October 22, 2020October 22, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

Beyond Light is only three weeks away, and with the season winding down, it’s time for the standard wrap-up post! As always, you still have enough time to finish off everything that Season of Arrivals has to offer, but you’re cutting it close if you don’t get started now! That’s where this guide comes in.

I’ll be going over the various seasonal quests, Collections, and Triumphs in this post, and I’ll have links to my other posts for this season with more info on the activities themselves. Before you head off to Europa, let’s take one last tour around the Solar System as we know it and score some good rewards in the process.

A very spooky Festival of the Lost 2020 guide

October 8, 2020October 27, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

In a normal year, Festival of the Lost would be the holiday event for the fall season of Destiny 2, but in a year that’s been anything but normal, things have shifted around a bit. Due to the delay of Beyond Light to November 10th, Season of Arrivals has been extended, but just because the summer season is going on longer than normal doesn’t mean that the Festival has been canceled. Not even the invasion of the Pyramids will stop Guardians from gorging themselves on candy once again.

Festival of the Lost 2020 runs from October 6th through November 3rd, so there’s a full month to earn goodies and scare your friends. Read on to learn more about the return of the Haunted Forest, new rewards, and secrets.

Quick tip: Last chance to get these Crucible Triumphs

October 2, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

Another post about to-be-vaulted content, and this time we’re delving into the Crucible. Bungie has confirmed that several gametypes will be removed when Beyond Light launches, as well as a reorganization of generic Triumphs to act as more of a tutorial for new players. This means that a fairly sizable amount of Triumphs will be removed, as well as a particular cosmetic you might want to get while you have time.

Before we get into the Triumphs themselves, I’ll make a quick mention of resources you can use to help keep track of what you have left to do before November 10th.

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 Drifter guide: Gambit Prime, the Reckoning, and Zero Hour

September 10, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

My very long series of guides to past seasons moves right along into Destiny 2’s sixth season, Season of the Drifter. Focused primarily on the character of the Drifter (naturally), the second Annual Pass update, Joker’s Wild, introduced a new variant of Gambit, gave more characterization to the enigmatic Drifter, and added further details about the mysterious Nine. A lot of the story in this season was setting up for bigger story beats to come, so if it feels a little light on story, don’t worry, Bungie did get back to it soon enough (this season, in fact!).

This guide will briefly talk about the differences between Gambit and Gambit Prime, go over the Gambit Prime armor sets and how to acquire them from the Reckoning, and delve into a variety of quests added during the season, including a particularly fun secret mission. Time to be bad guys.

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.

A triumphant return: Solstice of Heroes 2020 guide

August 27, 2020August 31, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

We’re currently in the middle of the Solstice of Heroes holiday, which began on August 11th and runs through September 8th. This holiday coincides with the Moments of Triumph event to cap off Destiny 2’s third year, giving all Guardians an opportunity to acquire shiny new armor sets with special glows. It also sees the return of the European Aerial Zone, a repeatable three-player activity that can be farmed for a variety of loot.

This guide is a little late in getting out, but don’t worry, you still have plenty of time to complete everything that the event has to offer. All players can participate in Solstice of Heroes regardless of expansion or season pass ownership, so read on to find out how you can score some of that fancy armor.

Updated, 8/31/20: A couple clarifications added about Titan Solar melees and the armor glow objectives.

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.

Warmind guide: Campaign, quests, and Escalation Protocol

July 7, 2020July 8, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

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!
