Destiny: The Taken King How to Unlock the Nightstalker Subclass

Use the power of the Void to defeat the darkness.

The Nightstalkers’ Trial

Recommended Videos

After you arrive at the Black Garden you’ll learn that Cayde-6 is very interested in keeping Tevis alive, but not for the reason you might think. Despite being a cheat and a thief that smells like “thrall spit”, Cayde-6 needs Tevis alive… because he owes him a lot of glimmer.

Make your way through the Black Garden, taking out the Vex on the way, until you find Tevis’ lifeless body. You were too late. However, his bow is still active. A cutscene will trigger and you will have unlocked the Nightstalker subclass, congrats! However you’re not done. You now need to use your new super, Shadowshot to clear out hordes of Vex that stand between you and the exit.

Shadowshot is a super designed with support utility in mind. It condenses the power of void into a single arrow shot fired from a void bow. It charges up as soon as you activate it and will inflict high damage on one target that you hit. You might be thinking, big deal, I can do that with the Golden Gun but better. You’d be right except Shadowshot has an extra trick up its sleeve. It leaves behind void energy that paralyzes and inflicts damage over time on any enemy that was nearby the original shot. When used properly, you can use Shadowshot to immobilize groups of enemies easily.

With this in mind, use Shadow shot to work your way through the groups of Vex. Hit them and finish them off with your gun if needed. Once you’ve worked your way back to the exit the mission will complete and you will be able to return to the tower.

Speak to Cayde-6 to complete the quest and receive the level 40 legendary Hunter cloak, Nightstalker’s Cloak. You’ll have abilities unlocked up through your melee attack which includes your super, jump and grenade.

Enjoy your new subclass in DestinyThe Taken King’s new missions and make sure to start leveling the Nightstalker up with bounties and killing enemies. Safe travels, Nightstalkers.
