One Thousand Voices: Unveiling the Exotic Enigma of Destiny 2’s Last Wish Raid
The exotic weapon obtainable exclusively from the Last Wish raid in Destiny 2 is the One Thousand Voices. This formidable heavy fusion rifle unleashes a devastating beam of solar energy that lingers, dealing massive damage to any enemies caught in its wake. It’s a highly sought-after reward, not just for its raw power but also for its iconic status within the Destiny universe. Its acquisition is a testament to a Guardian’s prowess and dedication to conquering the challenges of the Last Wish raid. One Thousand Voices is more than just a weapon; it’s a symbol of triumph over one of Destiny 2’s most challenging endgame activities.
The Allure of One Thousand Voices
One Thousand Voices stands out due to its unique functionality. Unlike other fusion rifles that fire bolts, it fires a single, sustained beam that pierces through enemies and continues to deal damage. This beam also has a lingering effect, making it exceptionally effective against large groups or bosses with large hitboxes. The combination of massive impact damage and the persistent beam makes it a force to be reckoned with in both PvE and PvP environments. Moreover, the lore surrounding the weapon, hinting at the whispers and echoes of the Dreaming City, adds another layer to its appeal, connecting the weapon to the raid and its setting in a meaningful way.
How to Obtain One Thousand Voices
The path to obtaining One Thousand Voices is straightforward but demanding: It can only drop from the final chest after defeating Riven in the Last Wish raid. This means players must navigate through all the encounters of the raid, mastering its mechanics, communication, and coordination. The drop rate for One Thousand Voices is notoriously low, but there is good news; your chance of acquiring the weapon increases with each completion of the raid and each raid Triumph you complete. It’s not uncommon for players to have multiple raid completions before finally securing the coveted exotic. This makes the chase all the more thrilling and the eventual drop even more rewarding.
The Last Wish Raid: A Realm of Challenges and Rewards
The Last Wish raid is set within the visually striking and enigmatic Dreaming City and is themed around Awoken culture. The raid itself offers a treasure trove of raid-specific gear, including armor sets and weapons, all with a distinct Dreaming City aesthetic. Beyond One Thousand Voices, the raid is known for dropping powerful and versatile weapons, including:
- Age-Old Bond: A Void auto rifle.
- Apex Predator: A Solar rocket launcher.
- Chattering Bone: A Kinetic pulse rifle.
- Transfiguration: A Scout Rifle
Furthermore, these weapons can drop with excellent perk combinations, making them highly desirable. It also important to note that there is a chance to get red border versions of these weapons from secret and encounter chests in the raid, allowing you to eventually craft them, further increasing the time investment but ultimately making it even more worth it.
Navigating the Last Wish Raid
Successfully completing the Last Wish raid requires a coordinated team, good communication, and a strong understanding of each encounter. The raid includes five major encounters, culminating in the battle against Riven, each demanding a different skill set and approach. It is considered one of the more challenging raids in Destiny 2 and for good reason, with mechanics that need to be learned and mastered, and not as easily “cheesed” as other raids. Last Wish also features several hidden chests that can drop any raid weapon or piece of armor, even for players who have not completed an encounter. This makes it a rewarding raid to run and one that players revisit many times in their quest for specific gear.
