Guardians seeking to fully master the Exotic bow Slayer's Fang must venture into the secrets hidden within Destiny 2's Kell's Fall mission on Expert difficulty. Beyond the initial challenge lies a path to powerful catalyst perks, unlocked by locating and destroying twelve elusive illusory anchors scattered across the mirror realm. These translucent, Hive Shrieker shell-like objects only manifest after completing the mission at least once and tackling it again on its more demanding Expert setting. Acquiring the catalyst quests themselves is the crucial first step: Guardians must speak with Eido in the Last City after their initial Kell's Fall completion. She provides four distinct quests, each requiring the elimination of twenty enemies while a Tonic buff is active and the discovery and destruction of three specific illusory anchors using Slayer's Fang. Successfully breaking a full set of three anchors within a designated encounter area and then completing the entire Expert mission rewards the corresponding catalyst, significantly enhancing the bow's capabilities.

Spotting these anchors requires vigilance. They appear as faint, closed, translucent structures resembling Hive technology, often tucked into corners, near doorways, or floating beside environmental features. Each major encounter zone within Kell's Fall houses one set of three anchors, directly tied to unlocking a specific catalyst perk for Slayer's Fang. Using the bow itself is mandatory to shatter these illusions. Guardians should methodically explore each area after entering the mirror plane, paying close attention to seemingly empty spaces near walls, statues, and key landmarks.

🔍 Illusory Anchor Set #1: Mirror Gallery (Repulsor Brace Catalyst)

The first trio of anchors awaits in the Mirror Gallery, the initial mirror realm section encountered early in Kell's Fall.

1. Location: From the initial mirror entry point, turn left down the hallway and proceed to the dead end. The anchor floats beside the locked door.

2. Location: Turn around from the first anchor and follow the corridor until it terminates. The second anchor is positioned next to a door at this end.

3. Location: Enter the subsequent room featuring overgrown branches. Face the door directly opposite the location of the second anchor. Approach this door closely to reveal the third anchor hovering nearby.

Destroying all three anchors in the Mirror Gallery and finishing the Expert mission unlocks the Repulsor Brace catalyst. This perk provides a Void overshield upon defeating a Void-debuffed target, enhancing survivability in close-quarters combat.

🧨 Illusory Anchor Set #2: Fighting Pit (Loose Change Catalyst)

The Mad Bomber encounter within the Fighting Pit holds the second set of anchors.

1. Location: Immediately upon entering the mirror realm for this encounter, look directly at the center of the room. The anchor floats above the central plate.

2. Location: Move to the right side of the room. Ascend the stairs and locate the anchor floating adjacent to a table.

3. Location: Near the room's entrance point, find a statue. The anchor hovers on the wall close to this statue.

Breaking these anchors and completing the Expert run awards the Loose Change catalyst. This perk grants increased reload speed and handling for a short duration after picking up Special or Heavy ammo, perfect for maintaining momentum during intense firefights.

🧠 Illusory Anchor Set #3: Sanctum (Stats for All Catalyst)

The Mindbender encounter, situated in the Sanctum, is home to the third catalyst's anchors.

1. Location: As soon as you step through the mirror portal into this section, turn around. The anchor is floating directly behind the portal.

2. Location: Proceed into the main Mindbender boss arena. Once inside, turn to your right. The anchor will be visible next to a table.

3. Location: Identify the hole at the far end of the room opposite your entry. Slide under this hole, then run towards the corner of the corridor where a brazier spawn point is located. The anchor floats in front of some stacked crates in this area.

Shatter all three Sanctum anchors and conquer Kell's Fall on Expert to obtain the Stats for All catalyst. This perk boosts handling, stability, reload speed, and aim assist when three or more targets are hit within a single shot, making the bow exceptionally effective against groups.

👑 Illusory Anchor Set #4: Revenant Plane (Cascade Point Catalyst)

The final confrontation within the Revenant Plane conceals the last set of anchors needed for Slayer's Fang's ultimate catalyst.

1. Location: Upon entering the mirror realm for the final encounter, look straight ahead towards Mara Sov's throne. The anchor floats prominently in front of it.

2. Location: Turn completely around from the throne. Head to the corner on your left. The anchor hovers beside the head of a large statue.

3. Location: Position yourself facing the exit portal back from the mirror realm. Turn around 180 degrees and run up the stairs behind you. Once at the top, look immediately to your right; the anchor floats next to another statue.

Destroying these final three illusions and then defeating Fikrul, the Fanatic, on Expert difficulty secures the Cascade Point catalyst. This powerful perk drastically increases the weapon's rate of fire for a short time after landing rapid precision hits or rapidly defeating targets with other weapons, allowing Slayer's Fang to unleash a devastating barrage when it matters most. Mastering the hunt for these illusory anchors is the definitive path to unlocking the Slayer's Fang's true potential within the evolving challenges Guardians face in 2025.
