Complete guide to Season of the Lost epilogue with expert tips and mission strategies for Savathun’s Exorcism
Season of the Lost Epilogue Overview
The Destiny 2 Season of the Lost epilogue has officially arrived, delivering the climactic Savathun’s Exorcism mission that bridges directly into The Witch Queen expansion launching February 22.
This crucial narrative moment represents the culmination of months of storytelling where players discovered Osiris had been Savathun in disguise, setting up this final confrontation. The epilogue mission became accessible with the most recent weekly reset, giving Guardians exactly one week to complete it before the new expansion drops.
To access the mission, head directly to the Wayfinder’s Compass in the H.E.L.M. after logging in. The mission description clearly outlines your objective: “Fight your way to the Spire of Exorcism and defend Mara Sov as she extracts the Witch Queen’s worm.” This standalone story experience follows the pattern of previous epilogue events but with higher stakes for the overall Destiny narrative.
Savathun’s Exorcism Mission Breakdown
The Savathun’s Exorcism mission represents a significant narrative payoff, directly continuing from the Season of the Lost storyline where we’ve been working to remove Savathun’s Hive worm parasite. This procedure is our bargaining chip to retrieve the real Osiris, who has been imprisoned since the Hive god took his form.
According to database information from Light.gg, the mission begins by visiting the Wayfinder’s Compass in the H.E.L.M. to receive a briefing from Mara Sov. A new Triumph called “Exorcist’s Revenge” has been added for completionists, offering additional rewards for mastering this challenging encounter.
The mission structure appears to involve wave-based combat where you’ll defend Mara Sov during the delicate exorcism procedure. Expect significant enemy resistance as you protect the Awoken Queen while she works to extract the parasitic worm from Savathun. This follows the established pattern from previous end-of-season events but with more direct implications for the upcoming expansion narrative.
Advanced Tips and Common Pitfalls
For optimal performance in Savathun’s Exorcism, bring loadouts capable of handling both add-clear and sustained boss damage. Weapons with crowd control capabilities like Trinity Ghoul or Riskrunner excel during defense phases, while high-damage heavies such as Gjallarhorn or Sleeper Simulant help manage tougher combatants.
Common mistakes include underestimating the enemy density during Mara Sov’s defense sequence and failing to position properly for sightlines. Stay mobile and use the environment for cover rather than attempting to hold static positions. Coordinate with fireteam members to establish overlapping fields of fire if running the mission with others.
The narrative implications are substantial – most analysts expect that after successfully exorcising Savathun’s worm, she will betray the agreement and escape to her throne world, directly setting up the conflict for The Witch Queen expansion and Season 16. This follows established Destiny storytelling patterns where major villains rarely honor their bargains with Guardians.
Bungie has indicated additional information about weapon crafting and new exotics will be revealed in an upcoming blog post, so stay tuned for updates that may affect your preparation for The Witch Queen launch.
