Destiny 2’sInto the Light update has added the hardest PvE challenge to date. The Pantheon is an endgame activity where players must beat multiple raid bosses in a single play session, similar to a boss rush or boss gauntlet seen in other games. If you may beat the Pantheon, you’ll walk away with great rewards, including adept weapons and powerful raid Exotics.
But those who go above and beyond can earn the Godslayer title, one of Destiny 2’s hardest titles to date. You’ll need to prove your mastery over all modern raids and their mechanics. If you can manage that, you’ll walk away with one of the most prestigious titles in all of Destiny.
Extinction Averted
Extinction Averted:Complete all encounters in The Pantheon: Atraks Sovereign.
The Pantheon: Atraks Sovereign is thefirst Pantheon challengetied to this activity, and it’s the easiest of the bunch. This activity is set at a-5 Power Deltaand has Surges and Overcharge mechanics enabled, increasing your overall DPS when compared to a typical raid. Your fireteam must defeat the following bosses:
It’s best to bring Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers to this gauntlet. Their burst damage will make the first three fights much easier. For Atraks, we suggest you useParasiteorGrand Overture.Both weapons deal absurd burst DPS and can one-phase the boss if your team is well coordinated.
Checkmate
Checkmate:Complete all encounters in The Pantheon: Oryx Exalted.
Oryx Exalted is thesecond Pantheon challengethat is slightly harder than the last gauntlet, featuring a-10 Power deltaand a fifth boss fight. The boss composition includes:
Beyond the Power decrease, the major change is the inclusion of Oryx as the final boss.For Oryx specifically, long-range sustain DPS weapons are ideal.Whisper of the Worm,which was recently reissued with craftable perks, is excellent for this encounter. Detonate all four orbs, group up near the middle of the arena, and unleash as many Whisper shots as possible.
Cast Shadow
Cast Shadow:Complete all encounters in The Pantheon: Rhulk Indomitable.
Another week, another boss. Rhulk Indomitable is the third Pantheon challenge, set at a significant-15 Power deltaand yet another boss encounter. The Power deficiency is going to be quite noticeable at this stage, as it’s on par with Neomuna patrol and all Legend-tier content. Spec for damage resistance and survivability effects before attempting this.
As for the encounters, you’ll need to kill:
Rhulk is going to be a serious challenge for most teams. Effects like Woven Mail and x2 Restoration are required if you want to survive Rhulk’s attacks during the damage phase. As for DPS,use Rocket Launchers or Grenade Launchers.Rockets are preferable since there’s less risk of blowing yourself up, and Wolfpack Rounds from Gjallarhorn will track Rhulk automatically.
Deity Destroyed
Deity Destroyed:Complete all encounters in The Pantheon: Nezarec Sublime.
The fourth and final Pantheon challenge is Nezarec Sublime, featuring a-20 Power deltaandtwo additional bosses, not just one. Nezarec Sublime is easily the hardest challenge of the bunch and will be nigh-impossible for most LFG teams. Get a fireteam together that you may trust—this gauntlet will be brutal. You must kill a total ofeight bossesthroughout the run, all of whom will be at Contest Mode difficulty. Those bosses are:
Teams are going to seriously struggle withCaretaker, Atraks, and Riven. Caretaker has a brutal DPS check on each floor, Atraks' clones can kill unsuspecting Guardians with ease on Contest, and Riven is almost never done legitimately. There’s a good chance that Bungie changed Riven’s encounter to prevent one-floor cheesing. If they did, we highly recommend you create or grab a callout map of each floor and Riven’s eyes before you start.
Conquer The Crypt
Conquer the Crypt:Complete all encounters in The Pantheon: Atraks Sovereign with a high score.
This Triumph requires you toachieve a Platinum rating in all Atraks Sovereign encounters.Beat each encounter within the bonus time limit, and you’ll always achieve a Platinum score. This is only tricky with Caretaker since you need to damage them over three floors.If you can lower the Caretaker’s HP to the last 20%, you can skip a floor or two.This is easiest to do with Grenade Launchers andproper buff and debuff stacking.
Unseat The King
Unseat the King:Complete all encounters in The Pantheon: Oryx Exalted with a high score.
Similar to the last Triumph, you mustachieve a Platinum rating in all Oryx Exalted encounters.For Oryx specifically, you’ll only have enough time to get one DPS phase in, maybe two. Grenade Launchers will be needed here. Use Tractor Cannon or Shadowshot to inflict a 30% debuff, run three Surge mods that match your Grenade Launcher, and use a good damage perk like Bait and Switch to melt Oryx.
Double-Edged
Double-Edged:Complete all encounters in The Pantheon: Rhulk Indomitable with a high score.
Double-Edged requires you toearn a Platinum rating against every boss in Rhulk Indomitable.For the Rhulk fight, consider bringing Divinity and multiple Lucky Pants Hunters. Divinity will give Rhulk a massive weakpoint and constant 15% damage debuff, greatly increasing the burst DPS of Lucky Pants Hunters. This also makes Sniper Rifles a solid choice for backup DPS.
At The Zenith
At the Zenith:Complete all encounters in The Pantheon: Nezarec Sublime with a high score.
Once again, this Triumph requires that youearn a Platinum rating on all Nezarec Sublime encounters.Bear in mind that all of these score challenges track on a per-encounter basis, so you don’t need to hit Platinum consecutively throughout the run. If you miss one encounter, you can always retry later.
Nezarec shouldn’t give teams too much trouble since he has a small health pool. Riven will entirely depend on whether she can be cheesed. If so, use Behemoth Titans to quickly kill her on the first floor. If not, callouts are going to be key. No mistakes can be made, but you’ll have a much more relaxed DPS check since you’ll get to damage her Taken pimples while descending the tower.
Rising High
Rising High:Earn points across all encounters in The Pantheon.
Rising High tracks your Pantheon score across all successful attempts. You mustearn a cumulative score of 1,500,000to finish this Triumph. This is surprisingly easy to do if you can achieve a Platinum rating on each boss fight. We suggest farming The Pantheon: Atraks Sovereign to get this done quickly, as it’s the easiest boss gauntlet of the bunch.
Mountain’s Peak
Mountain’s Peak:Earn points across all encounters in The Pantheon.
Mountain’s Peak is the same as Rising High. You mustearn a cumulative score of 3,000,000across all Pantheon runs. A single Platinum clear of Atraks Sovereign should complete this Triumph for you. Find a team that meshes well with your playstyle, and optimize your damage rotation to hit the bonus timer.
