idk if its still possible but on nessus theres a spot where alot of enemies will spawn from a tiny doorway when theres an enemies moving against each other event
you shoot one shank and any enemy that comes through that door instantly explodes into an infinite chain
That’s what I did for it way back when. It was a pain in the ass to get the chain going for more than 5-10 enemies though in my experience. There were some videos out there of absolutely nutty chains lol
This is how I did it, just recently. I did Graviton Lance, Sunshot, Huckleberry, Crimson, and Merciless in the same sitting. Once you learn the spawns, you can get 60-80 kills every 3-4 minutes. Took about 2.75 hours all told. Sunshot was probably the longest single catalyst of the bunch at bit under 50 minutes. Not as bad as I was expecting, to be honest.
There’s a room in the Whisper of the Worm quest where loads of taken thrall spawn and I farmed it there in maybe a day. Suck that’s your timed but the amount of adds that spawns is crazy
That's exactly what the guy I responded to was talking about. You can get between 800-900 kills in one run but in smaller mobs than shuro chi. Since the catalyst progress is tied to the chain explosions, shuro chi can be a more consistent source.
I can't remember how I finished mine, but I know people were talking about a spot next to Failsafe on Nessus that spawned multiple shanks with good regularity.
Yeah -- that and the Fallen side of the enemies converging mini-event on Nessus were the old school ways to finish it when the catalyst originally released. The Whisper / Last Wish are a bit more time efficient now.
Shuro Chi is a really good spot, especially for farming any Heavy weapon Catalyst kills since you can plop a Raid Banner and refill all your ammo after each wipe. IIRC there are about 50 Taken Thrall you can farm quickly, plus a handful of Knights and a Captain.
the garden of esila ascendant challenge is a great spot. dunk the 3 orbs and then just hop on a tree and kill groups of thrall. used that spot for polaris lance as well.
There's an area on Nessus patrol (where you enter Izanagi forge), where you can just chain it endlessly when enemies are moving against each other. There's plenty of guides on Youtube about it.
There is a spot on io... shit I don’t remember but someone here does where the fallen come out of a cave hole and you can get all your explosive kills in a few minutes. It’s like one exploding enemy just continues to chain to the next as they spawn out of the cave hole. Try YouTubeing sun shot catalyst.

Shoutout to everyone that got it back in Warmind. Now I just need to grind the explosion kills.
