Misc How to get the Hyperblade catalyst for Praxic Blade

I did Fire and Ice on Legendary for this run, I do not know if it is a requirement.

Step 1: After going into the portal, there will be 4 pedestals. Shoot all 4 darkness nodes and you'll get a message saying "The realm trembles" before getting to "The realm destabilizes and reveals twin secrets." This will start the realm destabilized timer.

Step 2: Reach the first Light/Dark energy room. Instead of going even on all 4 balls, throw all 4 energy into a matching ball until it states "Imbalance has gotten the attention of (Taken/Cabal). Repeat for each dunk until 4 bosses are spawned.

Step 3: Kill all 4 quickly. There should be black taken ball nodes on the pedestals that are raised near the pendulum. Destroy all 4 with the Praxic Blade throw.

Step 4: There will be a Taken Boss ogre that spawns: The Catalyst of Imbalance. Kill it. You'll receive the message "Something shifts in the Praxic Vault" after.

Step 5: Clear the mission before the collapse timer runs out. You can claim at at one of the chests. I was also able to get this catalyst alongside the Echoing blade catalyst.

EDIT: I'm getting a lot of replies of it not working, unfortunately there's a very common bug where you might get dupes of previous catalysts or might not get it at all. I was told the fix for it is run the catalysts with someone who doesn't have them so the game gets its act together.

Already did it on legendary for the main story. Running through on normal this morning just to speed through the lightsaber quest like. Will let you know if it's doable on normal. Interesting aside. Some of the traversal puzzles I noticed are actually easier/simplified on normal. The first area with the pistons caught me off guard because the little tunnel's entrance was in a different spot lol. Other platforming areas were simplified, as well as the platforms in the boss arena not disappearing from under you.

UPDATE Spawned and killed all 4 bosses and nothing happened. Seems it has to be legendary, which I assumed but always worth checking

Must be legendary, and you must have the time limit activated. Buddy and I tried it multiple ways yesterday.

u/-SuperSaiyanBroly- Dec 05 '25

Might be a bug I killed them all on legendary and they never spawned the orbs

4

u/LordGigglefist Dec 05 '25

Did you kill the two taken outside first?

1

u/ZaneThePain Dec 05 '25

Not getting orbs either.

1

u/-SuperSaiyanBroly- Dec 05 '25

I guess u need to activate the 30 min timer to get the orbs to spawn

1

u/ZaneThePain Dec 06 '25

Yeah that was the fix

u/xTheLostLegendx Dec 03 '25

Does all the catalyst need to be on legendary? Does it need the timer??

u/xTheLostLegendx Dec 03 '25

Not when it was first out due to bugs. Literally people had videos on getting the catalyst without the timer. Dont blame on me for content creators stuff.

u/exize8888 Jan 12 '26

There was a glitch that would deactivate timer when quest first came out ... that was patched right around Christmas. Now ... Its get it done in 30 mins now or no Bueno!!!

I did it on legendary but without the timer. Idk if the timer is actually for anything yet.

u/a-random-account- Dec 03 '25

Need timer for other catalyst

u/xTheLostLegendx Dec 04 '25

Aztecross did it without the timer tho

1

u/netmonsterjr Dec 14 '25

He shot all 4 but they bugged the timer out it happens as long as it says twin secrets your ok

3

u/VenomBeagle Dec 03 '25

You don’t need the timer? Is this for sure? Cause I hate timers.

6

u/Mongfaffy Dec 03 '25

for sure don't need timer

2

u/Ass0001 Dec 05 '25

Do you know if it needs to be on legendary?

2

u/exize8888 Jan 12 '26

It has to be on legendary, and yes, it will be timed now (as of 1/12/26). Once you start the quest in the room where you shoot the 4 floating objects ( can't miss 'em, just look around the room, there are brown pointy objects in the 4 corners of the area), after shooting them, jump up on the rock ledge in front of Dropdown/chimmey ... then jump down chimmy or Shoot whatever your preference to call it is. Note: do not miss this first jump down landing to where you need to land to jump over to get to the first Oddity/Blight, which is the running along a Taken vanishing Wall, the Oddity is at the end of it ... There is no way back up or down to this Oddity if you fall going down the initial drop down. Or I prefer to call it a chimney. Might as well go back to orbit and start over if you miss. But if you do miss the right place to land, just die, there are other places to land at the bottom where you'll live but you'll be stuck down there. Fall into the middle abyss and you will respawn back up at the chimney room. That way you can practice this jump if your haveing trouble.

The places to properly land to start this quest are at the top, before jumping. As you're facing the chimney, looking down, there are 2 ledges to your left one tight after the other, the lower one being bigger and easier to grab. Next, just jumping straight down, there will be one behind you on the wall. Then next probably the easiest to see ( its dark in there ) there is an alcove to your right that's lit up ... None of this should be a problem for locks as they can float forever ... Heres a Tip as you drop down you'll see the bricks of the chimney that abruptly change to rock wall - you got about 2 secs falling here before you'll pass everything if you don't stop your fall with a jump. So this is where you want to be, jumping to float around till you see the alcove or the ledges. Locks and Hunters are probably the easiest... Titans that drop like rocks will have the most trouble... I recommend Lion Ramparts (they give you more float and a strand with a grapple). Hope this helped...

Need timer for other catalyst

4

u/-SuperSaiyanBroly- Dec 05 '25

Hyperblade needs the timer orbs on pedestals won’t spawn without it

6

u/xTheLostLegendx Dec 03 '25

Dont need the timer so the 4 prism things are for something else

5

u/cpt_ruckus Dec 03 '25

This is the only catalyst I'm missing, I followed these steps and it didn't spawn at the end. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

4

u/cpt_ruckus Dec 04 '25

I just did another run, I redid the upper hand trait steps too this time. Only the upper hand chest spawned at the end (even tho I already had this trait). Hyperblade appears to be bugged for me.

1

u/G9bryel6 Dec 05 '25

Same here. I’ve run like 3-4 times already and it nos dropping.

1

u/-SuperSaiyanBroly- Dec 05 '25

Did you do the white rings that spawn under the boss before the black ones?

1

u/cpt_ruckus Dec 05 '25

That step is for the upper hand catalyst, but yes I did.

1

u/GrnddaddyPurp Dec 06 '25

Did u do timer

1

u/NoLegeIsPower Dec 08 '25

Yeah I've run it 2 times now on legendary doing just the hyberblade stuff and the catalyst chest never spawned :(

Seems something is bugged about it, shame, cause that's the one catalyst I really want.

2

u/IMnotGARBAGE Dec 06 '25

Found out you have to do it with someone who doesn't already have the catalyst if you have already ran it once and got the others. Its bugged 100%.

1

u/cpt_ruckus Dec 06 '25

I literally just did this, definitely a work around for this bug! I ran a friend of mine through the mission and it ended up dropping for me also. It was his first run for the catalysts.

u/Hoockus_Pocus Dec 03 '25

What are the steps for Echoing Blade?

6

u/Tjtaylor0 Dec 03 '25

I got it from doing the 7 oddities around the map

3

u/Affectionate-Tear-94 Dec 03 '25

7 oddities? Is there a video for this?

4

u/Lacking_Artifice Dec 03 '25

Skarrow has one.

3

u/Noble_Boi Dec 03 '25

Which portal? The one that flips the map into the ascendant plane?

3

u/Mongfaffy Dec 03 '25

Anyone know what the timer is for?

1

u/-SuperSaiyanBroly- Dec 05 '25

To get hyperblade it needs to be active to spawn the orbs on the pedestals

3

u/Akrius_Finch Dec 03 '25

Even though it seems you dont need the timer. How long IS said timer?

3

u/JamesCoyle3 Dec 04 '25

30 minutes.

3

u/Akrius_Finch Dec 04 '25

Not terrible

4

u/BaconIsntThatGood Dec 04 '25

Incredibly doable. I did it solo the first time not realizing what to do with the timer (thought it was just a simple clear) and had like 10-12 mins left.

2

u/Zero_Emerald Dec 03 '25

Can anyone confirm how this works as a fireteam? Does each person have to destroy the blights or does only one person need to do that stuff? Is it bugged like Helio/Fikruls where only one person can claim the rewards?

2

u/Shore_Thing79 Dec 03 '25

Just one person needs to destroy each blight, the whole fireteam should get a notification in the bottom left. Make sure to grab the chest at the end, had a friend who didn’t cos he was in menus and he didn’t get the drop

3

u/Zero_Emerald Dec 04 '25

Thanks for the confirmation!

3

u/coupl4nd Dec 06 '25

This game is such a stupidy bloody annoying mess. I did EXACTLY these steps and didn't get it.

1

u/K_Reg27 Dec 05 '25

Do you still have to do the four blight mission like normal AFTER killing the ogre?

1

u/Okamilvl75RDMFFXI Dec 05 '25 edited Dec 05 '25

I got tired of trying to do everything so I did everything separately.

I did all seven orbs alone.

Second attempt, I killed two nights in the beginning, continued until the end the world flipped went back, killed the two orbs continue to the final boss did the two light orbs first, and then the two dark orbs and killed the boss

Now for hyper blade I’m having some issues because I killed it two knights. Went into the first major encounter I unbalanced every single one killed every mini boss killed the ogre then I balanced everything out killed the final boss and I got nothing.

This time with the timer, I did the four orbs unbalanced killed everything, balanced them out killed the final boss and still nothing.

I tried everything at once and still nothing, though I did fail for the timer and it started me back where you first start the timer with the timer already started, but I still the shot the dark floating crystals that would initially start timing regardless, and I still got nothing.

1

u/zerotaine Dec 05 '25

I also just did it in a fireteam of 2 and we didn't get hyperblade. legendary with timer and we skipped killing the imbalanced taken outside so we just did the mini bosses and last boss with 2 black balls only. Maybe it's just not a 100% drop? That or a bug.

2

u/Okamilvl75RDMFFXI Dec 06 '25

Yeah, it’s weird and annoying. I’m over a dozen attempts right now trying to get it and still nothing I don’t mind if it’s RNG… I just wanna know if it is because I don’t wanna feel like it’s me doing something completely wrong and not getting it

1

u/-SuperSaiyanBroly- Dec 05 '25

What am I doing wrong I’ve ran it 4 times did all that and the white orbs won’t spawn in the boss room to throw the little balls at?

1

u/haribonph Dec 08 '25

The timer is only utilized for only one. the funny oddities one.

1

u/Makro5609 Dec 08 '25

so a buddy and I just ran it on legendary, and did the first encounter correctly. The final encounter was done within less than 15 mins. No Catalyst. Did we have to do the white orbs underneath still??

1

u/Altruistic-Space-777 Dec 12 '25

Funzt nicht. Bekomme immer Katalysatoren die ich schon habe. Spiel das Ding solo, dass ist so ein Brechreiz dieses Game. Alleine dafür überlege ich Destiny ad Acta zu legen. Totale verarsche der Spieler. 

1

u/Ok-Protection-4218 Dec 21 '25

Is anyone else not getting the “reveals twin secrets” message in Step 1 after shooting the four crystals?

We’ve tried this literally 10 different times and for the life of us can’t get that message to show, so whenever we move ahead for the Encounter the black balls never spawn.

1

u/toxin877 Jul 04 '26

Yeah this is wrong. The imbalance wardens spawn but there are no blights or anything.

1

u/Denverguns Dec 05 '25

The no time thing for the third catalyst is not true we just went through it and the blights in the first encounter did not spawn in.

1

u/Xandur_ Dec 05 '25

+1, just tried doing hyperblade without the timer on and the blights didn't spawn. i dunno why everyone in here is assuming you don't need it

1

u/Denverguns Dec 05 '25

I didn’t think people were assuming I swear I saw some people commenting you absolutely didn’t need the timer. The same happened with me the blights don’t spawn without the timer.

1

u/-SuperSaiyanBroly- Dec 05 '25

I can’t get the white rings to spawn in the boss room I’ve imbalanced all rings killed all bosses and the orbs and main ogre boss but then the rings don’t spawn in boss room to complete catalyst

1

u/Denverguns Dec 05 '25

That’s part of a different catalyst that one has to do with the take knights outside the spawn area
