"The Grass is Always Greener" is a Challenge in Destiny 2 that Guardians are tasked with completing during the Totems encounter of the "King's Fall" Raid. To get past this encounter, players must defend Totems within an arena while collecting stacks of Deathsinger's Power, a resource that can be acquired by clearing enemy mobs. Yet, standing atop a Totem platform will slowly kill players unless they possess a buff in Destiny 2 called the Brand of the Weaver. Before moving on, it is essential to discuss the layout of each room within the arena and how they correspond with "The Grass is Always Greener."

There are three primary rooms in the "King's Fall" encounter with the Totems. Two rooms opposite each other contain the Totems, while the central chamber has a site where Guardians can bank their stacks of Deathsinger's Power. Once a stack threshold has been reached, the door to the next area will be opened. Typically, if the Raid party has three players, one will defend a Totem while another ensures the central room is clear of enemy mobs. The third member will be the one who obtains a Brand Claimer to "steal" the Brand of the Weaver.

To get the Brand Claimer, a Destiny 2 Guardian must enter the central chamber and slay a Wizard and Blightguard on the upper levels of the room. Next, they must then head to the other teammate defending the Totem and switch places. This rotation will continue until enough Deathsinger's Power has been gathered.

Step No.

Walkthrough Details

1

  • Begin the rotation by having one Guardian pick up the Brand of the Weaver to defend one of the Totems.

2

  • Before the buff's timer expires, another player must slay the Wizard and Blightguard to acquire the Brand Claimer, after which they will swap places with the Totem defender.

3

  • While defending the encounter's location in "King's Fall," the Guardian will have accumulated several stacks of Deathsinger's Power that they must bank in the central chamber.
  • Once this party member has completed banking, they must head to the opposite Totem instead of the previous one, upholding the challenge's idea of the "grass being greener on the other side."

4

  • Repeat the rotation while also making sure never to return to the same Totem after banking stacks.

5

  • Naturally, this process will take longer than sticking to a single Totem, but successful execution will complete the challenge and unlock the next area of the "King's Fall" Raid in Destiny 2.
