Destiny 2 Dares of Eternity guide – Zydron boss fight

Let’s talk about the Zydron boss fight in the Dares of Eternity activity in Destiny 2. It gets unlocked if you step on the Vex plate at the right. Unfortunately, I’m not exactly sure if it’s triggered based on how many players step on it or whoever steps on a plate first.

Zydron starts by casting two sets of laser barriers. If you get hit by these, you’ll get detained. Shoot the bubble to get out or you’ll die.

Next, Zydron will spawn several mobs, including two Vex Minotaurs that keep its shield up. Once these two targets are eliminated, you can freely DPS the boss.

Soon, you’ll see a countdown for the detainment ability, which means the boss will cast it again. Thankfully, you can continue damaging Zydron until it’s dead. After beating it, Xur and Starhorse will reappear, along with a chest that contains your rewards (i.e., Strange Coins).

Note 1: If this is your first Dares of Eternity clear, then make sure to visit Xur’s Treasure Hoard to obtain rewards and bounties. Likewise, this will unlock exotic quests for the Gjallarhorn and Forerunner.

Note 2: It’s possible to experience a special encounter called the Lightning Round after beating the boss.

Destiny 2: Season of the Lost is available via Steam. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.
