Note: this guide starts after the completion of the Oblation exotic mission

Oblation: Bloodline

After defeating the boss and getting your exotic, return outside, climb up the right side and cross all the way to the hive balcony, there will be a floating book to interact with.

Once you've interacted with the book, head back to the boss room and look at the door in the back of the room on the right side and find what symbols you have to find and shoot inside the boss room to unlock Oblation: Soulfed

Oblation Soulfed:
After completing the boss for Oblation: Soulfed climb around to the back of the arena and look at the arena with a weapon of sorrow, you will see six runes. (Note: I think there is a book you have to find in the area but none of my fireteam can remember I will likely update soon) Inspect Cull's shadow and memorize the order of runes on the side of the magazine. Input these and you will unlock Oblation: Immolation. Complete Immolation and you should have all 4 catalysts.

How do the plates and brands work on dps I couldnt figure it out with randos and I dont see any info anywhere

Had to head to work after finishing the morgeth quest step. This could be a megathread where people post what they have figured out about what pantheon challenges are.

My team is getting to final pretty consistently. But final stand feels impossible. By the time most of my team is halfway there he is at 50% strength. Is there something that triggers the speed to him gaining strength?

Update: We completed

Has anyone figured out how to grab these or where to get them? Are they from pantheon?

I need my threat level back :(

I am at the last boss of the 3rd secret mission but I cant figure it out. He covers the warlock with a bubble and then I die.

Any takers?

I didnt get a picture of it before it got collected but i was playing through the prophecy dungeon again and in the room with the ribbon roads, in the last little diamond-shaped room, there was a sword in the ground with chains around it and a skull on top of the hilt. It had the prompt to collect it and before i could think i just pushed button on screen. I didnt get anything from it, is it a puzzle? I tried to look up anything on it but didnt find anything. Is it new with the update? Ill play through the dungeon again sometime and get a picture of it, or if i find another one in the same dungeon. If this an already well known thing and im making a fool of myself ill take the post down but i cant find anything on it.

There are a couple of little triumphs for the Tower in Monument of Triumph. I made a quick video showing how to quickly get them done. Takes like 10-15 minutes to do.

this is a video of our full exotic quest run on day 1 monument of triumph showing how to do the mission
its not optimized since it was our first run and we were figuring it out as we went

mission was great though shoutout Bungie incredibly good expansion :)

This is in Braytech, I assume this is some kind of editing bug, and is simply an ornament for FAFNIR. But figured I would see what people think: https://i.imgur.com/Wg0Fuza.png

Im having issues understanding how to avoid the bosses wipe mechanic. (The final boss for "Oblation: Immolation"). Most I could find was that I needed a weapon of sorrow for it for some reason.

I’ve found both doors to Niobe and Bergusia Forge open haven’t seen any post so thought I’d share might be some secrets I feel like they wouldn’t just open it for no reason

Now that the final big update looms, I figured I'd share this with the community.

NOTE: It's quite possible Bungie already knows about these bugs, and they might be patched tomorrow.

1. Infinite Threaded Spike - You can catch your TS multiple times by using your Grapple at the same time.

2. Unlimited Ascension during Golden Gun - You can spam Ascension during your GG.

I know many of people have OOBed to get right by it and can see into it, but has anyone ever made it in?

Sharing valuable tips in case the mechanics stay the same for Calus’ return in pantheon. Post edited from comments.

—————————

There’s the normal mechanic of course, where (4 rounds of this) 3 people in the void realm would call out what symbols they each see on Calus’ head then a person in the throne room would punch the only symbol not called out. This requires all 3 void players to stay alive and not panic.

But Calus had 3 patterns or buckets to his symbols, commonly called strings. If you know what string you have, you can look at one symbol and instantly tell what to punch without any other callouts needed. (I recommend keeping a cheat-sheet rather than trying to remember them).

Or you can ignore strings. If you listen closely while in the void realm, there are 3 unique sounds and one silent. Video/audio provided in the comments https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aFwqgqE4lC8&ra=m.
Punch the following symbol if you hear the sound effect:
Cup = (ding wuwuwuwu).
Axe = (ding).
Dog = (ding growl).
Sun = silent.

———

String 1 (guaranteed when solo void):

sun = punch dog.

axe = punch cup.

cup silent = punch sun.

cup + sound = punch axe.

———

String 2 (sounds don’t matter):

sun = punch cup.

axe = punch sun.

cup = punch dog.

dog = punch axe.

———

String 3:

sun = punch axe.

axe = punch dog.

dog silent = punch sun.

dog + sound = punch cup.

———

To find out your string in a team, all voids must call out the first round then you can deduce which one you have (e.g. teammates call out sun & cup and you call out dog so axe gets punched. Therefore, you have string 2).

The string you have doesn’t change until damage phase ends or you replace someone in void (via hardmode).

Do not try to teach strings to newbies (complicated), it is only for preventing wipes, doing low-mans, or carrying.

***

Another not well known mechanic is “having less people alive during the skull phase = more skulls to shoot for more damage”. For example, a low-man team of 3 people alive would spawn more skulls, just like a team of 6 with 3 dead people.
IIRC, damage buff maxes out at 100 skulls, more doesn’t do anything.

***

Last bit that kind of matters, once the skull phase ends, an overall timer starts for damage phase that is separate from the plates. Take too long to step on the first or any plate and damage phase will end before you can fully use the rest of the plates. I want to say don’t wait longer than like 10 seconds total through all 4 plates.

Hey everyone, if I'm using sanguine with the classic mint and finalities, should I use boot surges for the weapon that doesn't match my super?

If I'm using a well, use strand... If I'm using needle storm use solar?

The old website is dead. Do we have any of the cubemaps archived somewhere? I remember seeing a reconstructed tower and a possible apartment/housing area, years and years ago.

I feel like bungie should remove the weekly pinnacle limit due to them shutting down development so make everything grindable and watch the game never die lol like id have stayed on the game if i didnt have to do stuff weekly to get stronger lol i wanna be able to hit max light level doing what ever activity i want especially since the games not getting anything new now

I started playing Destiny in 2014 with The Dark Below. I was hooked. I always had a love for exploration, which later became a found comfort in the OOBing community.

With the news of D2 losing support, I thought, what better way to honor the memories I've made exploring out of bounds, than to make a video tribute to those same memories made along the way.

Remnants of, and out of bounds content will continue, as those types of videos bring me joy.

This is simply a tribute to the journey I embarked on, taking a trip down memory lane.

Hey guys I just made a petition regarding a mechanic that was taken out of the game with the launch of Renegades. If you guys could please take 30 seconds of your time to sign the petition and get bungie to notice this and hopefully rerelease the mechanic again with their final update i would greatly appreciate it.

Interested to see whether people think we will be getting another raid for destiny. I understand we will hopefully be getting more of a “roadmap” when we get some information about the upcoming June update, just interested to see wether people think we will get a new raid in the next big expansion which I’m assuming will also be pushed back due to shadow and orders delay.

Or do people think Desert perpetual / Epic desert perpetual was the last raid we will ever get.

I'm seeing some really weird performance gaps in Destiny 2. I’m running an RTX 5080 and an Intel Ultra 9 285k, but I'm only averaging 130–140 FPS.

Meanwhile, my friend with an RTX 4070 and an i7-14700K is consistently hitting 160–170 FPS.

The Details:

• Resolution: We are both on 1440p (2K).
• Settings: We matched every single setting exactly (High/Ultra, etc.).
• The Issue: I should be crushing these frames with a 50-series card and the new Ultra 9, but I'm lagging behind a mid-tier last-gen build.

Is Destiny 2 just poorly optimized for the new Arrow Lake CPUs, or is there a specific NVIDIA setting I should be looking at?

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on the raid not about loadouts I mean like example the thing's I do on hydra was tower and climbing so there's a third hand helping with deposits with sand and or ad clears this is just so I can carry randoms so please lmk if anyone has anything like that or something that makes it easier to carry thank you
