Destiny 2: Rite Of The Nine - All Dungeon Changes

The Rite of the Nine event in Destiny 2 has refreshed three of the game's older raids with new mechanics and rewards, including a new title. Similar to the Pantheon activity from the year of Lightfall, Rite of the Nine makes some major changes to each dungeon it's reprised.

From new encounter mechanics to elective difficulty options, this event has made dungeon farming accessible to New Lights and veteran Guardians alike. Today, we'll be explaining every notable dungeon change that came with Rite of the Nine, covering some general changes with this event and per-encounter breakdowns for each updated dungeon.

General Dungeon Changes

The first major change you'll notice with Rite of the Nine is the addition of elective difficulty options. Every updated dungeon—Spire of the Watcher, Ghosts of the Deep, and Prophecy—includes three difficulty variants:

• Explorer: Turns dungeons into a lengthy Strike. Includes matchmaking, reduces enemy difficulty, and explains mechanics through in-game prompts.
• Eternity: Standard dungeon experience. No matchmaking, and banes are present on some enemies.
• Ultimatum: Contest Mode experience. No matchmaking, Power Level is clamped at -20, and enemies have multiple modifiers that make them tougher.
  • This is the only mode that can drop Adept-quality dungeon loot.

Explorer is tailored for less experienced players who haven't experienced Destiny 2's PvE endgame, while Ultimatum is tailored for players who prefer a challenge. Most Triumphs and the event's currency, Nonary Manifolds , can be obtained on any difficulty. Additionally, weapons that drop from encounters can drop with multiple perks if your team avoids dying. The fewer deaths you achieve, the more perks you'll receive on any guns that drop.

Spire Of The Watcher Changes

Opening Section

• Amphion, Awakened Mind now spawns once all four circuits are complete. This is a boss-tier Hydra with a fairly small health pool. Destroy it to complete the encounter.

  • Bosses include a Harpy trio, a Hydra, and a Minotaur.

  • Failing this mechanic will reset a circuit.

• Ultimatum Only: Akelous enrages after three DPS phases.

Persys, Primordial Ruins

• Circuits must be charged in a specific order, as with the last encounter.
