The First and Last Cabal Raid: The Leviathan
Opulence, gold, and greed. Who could embody that better than the Leviathan raid of Destiny 2? The first and, as it seems, last Cabal raid led Guardians onto the grand, golden ship of the fallen Cabal Emperor Calus.
They had to do his dirty work, entertain him, and eliminate pests lurking in the underbelly of his ship. The raids on the Leviathan offered a lot of variety, not only from the perspective of the tasks but also for the eyes.
