'''Grandmaster Nightfalls''' are the final difficulty level for Nightfalls. They are selected from a separate node, though they share Weekly Challenge rewards with regular Nightfalls. Grandmaster Nightfalls become available 6 weeks into a Season after all of the seasonal Nightfalls have had a chance to be played. Completion of all the seasonal Grandmaster Nightfalls is required for the [[Conqueror]] [[Seal]], or to gild it. While normally one can only play the weekly Nightfall, players with the Conqueror seal have access to a "Catchup Node" that allows them to complete each Nightfall once outside of their chosen week.

On top of all the modifiers of Master difficulty, including no matchmaking, two modifiers are added, one of which is specific for that Nightfall. The Limited Revives and Extinguish modifiers are also applied. Players cannot Join In Progress for this activity. The minimum Power Level suggested is 40 above the Pinnacle Cap, but the Contest modifiers lower the player's level to 15 above the cap. Rewards include [[Exotic]] gear (common), [[Ascendant Shard]]s (common), and Adept Nightfall weapons (common), which can be only obtained from Grandmasters. You are also rewarded with a Nightfall [[Weapon Crafting#Mementos|Memento]] every time you complete a Grandmaster Nightfall.
