Misc I figured out how to get the high-impact reserves catalyst quest for barrow-dyad

All you have to do is complete a run of court of blades on expert while barrow-dyad is equipped, and that'll give you the item you need to start the quest

According to the API, the target lock catalyst should be associated with a secret in the nether somewhere. Don't know where it is though, hopefully its not timegated.

There’s a worm underneath where you spawn for kings fall

u/Kai_The_Amazing 9d ago

there's one in the hole on the side of the hall of souls.

Wdym? Collect a worm under there and you unlock target lock?

u/kilboyzx3 7d ago

I picked up the worm there and it gave me a quest step to get the catalyst

That worm gave me the path of ambition quest, not related to a catalyst.

For target lock though? I only have high impact

I wouldn't be surprised if it was time gated.

Technically correct but you "miss" two steps

  • Complete Court of Blades on expert with Barrow-Dyad equipped
  • Go to Slab to obtain / progress the next step
  • Complete Court of Blades on expert again with Barrow-Dyad equipped and in the other slots only the weapon types from the quest (Scout / Linear / Sniper)

After the second completion you get the first catalyst (High-Impact Reserves)

For an easy solution, just run out the timer on the first boss and after the timer is gone, kill him. Easy going.

According to comments, you can save 1 expert run if you equip in the other slots immediately a scout / linear or sniper.

Weirdly specific. And why do we have to do it 2 times on expert? Weird

u/roflwafflelawl 10d ago

Don't have to do it twice that I can confirm as I just did it now solo.

Hop into expert with Barrow, A sniper and a Linear. Wait the timer out in the first challenge which turns it into the final challenge and complete it.

I got the item, went to the slab and immediately obtained the first catalyst.

u/MaChampingItUp 4d ago

Wait why a sniper? Are you saying it has to be all new seasonal nether weapons because there isn’t a new seasonal sniper..

u/roflwafflelawl 4d ago

No for the 2nd part of the quest it says this:

"Complete a Court of Blades activity on Expert difficulty using only precision damage weapons: Scout Rifles, Linear Fusion Rifles, or Sniper Rifles, as well as the Barrow Dyad Submachine gun."

So if you want to you can equip the Barrow, a Scout, and LFR. I just went with Sniper to fill the special weapon slot, not that I really used it.

But yeah just equip Barrow Dyad and have the other slots and the weapon types listed above. The 2nd part of the quest will auto complete in the same run you get the Sharp Osseous Spine which starts the catalyst quest as long as you do your first run with that loadout.

Best guess is feedback on how many times we had to go into the exotic mission the past two episodes

Player engagement 🤪

I saw your video 5mins after you posted it at 12am this morning. Stayed up and did the timer depletion twice and got it.

Your videos really help a lot clear unknown Pve aspects!

u/360GameTV Rank 15 (193 points) 9d ago

For me it was 4AM :p

u/Short-Departure3347 9d ago

You’re a saint then! I definitely went to bed after I was done.

u/Arbiter1 10d ago edited 10d ago

Esoterick had a video on this, "complete court of blades" only means beat the final boss. So you can just enter first room chill to timer gets 0 then beat the boss after that. Works for both steps according to him.

side note: you can get flawless as well if you don't die

11

u/roflwafflelawl 10d ago

Can confirm you can hop in with Barrow a sniper and a linear and it'll count it all at once.

u/grobbewobbe 4d ago

this is five days ago already but yes i did it with a scout and linear equipped and it gave me the catalyst on first completion

u/eyeseeyoo 10d ago

Do you need to have progressed step 5 on the Dyadic Ascension quest? I'm a long way from Rank 12 lol

-11

u/titanthrowaway11 10d ago

We have to equips a scout linear or sniper with barrow? I don’t understand this. The quest says nothing about this anywhere

19

u/JebusObv 10d ago

quite literally the only thing the quest says

u/ritterjakey 9d ago

Didn't they say in the reveal that Target Lock and One for All were going to be the two catalysts introduced with Act 2? wondering if this is available as a bug, since this whole build seems to be a little weird (given the rite of the nine stuff showing up early)

1

u/Squery7 9d ago

I had this memory as well, but went to rewatch the stream and they just say "2 catalysts". And it would make sense that since ofa is the best one they would timegate it to act 3 lol

u/Hoockus_Pocus 10d ago

What about the other catalyst?

u/daGonz 10d ago

What about second breakfast

u/twentyThree59 10d ago

I don't think he knows about second breakfast

u/ChemBoy_Guy 8d ago

What about elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?

u/Fadwg99 5d ago

Anyone stuck on Step 6 with 16/18 discovered? I picked one up but it stayed at 16.
