Prior to Shadowkeep, to reach the entrance to the Shattered Throne, you had to use one of the portals scattered around the [[Dreaming City]] to enter the Confluence. Following the path to the central room on a Strong Curse week, you would see a giant Taken gateway in a large room, with a [[Techeun]] standing in front of it. Approaching the gateway and following the prompt it gives would allow you to enter the Shattered Throne. It is still possible to reach this gateway, but it is purely cosmetic and isn't required to reach the Shattered Throne.

After you get far enough, you should trigger a checkpoint. Jump down, kill the enemies below, and at the end of the path, there will be a boss that you need to kill named [[Asterion, Set Apart]]. There will be snipers during this portion as well. Kill the enemies and move on to the next part.

You'll find yourself in a long hallway. On the sides are Taken Hobgoblins sniping you, along with Taken Phalanxes and Knights. Carefully take them out one by one, so that they don't trouble you as you make your way across the hall. Be especially wary of the Knights, as their fire attack can deal serious damage. When you reach the end, turn left. You'll enter a wide-open room with catwalks and a few pillars with platforms here and there. Your goal is to make it all the way to the left side. [[Taken Ogre]]s and obstacles will spawn on the platforms as you progress. Be careful and take out the Ogres as quickly as possible from a distance. Their eye blasts can easily knock you off the catwalks, which will kill you. [[Jötunn]] is excellent for this encounter, as it kills the Ogres in two shots each. Once you make it all the way to the left side of the room, you will find yourself in front of a barrier.

You have two options: either go up the stairs, go forward, and then jump to the ending right away (the harder path) or turn right and then go through a series of jumping puzzles. Stick to the wall and ascend the lifts to get to the last encounter.

[[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return]] is the final boss of The Shattered Throne. Once you start the encounter, two fairly large groups of [[Taken]] [[Psion]]s will spawn on either side of the room. Eliminate them as fast as  possible, then kill the three [[Darkblade]]s. Each one you kill will drop an orb. Pick them up. This is the start of the damage phase and you only have 45 seconds until you have to cleanse yourself in the middle of the room (the purple orb on the pedestal) or fail the encounter and have to start over again. Dul Incaru will occasionally summon a crystal near where she spawns at the encounter beginning. This will make any living Knights immune. Destroying it will revive any dead Knights at full health. Once your buff runs out, you will have to break the crystal to revive the Knights and get your buff back. Repeat this process until Dul Incaru is dead. Reducing the health of the Darkblade Knights to a low level, then killing all three to claim their buffs at once will make for an easy kill on Dul Incaru, as each stack of the buff provided will increase your damage. Gaining all three and using a Super like Thundercrash or Golden Gun with its complementary exotic (Cuirass of the Falling Star, Celestial Nighthawk) will allow Guardians to hit incredibly high numbers of damage, possibly even one-shotting Dul Incaru altogether.

After you beat Vorgeth and step through the door, you are going to see a statue. Talk to the statue and give it your Awoken Talisman. This starts the [[Wish-Ender]] questline.
