In this part of the video, the presenter introduces “The Final Shape,” the ultimate guide for all types of Destiny players. Key highlights include the ability to easily unlock exotic engrams and specific armor, as well as strategies to achieve max power levels. Players can now skip the tutorial and directly start “The Final Shape” campaign, which has two difficulty settings: normal and legendary. Completing the legendary campaign grants significant rewards like a gear bundle and an exotic item. Power levels start at 1900, with varying caps requiring different activities to reach higher levels. Tower vendors are emphasized as a reliable source for powerful engrams, and maxing out vendor ranks, such as Master R, enables unlocking any exotic armor piece. Pinnacle engrams, essential for reaching the hard cap of 2000 power, can be obtained from tougher activities. The video also covers methods to earn exotic engrams, including through solo expert lost sectors and rare enemy drops.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on earning and using exotic engrams in the game. Players can earn up to three exotic engrams weekly by completing nine ritual activities such as Vanguard Ops, Crucible, or Gambit, which also helps rank up Tower vendors for powerful engrams. Strange coins, obtained from ritual activities, can be used to purchase items from Zur, who has been updated. Zur offers exotic engrams at Rank 10 and other items, but purchasing strange gifts from him is not recommended due to low-quality rewards.
Players can take their exotic engrams to Master, who offers four decryption methods:
1. Simple decryption for a random exotic armor piece.
2. Advanced decryption for exotics from specific expansions.
3. Precision decryption to choose a specific exotic already unlocked.
4. Novel decryption, available at Rank 16, to unlock any exotic armor piece, including those not yet acquired.
Ranking up involves decrypting engrams, and reaching Rank 16 unlocks novel decryption, essential for completing exotic armor collections. Finally, the video moves on to discuss the legendary campaign, highlighting its scale, numerous enemies, and epic scope, promising a grand adventure and an impressive conclusion to the decade-long story.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses two favorite campaign moments involving challenging puzzles and set pieces. The first moment is the liminality strike, inspired by Indiana Jones, where players must grab a Taken energy ball to deactivate a boss’s shield while avoiding rapidly rising lava. The second moment involves a snowy arena where players must prevent freezing by standing next to fiery pits while destroying generators and defeating specific enemies to obtain bombs needed for further destruction. The speaker also highlights the new Prismatic subclass, which combines light and darkness abilities, offers a Transcendence super, and allows for powerful gameplay enhancements. The Prismatic subclass is deemed game-breaking due to its versatile and potent capabilities.

In this segment of the video, the presenter provides a guide on how to defeat the final boss, The Witness. They recommend starting with powerful attacks like the Silence and S stasis super to deal damage to the mini boss and its minions. After the mini boss becomes immune, the player must pick up a Relic on the left side of the arena. This Relic is critical as it can take down the mini boss’s shield and protect the player from deadly darkness. Finishing off the mini boss spawns a special sword, which is used to destroy statues and advance to phase two of the encounter. Phase two requires continuous activation of buffs to survive toxic air. The presenter hints that defeating The Witness is just the beginning and praises the game for exceeding expectations, announcing that Bungie has revealed plans for future content including new episodes and a new project named “Frontiers”. Lastly, the video mentions that Destiny is available on multiple platforms with support for crossplay and cross progression, encouraging viewers to explore further through the link in the description.
