Destiny 2's Legendary Lost Sectors can be quite difficult to farm if you're just starting out. Dozens of Champions and tough enemies filter out most builds, yet Skydock IV is a rare exception. Runs of this Lost Sector take just over a minute and can easily be farmed, leading to the best Lost Sector farm in Destiny 2.

Before you jump into Skydock IV, be sure you have a high Resilience stat, The Lament Exotic Sword, and some form of healing. This guide will cover the modifiers you can expect, which loadout to use, and we'll quickly go over how to successfully farm Skydock IV.

Updated April 17, 2023, by Charles Burgar: Lightfall's difficulty changes haven't changed the speedrunning strategy for this Lost Sector, at least for experienced players. We've updated this guide to include new modifiers and loadout recommendations to reflect changes in Lightfall. Some new weapons were also added to reflect Artifact changes and balance tweaks.

Destiny 2 The Lament Exotic Sword

Skydock IV is the easiest Lost Sector you can farm. It's possible to skip the first two rooms and still achieve Platinum ratings, allowing you to clear a Master-tier run in just over a minute. The modifiers for this Lost Sector are listed below.

Destiny 2 Skydock IV Lost Sector Final Boss

We will only be guiding you on how to speedrun this Lost Sector. This strategy grants Platinum runs in about a minute. Legend is technically easier, but Master has better Exotic drop rates. Both difficulties use the same strategy.

Skydock IV Enemies

  • One Unstoppable Incendior
  • Colossus Boss
  • Incendiors (Void)
  • Legionaries
  • Psions

Right as you spawn, you'll want to drop down and immediately book it to the final boss. Ignore all the enemies. If you kill a few of them, more Champions will spawn and brick the Platinum speedrun. Use invisibility or Restoration effects to make it past the enemies.

In the boss arena, you'll want to focus on the Unstoppable Incendior. It'll spawn to your left as you enter. Stun it with your Unstoppable weapon, then use Lament or Gjallarhorn to quickly burst down the Champion. With Lament, you'll want to use a three-hit light attack combo before initiating a heavy attack. You'll recover most of your HP.

At the back-left corner of the room will be the Colossus boss. Once again, use Lament or Gjallarhorn to kill them. This shouldn't take long with the Solar burn active. Immediately grab the Lost Sector chest. Rinse and repeat as needed. If you're struggling to survive, spec for 100 Resilience and use a Solar subclass. Cure and Restoration effects make you substantially harder to kill.
