With the Witness destroyed for good inDestiny 2: The Final Shape, everyone can finally sleep a little easier, but unfortunately their work isn’t done yet. The Witness' corruption is still rampant in the Traveler, and the Lucent Hive’s presence isn’t helping. It’s up to you and your fellow Guardians to help cleanse the Pale Heart, and it’s done via Overthrow.
Each of the major zones in the Pale Heart is a battlefield, and if the Traveler’s going to heal, you’ll need to do a variety of tasks to help it gain progress, such as defeating powerful enemies and even just getting gifts from the Traveler. The fight isn’t over just yet, Guardian – Overthrow these zones.
Overthrow Activity Overview
Overthrowbecomes availableto you once you’vecompleted the Final Shape campaignby way offinishing the mission Excision, and is amulti-stage activitythat can becompleted solo or with a team of up to three players.
Each major zone has its own Overthrow activities and level counter, andprogress independent of each other.
Each of thethree major zonesin the Pale Heart -The Landing,The Blooming, andthe Impasse- can be Overthrown bycompleting four levels.
Thefirst three levelsof them are made up ofspecial Public Events and activities called encountersandeach zone has a small rangeof themspecific to each level, while thefinal level is always a bossthat needs to be killed.
Some activities such as The Stitching canappear on multiple Overthrow levels, but the majority do not.

How To Defeat The Impasse’s Overthrow Boss
At Overthrow Level Four, The Impasse’s boss is going to spawn, and you’re in for themost difficult one of themall. There arethree possible bosses– a Subjugator, a Harbinger, or a Tormentor – and while theirpatterns are different, they all have the same health and mechanicsto deal with.
Watch out for theorange light lines that periodically crossthe area. These are Witness-based attacks thatdo heavy damage and cause Pervading Darkness, a brief but debilitating status effect.
It begins in thelower right corner of The Impasse in the ruin-like area, and there’s going to be a ton of enemies:Taken Vandals,Taken Thrall, andGrimsthat willconstantly spawnalongside the boss. Whichever boss you get, it hasthree health sectionsand a lot of health at that.
Focus on dodging everything while youwhittle the boss' first health sectiondown, and once you do, it willget an immunity shield, andseveral Darkness Shards are going to spawnaround the area. Run around the area andpick up every Darkness Shardyou see, then a message will tell you that theboss' shield has disappeared.
The Call, one of the Pale Heart weapons, isexcellent for clearing out the Grim, which tend to dodge other weapons easily.
Once that shield’s gone, you’ll beable to start damaging the bossagain, and it’s just rinse and repeat from there while you handle the adds and watch out for the Witness' attacks. Get itshealth down to one third, and it’ll be the same thing:get rid of the shield by picking up Shards.
If you’rehaving trouble seeingwhen the sandstorm kicks up,look for the orange glowof the Darkness shards and enemies to keep an eye on where everything is.
