Destiny 2 Grandmaster Nightfalls are back, alongside a new expansion and season. Players worldwide must grind out their power level with the pinnacle pieces, and increase the overall bonus of the artifact. The starting date for the Grandmaster Nightfall in Episode Echoes is June 25, 2024.

This is regarded as the most challenging PvE content in the game, and it comes with increased rewards too, as Adept weapons from Nightfall and Ascendant Shards can all be farmed from the Grandmaster.

In this article, readers will find the order of each Nightfall Strike's release in Episode Echoes alongside the Grandmaster difficulty. Typically, the Conqueror title is available for gilding, as well as unlocking for the first time.

Instead of six Strikes, Episode Echoes requires each player to run nine Nightfall Grandmaster Strikes in total to gild a Conqueror seal.

Destiny 2 Episode Echoes has nine Nightfall Strikes in total, all consisting of unique modifiers and rewards. Aside from past Strikes, Bungie has put one new mission from The Final Shape expansion.

Here is the list of all Nightfall Strikes in Episode Echoes:

Week 1 (June 25 to July 2): The Glassway
Week 2 (July 2 to 9): Warden of Nothing
Week 3 (July 9 to 16): The Disgraced
Week 4 (July 16 to 23): Fallen SABER
Week 5 (July 23 to 30): Liminality
Week 6 (July 30 to August 6): Exodus Crash
Week 7 (August 6 to 13): PsiOps Battleground Cosmodrome
Week 8 (August 13 to 20): The Insight Terminus
Week 9 (August 20 to 27): The Devil's Lair

After a full rotation is completed with The Devil's Lair, players will see The Glassway return again. However, anyone with the Conqueror seal unlocked will be able to run all Strikes in a single week to gild the seal. This can be done from an additional node beside the primary Grandmaster node in the Vanguard section.

Players can run each Strike only once from this node, with nine Strikes in total for the gilded seal.
