Warmind guide: Campaign, quests, and Escalation Protocol

My series of past season guides continue with Destiny 2’s second expansion, Warmind. Much better received than the short and sometimes tonally awkward Curse of Osiris, Warmind saw us return to Mars, although a different region than Destiny 1’s Meridian Bay. Instead, we traveled to Hellas Basin, a frozen region near the Red Planet’s ice cap, which mysteriously began to thaw in the aftermath of the Red War, unleashing a long-dormant threat.

This will be the last of the guides covering Destiny 2’s first year, and with it, I’ll have covered most of the content that will soon be vaulted. There’s still some more stuff that will be going away from year 2, so I intend on continuing these guides in the weeks to come. But for now, let’s delve into the ice and help out Rasputin!

The Almighty is destroyed! Get a free emblem to celebrate

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

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!

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.

Season of the Worthy intro: Questlines, Seraph activities, and progression

The latest season has kicked off with an assortment of new activities to engage with, as well as a seasonal progression system that will provide most players with a steady array of unlocks over time (assuming they haven’t gone crazy with farming and have already unlocked them all).

It’s a pretty large amount of stuff to take in all at once, but aspects of this should be familiar if you played last season. Read on for details about Season of the Worthy’s intro questlines, new activities, and other tips for the season.

Season of the Worthy preview: New story, activities, and loot

Now that Season of Dawn is coming to a close, Bungie has dropped the trailer and a fair amount of info for season 10, called Season of the Worthy. The Red Legion’s plans to use the Sundial to change the course of the Red War have failed, but they’re not giving up just yet. There’s always a plan B.

Unfortunately for us, the Cabal’s plan B is no less destructive. If they can’t conquer the system through conventional means, then they’ll just wipe out the Last City in one decisive blow.

If we’re going to stop them, we’re going to need to call on an unlikely ally, the only force in the system that’s powerful enough to repel the Red Legion’s desperate assault: Rasputin. Read on for details on the story, new PVE and PVP activities, and the new loot you’ll be able to acquire.
