If you've made your way through most of the Legendary campaign of Destiny 2: Lightfall, there's a decent chance you're stuck on the final boss encounter against Calus. At the end of the mission Desperate Measures, you're in for a tough fight for a variety of reasons. Having spent quite a bit of time on it ourselves, we have some suggestions on what gear to equip and general strategies to finish the fight.

Osteo Striga is great at both dealing with the many enemies you'll encounter and damaging Calus. The fusion rifle is good for killing the green-shielded enemies (who should be prioritized) and other tougher enemies, as well as melting the overshield that Calus periodically receives.

You're able to equip Strand before the fight, and while that might feel like a disadvantage in combat at times, I'd argue it's essential. The biggest threat in this fight is not being shot by Calus and company, but by getting knocked off the map. Strand's grapple is capable of some clutch saves, and using it will give you a chance to save yourself if you're falling to your doom. Because of that, it's important that you always have your grapple cooldown available; try not to use it unless
