- Destiny 2 Lightfall - Old Calus Cheese Was Patched - Here's a New Calus Boss Cheese - Final Lightfall Mission Desperate Measures Legendary / Easy Calus Boss Cheese - Final Lightfall Campaign Mission Desperate Measures Boss Fight Guide (Legendary) / Easiest Calus Cheese / Best Calus Cheese / How To Make Calus Boss Fight Easy. Just a quick video showing a new version of the boss cheese for the final Campaign mission where you fight Calus, where you can make it quick and easy and avoid pretty much all damage. Details below.
00:00 - Phase 1
04:25 - Phase 2
The old method was patched, but this new method is essentially the same. I've had a lot of comments asking about this, so I decided I should go in and find a new way. I found this spot for phase 1, and saw a few other people have also found it too. But here's my own video so hopefully more people can see it, and I'll redirect to it from the other two methods I posted. The phase 2 approach is the same as the original method I showcased.
PC setup:
MSI MPG Z490 Mobo, i9-10900k CPU, MSI RTX 3090 SUPRIM X GPU, 64GB DDR4 3200 C16 Ram, 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD, 8TB HDD

Thank you so much for your support! - Hry
I died more times jumping around this area than anything else but never died to the boss
I just wacked the fcker in the face (grapple melee + wormies) until he died
Exactly!!! Parkour is my true Final Boss! 😹😹😹
26 deaths in one night.. in the end the Twin Tails Ripped him to Hell.
I kept getting knocked off by the incendiaries and tormenters. Warlock moment. 💀
you cant use anything else than pull grenade there, cos this game is so stupid that one stomp even when you are too far can push you off platform. same as enemies grenade launcher, area effect is so wide also no object, no barrier blocks that, 2 hive still enter building in cosmodrome and shoot thru walls, servitar can still protect them thru walls
People wouldn't need to use the cheese if the arena was designed better.
You know bungie, they love to make us suffer. And I'm still struggling to fight the tormentor in one of the aftermath quests
@@VengefulSoul66 i killed the tormentor with the same method takes me 20+retry ,one and a half hour
6 shots with Taipan and Tormentor dies. Even fewer with IzzyB.
Wait people actually struggled that badly?
@@AwashimaSeriLieutenant not this calus
is the tormentors that handcannon mission
where the boss is tormentor instead of calus also there are not infinite string skill to use
not to mention i am only 1756
which tormentor will two shot me
btw the taken spawn also annoying as fk
Still works in late April 2024, man what a pain in the ass. Getting the jumps and grapples just right took practice like others have commented. Thanks for the video.
March 2024 - still works, thank you! Saved me a lot of headache as I was NOT looking forward to this fight 'again'
Yea I didn't think it works in April
@@Yungbeez55dose it
@@fatdogmanyeah it still works
Thanks for the update
@@Capt_Deadpool1 yeah I figured it out
Bungie is gonna disable the entire game at this rate lmao.
We just had Khepri’s Horn breaking Iron Banner, now this?
@@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX Don't worry, I'm sure there's more spaghetti code hiding somewhere waiting to get bugged out.
@@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX what do you mean now this? this been a thing for literally 16 months
@@mattisvicious6069 lightfall hasnt been out for 16 months my guy
@@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX This cheese has been out since lightfall dropped, the difference is, before you you could get under the platform/walkway leading to calus and slow kill him even when the dome happens. They added beams on the left and right sides of the tube (look at the triangle bit where he was shooting from) so you can't stay under the stairs the whole time anymore.
Who knew that fated annihilation could be denied by stairs. Time-old enemy
ask Claptrap about that one
Almost as dangerous as a door.
must be a decedent of Clap Trap.
now you know why fat feminists hate halflife, cos she will not fit on ladder
As someone who beat legendary Calus legitimately on my Titan, and used this cheese to finally finish my warlock I want to first thank you for the upload, but also just vent and ask the question of why Bungie sees absolutely no issue with this encounter.
Out of all the expansions, i hate Lightfall the most.
for me Calus himself was easy with Lucky pants and Erinas vow but what got me 99% of the time were the stupid Tormentors
I mean, doing it with a Titan is the easy legal way.
10 months later and I'm still wondering the same thing. I was WELL over the light recommendations, and it took way too long because of getting booped off the arena and grapple not working how it was supposed to. One of the most infuriating missions I've ever done, and I've been playing since D1
Got stuck on this so decided to LFG to look for help, don't bother fire team scaling is absurd every thing one shots it takes what is challenge solo & makes absolutely next to impossible in a group.
As of 10/05/24, this still works!!!
Took me some time to get the jumps right, but what helped me with the bubble jump was this: go to the place he stands in the video, and jump when the branches split in two.
Took me about half an hour i think, gl to everyone reading this! :)
Than fuck it still works. I almost smashed my controller. This was even more stressful than the final eramis fight last year where you got frozen 24/7
🤣 i went from cursing bungie to laughing my ass off after doing that bubble cheese.
For anybody struggling. The first bits super cheesable. Just hide behind the railings. If you cant get the jump timing right on the second phase to glitch out of the bubble, you can just save your rockets and super and pepper the shit out of calus & the tormentors. Its pretty easy with those too…
Imagine. The time just before i beat him with the cheese, i actually beat him with my super and rockets… then i died as i webslinged away from him because of the crap janky strand controls that blatantly lag, leading me to fall off the map... *for the tenth time!*Bungie are so stupid for such crap map design for such a boss fight. But at least its done!
And yes… I waited a whole year to get lightfall. Half price too. Whoop whoop!
How are you doing this in October?
Same!! This was my friend and I last night!
Update: May 16, 2024 - I did this again tonight with a Tusk of the the Boar, Graviton Lance, and Edge Transit. I did it with all three character classes now and I do the same method of jumping up at 3 seconds when it says 'joining allies' and grapple at 2 seconds. Just letting people know that it still works!
This does still work, for those asking. I did it on Feb. 4, 2024. When the bubble is coming down, I jump up when it says 'Joining Allies in 3 seconds' and then grapple up at 2 seconds. If you're bad at jumping like me, I'd practice the jumping parts as well prior to the encounter. Also, don't forget to take out the psions when on top of the bubble. My dumbass forgot they could damage me from there.
Doing the lord's work in the comments section. I was scanning and wondering.
Shout out for including the date.
used this cuz bungie forced me to solo legendary for guardian rank 8. this saved me a solid 2 hours of attempts. thanks man.
The mission wouldnt be that hard, but its extremely inconsistent with the red circles of death. You have 2 sec to get out or get wiped, but occasionally it just hits immediately. Seems bugged imo.
quick checkup, Phase 2 still works, for those who can’t get the bubble Just wait for “Joining allies in “” seconds” wait for it to hit 2 seconds then grapple up towards the bubble. that’s how i got it
You my man is a life saver your right worked great thanks wait for 2 secs left
This 💯
For those wondering, yes the phase 2 bubble cheese still works as of 18/6/23. Did it on my first try. You just have to time it right and grapple straight upwards.
Yes I grappled too far forwards and dropped into the arena. Did it again and aim further up and worked fine
It still works as of 8 Aug 2023
@@rowe024thank God, I'm using it for Parting the Veil 😂
@@ConnorMays2004hi, and what did you do with "join allies"? Thank you
Still works on the 24 of august
Tip for anyone trying to do this: the jump from the pipe back to the rail near the end of the first half of the fight is not as trivial as you think. I highly recommend practicing the jumps back and forth before starting the encounter.
I definitely should have listened to this advice lol. Luckily I made the jump first try.
Just a FYI for Warlocks use Balanced glide it helps a lot.
I just grappled and kept running while using osteo, I died so many times as you cant stay in one position for long, you make it easy. Thanks😊
Thank you for this. This still worked a year later. You’re literally a life saver. I’m a casual destiny player, so this mission gave me some real difficulties, but now I can finally finish the Lightfall campaign without spending days on this boss
Still works like a charm. You're the best! Trickiest bit for a hunter is that first jump.
Still works as of April 26th 2024. Thank you! ❤
I attempted this maybe 50 times, with no success. After using this method, I got it on my first attempt! THANK YOU!!
thank you! the part 2 cheese, using witherhoard, and a suggestion someone had to turn the music off finally got me through this 🙌🏽
Huge thank you!!!!! nobody from the clan wanted to redo this mission so I tried it today and oh man I was so Happy I can't thank you enough!
This whole thing is a perfect analogy for Bungie and our expected standard of performance when Calus says “this exceeds my wildest imaginations!”
Always appreciate the updates
appreciate the update on this. finally took the time to solo it this week
I was stuck on this guy forever! Looked this video up and I got it done! Thank you!
I’m upset I had to resort to this… like I spent 2 hours fighting first phase, not knowing a phase two was coming… 2 seconds in he killed me… he also had 2 tormentors with him…
For the second part if you’re still falling through, make sure you really wait till the last minute and jump high and then aim very high with your grapple. Otherwise you’ll land not high enough and fall through the top and have to do the second phase normally. I just did it after like 20 attempts and was about to say it’s patched. I just wasn’t aiming my grapple high enough to get up to the very top
This was in fact, some super cheese.
Thanks for the upload!
Needed this for the badge to complete and finish off the title, thank you.
Thank you Eso for being the single reason PVE sandbox developers still have a job
THANK YOU! This mission and every other one in Lightfall was unnecessarily hard ESPECIALLY with all the bugs thrown in with it. Paid DLC they don't fix but Free DLC they seem to be quick about fixing, says A LOT about the company.
4/12/23 still works, could not have done it without this video, you my friend are an absolute legend!!! Thank you!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
I was struggling on this on the hard mode playing solo
Tip for anyone doing this fight: The side platforms shaped like a curve can be used to easily kill the tormentors.
When one spawns, destroy both of its shoulders and get it to follow you. Jump on the curved platform and wait for it. When hes jumping up to it, you jump back off to where he came from. If he comes back down then go back up again. Repeat this back and forth until he eventually just walks off without jumping and dies.
I found this out by accident and its a lifesaver.
Bro made the enemy kill itself out of frustration
This is fantastic. When I got warped to the melee fight, I used my super and rockets. Did it solo thanks so much :)
Same..... only I used an MG.
Thanks for posting this dude, this game would have driven me crazy
Thanks finally after 3 days of frustration and falling off the map or missing jumps your video is most appreciated. To those of you who did this straight up no cheese on legendary I salute you
Still works as of 8/18/23. 31 attempts at about an hour. 28 failures on the first jump, 2 failures on the 2nd jump. On the second jump, I modified it a little to make it easier because I kept falling through. Just like the video, from the pipe to that corner, then I instead grappled to the center of the arena using a grapple point (you MUST use a grapple point or you won’t have another grapple to jump onto the bubble) then jumped to the upper area as shown in the video. When getting onto the bubble, YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL “JOINING ALLIES IN 2” to trapple straight up and then jump or you will fall through the bubble. Don’t get frustrated, once you have the jumps down it’s really easy (and I’m mediocre at best).
still working as of 9.30.2023. Timing the phase 1 jumps killed me more than anything else, and he shifts to phase 2 earlier than you think before his health bar is all the way gone. You really need to give yourself time to get into position for the jump/grapple because you'll miss it if you're rushing. I ended up on top of one of the web fibers and couldn't shoot through it, but you can move over to an empty space and not fall. Fat boy never stood a chance.
Thank you for this vid, I came back to d2 yesterday after 2 years away and started this campaign on legendary safe to say I really struggled to do this mission but this saved me
Thank you so much bro, I was struggling with this boss for a while
It still works, you have to remember that you have to wait for you grapple to regen before completing the first phase. If you seek within with the strand the game gives you, you should regen it a lot faster. Once you see Joining Allies : 2 seconds - Thats when you should grapple up. There are areas on the bubble that will make you slide down, just remember to grapple back up. I wasn't able to complete phase one, and do the dumb parkour and survive long enough for grapple, so I just ran around the entire area killing ads, and chunking his health.
I did another one this morning. Jump down to the scaffolding and walk all the way back. From here you pick off adds then focus on callus and tormentors. If you have a ranged super you can use it along with rockets. Tormentors stand still and are easy to pickoff. When bubble descents run down scaffolding and around edge and jump back up to the pipe and finish as you did in old cheese :)
Plz explain as I’m dumb asf
@@josuemartinez5555 so if you run forward twards callus to start the encounter them emediatelly turn to your left and jump off the edge so you are just to the left of the pipe that you used to stand on for final phase. Around the main arena there is a ledge you can walk on this catwalk is totally safe. But there is a scaffolding thing you can jump onto and walk back on so you can actually get an angle on callus. He will walk over and peek just enough over the edge so you can shoot him but he can’t do much to you. From here enemies can shoot you so pick off adds as they appear on your right and left. Tormentors will also go to your right or left put don’t move a ton so you can easily pick them off. Beware tormentors can hurt you so don’t get to gutsy. If low health run back to center catwalk. If you have a ranger super and rockets you can jump up and use them on callus. Recomend a one and don super. Warloc strand is what I used. Then for final phase run back to center catwalk and the pipe you used for original cheese will be on your right. Jump on metal beam scafklding right below that and onto pipe. Crouch and walk back to original final phase cheese spot.
Are these the beams that hold the main platform up? I’m trying that and I keep getting hit by the bosses main ability.
U the man . I was dreading doing this on master but now theres hope ty sir
Thank you. Just used this as of dec 15 succesfully.
Getting OUT from under the platform is the hardest part.
Thanks to grapple it saved my run
Still works as of June 20, 2023. Did it this morning. Used a Krait AR with Vorpal and Boss Spec. I killed the two Tormentors while under the stairs too. I stayed on one of the purple dome arms during the second phase. Took a while as some shots were not getting through the clear part of the dome. Worked better when he was almost under me. Thanks for the vid!
a god among mortals, thank you. Im tired of needing to lfg this guy it honestly kinda sad how bad i am at this game sometimes
Not your fault, just a pretty bad design of the arena for the most part im stuck and im about to rip my hair out lol.
Thanks buddy, already got down phase one, just got to practice the hard jump to the high platform and I’m golden.
Thanks a lot bro. Amazing how you figured this out. Huge help
At 1st this boss was hard for me, but then i discovered u get free grapples from using the green points, basically u get infinite grapples. Use that to clear ads with melee, then use witherhord for boss, and use linear or machinegun for tormentors. The thing is u gotta be on the move and use the grapple points.
His second phase is the only hard/bullshit part because he just rushes you the whole time. You can grapple to stun but he has so much health it's like chipping away at a rock. Poorly designed 2nd phase, imo.
Yeah, no, thank you strand, but I'm a warlock, not spiderlock.
Hard to reliably hot grapple points on console...no aim assist.
@@SpaceCucumbrrr 🕷️ 🐔?
@@Zornotfugenit's pretty easy
for the first phase I used osteo running around the outside and just kept firing at him, ignoring all the other enemies, until the bubble comes down
You just saved me so much time lmao cleared this on my first try using this method after 3 failed ones not knowing people cheesing him 😆
Thank you for posting this!
Polaris Lance. I used it for the tick damage and mag perk.
Going solo and not going the cheese way in here is insanely difficult especially in final boss mode. Like I can take care of enemies coming after me but an one but an 2 hit ko that constantly goes after me along with enemies is a no go I took so and had to grapple like crazy untik my super is filled. Bs it was and cant wait to do trio on this.
Still works as of today. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much helped a lot with passing this part
Still works as of 10th march 2024
10th of may and it still workd
You are a chad for this. Works perfectly still, and very easy cheese! I did it on my 2nd attempt, the first time i accidentally blew myself up with a rocket on top of the shield wall that comes down lol.
Amazing guide, very great and precise instructions.
bruh the only 2 times i actually pushed calus to 2nd phase i fell through the bubble instead of standing on it
Keep it under your hat because I don't want Bungie to find out but when I did not have sufficient skill to use this method, I did find jumping down to the beam below the arena, using wishender to see where calus was and then constantly throwing threading grenades in the general direction worked for me as the threadlings are seekers. With empowered strand my grenades were coming back very fast on their own(I was on Warlock and it did take me ages)
I beat it finally ‼️thanks for the help🔥💪🏽
OMG yes! I struggled making the jump out from under the stairs so just used my super, then Gjally'd my way through the first phase, then grappled up the dome.
Thanks!
I noticed yesterday that i have been done all missions with Legendary version. No wonder this was so hard. I change normal and it was easy. Although getting level 8 needs legendary also from this mission. Anyway, thanks for the new tip. Tried also other cheese where you jump under balcony, it seem to work first, but other Tormenter always dissappear, and not only, you cannot shoot Callus from there.
legendary isnt hard, only that stupid platform and stomp that pushes you off, zero ammo drops as always to deal with enemies. and you need to do that solo, taking 2 imbeciles from lfg makes it harder, they take more bullets to die and next you need to revive 2 imbeciles with 1 revive or you wipe after 30s. solo you need to worry about yourself. same as that stupid battleground arena, you need to dunk stupid ball in centre, with enemies shooting from every side, boss kills you with one stomp, so you need to jump, but then when in air you take more damage, then witches melt you in 1 second with her arc balls spam. all enemies shoot arc and yet bungo says in description solar threat. same as on lost sector what shields and champions are incorrect. this comes from studio that needed 9 months to switch stasis super description for left and right mouse. or now artifact arc mods descrpition. assuming someone tested that season before rls, nobody noticed. ohh thats how we know nobody tests that. yet bungo tried to brag about red haired feminazi freaks test team on twitter and removed that post faster than light cos people destroyed those freaks
For easy damage if you proc the Osteo striga poison and swap to a gun with vorpal weapon then striga poison will stay on the enemy indefinitely. You can have the vorpal weapon gun in your special or heavy slot, no need to swap in menus. Apply the poison and hide = free kill.
Didn't they fix it? I recall there was a patch note about the fix
They fixed that this season
@@buttesaggington5523 :(
Worked perfectly, thanks so much!
Dude, you are a life saver. I made like 100+ attempts at doing this, nearly finished a couple times, but then got one shotted or fell off the side.
It still works as of Jun 10th 24.
I am on this mission myself and was banging my head against the wall until 3am last night. Going to try this today (June 10, 2024) and will also report back if it works for me too lol. Thank you for sharing your experience with this 🧀
I got tired of constantly running around the arena so just did this.
@@user-fw4uh7ob2s I feel ya. I’ve been doing it solo legendary and the constant dodging death in this arena is ridiculous. Whatever works is my philosophy lol. 😆
"Due to recent Calus cheese, we nerfed Synthoceps again" © Bungie
Next they’ll have to disable strand for this fight!
finally did it… thanks for this really appreciate it
great cheese man still working rn thank you very much
Thank you, Esoterickk 🤗
Share exp for those still to try.... I stayed under the walkway until phase two, less stress that way. I did find not all weapons are created equal and at first, I thought it had been patched because I couldn't land any shots with primary through the grate until I swapped to another, then it was easy money. [not sure if it doesn't like explosive payload or other perks like this when shooting through grate but just try another weapon and see if you have same problem].
Ironically enough it's easier to hit Calus through the stairs if you're aiming for tue head. Not sure why, but my best guess is that the game can tell you're aiming for the head so the bullet goes through the stairs easier, but when you're aiming for the body the aim assist doesn't really help you out at all so the bullet spread is wider and thus hits the stairs more often.
Not sure if any of that made sense, but that was my experience.
@@jdamian0247 What you've said does make sense. I always aim for the head or ideally wherever the crit spot is on an enemy and I'm not a bad shot 🤣 so that is definitely not why it was happening. Appreciate the info tho.
I completed this campaign months ago, the cheese was useful and all but time consuming so I just did this legit, by using void lock with contra verse hold and striga.
If you poison with striga then put a gun with vorpal weapon in your hand the poison never goes away and you can just focus on staying alive while they slowly tick to death.
Many thanks, was not looking forward to this Solo, but this made it a One Try :)
Thanks for this vid! Managed to do it now 😁
Still works 11/06/2024
Still working 9/2/23
this actually helped me finish the campaign.
thank you
Thank you! It still works 12-29-2023. Practice your jumps first if you struggle with jumping; that’s what I wish I had done.
50 or so deaths later... On behalf of the destiny community thank you.
I did the legendary solo before the Starfire protocol nerf so it didn't have to cheese 🤣
kinda hard to do, cos you need to stay in rift, and when you stay in one place from distance he calls in solar bombardment or he and tormentors will yeet you off map. bungo changed solar bombardment to wider area so it could kill you under stairs, you needed to move to back and crouch. next they made calus balls he shoots at you smaller and they can fit in gap between steps on stairs. next like duality 1st boss they made less calus and tormentors moving and shooting you from edge, during new aspect arena with tormentor yeet i landed on railings and could not get back. then weapon with ricochet allows you to attack him from there, cos they ricochet to centre. finally changed grenade to grapple and every time he yeeted me i pulled myself to arena
worked great, this fight made me stop playing when it came out but I can finally be done with it now
thanks alot!! great video, just took 2 attempts instead of a lifetime like it did on my hunter the first time around.
Still woks thanks
Destiny community: “We want a challenge!”
Also destiny community:
For me Calus was fun with the first playthrough but trying to finish the campaign on all of the characters get really boring. Cheese just helps get it done simplier
bullet sponges ≠ difficulty
@@f0xii He's a fucking boss, do you expect him to die on two shots?
@@TheBadger there are many ways to make a boss fight challenge, bullet sponges aren’t one of them dumbass nigga.
nobody who did the cheese said they wanted a challenge
I love you 😭😭😭 had to subscribe after this one.
Still works. Finished it on legend campaign last night and just now on weekly mission. Very good stuff
People who try the phase 2, I usually wait till the "join" countdown reaches 2, then I jump up and grapple to the top of the bubble. Works everytime for me.
This mission sucks , everytime i get callus down to low health a tormentor slams me off the walkway and i die , done tgis like 20 times now , whoever designed this was a masochist lol
Patching their own terrible boss fight 🙄
Much appreciated my friend!
Took me a while to get underneath, I had to get to get to the pipe a different way. But otherwise it all worked out. Thanks for this!
Not a true cheese, more of a semi-one but if you leave one Tormenter alive (tried it with two, and it's much harder) not in its enraged state then it interrupts Calus' pathing to you in his final phase. He'll rush towards you but won't close the distance as fast and he's way less dangerous. One Tormenter in its normal state isn't a huge threat either
Also I learned the hard way, the Tormentor can approach you before the dome closes, if it grabs you, you are paralyzed. Cannot jump or grapple.
Worst part is, once you get out of its grasp, it can toss you off a platform 🤦
This fight is terribly designed lmao
Both phases still work as of 11/16/2023. Thank you so much!
It works. I just finished doing it. Exactly like the vid. Step by step. Thank you Eso!
So you can still jump up on the Veil and shoot form there without falling through?

Thank you for a great share as usual.
5/8/24: Still works. Just did it. Practice the jumps. Wait til "joining allies" before trying to get on the bubble.
Still works as of today, thanks!
After dying for about 40 times in total (after taking vent brakes to avoid destroying my PC in frustration). Finally found this cheese by good-old Esoterickk and it SUPER works. Getting to the pipe for the first phase was tricky but after that it was extremely easy. I do love challenges but this encounter was way too much for me. Thanks again!
