Destiny 2's Witch Queen expansion introduced Savathun's Throne World, a new activity space that features The Wellspring and three new Lost Sectors. Sepulcher is one such Lost Sector and is arguably the easiest of the bunch. So long as you have a good loadout, you should be able to farm Sepulcher without much issue.

Master Sepulcher features over half a dozen Champions, minimal shields, and small combat spaces that pair nicely with Solar 3.0 and even Warmind Cells. This guide will cover all the modifiers tied to Master Sepulcher and the best strategies for safe and quick Lost Sector clears.

Updated January 15, 2023, by Charles Burgar: Season of the Seraph has refreshed all Artifact mods, allowing GLs to stun Unstoppable Champions among a Primary anti-Champion refresh. We've updated this guide with new loadout recommendations, referencing this season's new Champion counters and Exotic buffs that released in recent months.

Modifiers And Recommended Loadout

Sepulcher is one of the easier Throne World Lost Sectors. You won't find many shields, Champions spawn in pairs, and the Lightbearers in this Lost Sector can be easily avoided with good cover. Here's what you'll be dealing with.

Sepulcher Modifiers

Sepulcher Modifiers

Burn

Solar

Shields

Arc and Solar

Champions

Barrier and Unstoppable

Chaff

Radar is disabled.

Fire Pit

When defeated, Acolytes spawn fire pools that cause damage over time.

Master Difficulty

Equipment Locked

You will not be able to change your equipped loadout after this activity starts.

Match Game

Enemy shields are highly resistant to all unmatched elemental damage.

Extra Champions

This mode contains additional Champions.

Limited Revives

Limited fireteam revives. Gain additional revives by defeating Champions.

Ignore the shield and Match Game modifiers; there's only one Arc shield in the entire Lost Sector. You'll want to focus on bringing mid-range weapons, preferably ones that deal Solar damage to match the burn. Most Champions in this Lost Sector are Barrier Knights, so be sure you have a consistent method of countering them. TwoLucent Lightbearers are present in this Lost Sector.

Recommended Loadout

Subclasses

Hunter

Gunslinger or Arcstrider

Titan

Sunbreaker

Warlock

Shadebinder

Hunters should use the Gunslinger subclass. You'll want to build into Ignites, using either Caliban's Hand or Ophidian Spathe with Knife Trick to create explosions. If you don't like Gunslinger, Arcstrider is also viable here. Spec into Combination Blow and use Assassin's Cowl to safely punch your enemies to death.

Titans can use either Sunbreaker or Sentinel. Sunbreaker and Loreley Splendor make you virtually unkillable, and you'll have access to fantastic add-clearing Sunspots. If you want to clear the Lost Sector quickly, use Consecration with Synthoceps for some jaw-dropping damage. Be sure to build around melee energy if you opt for this type of build.

Warlocks can't go wrong with Shadebinder. Bleak Watcher turrets and Osmiomancy Gloves will play the Lost Sector for you. Throw a grenade to get full energy, charge a Bleak Watcher, and repeat. You'll freeze just about every enemy that spawns, making it quite easy to counter Barrier Champions and Lightbearers. Beware that Stasis freezes will wipe Unstoppable stuns. Remove all turrets before facing an Unstoppable Champion.

Weapons

Arbalest

Breaks Barrier shields.

Wish-Ender

Breaks Barrier shields and uses Primary ammo.

Lament

Matches the burn, breaks Barriers, and heals you.

Witherhoard

Deals great passive damage and stuns Unstoppables this season.

Leviathan's Breath

Counters Unstoppables and deals great DPS against Champions.

Solar Heavies

Sleeper Simulant, Gjallarhorn, Cataclysmic, and Ascendancy are good options.

Bring a loadout that specs heavily into Solar. The Solar burn will drasically improve your DPS, and most shields in this Lost Sector are countered by Solar damage. Solar Heavy weapons like Cataclysmic and Lament are S-tier for this activity. Witherhoard is also worth bringing if you can fit Unstoppable Grenade Launcher on your gloves. And if you need a solid Barrier counter and aren't playing Stasis, bring Arbalest or Wish-Ender.

Sepulcher: Entrance

Entrance Enemies

  • Two Barrier Knights
  • One Lightbearer Wizard
  • Knight (Arc)
  • Acolytes

You'll spawn atop of a Hive Knight kneeling beside a few Acolytes. Use your Heavy or a grenade to quickly break the Knight's shield. Clear the adds and continue. You'll enter a cube-shaped room with two overlooks at the back-end corners of the room. Each acts as a spawn point, first spawning a Barrier Knight. Both Knights spawn at once.

Now is a great time to proc an Ignite, chuck a grenade, or use any form of AoE damage to deal with the enemies. Stick to the back of the room, taking cover in the hallway you just came from. The Barrier Champions should be taken care of as soon as possible. Lower their health by around 20% to force their barrier to spawn. Break it to give yourself a small damage window. Repeat for the second Knight.

Defeating both Knights will spawn more adds and a Lightbearing Wizard. The Wizard is quite passive and will stick to the exit. You can wait to deal with the Wizard last if the adds are giving you problems. For the Wizard itself, stay at a distance while you lower its HP, equipping your Heavy weapon if it deploys a Rift. Be sure to crush its Ghost before you leave.

Sepulcher: Second Encounter

Second Encounter Enemies

  • Two Unstoppable Ogres
  • One Barrier Knight
  • One Lightbearer Acolyte
  • Acolytes
  • Thrall

You'll enter a short hallway before reaching the second room. A Barrier Knight will be guarding the hallway, so have your anti-Barrier counter at the ready.

This next room is similar to the last one. Swarms of Acolytes and Thrall will attempt to push you. Sunspots, Ignites, well-placed grenades, and Stasis can all shutdown these Hive in their tracks. Supporting the Hive will be two Unstoppable Ogres, one spawning immediately. Deal with the Ogre right as you enter the room or wait.

Killing enough Hive will cause a Lightbearing Acolyte to spawn. This Lightbearer is the deadliest, using a twisted version of the Blade Barrage Super to deal immense damage. Focus on the Lightbearer first, freezing or suppressing the target if you can. Stick to cover from the hallway to prevent getting hit by a blade. Once it's down, stun the Ogre and break the Ghost. Retreat to the hallway to finish clearing the room.

At this point, a second Unstoppable Ogre should spawn. Much like the first Ogre, stun and kill the Champion with your weapon of choice. Stunned Ogres take an immense amount of damage from your Heavy and Super. Clean up the remaining enemies, then make your way to the boss arena.

Sepulcher: Boss

Boss Fight Enemies

  • Knight Boss
  • Two Barrier Knights [Spawn delayed slightly]
  • Acolytes
  • Thralls

The final room in the Sepulcher Lost Sector plays just like the last two. You'll find a large group of Thrall kneeling in front of the Lost Sector chest. Killing the Thrall will spawn the boss, a massive Knight that is fairly easy to avoid. Stick to the back of the hallway you just came from, picking off the adds one by one.

Two Barrier Knights will spawn shortly after the boss spawns, one on each side of the room. They'll both move up to fight you. Focus on killing one Barrier at a time, alternating Barrier stuns as you damage them. This is a good time to use the rest of your Heavy or a charged Super. Defeat the Barrier Knights, quickly melt the boss, then open the chest to finish the Lost Sector.
