History of Kell's Fall

Kell's Fall is the Exotic mission added with Episode: Revenant Act III (January 2025) in Fikrul's Revenant Fortress on The Tangled Shore. Sources differ slightly on the launch date (January 7 or 8, 2025) and on power numbers; the figures below are as reported at launch and may have changed since.

Overview

• Type: Exotic mission (fireteam of up to 3)
• Destination: The Tangled Shore
• Versions: Kell's Fall: Reflection, Kell's Fall: Distortion, Kell's Fall: Diffraction, each with an Expert variant (Kell's Fall (Expert)).
• Power: reported as roughly 1955-1995 on normal and 2015 on Expert (sources disagree); Expert adds Champions (Overload, Unstoppable) and Overcharge.

Launching

Complete Acts I and II of Episode: Revenant, then start the mission from the Holoprojector in The Last City (the story beat involves Eramis). Once unlocked it can be replayed from the Exotic missions list, matchmade or customized. The Tangled Shore location it uses was removed from the game with Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, so this is a return to vaulted space.

Encounters and mechanics

All versions share the early fights against Araskes, the Trickster, Kaniks, the Mad Bomber and Hiraks, the Mindbender. Recurring mechanics: lighting three braziers to open a door, mirror portals into a Prismatic-tinged mirror realm, and collecting Revenant Essence from Weavers (and Champions on Expert) to gain the Revenant Empowerment buff needed to damage immune Scorn enemies. There is also an organ puzzle with playable melodies. The final boss differs per version.

Rewards

Slayer's Fang plus Tonic materials and catalyst quests. The mission data also lists Eutechnology armor and other drops.
