You can do one of three are in these section, the strikes of the Forsaken DLC is:

The Corrupted

You have to do the Forsaken nightfall to unlock the achievement, there is a chance per week to see one of the above in the nightfall section

Thanks. I managed to figure it out now. Select the 4th option 'Nightfall Strike'. Mine was set to 'The Insight Terminus' by default. You just have to press A on this and then select the correct strike from there. Forgive me but I've been away from Destiny (pretty much since it launched) but I'm trying to get back into it & this wasn't 100% clear to me.

Thanks for the guide & for getting back to me so quickly.

Am I missing something here? You say that this must be done on a Forsaken Nightfall but the current nightfall this week is 'The Ordeal' yet this is not a Forsaken Nightfall but still when I check the recent winners for this achievement, there's a bunch of people who've unlocked it and it's been this way for weeks.

How are people unlocking this at the moment???

[Update: November 30, 2023]

It looks like the next available opportunity to unlock this achievement will be from
(December 26, 2023 to January 2, 2024)!

According to my source, link provided below, Week 5 of Season 23 will feature "The Corrupted" as its Nightfall Strike, which is one of the 3 known strikes that will count towards this achievement.

If you miss out on "The Corrupted" Nightfall Strike during Week 5, there is still a chance to get the achievement when it cycles back around in Week 11 (February 6 to 13, 2024).

So be sure to mark you calendars everybody and good luck!

Dont worry men. Thumbs up. I deleted by error the before comment i made hahahaha. But yes, in the vanguard section there is a nightfall section where is 3 weekly strikes. Personally I like the game a lot and i did the hallowed lair maybe 40-50 times to farm mindbenders ambitions shotgun for survival (ranked multi-player)

So as of today only Warden of Nothing and The Corrupted are available since Witch Queen launched. The Hollowed Lair got vaulted with the Tangle Shore.
This means that the chances to get a Forsaken Nightfall strike are now even lower than before. But at least the achievement is still obtainable. Now we just need to wait until a Forsaken strike will be featured in the Nightfall playlist. I'm already looking every Tuesday since 4 weeks now but there wasn't one yet...

To get this achievement you will need to do a Forsaken Nightfall. (Obviously) The first week of Forsaken is the strike 'Prison of Elders'. Recommended power is 540*. Although, me and two friends did this without a cheese. We were power level 515 (me), 514, and a 509. Took about 32 minutes being at our power, but now were in the 520's and it's very easy.

There might be a cheese for the final boss but as far as I know there isn't. I'm going to try and make this straight forward as possible. For hunters, you should use Nightstalker subclass with vanishing step. When the ads become too much to handle you can go invisible and revive the fireteam. The tether will be very helpful when you're in the room where you have to disarm the bombs. I wouldn't use tether on the first bomb, but one use another on the 2nd and possibly use one for the 3rd.

For the boss room, we all used the Wisper of the Worm and did some damage to the boss then killed some ads as they don't respawn once killed. Just do that over and over and hide in the shadows when the boss does it's bursting of energy. Just keep going and it may take a few tries but you'll eventually get it. Also stay in the back when the ads spawn as they don't spawn in the back.

I would highly recommend being in the 520s+ and do the same thing except when you shoot at the boss you can easily melt the boss. Hopefully this helped some people and I primary Hunter so sorry Titans and Warlocks. If any titans and warlocks that have this achievement for the Prison of Elders Nightfall leave some advice for people running the same races as you.

So I am confused I did a NF yesterday, but it was an older one, but at the new 540 LL suggestion, how do you get a Forsaken NF? Can you choose or is it random, etc.? Or do I have to wait until a Forsaken strike comes around?

I’ve been away for a bit from Destiny so things might not be as I remember haha

Honestly, I don't know, my friend is always the fireteam leader haha. I 'think' you can pick a Forsaken NF strike. He's not on, and I'm not at home right now to check, but I will update you when I get back home!

I can confirm as i just ran "The Corrupted" Nightfall and was able to get the achievement. You just need to make sure the strike ends with a forsaken boss. Since this strike moves users through the Dreaming City area it is part of the new DLC

As Fuzzmeister stated above the 3 maps that count are:

Warden of Nothing
The Corrupted
The Hollowed Lair

**As of Season of the Wish (Nov 2023 - Jun 2024), The Corrupted is currently in the Nightfall rotation. This week is the LAST WEEK where the strike will be active during the season. Expected dates of availability are listed below.**

Current Nightfall rotation for Season of the Wish (Nov 2023 - Jun 2024):
  1. PsiOps Battleground: Cosmodrome
  2. Birthplace of the Vile
  3. Hypernet Current
  4. Lake of Shadows
  5. The Corrupted
  6. Heist Battleground: Moon
The Corrupted will be active as the Nightfall between Apr 30th, 2024 - May 7th, 2024.

**Dates are based on weekly reset time at 10AM PST (5PM GMT) every Tuesday.**

For returning players: This achievement can still be unlocked if you have already completed the requirements on another platform (Steam, Epic, Playstation, Stadia). Setting up Cross-Save through bungie.net will automatically unlock this achievement (along with any others completed) upon logging in on Xbox/Windows.

If the achievement still doesn't unlock even after completing the requirements, you can also try the Switch Profile method (Character Menu (cn_start)-->Settings (cn_RBx2)-->Gameplay (cn_downx3)-->Switch Profile). This will prompt you to select your account to re-login, which should force unlock any completed achievements.

---------------------------------
---------------------------------

This is more of an updated info guide, as Destiny 2 has undergone several changes to its systems over the years, including its Nightfall system. I will update this solution periodically, if and when the strikes are available as part of the seasonal rotation.
  • This achievement requires certain pieces of content to be selected by the developers as part of seasonal updates. As such, this achievement may become temporarily unobtainable for long/unknown periods of time, unless the requirements have already been completed on another platform (See note regarding Cross-Save above).
  • This achievement will require ownership of the Forsaken Pack, which must be purchased separately from the base game.
  • If you purchased the Forsaken expansion on any platform prior to the launch of The Witch Queen expansion in 2022, the Forsaken Pack will be automatically given to you on the respective platform.
---------------------------------
---------------------------------

This achievement requires you to complete a Forsaken-era strike when it is the selected Nightfall of the week.
  • As of the release of the Lightfall expansion, Nightfalls are Strikes and/or Battleground activities that are given increased difficulty and gameplay modifiers on a weekly rotation.
  • They are located in the Vanguard section of the Destinations tab in the Director.
  • The lowest difficulty these strikes can be is Hero (1770 Power), which has a low-level barrier for entry (1750 Power) and matchmaking for up to 3 people. The recent Into The Light update is giving all players a set of 1810 Power for free, so you can skip the Power grind for the time being.
Each 3-month Season of the game, 6 Strikes/Battlegrounds are selected for Nightfall rotation, rotating weekly throughout the season. With upwards of 20 Strikes/Battlegrounds in the game, this means that a Forsaken strike is not guaranteed to appear during a Season.

The developers (Bungie) have also started placing Battlegrounds in Nightfall rotation more frequently, so the chance of seeing a Forsaken-era strike as a Nightfall is expected to decrease with future seasons.

As of the Witch Queen expansion in 2022, there are now only 2 strikes that fit the criteria for this achievement:
  • The Corrupted - Dreaming City
  • Warden of Nothing - Prison of Elders, Tangled Shore (Due to the removal of the Tangled Shore destination, this strike is now listed under the Dreaming City destination.)
If one of these strikes is in the rotation for a season, you just need to complete the Nightfall on whatever week it is selected. If none of the strikes you need are selected for the current season, you will have to wait until (at least) the next season for another chance to complete this achievement.

---------------------------------
---------------------------------

It is also possible to play a Forsaken-era strike as a Grandmaster Nightfall outside of rotation during a season. However, this still requires a Forsaken-era strike to be amongst those selected for the season AND it is currently unconfirmed if completing a Forsaken Nightfall outside of rotation will award this achievement.
Information is listed below in the Spoiler tag.
Proceed at your own risk.

Again, the methods involving the Grandmaster gilding node have not yet been confirmed to award the achievement, so attempt at your own risk.

Thank you so much for this guide—as the game keeps changing it's hard to find up to date achievement information. Fingers crossed that a Forsaken will rotate in during November (or Bungie will see fit to change this achievement).

I believe players with access to the Conqueror gilding node can see the rotation early once the season starts.
If that's not the case, I'm fairly certain it can be found by pulling the information through the game's API, similar to how they track Eververse calendars each season.
Either way, someone usually places the rotation somewhere in the Destiny Reddit for everyone's awareness.

The recommended light for Hero Nightfalls is still 1770, but it might let you join into them as early as 1750 (current soft cap). They might be a bit more difficult than intended, but you should still be able to join them at least.

Prison of Elders is the current Nightfall strike and it recommends a power level of 1995. I'm looking for a group to do it this week.

It's worth a shot. Typically, if you have completed the requirements on a separate platform and log in to Xbox/Windows with Cross Save, it should give you all the achievements you've completed. However, I know this achievement specifically requires the Forsaken expansion (for which ownership is platform-based), so I'd recommend at least downloading the game on Xbox/Windows and seeing if it gives it to you.

The new Forsaken Nightfalls carry a recommended power level of 540. The possible strikes are The Hollowed Lair, Warden of Nothing, and The Corrupted. Pick up a challenge card from Xur to set your own modifiers. The score does not matter because you just have to complete it.

To obtain this trophy, you must complete one of the 4 new strikes in the expansion: Asylum of the Swarm, Warden of the Void, Hollow Lair, and Blighted when available as Nightfall.

With the release of the expansion, the recommended level for completing Nightfall has become 540. At this level, you can easily complete any of the prepositional raids in Nightfall mode. Basically, at a certain skill level, you will be able to complete Nightfall, and will receive this trophy with a full group of 510-520, using prestige version modifiers.
