While this week's reset brought the Lumina quest that many were waiting for, it also meant a new clan raid challenge for the Crown of Sorrows raid became available. This one, known as Total Victory, centers on the Gahlran's Deception encounter of Destiny 2's newest raid. Players have discovered how to complete the raid challenge in general as well as an easy way to do it.

Before getting to the method, Destiny 2 players must have a clan level of 4 or above this season for the challenge to appear. Pick it up from Hawthorne at the Tower before jumping into the Crown of Sorrows raid. Obviously, raid teams will need to progress through the raid until reaching the Gahlran's Deception encounter.

Once there, the requirement of the challenge is to break the shield of Gahlran's Deception five times in a single damage phase. Given the time it takes to get five shield breaks in on Gahlran's Deception, this will require players to one-phase the boss as well. That means that no matter what method players use, they will want their highest damage-dealing weapons in order to kill the boss in one phase. Shotguns and grenade launchers work especially well here.

The easiest way to do this is to use the Anarchy exotic grenade launcher from the Scourge of the Past raid. Have at least one or two players equipped with Anarchy and be sure that they have the Blessing. As they fire the arc-chaining grenades from Anarchy around Gahlran's Deception, the Blessing will continue to be applied to the boss with every tick of damage. This allows any player to go up and melee the boss, breaking its shield, which is what the rest of the team members will need to do—five times to be exact—before the boss is defeated.

To break the shield using the mechanics of the raid and without using Anarchy, at least five players will need the Blessings and then will have to rotate breaking the shield while also being sure to not be too close to another player or the boss when the shield pops thus losing their own Blessing. It is obviously doable (and probably how the encounter was intended to be done) but it will be easier to use the Anarchy strategy.

Completing the challenge will move players one step closer to the Shadow title and seal.
