Dungeon “Duality”
The Dungeon “Duality” was the first of two Dungeons from Year 5 that came as extra content to the game. It offers cool weapons with unique aesthetics and includes a new mechanic with bells.
How to start the Dungeon: Players who purchased the exclusive Deluxe Edition of “The Witch Queen” including the additional Season Passes for Year 5 or bought the Dungeon separately in Eververse can accept the quest “A Single Thread” from Hawthorne in the Tower. The Dungeon can also be launched directly on the Moon later.
This Exotic awaits you in the Dungeon: In Bungie’s latest Dungeon, “Heartshadow,” including Catalyst, can be earned. There is no quest because the Exotic is a random drop. You can only increase your chance for the Void Sword by collecting 12 Calus Memories and completing other triumphs.
The exotic sword provides the following benefits:
- Shot into the Void: Continued invisibility grants this weapon higher damage for a short time.
- Exhumation: Heavy attacks with full sword energy make you invisible and fire explosive Void projectiles.
- Catalyst perk “Ghosting”: Faster movement while you’re invisible.
Andy Edition explains how to guarantee you get the Catalyst for the Exotic Sword.
These rewards await you in the Dungeon: In addition to the Exotic, several new and very unique weapons and “Deep Explorer” armors can be earned, as well as two old weapons from Calus’s Menagerie.
- “Creeping Horror” – Stasis one-shot grenade launcher.
- “New Purpose” – Stasis pulse rifle.
- “Stormchaser” – Arc linear fusion rifle.
- “Unforgiving” – Void machine pistol.
- “Fated Chances” – Solar machine gun (craftable).
- “The Gourmand” – Void fusion rifle (craftable).
Also with the “Deep Explorer” armor, there is a chance to receive it as “Artful Armor”. But only if you play the Dungeon on the “Grandmaster” difficulty.
What is the Dungeon about? Guardians must dive into the warlike ghost realms of the exiled Cabal Emperor Calus and conduct a daring thought theft to steal his darkest secrets.
If you don’t want to discover and puzzle through the Dungeon yourself, Andy Edition explains in this guide how it’s done:
Dungeon “Säule der Wächterin”
Season 19 revealed on December 9, 2022 for Guardians the new 3-player activity “Säule der Wächterin”. This is the second Dungeon from Year 5. It is not only very dusty but also has a Western theme regarding the loot. First, you go up to dizzying heights and then back down very deep. Just right for any gunslinger in Destiny 2 missing a cowboy hat.
In this Dungeon, Bungie has also come up with a new mechanic that uses nodes connected by cables.
How to start the Dungeon: Players who purchased the exclusive Deluxe Edition of “The Witch Queen” including the additional Season Passes for Year 5 or bought the Dungeons separately in Eververse can accept the quest “Ares Desperado” from Ikora in the Tower. You can find the Dungeon itself on your map in Savathun’s Throne World, right next to the Enclave.
What is the Dungeon about? You need to infiltrate a facility on Mars so that the Vex cannot prevent you from restoring the Warmind Rasputin. The Dungeon thematically ties into the content of Season 19. Guardians who take on the challenge can unlock the seal and title “Hunted”.
This Exotic awaits you in the Dungeon: In the Dungeon, you can earn the Exotic Bow “Hierarchy of Needs”. The drop rate of the Exotic can be increased as in the Dungeon “Duality” by completing certain triumph challenges.
The Catalyst for “Hierarchy of Needs” can be obtained from the “Grandmaster” difficulty. It seems this time there’s no specific task you need to complete for it.
The Exotic Bow provides the following benefits:
- Guiding Ring: Precise hits and kills build guiding ring energy. Opposing Guardians grant additional energy. At full charge, firing from the hip creates a guiding ring.
- Apollo Tangent: Arrows shot through a guiding ring unleash seeking projectiles that deal higher damage depending on the distance traveled.
- Catalyst perk “Protocol: Emergency Scramble”: Using a guiding ring or hitting a target with a seeking projectile improves draw time and reload speed for a short time.
These rewards await you in the Dungeon: In addition to the Exotic, there will also be a few legendary treats. This includes the “Moss, Earps and Cockburns Tailored Suit” armor styled in Western style, and four legendary weapons with wooden inlays as well as two old Seventh Seraph weapons. The weapons, as already seen in the Dungeon “Duality”, cannot be crafted.
- “Long Arm” – A 120 RPM Arc scout rifle.
- “Wild Flight” – A Void grenade launcher.
- “Horizon Outpost” – An Arc machine gun.
- “Threshold’s Watch” – A Stasis sidearm.
- “Seventh Seraph Carbine” – A 450 RPM kinetic auto rifle.
- “Seventh Seraph Officer’s Revolver” – A 180 RPM kinetic hand cannon.
With the “Moss, Earps and Cockburns Tailored Suit” armor, there is also a possibility of receiving it as “Artful Armor”. But only if you play the Dungeon on the “Grandmaster” difficulty.
In addition to the “Deep Explorer” armor, there is a chance to receive it as “Artful Armor”. But only if you play the Dungeon on the “Grandmaster” difficulty.
For all players who don’t want to discover and solve the Dungeon themselves, Andy Edition explains in this guide how the processes work. Additionally, there are again some fun pieces that you can find during your tour through the dizzyingly high tower, such as 2 hidden chests.
Dungeon “Geister der Tiefe”
In Season 21, on May 26, 2023, Bungie released the diving Dungeon “Geister der Tiefe”. New treasures await the brave, including a new armor set and a new exotic strand-fusion rifle.
How to start the Dungeon: Players can get instant access to this new Dungeon by purchasing the Lightfall Dungeon Key for 2,000 Silver or the “Lightfall + Annual Pass” edition, which includes a full year of Destiny 2 content. The quest for the Dungeon can then be taken at Hawthorne in the Tower. You’ll find the Dungeon marker in the Navigator at the H.E.L.M.
What is the Dungeon about? The Dungeon challenges Guardians to dive into the depths of Titan’s Methane Sea to face the Radiant Hive and learn what was lost in the waves.
There, a necromantic servant of Xivu Arath, the last living goddess of the Hive (War), and sister of Savathûn and Oryx awaits them. She plans to bring back something great, and Guardians must prevent that at all costs.
This Exotic awaits you in the Dungeon: Earn the exotic strand-fusion rifle “The Navigator” in the Dungeon. You also have the option of a catalyst.
To obtain the catalyst for “The Navigator”, it is not necessary to play the Dungeon on Grandmaster difficulty. You just need to complete a task and defeat a special boss in the Dungeon.
- Go to where the first “Memory” is hidden and enter a side room.
- Leave the Methane Sea, and behind the last door is a pile of dead ghosts – interact with it.
- Then look for the Hive statue near the central column that holds the large round platform. Upon interaction, a Hive enemy and a secret boss will appear.
- Defeat this special boss and complete the Dungeon. At the end, the catalyst drops from the final chest.
To make finding it easier, you can watch the exact path in this video by Lucky10PP:
Additionally, if you don’t yet have the exotic and are helping teammates complete the catalyst, a message will appear indicating that the drop rate for the exotic has increased. Moreover, you will receive additional loot from the catalyst chest.
The exotic fusion rifle offers you the following benefits:
- “Shot and Cut”: Causing sustained damage tears the target apart.
- “Protective Weave”: When shot at an ally with this weapon, both the shooter and the target receive “Woven Armor”.
These rewards await you in the Dungeon:
- “Cold Comfort” – Stasis rocket launcher with aggressive frame.
- “New Pacific Epitaph” – Stasis grenade launcher with waveform.
- “Oiled Luck” – Solar glaive with rapid-firing housing.
- “No Survivors” – Aggressive Solar machine pistol.
- The base perk of the “Geister der Tiefe” Dungeon weapons has the following advantage:
- “Rebuild Ritual”: Reviving allies or defeating fighters with finishers reloads this weapon and prepares an emergency reload for the next time this weapon has no ammo.
These armors are available in the Dungeon: Along with the exotic, there will also be a Dungeon-inspired armor set for all classes. This time it’s called “Possessed King’s” armor. Additionally, you can earn the title “Ghoul”.
Guides and Secrets: For all players who do not want to discover and solve the Dungeon themselves, Nexxoss Gaming explains in this guide how the processes work.
As always, there are also a few finds in the Dungeon “Geister der Tiefe” that you can discover during your tour through the depths of the Methane Sea, such as 2 hidden chests and memories.
We’ll attach the explanation videos by Esoterickk and IPhiniX for this.
On the next page, you will find all information about the Dungeon “Ruin of the Warlord”.
