Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion introduced players to the vibrant city of Neomuna on Neptune, packed with secrets waiting to be uncovered. Among these are the elusive action figures, small collectibles that pay homage to the Cloud Striders. The Irkalla Complex action figure stands out as one of the trickier ones, requiring campaign completion and precise navigation. This guide breaks down every step to help you claim it efficiently.

Why Chase Action Figures in Lightfall?

These miniatures aren’t just decorations; collecting them contributes to the Lepidopterist Triumph, essential for earning the Lightfall title. Scattered across Neomuna, each figure ties into the expansion’s lore, offering hints via riddles displayed in a special room near the landing zone. The Irkalla Complex piece, hinted at with “Atop the towering rampart, three stalwart defenders stand watch. From muzzle to target; ready, aim—fire!”, demands post-campaign access and sharp shooting skills.

Prerequisites for Accessing the Irkalla Complex

Before embarking, ensure you’ve finished the Lightfall main story. This unlocks critical doors and portals in Neomuna. Equip a sniper rifle—it’s vital for the puzzle ahead. Recommended loadloads include long-range scopes for spotting distant targets. Solo play works, but a fireteam can handle enemy waves faster.

  • Complete Lightfall campaign.
  • Land at Nimbus in Zephyr Concourse.
  • Pack a sniper rifle with high zoom.
  • Prepare for Cabal encounters.

Start at Zephyr Concourse, the central hub. Head west to the elevated platform with green-lit turnstiles. Pass through into Esi Terminal. Follow the linear path past Cabal forces until you reach a raised door on the left. Enter, take the right fork to its end, and exit right onto balconies overlooking a descent. Spot the portal at the bottom and step through to arrive at the Irkalla Complex, near The Veil.

The journey mimics the final mission’s route, so familiarity helps. Watch for fake plants and environmental cues guiding you forward. The portal bypasses tricky jumps, teleporting you outside the fortified wall.

Solving the Cannon Puzzle

At the Complex, climb the wall to the top rampart. Three large cannons—your “stalwart defenders”—point outward. The riddle directs you to align from “muzzle to target,” firing at Darkness crystals that spawn in their line of sight.

  1. Position on the first cannon’s end.
  2. Look along its barrel; wait for a floating Darkness crystal to appear (may take seconds or repositioning).
  3. Snipe the crystal precisely.
  4. Repeat on the second and third cannons.
  5. After the third hit, the action figure materializes at your feet on the final cannon.

Crystals are semi-transparent and vanish if ignored, so act quickly. If stuck, hop off and remount the cannon to respawn them. Persistence pays off—some players report needing multiple attempts.

Displaying Your Collectible

With the figure in hand, return to the Nimbus landing zone. Drop to the right-side building with the green door. Inside, interact with the display matching the Irkalla hint. It slots in, revealing more lore and progressing your collection.

Tips and Common Pitfalls

  • Sniper Choice: Use anything with 60x zoom or better for crystal spotting.
  • Enemy Clears: Cabal respawn; clear them before climbing.
  • Visibility Tricks: Glance away and back to force crystal spawns.
  • Team Play: One player on cannons, others on adds.
  • Bugs: If portal fails, relog or fast travel.

Avoid rushing the climb; secure the area first. Videos from reliable creators confirm this method works consistently post-launch.

Broader Context: All Week 1 Figures

Irkalla pairs with Ahimsa Park’s figure (under central stairs). Week 1 unlocks these two, with more weekly. Full collection grants triumphs and bragging rights in the lore of Cloud Striders defending Neomuna.

Advanced Strategies for Collectors

For speedrunners, pre-clear Esi Terminal Cabal. Use Strand grapples for faster balcony traversal if unlocked. Track progress via Collections menu. These figures tie into Neomuna’s hidden history, rewarding explorers.

Integrate into patrol routines: Hit Irkalla during Veil public events. Share coordinates with clanmates for mutual hunts.
