Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted is here, and that means it’s time to grind for new Titles. In this article, we will help you to trigger the event and complete the At The Behest of the Empress Triumph in Destiny 2 Season 17.

How to Get At the Behest of the Empress Triumph in Destiny 2

At the Behest of the Empress is a part of the A Guardian is a Guardian, Even in a Nightmare Triumph, where you’re tasked with defeating Calus Loyalists onboard the Derelict Leviathan. For this particular Triumph, you’ll have to defeat two particular enemies: Au’gor, Devoted of Calus and Jai’ek, Supplicant of Calus.

On the Derelict Leviathan, defeat a troublesome Loyalist commander.

If you’re wondering how this event starts (like many other Guardians as well), you’ll have to wait until you see a text on the bottom-left side of your screen that reads “Empress Caitatl offers support against an approaching threat” pops up and the sky turns dark. Then you can look around for a Caiatl icon on the side of the baths to summon reinforcements by holding the E key/Square/X. You might need them because Au’gor and Jai’ek are at 1,600 Light levels.

Some Destiny 2 players said that you don’t have to call the reinforcement to trigger the At the Behest of the Empress event though, as long as you see and defeat the Cabal and Scorn bosses, it should be enough to unlock the Triumph. But if you feel like the message/sky going dark event takes a long time to show up, don’t worry, it’s really not just you.

Afterward, complete the three other Triumphs to complete the A Guardian is a Guardian, Even in a Nightmare Triumph.

Exile Ended: Kill a Loyalist commander and release its prisoner.
Battle Lines: Kill a Loyalist force defending its territory.
Shared Fears: Kill Cek’ik, Seeker of the Deep.
