Destiny 2 Shuro Chi the Corrupted strategy and how to reach the second encounter
How to find and beat Shuro Chi the Corrupted.
Shuro Chi is high speed race to deal damage and solve puzzles - far removed from the challenge of prior encounter Kalli the Corrupted's test of your team's endurance and ability.
Here on this page, we will explain how to break Shuro Chi's shield, spawn the Eye of Riven's crystal, and how to complete the two puzzle rooms prior to the second and third section of Shuro Chi's damage sections.
If you want to read more about the raid, our The Last Wish guide can help, including how to beat Kalli the Corrupted, Morgeth the Spirekeeper The Vault and Riven of a Thousand Voices.

How to reach second encounter Shuro Chi the Corrupted
After you have killed Kalli there will be a door that opens at the back of her encounter. This path will take you through a series of caves that will bring you out at a very familiar bridge, but before that you'll need to run through some caves.
This bridge is actually the location of the glitched chest that was reported on prior to raid going live.
While crossing the bridge, prior to the section with the broken support structure, you will be able to see a Taken rift floating to the bottom right of one of pillars (the pillar cover in rocks on the left in the picture below). If you jump down and land on the ledge you will find one of The Last Wish's hidden chests and receive some raid specific gear. You'll now need to jump in the Taken rift to return to the scaffolding above to progress to the next raid door.
When you reach the opposite end of the bridge, there will be a series of ledges you can jump on that will eventually lead to the official start of Shuro Chi's encounter. Prior to opening the door, you will need to discuss with your team the different roles required to pass this encounter.
Shuro Chi the Corrupted strategy step-by-step
Now you've arrived, a summary of the steps beat Shuro Chi the corrupted are:
- Kill the Taken spawning, including the Eye of Riven, until the crystals spawn.
- Elect three players to pick up the three Prism Weapons surrounding Shuro Chi and form a triangle around Shuro Chi with their beams. While doing this assign a player to pick up the Taken Essence that dropped from Shuro Chi and generate super energy.
- Damage Shuro Chi until 1/6th of her health is diminished. Use the Taken Essence's super attack to disrupt Shuro Chi's instant death attack during this phase.
- Kill more Taken enemies and progress towards Shuro Chi's new spawn.
- Repeat the Prism Weapon method until Shuro Chi's shield breaks again. The same goes for the Taken Essence wielder.
- Clear the enemies in the puzzle room.
- Finish the puzzle and use the semi-spheres that spawn to jump to the next level.
- Complete two phases of Riven's health bar; killing enemies and then using the crystals to pop Shuro Chi's shield.
- Empty the second puzzle room and solve the second puzzle.
- Clear enemies and burst Shuro Chi's shield two more times to complete the raid.
- Upon destroying the final sixth of Shuro Chi's health bar you will have successfully complete the second phase.
Shuro Chi the Corrupted strategy in detail
The first set of roles will be the three guardians that will be using the three crystals that spawn around Shuro Chi to break her shield and one Guardian in charge of using the Eye of Riven's dropped Taken essence to stun Shuro Chi.
You will also need to assign roles for the puzzle rooms. In the puzzle room you will need four players to complete the puzzle and two players geared towards clearing the enemies that spawn in the room. Once you've got your duties, it's time to open the door.
As soon as you open the door, you will be swarmed by enemies and the timer for the first floor will start. You'll have four minutes to complete everything on this level and solve the first puzzle, so be quick and make sure you kill all of those enemies.
In amongst the swarms of enemies there will be an enemy called the Eye of Riven. Killing the Eye of Riven will drop an orb, keep track of it.
Now that all the enemies have been cleared, three Prism Weapons will now spawn. The guardians responsible for these should coordinate to jump on at the three plates their weapons spawned on. It's important that all of these guardians make sure to jump on at the same time as sitting on the plates will damage you over time. When all these players are ready they should shoot the guardian to their right, forming a triangle around Shuro Chi to pop her shield.
When the shield bursts, all the players should unload as much damage as possible in to Shuro Chi. During this section the guardian responsible for the sphere dropped by Eye of Riven should pick it up and charge the super.
As your team are attacking Shuro Chi, she will be trying to perform an all powerful attack that will completely wipe the team. It's the guardian with the drop to ensure that it charges super energy and hits Shuro Chi with the super to interrupt her attack and allow for the team to do more damage.
After you've destroyed the first chunk of Shuro Chi's bar at the bottom of the screen, she will progress to the second point of the floor and spawn another bunch of enemies. Clear this waves of enemies and then repeat the Prism Weapon method to pop her shields again and destroy another section of her health bar. When the second damage phase has finished, you will have gained access to the first puzzle room.
As Shuro Chi evacuates to the next floor through the puzzle room a load of enemies will spawn. Clear them. If you look to the walls you will see a large green circle on each of the three walls. Each image is split into nine sections that correspond with with nine plates on the floor.
All of the guardians taking charge of the puzzle room should check the first picture on the left and should complete the picture by individually jumping on the plates on the floor that match the missing tiles of the image.
Be careful, as a guardian cannot jump on the same plate two times in a row. After completing the picture, they players should look to the next image on the right and follow the same process and then pivot right one more time and complete a final image to unlock the platforms to the second floor.
These platforms rotate after a player has jumped on them, so be careful if you're collecting orbs or ammo as you may have to wait for them to stabilise before you catch up to your team. (Please note that all puzzles require you to complete them as if you are looking at them face on!)
When you ascend the newly formed steps in the first puzzle room, you will have to deplete another two segments of Shuro Chi's health on the second floor within four minutes. The second floor is identical to the first but with stronger enemies with the second puzzle room at the end. The second puzzle room functions the exact same way as the first and grants access to the third and final floor of Shuro Chi's encounter.
For the final floor of Shuro Chi's encounter the enemies will have reached their strongest phase. There will be ogres, an excess of knights, and acolytes to contend with alongside the Eye of Rivens. On top of that, the final section to break Shuro Chi's shield and kill her will constantly spawn enemies for you to contend with while you land the final blow. And you still need to do it within four minutes. Good luck!
All done? Next up - third encounter Morgeth the Spirekeeper.
