How To Defeat The Witness In Destiny 2’s Excision
Beat The Final Mission
Your first task in the Excision mission is to approach the Witness. Before taking on the Witness, you’ll have to fight through the first line of its defense, maybe using yourbrand-new Khvostov rifle inDestiny 2. When you load in, you’ll need todefeat all the enemies in the area to move forward.
In particular, watch out for yellow-bar boss enemies defending capture zones. Defeat these bosses, thencapture each zone that appearsuntil the darkness shield goes down.
Once the shield is down, you’ll enter a small arena where the Witness waits. Here, you’ll need tointeract with rifts of Lightin various places. After drawing from the light,run back to the small resonant bank, where you’re able to dunk the Light. Between yourself and the other Guardians in the Activity, you’ll need todo this 15 times. After the last one, you shouldinteract with the veiled statues next to the bankto “Commune With the Darkness.”
Next, you’ll be transported back to where you broke the statues withDestiny 2’s Ergo Sumin the “Ionoclasm” mission. You’ll be gifted a sword from the Traveler, which you should use tobreak as many statues as possible.After you break as many statues as it’ll allow you to, you’ll be teleported back to the arena for DPS.

Best Tips & Tricks
All that’s left is the lauded DPS phase. This is a precision boss, meaning you’ll want something withgood ammo economy and a long-range capability.If you’ve got good projectile aim, you can use aBait and Switch Apex Predator, but if you either don’t have one or don’t like rockets,Still Hunt is even better.While you’re whaling on the Witness' crit spot, keep an eye out for its resonance attacks.
It will shoot beams of resonance from the left and right sides of the platform you stand on for DPS. Though there’s no wipe mechanic, these beams will kill you, so dying isn’t the end of the world. If you can dodge them all, you should only need two or three DPS phases to defeat the Witness once and for all. Strap in for an emotional ending toDestiny 2’s “Light and Dark” saga (that no one wants to part with), and congratulate yourself on a job well done.
