Confronting the Devastator Mind: Strategic Breakthrough

The \"Fallow\" mission in Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate presents a significant challenge, especially during the final boss encounter with the Devastator Mind. While the initial phases of navigating the Aionian Campus and engaging with Uplifted Choral Minotaurs—enemies whose defeat unshields destructible Vex nodes—are relatively straightforward, a critical moment in the boss fight often proves to be a stumbling block. The core mechanic involves destroying these Vex nodes to remove barriers. The guide will detail the precise steps to overcome the boss's immunity phases.

Overcoming the Devastator Mind's Defenses: A Step-by-Step Approach

Once you've depleted the first segment of the Devastator Mind's health, it will become invulnerable, necessitating a specific sequence of actions to remove its protective barriers. The key is to understand the interplay between the Uplifted Choral Minotaurs, Vex nodes, and Matterspark transformations.

First, seek out and eliminate an Uplifted Choral Minotaur. These are located on opposing sides of the arena. Once a minotaur is defeated, locate the Vex node it was guarding. A visible white line extends from the node to the tunnel entrance it shields, indicating its location. Destroying this node will render the tunnel accessible.

After neutralizing the Vex node, transform into a Matterspark at the arena's center. This transformation allows you to enter the now unshielded tunnel. Upon exiting the tunnel, you will find yourself in close proximity to a glowing yellow shield generator. Destroying this generator will weaken the Devastator Mind's defenses, allowing you to inflict another segment of damage to its health bar.

This entire process must be replicated on the other side of the arena. The tunnel entrance on the right side (when facing the arena's far end) is situated centrally on the elevated platform, while the one on the left is positioned to the right of the staircase leading to the Vex barrier. Successfully dismantling both shield generators will leave the Devastator Mind vulnerable, enabling you to deliver the final blows and complete the mission.
