Curse of Osiris guide: Campaign, quests, and the Infinite Forge

June 29, 2020July 6, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

Continuing my series of guides on each release of Destiny 2, we move forward to season 2 with the Curse of Osiris expansion. Although widely considered one of the lower points of Destiny 2, if not the lowest, there’s still some good content to enjoy.

Pretty much everything that will be covered in this guide will be vaulted come Beyond Light, so if you want to experience any of it, you only have a couple more months to do so. Without further adieu, let’s head to the sun-scorched sands of Mercury and save Osiris from the Vex!

Destiny 2 base game guide: The Red War campaign, quests, and other content

June 24, 2020June 30, 2020 Immernaut3 Comments

With the news of various year 1 destinations entering the Destiny Content Vault this fall, a pretty sizable chunk of the game will also be going away, perhaps for good. To give you some guidance on what you should check out before it’s gone, I’m going to be writing up some guides on each release of the game, including campaigns, quests, activities, loot, and triumphs.

We’re starting all the way back at the beginning with Destiny 2’s launch. Released in September 2017, Destiny 2 brought a new campaign that started off by destroying a lot of what we knew and loved in Destiny 1. If you want to revisit the Red War and the initial appearance of the Red Legion, read on!

Season of Arrivals intro: Questlines, activities, and new reward systems

June 13, 2020June 17, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

The final season of Destiny 2’s third year has kicked off in a big way, with the Pyramid fleet entering the Solar System at last. First teased at the end of the Red War campaign, their slow and inexorable progress has led them here. But rather than find ourselves on the verge of a second Collapse, they seem to be calling out to us. What is their message, and what is their purpose?

This season brings a new public event, a weekly lore quest, and a new reward system similar to the Menagerie that lets you focus your rewards a bit more. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get to it.

Updated, 6/17/20: Contact moves to different zones. The Umbral Enhancement II perk has been fixed.

Destiny 2 reveal stream recap: new expansions, returning content, and the future

June 10, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

There was certainly a lot of reveals in this week’s stream, not only going over season 11 and the fall expansion, but also providing a taste of the next three years of the game. It was much more than I was expecting, that’s for sure.

Bungie laid out their vision for the future of Destiny 2, including some systems changes that are designed to help them support the game for years to come. It’s a lot to talk about, so let’s jump in.

The Almighty is destroyed! Get a free emblem to celebrate

June 6, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

I really should have put a post out yesterday, but being busy with other things I didn’t think about it in time. Oh well, I don’t think many people are watching this blog for Destiny announcements anyway, especially on such short notice.

In case you missed it, today marked the finale of Season of the Worthy, and despite the mixed reception of the season, it definitely went out with a bang. True, the season has a couple more days to go, but we’ve hit the conclusion of the story with the Almighty’s destruction, even if Rasputin was cutting it a little close. Thousands of Guardians, maybe even millions, flocked to the Tower to watch the fireworks.

Even if you missed the finale, you can still collect one final emblem this season to commemorate all the work you did in all those Seraph Towers public events. And if you skipped out on doing them and let others do them instead…well, you can still get it.

Season of the Worthy: Guide to Triumphs, Collections, and getting it all done in time

May 28, 2020October 20, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

With a little over a week to go until season 11 launches, it’s time once again for my seasonal guide to finishing up everything the season has to offer. How many times will I say season this time? Who knows?

I meant to get this out a little bit earlier, but there’s still time to finish up all the Triumphs if you’re willing to put in some effort. The format’s pretty similar since there’s not a whole lot of changes between seasons, so let’s dive in.

The Lie: Season 10’s community event now live!

May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

Now that the Guardian Games are over (congrats, fellow Titans), it’s time to get back to work. Remember that giant Cabal superweapon that’s still hurtling towards the City? Yeah, we should probably do something about that.

To go along with this, or maybe just to remind everyone what we’re supposed to be doing, Bungie has released a new quest tied to the season’s objectives. And similar to previous events like the Empyrean Foundation, this one is going to take a community effort to complete. Hope you’re not tired of Seraph Towers yet.

Updated, 5/13/20: Bungie has made tweaks to the public event to make the grind easier. Details in the section below.

Guardian Games 2020: Last-minute tips and retrospective

May 6, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

There’s still about a week to go in the Guardian Games, and it looks like the punchy boys have pulled off the win. As a Titan main myself, I’m obviously thrilled about that.

But regardless of who wins or loses, there are still rewards to acquire regardless of your class, and still time to complete some Triumphs and score a new exotic. So, with two weeks of the grind under my (golden) belt, here are some tips to help you in your grind, as well as my thoughts on the event.

Let the games begin: Guardian Games 2020 guide

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic might have pushed the Olympics back a year, but Destiny is safe from any disease-related delays.

Replacing the Revelry from last year, the Guardian Games pits all three classes against each other to determine which is the best, with bragging rights for the next year on the line.

Aside from that, there are new rewards and Triumphs to earn, as well as a shiny new exotic machine gun to acquire. The competition is on, so read on to find out how to help your class towards victory!

Iron Banner: New quest, new rewards, and Point of the Stag review

April 20, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

We’re in the middle of our second Iron Banner of season 10, and…not much has changed. It’s still the same power-enabled Control-with-a-twist that we’ve had since its revamp in Forsaken, the rewards are pretty much the same, and being wiped out by someone thirty power levels higher than yourself is as frustrating as ever. If you’ve given up on Iron Banner at this point, I don’t blame you (there’s a reason I haven’t touched Trials yet).

However, there are a couple of new rewards, as well as our only ritual weapon of the season: Point of the Stag, a bow with perks suitable for PVP. Apparently it was supposed to come out last season, but for whatever reason it got delayed until season 10.

If you want these new goodies, or if you want to spend your Iron Banner Tokens to get some of those new enhanced armor mods, you’ll have to do a quest. And that quest is going to be very familiar.
