Destiny 2‘s Into the Light update features Pantheon, a whole new PvE activity that throws you into the ring with various Raid bosses. Every week, a new difficulty will become available, and you’ll need to take on more bosses than the week before to move ahead, until you reach the last week and you will need to take on all eight Raid bosses back to back. The challenge is pretty great, but the rewards are even greater. Let’s take a look at everything there is to know about Pantheon in Destiny 2, including encounters, loot tables, rewards, and even each specific encounter.
Pantheon Boss Rotation and Loot Table
Over the course of four weeks, four different difficulty modes will be available to complete, along with a total of 8 boss encounters.
Week | Difficulty Mode | Bosses | Active Modifiers | Power Level |
April 30th | Atraks Sovereign | 4 | Void Surge Strand Surge Class Warfare | -5 Power |
May 7th | Oryx Exalted | 5 | TBD | -10 Power |
May 14th | Rhulk Indomitable | 6 | TBD | -15 Power |
May 21st | Nezarec Sublime | 8 | TBD | -20 Power |
In order, these are the raid boss encounters:
- Golgoroth (King’s Fall)
- Caretaker (Vow of the Disciple)
- Macrocosm (Root of Nightmares)
- Atraks-1 (Deep Stone Crypt)
- Oryx (King’s Fall)
- Rhulk (Vow of the Disciple)
- Riven (Last Wish)
- Nezarec (Root of Nightmares)
Now, for each Raid Boss encounter, there are a set of guaranteed weapons you will earn for your first completion, but after that, you have a chance to obtain anything that that boss’s Raid Loot Table.

All New Boss Encounter Mechanics
So, each of the bosses we’ll encounter is relatively similar to what you might remember from the Raids they originally appeared in, but some new key mechanics really set them apart. Let’s take a look at each encounter’s new mechanics:
- Golgoroth
- Before and during damage there will be extra enemy spawns.
- Two Guardians will get Unstable Light for each Pool of Reclaimed Light.
- The Caretaker
- Centurions spawn where the here Stunners stand.
- Extra enemies spawn within the Symbol Room.
- Zo’aurc
- Solar Tornados spawn.
- Incendiors spawn on the middle platforms.
- After you align all planets, a Tormentor spawns in the middle.
- Atraks-1
- Additional enemies spawn.
- Servitors now have Void Shields.
- A Tormentor spawns in the lower area.
Destiny 2: All Pantheon Rewards
The reward system for the new Pantheon activity is relatively unique in terms of what we’re used to. We will earn weekly rewards, as well as some rewards that can be collected with Pursuits or Triumphs. So far, we know that there are Adept Raid Weapons, Deepsight Raid Weapons, and Exotic Weapons available at the time. Depending on how you score, which is similar to how it is in Nightfalls, you will be able to collect either more or less rewards, with Platinum scores rewarding some of the best items.
There are four new Emblems that we know of right now, as well as a new Title that can be rewarded:
- Atraks Dethroned Emblem
- Exalted Beyond Oryx Emblem
- Rhulk Subdued Emblem
- Elevated Above Nezarec Emblem
- Godslayer Title
Additionally, you’ll be able to choose from the following Exotic weapons after you complete both steps of the Divine Weaponry quest:
- Conditional Finality
- Stasis Shotgun
- Root of Nightmares Raid
- Collective Obligation
- Void Pulse Rifle
- Vow of the Disciple Raid
- Eyes of Tomorrow
- Solar Rocket Launcher
- Deep Stone Crypt Raid
- One Thousand Voices
- Solar Fusion Rifle
- Last Wish Raid
- Touch of Malice
- Kinetic Scout Rifle
- King’s Fall Raid
