Destiny 2 Ghosts of the Deep – Disrupting the Hive Ritual – First Encounter Guide
The Ghosts of the Deep Dungeon sees Destiny 2’s Guardians heading back to Titan and exploring the massive gulf that is the Archology. We never really got a chance to take a proper look around here before, so it’s a wonderful experience to get off the beaten path. The first encounter involves disrupting a Hive ritual, so prepare to take on the chitinous hordes who are really not in the mood for your shenanigans right now.
Ghosts of the Deep First Encounter Guide
The first piece of advice I can give here is that this will seem very confusing at first, but after a couple of cycles, you will quickly get the hang of it. Start by making your way down the path you spawn in on until you come to a massive door that is blocked by green Hive energy. All the main paths lead to this door, so you cannot miss it. You will notice two enemies near the door, and the encounter begins when you kill them, so prepare yourself for action. The entire time this encounter is ongoing, you’ll have groups of minor enemies that spawn in, so I am not going to mention them each time, just nuke them as they appear.
There is a full video of an entire loop that you need to complete to imbue a statue below if you think it might be more helpful to watch someone play it. The video is of a solo run of this section, so nothing happens offscreen that you can miss.
Now that you have finished the encounter, you can head through the large doors into the familiar interiors of Titan. There is quite a path to walk to get to the next encounter.
How to get to the second encounter
Walk in the main door and down the corridor. Take the right turn when you come to it and continue forward through the corridor until you come to another right turn. Inside will be a room with a very slow-spinning turbine. You will need to drop down a level and then look at the walls. One of the mesh walls will have a hole smashed through it. Jump up and through the hole, landing on a walkway to the left on the other side.
On the other side of the mesh, there will be an open tunnel on the right side. Head inside the tunnel and follow the path. There is only really one way to go, as you will need to follow a sequence of drops between platforms. The various platforms will have red doors on them, so keep on traveling down.
You will eventually come to corridors that are similar to the ones you walked into from the main door after the Hive Ritual and will eventually come to an area called Hallowfathom. You will eventually come to a large observation deck under the sea. Some enemies will spawn, but you can easily deal with them. This will allow you access to a large shaft that you can drop down. Keep on dropping down until you reach a part where you need to enter the water.
Now, this can be a little tricky, and you will need to be careful. You have to stay in the water for some time and will need to pick up bubbles, or you will die. Doing so will despawn the bubbles, and your Fireteam won’t be able to get them. As such, think carefully about which bubbles you grab.
Just keep on dropping down, going bubble to bubble, and you will eventually find yourself dropping down the outside of the building. Don’t get distracted and start exploring, as there is a good risk of death. Stick the outside until you reach the bottom, where you will find a large fan. Walk over it, and it will push you upward, back into the building. You just need to keep repeating this process, pushing forward through different environments until you get to the next area in the game.
