Season of Opulence guide: The Menagerie, the Tribute Hall, and Crown of Sorrow

September 16, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

The final season of Destiny 2’s second year, and the last one to have content that will be going into the DCV this year, season 7 marked the Season of Opulence. Guardians returned once again to the Leviathan at the invitation of Emperor Calus, who wished to shower us with gifts and get us to stand by his side when the Darkness returned. He also had a couple problems onboard that needed to be dealt with, but at least you’d get rewarded for it.

This guide will cover all of season 7’s content, including the Menagerie, the Tribute Hall, and the Crown of Sorrow raid, as well as the Chalice of Opulence and exotic quests. There’s a fair amount to cover, so let’s head back to the Leviathan one more time.

Season of the Forge guide: Black Armory weapons, secrets, and Scourge of the Past

September 5, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

My series of guides for every season of Destiny 2 continues with season 5, the Season of the Forge. This season brought the Black Armory into the game, a group of weapon manufacturers from the Golden Age, led by the mysterious Ada-1. Through a series of quests, Guardians helped her reclaim the lost Forges, crafting new weapons in the process. The story also led to a ruined section of the Last City, where Fallen pirates were attempting to break into a vault of Black Armory secrets.

This guide will cover the Forge activities, weapon crafting, exotic quests, secrets, and the Scourge of the Past raid. Without further adieu, let’s start by meeting the Exo herself.

Forsaken guide, part 2: The Shattered Throne, Last Wish, and Triumphs

August 25, 2020September 5, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

Welcome to part 2 of my sprawling Forsaken guide, covering everything else left in the expansion. We’ll delve into Destiny’s first dungeon, slay an Ahamkara, and talk about all manner of Triumphs and Collections and Seals, as well as a few exotic quests along the way.

It’s time to return to the Dreaming City to both start and end the curse. Time loops are weird.

Update, 9/5/20: Added the Eva’s Journey lore book.

Moments of Triumph 2020 guide: New title, rewards, and unlimited raid drops

July 8, 2020October 11, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

Capping off the third year of Destiny 2 is the annual Moments of Triumph event, lasting from Bungie Day (July 7th) until the launch of Beyond Light on September 22nd. This event allows Guardians to commemorate their accomplishments over the past year, as well as score some exclusive new rewards to add to their collection.

On top of that, Bungie is making it easier than ever for those who are still chasing down rewards from raids that will be vaulted in September by lifting the loot lockout for the rest of the season, as well as providing some alternate pathways to earning some sought-after rewards. If you’re still missing Anarchy or Tarrabah, or if the Luxurious Toast emote continues to elude your grasp, you should have no trouble getting these rewards over the next couple months.

Although the event begins today, the Triumph Seal and associated title will not be able to be completed until the Solstice of Heroes event launches on August 11th. This guide will be updated with the relevant Triumphs when that event begins.

Updated, 10/11/20: Overdue clarifications on a couple Triumphs and the MMXX seal.

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!
