Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph: Prep Guide

The Monument of Triumph is Destiny 2's final major live-service update. Not a shutdown: a send-off. The game stays live indefinitely. Active development stops. Everything inside this update is permanent, so there's no ticking clock forcing you to play like a lab rat.

The core loop is dead simple: complete Triumphs across the game's entire history, earn Legendary Marks, spend them at four Tenet vendors in the Tower Courtyard. Bravery, Devotion, Sacrifice, and Death. Whatever naming consultant came up with that clearly peaked in the first meeting.

Day-One Login

Every Guardian who logs in at launch receives 50 Legendary Marks, 2 Bright Engrams, and the Toast to the Monument emblem automatically. Collect it before doing anything else. It costs you exactly nothing.

Prep Checklist

Before diving into the new reward pool, do these first. The game rewards the mildly organized.

• Log in at launch: claim free 50 Legendary Marks, 2 Bright Engrams, Toast to the Monument emblem
• Visit the Tower and interact with the Monument of Triumph object to start the introductory quest
• Make your first purchase at the Tenet of Bravery vendor: required to unlock the other three
• Check your Triumphs tab: anything close to completion is free Legendary Marks waiting to happen
• Verify vault space: capacity expanded to 1,300 slots (from 1,000). You have room now. Use it poorly.
• Check loadout slots: expanded to 20. Build your endgame sets before running content
• If you want the Immortal Title, you must earn it by September 30, 2026, for the physical shirt reward
• Legacy players: check eligibility for the Old Lights emblem and Elemental Qi emote

Legendary Marks: The Currency That Matters

Legendary Marks are back. You earn them by completing Monument of Triumph Triumphs: which cover the game's entire nine-year history. Raids, dungeons, PvP, destinations, Gambit, events. Completing a broad enough spread also unlocks a new Title and a unique armor ornament set. The Marks have no expiry. Stack them calmly.

Tenet Vendors: What They Sell

Locked Rewards

Chatterwhite, Superblack, Einherjar Coronet, and the Immortal Legend Armor Ornament Set all require specific Triumph completions before you can purchase them. Check requirements before assuming Marks are the only barrier.

Activities Worth Your Time

Monument of Triumph adds and restores a range of content. Here is what actually matters for preparation.

Pantheon 2.0

A permanent boss-rush endgame activity returning with new encounters, multiple difficulty tiers, and weekly Tier 5 drops. Three modes available: Adventure (no Power cap, unlimited revives: for humans), Standard (weekly Tier 5 drops), and Custom (Feats enabled, extra drops, highest reward ceiling). A third full-gauntlet activity unlocks June 13. If you want best-in-slot gear, Pantheon 2.0 is your farm.

Sparrow Racing League

SRL returns permanently: not as a seasonal rotation. Classic Destiny 1 tracks plus one new race space. Dedicated weapons, armor sets with bonuses, cosmetics, and horns are all earnable. The Sparrow Racing League return is a Tenet vendor reward category in its own right. An SRL jacket from Bungie Store is also arriving later in June for those who care about real-life cosmetics.

Raids and Dungeons

All pre-Monument raids and dungeons have been updated with fully tiered weapons and armor, new perks, set bonuses, and Tier parity. Weekly featured rotations cycle through them. Spoils of Conquest can be used for gear rerolls at vendors at the end of multi-boss activities. Note: Armor 3.0 versions of older raid pieces may not support legacy raid mod slots: test before committing resources.

Distorted Destinations

Distorted Destinations bring refreshed patrol rewards and higher-tier loot to open-world areas. Not endgame, but efficient for casual Triumph completion and Legendary Mark accumulation without organizing a fireteam.

Crucible, Trials, Iron Banner, Gambit

Legacy activity nodes have been reorganized under Crucible Ops and Fireteam Ops hubs. Featured modes rotate. Nightfall nodes are deprecated; all Vanguard content now lives in the Fireteam Ops hub. Trials and Iron Banner continue as-is. None of this requires prep: just know where things moved.

The Triumphant Rewards Pass: included automatically for Renegades, Year of Prophecy, and Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition owners: has no end date. Free and premium rewards continue post-launch. The Eververse Bright Dust inventory now refreshes daily instead of weekly. Below is a shortlist of returning cosmetics worth targeting early.

• Chatterwhite: requires specific Triumph completion before purchase
• Superblack: available at Tenet vendors for Legendary Marks
• Gryphon: returning shader, available via Marks
• All Star Vector Skimmer: returning vehicle cosmetic
• Fafnir: new addition to the reward pool
• Heir Apparent: available through Tenet vendor system
• Holochip: first-ever earnable Holochip in the game
• Universal helmet ornaments: 12 per class, available via Marks
• Event gear engrams: Festival of the Lost, Dawning, Guardian Games, Solstice cosmetics available for infinite purchase
