Destiny 2’s Leviathan raid guide is a sprawling, challenging, occasionally maddening adventure. In Polygon’s Leviathan raid guide, we’ll walk you through every encounter from the Castellum, to the Royal Pools, the Pleasure Gardens, the Gauntlet and, of course, your big fight with Emperor Calus. Be sure to check out our loadout guides, too, so you can equip the best armor, weapons and exotics for the raid.

Castellum

The Castellum is like puzzle, forcing you and your teammates to split up and gather standards. Check out our Castellum walkthrough for strategies.

Royal Pools

Pleasure Gardens

The Pleasure Gardens is a lush jungle filled with Cabal War Beasts and dogs. Read our Pleasure Gardens walkthrough for strategies and a map, and be sure to check out our loadout guide, so you can equip the best armor, weapons and exotics for the Pleasure Gardens.

The Gauntlet

The Gauntlet is a large, circular room with pillars, doors and a central hub. The Gauntlet mixes the perfectionist aspect of the Royal Pools and the communication aspect of the Pleasure Gardens, although less is required of each.

Emperor Calus
