Most oddities in the Pale Heart can be solved through trial and error, but some are just plain confusing. If you’re wondering what the Knight in the picture above is up to, here’s how to complete the Kneeling Hive Knight activity in the Pale Heart Destiny 2.
Where is the Kneeling Knight in the Pale Heart?
The Kneeling Knight can spawn as a random event in the Landing section of the Pale Heart. It doesn’t appear every time, but if it does, it will be on the overhang near the bridge. The Knight typically shows up on Overthrow level 2.
How to beat the Kneeling Knight event
The Knight always kneels in front of a portal and will drop an orb when you defeat it. I tried entering the portal with the orb multiple times, but it teleports me away and usually takes the item.
It turns out the solution is a little more specific. Jump at the portal with the Orb in your hands, and melee the portal with the orb as you do. If you do this correctly, you’ll teleport back onto the overhang, and the portal will move.
The Knight will also respawn nearby, although it won’t be kneeling as before. Defeat it, take the orb, and jump to the next portal, punching as you do. After you’ve done this several times, you’ll earn a chest and a sizeable amount of progress to the next overthrow level. Hive reinforcements spawn all over the place when you start breaking portals, so it’s worth stopping for some mob clearing if it gets a little intense.
Don’t worry if you lose the orb or mess up the jump, as the Knight will always respawn, so you can try again.
Most Pale Heart events are pretty simple and can be solved by accident or by shooting. One exception to that rule is the Memory Vestiges. These items are confusing but required for your Prismatic subclass.
