How to Get Praxic Blade Lightsaber in Destiny 2

Disciple of Harrow Boss Guide

The boss fight isn’t that tough. It’s the mechanics that can make it longer than needed. The boss has four HP bars, draining which causes a shield to appear around him. Solving small puzzles is what breaks it. Follow these steps in our Disciple of Harrow boss guide:

1. Drain the First Bar: The first step of the fight is really simple. Just deal enough damage to deplete the first HP bar.
2. Destroy the Cabal Shields: After you drain his first HP bar, Disciple of Harrow will spawn shield generators. You need to destroy them, which will allow you to damage his second HP bar. Once it drained, repeat the process to deplete the third bar. This will start the final stage.
3. Balancing the Spheres Again: By this time, you’ve probably noticed two spheres, floating above the battlefield. Not only that, but there’s also a triangle in the center of the room. Here’s how it works. You repeat the same process as with the puzzle. Kill the Cleaved enemies to get the Energy Cleaved buff. After that, you’ll have to manually change what Cleaved enemies will spawn. To do that, interact with the triangle in the center of the arena. Fill both of these spheres with correct orbs, and you’ll be able to damage the boss again.

After you kill the Disciple of Harrow, you’ll be teleported to the Praxic Vault. Congratulations, you now know how to unlock the Praxic Blade! Interact with a swordstand in the middle of the vault to get your sword. Fun fact: your blade’s color will be randomized. You can change the blade's color later, but you’ll have to complete certain activities where these colors drop. Taking the Lightsaber doesn’t end the mission. You’ll be teleported into the room where you’ll practice your newly found toy. Finish the enemies off, and you're done.

How to Get Praxic Blade Catalysts

Inspecting a new fancy weapon, you’ve probably noticed that there are tons of customization options. You can change its color, apply blade focuses, change the stance, and change the power core. Most importantly, you get not just one, but four catalyst options. Currently, there are only three available, with the last one locked behind the dungeon. Once we figure out how to unlock the fourth catalyst, we will update the article. But now, let’s talk about how to get Praxic Blade Catalysts.

Echoing Blade Catalyst

This catalyst allows you to damage more targets when throwing the blade. It’s actually quite easy to get. To unlock it, you’ll need to destroy 7 “oddities”, as the game calls them. They all need to be destroyed during the Fire and Ice mission. Take a look at the list of locations where you can find the oddities:

• First Oddity: Remember when you needed to drop down to the bottom of the spire in the room behind the portal? Don’t drop to the very bottom. Instead, when you’re dropping, look right. You’ll see a big platform. Land on it and across from it, you’ll see a lit ledge. Look around, and you’ll see more lights on the same level. Follow them, and you’ll eventually get to a big pothole. You’ll find a chest with Special ammo there. To the right of the chest, you’ll see a narrow catwalk with disappearing blocks. You can recognize the blocks by the four-pointed stars on them. Touch them in quick succession so that they all disappear, then return to the ammo box. From there, throw your blade with the Heavy Attack to destroy an oddity. Oddity will look like a Taken sphere.
• Second Oddity: Return to the spire drop and drop to the very bottom of it. Proceed as usual, but before you enter the large open area, look to the right. You’ll see another disappearing wall with a star on it. Touch it, then just follow the pretty straightforward path to the second oddity. You won’t miss it.
• Third Oddity: Continue on with the jump puzzle with push traps as you normally would. When you jump on top of a broken pillar to get to the second floor with the traps, don’t go there. Instead, turn right from the catwalk and jump ahead. It’s very hard to see, but there’s a ledge over there. The ledges go up, so just climb them. On top of the ledges, you’ll see the third oddity, hidden behind the corner.
• Fourth Oddity: Remember the first room with the disappearing block? Proceed as normal, jumping onto the blocks to reach a narrow pathway. Instead of dropping down to the maze with a disappearing floor, look around you. You’ll see a small ledge that is quite tricky to get onto. Move along, and at the end of the ledge, equip your Praxic Blade and blade dash forward. You’ll see a small room with a disappearing floor. Step on it and fall down. Here you’ll see two disappearing blocks. You need the one that protrudes from the wall at an angle. Touch it, and you’ll see the fourth oddity behind it.
• Fifth Oddity: Proceed as normal with the disappearing floor maze until you start the jumping part. Here, you need to move towards the second catwalk and drop onto the ledge to the right of it. If you look up, you’ll see another ledge that you can jump up to. Turn left and walk until you reach an inverted spire that’s split in two. Look up, and you’ll see another disappearing wall. Touch it, jump up, and you’ll get into a room with special ammo and a fifth oddity. The fifth one can be seen in a small window.
• Sixth Oddity: Reach the room with disappearing blocks and Taken snipers. Proceed as you normally would until you reach the end of this obstacle course. Turn left and jump on the rocky platform. You can identify it by two Taken traps on it. Instead of turning left and continuing toward the inverted tower, move forward. You’ll see the edge of the cliff with a little pothole below. Drop there, and you’ll see the sixth oddity. It’s kind of hard to hit, so be careful.
• Seventh Oddity: From the previous area you’ve reached, make your way to the very top. You’ll be able to see a tower up high above you. Find a way to reach, which can be a bit clunky. Once you’re on the platform, throw your blade into a hole above your head. It should hit the seventh oddity there.

And these are all the oddities you need to get in order to receive the Echoing Blade catalyst. Finish the mission as you normally would, and in the Praxic Vault, you’ll see golden cases on the floor. They’ll be in front of the sword stand. Interact with them, and they’ll drop your first catalyst.

Hyperblade and Upper Hand Catalysts

The second part of our Praxic Blade catalysts walkthrough. These two catalysts can be done in one run, so let’s cover them together. Follow these steps closely, and after you finish the mission, you’ll get your reward. The Hyperblade catalyst amplifies you after you reflect the shots using the blade. The amplification allows you to cover a bigger distance on the next swing. The Upper Hand is a Star Wars reference. It increases the damage of the thrown sword and reflected shots while you’re on higher ground than the target. Now that we know both effects of these catalysts, let’s see how to get them:

1. Kill two Imbalanced Wardens: At the beginning of the Fire and Ice mission, turn around from the door you need to go into. Move forward and then turn left. That’s where you should see the first Imbalanced Warden. Second is hidden to the left of the same door you’re supposed to go into. Turn left and continue until you reach an arched tunnel. After you kill both of the Wardens, the message will appear. It’ll say, “Remnants of Darkness persist through time.”
2. Get to the Energy Puzzle Arena: Here, you need to overload every single sphere. Just pick up the orbs and throw them into each of the spheres. Once you overload all of them, an Imbalanced Warden will appear. Repeat this four times. After you do this four times, a Catalyst of Imbalance will appear. It’s a giant Taken ogre that you need to defeat. After you do that, you’ve completed all the requirements for the Hyperblade catalyst to drop.
3. Return to the Beginning of the Mission: After you finish the puzzle and flip the arena, don’t go to the boss fight. Instead, return to the place where you fought the first two Imbalanced Wardens. There, you’ll find two oddities that you need to destroy with your Praxic Blade. Doing this will spawn two additional white spheres beneath the arena. Fill them in with the white orbs equally, don’t overload them. Now kill the boss, and you’ll get the Upper Hand catalyst in the Vault.

These catalysts are much easier to get than the Echoing Blade one. The second step takes the longest, but it’s not hard. Now you can enjoy your catalysts! The last catalyst, Energy Conduit, is still unavailable. It’ll only be available once the dungeon goes live.

Conclusion

With this extensive guide, you now know how to get a Praxic Blade. Not only that, but you can also get all three catalysts available quite easily. We hope this guide was helpful. Once the fourth catalyst becomes available, we will update the article. Stay tuned for more guides on Destiny 2 and see you soon.
