2: Renegades Exotic mission (1-3 players, introduced 2 December 2025) set in the Adamant area of Europa. With Aunor's guidance you enter a Praxic Vault and claim the Praxic Blade, an Exotic Kinetic Sword. A search result describes it as step 33 of the Renegades quest line, started by speaking to Aunor at the Tharsis Cantina; confirm in game. Enemies are the Barant Imperium and Taken. Difficulty variants: Legendary and Brave.
Encounters
- Vault entrance: find the Imperium base in the ice wall, kill Val Cal'ric, Door Technician (miniboss), take the door codes and bypass the Taken Portal Keeper (miniboss).
- Ascendant Plane: a long platforming section with chasms, vanishing floors and push blocks. Shacknews calls it a difficulty spike; an Eager Edge Sword can skip some paths.
- Balance the Scales: manage Light and Dark energy fields by creating Paired Energy and Opposite Energy, defeating specific Taken and Imperium Centurion combinations.
- Boss, Disciple of Harrow: a four-phase fight reusing those mechanics, with an immunity phase where you fill darkness energy fields via Darkness totems on floating platforms.
A secret encounter, Catalyst of Imbalance, also exists (Destinypedia).
Expect over an hour on a first run, about 15 minutes afterwards (Shacknews).
Rewards
Praxic Blade and a path to its Praxic Blade Catalyst.
