An FAQ is also attached that answers most questions surrounding this new endgame PvE activity.
If you want to test your fireteam’s skills in Contest-level raids, this is the week to play.
This guide assumes you know how each raid encounter works.
If you have never raided before, we recommend checking out our raid guides onour Destiny 2 hub page.
What Is The Pantheon?
You’ll find the Pantheon node in the “Into the Light” node on the Director.
You’ll need to create a fireteam or use an LFG tool like Fireteam Finder to play this activity.
The activity is structured similarly to a Nightfall.
Complete the entire gauntlet, and you’ll be able to claim a raid Exotic from Arcite 99-40.
If you wipe at any point, you will have to restart the current encounter from the beginning.
Complete every boss fight in the gauntlet to finish the Pantheon run and Shaxx’s weekly quest.
The encounter doesn’t automatically fail if the timer expires, just the bonus points.Your timer doesnotreset between wipes.
Additionally, most Pantheon encounters spawn aWitness Conscript, a miniboss unit that awards bonus points when slain.
This enemy is usually a Tormentor and spawns after your fireteam completes a mechanic.
You will see the message “A Portent of the Witness Arrives…” when the miniboss spawns.
A Platinum scoreis needed to earn adept weapons.
This quest may only be turned in once, so choose wisely.
Be sure you’re ready to face the Witness with this in-depth preparation guide.
Also grants 25% DR while active.
Encounters
Taunt Golgoroth by shooting its back; destroy orbs hanging from the ceiling to create DPS pools.
Stun Caretaker; grab glyphs and shoot matching symbols to start DPS.
Move the mismatched planet (Light or Dark) to the opposite plate.
Destroy six Servitors, then use Scanner to deduce which Atraks to damage.
Atraks Sovereign is the first Pantheon gauntlet and is the easiest of the bunch.
Additionally, theClass Warfarebuff is active throughout the gauntlet.
You also gain a small DR buff while the buff is up.
Class Warfarestacks with empowered buffs, surge mods, and weapon perks.
Her health bar is quite small, so it’s possible to hit final stand with a single clone.
Stand on plates to reveal Torn players.
Torn players collect pieces of the Blightguard from floating platforms.
Oryx Exalted is the second Pantheon gauntlet available to players, and it’s slightly tougher than Atraks Sovereign.
This fight now includes Tormentors, more durable Knight enemies, and frequent Light-Eater Knight spawns.
Coordination is key to beating this encounter.
Light-Eater Spawns
A set of Light-Eater Knights spawn when a player becomes Torn.
it’s possible for you to bring a Hunter with Lucky Pants to ramp up this buff with ease.
Reach Rhulk’s throne and empower the totems to start DPS.
The Tormentor can easily be dealt with through debuffs like Suspend and Blind.
It cannot be destroyed.
Drawing Aggro
Rhulk’s clone seems to bias the top half of the arena.
Expect combat difficulty to be much harder, especially during Explicator and Atraks.
DPS strategies will need to shift slightly due to this Power deficiency.
Mark Riven’s glowing eyes for the opposite team to shoot.
Break all six eyes at the apex.
Empower each side with Light and Dark.
Taunt Nezarec by shooting their shoulders.
Nezarec Sublime is the longest and most difficult gauntlet in Pantheon.
You’ll see a symbol (like the first image above).
Call out that symbol.
Your team will call out two of Riven’s eyes.
But before you break her eye, you have a small window to damage Riven.
Damage her mouth until her eyes begin to glow, then break the eyes your team called out.
She will then retreat, activating the gravity lift behind your team.
Ascend a floor and repeat.
Riven Side
The second fireteam will immediately be attacked by Riven.
Repeat this until she gets staggered.
Riven will then open her eyelids and revealtwo glowing eyes.
Take the lift to the next floor and repeat.
This should deal more than enough damage to trigger her final phase.
Damage the heart to end the encounter.
A Tormentor also spawns just before the DPS phase begins.
Consider using Divinity along with precision weapons like Sleeper Simulant to kill them quickly.
Each side’s secondary runner can swap sides when needed to kill them.
For DPS, you might either run Swords or stick with explosive weapons like Rocket Launchers.
