“Blade of Night” is a Step in the Quest A Sword Reforged in Destiny: The Taken King

Walkthrough[edit]

You must hunt down Ecthar, Sword of Oryx who resides within the Dreadnaught in the Asylum.

From where you land, head through the Cabal Ship. When you make it to the Mausoluem, take the furthest back exit on the left. Drop into the first hole you find. Head forward, circling around, until you find the entrance to the middle section of the room.

In this middle room there are 3 Warden Knights. Each of them will have a different elemental shield. You need to defeat all 3 in rapid succession to open the door. If you fail to do, they have a long respawn timer. Just leave to orbit and then return to the Dreadnaught.

Defeating them in good timing will open the door to the Asylum. Head inside and go down the staircase. Fight your way to the far side.

Defeat the Major Cursed Thralls and other Hive that are coming at you. Toward the back you will see your target: Ecthar, Sword of Oryx. You need to break his shield using your sword. After that, you can take him out with whatever weapons you want until his shield returns.
