One of the more ambiguous puzzles in Destiny 2: Lightfall shows up in the Headlong mission, as waves of enemies impede progress until players can solve the sequencing behind their variety. Not nearly as complicated as the mysterious conundrums seen in past raids, Calus still manages to stall Guardians with these violent yet cunning obstacles. Thankfully, players will run into this puzzle multiple times during this part of the campaign, and realize the solution to each instance after mastering the first encounter.
Players run into these riddles for the first time in the Liming Harbor area of Neomuna, which sits close to the Thrilladrome Lost Sector entrance. A barrier designed by the mechanical Vex blocks the path forward for the player, and is guarded by a Vex Minotaur and several Vex Goblins. Due to the raised difficulty of this expansion, players should take ample time to prepare for Destiny 2: Lightfall's Headlong mission beforehand. Four Vex Harpies noticeably spawn when players approach the barrier, but they should not destroy these foes for now.
Solving the Headlong Puzzle(s) in Destiny 2: Lightfall
Defeating every enemy except the Vex Harpies gives players a window to look at the three crystals above the barrier. Each either glow or do not glow with some sort of energy, creating a sequence of sorts in a horizontal line. Similarly, the Harpies are divided into the same categories, with perhaps a couple glowing and the rest without shine. The puzzle requires players to defeat each Vex Harpy by matching the sequence of glowing crystals.
Powerful weapons like the Fire and Forget Linear Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2 should make short work of these enemies.
An example of this sequence could be glowing, non-glowing, then glowing again. This would mean players have to defeat a glowing Harpy first, then one without any sort of glow, and finally another glowing foe to complete the order properly. Taking some time to let certain crystals register the defeat of these Harpies prevents players from accidentally killing the next one too quickly, which could ruin the process.
This puzzle appears two more times in the Headlong mission, with the second being nearly the exact same as the first. However, the final instance makes things a bit more complicated, introducing regular Harpies mixed with glowing Cation Harpies, and non-glowing Anion Harpies. The same method needs to be followed when trying to solve the Headlong puzzle, but the abundance of enemies demands players have a solid primary weapon in Destiny 2: Lightfall to pick their targets wisely.
