Bungie specialises in sci-fi FPS games. Their first big hit was Halo, yet after they parted ways with Microsoft, they moved on to create a new title – Destiny. Several years later they have created a sequel, simply called Destiny 2, which eventually was re-released as a free-to-play title that is regularly updated with new, paid expansions. The most recent one, The Final Shape, concludes Light and Darkness saga. It came with several difficulties, though. After the developers sorted out technical issues related to unexpected popularity, players started facing gameplay related hurdles in the form of Iconoclasm quest and a boss called the Witness. If your shield depletes during its attacks, here you will learn how to cope with it.

How to replenish shield during The Witness fight in Destiny 2

Well designed opponents are one of the most important components that make a game fun. The Witness in Destiny 2, however, has an ambiguous storm phase that makes it hard to survive. In order to protect yourself, you must use a relic shield called Aegis. The problem starts when its protection depletes during the boss’ attack.

To persevere, it is critical to use the item in a spot, with glowing, bight cracks on the ground. Just look for the same rifts which can be found on the ground when taking the Aegis from its chamber, slightly behind the arena.

The whole fight revolves around the use of special relics that appear on the battlefield. Each time you defeat a powerful, miniboss enemy, the Sword of Light will appear allowing you to plow through enemies and eventually destroy an item in the middle of the arena. Then, you will have to Embrace the Darkness where you will listen to part of The Witness dialogue and destroy one glowing statue. The cycle repeats itself 2 more times. With that done, the battle stage ends, and you are tasked with time limited escape resulting in successful completion of The Final Shape DLC.
