The Royal Pools is a landmark in Destiny 2 that serves as one of the three free-roam zones on the Derelict Leviathan. Players need to find this landmark to locate the chests that appear for the Nightmare Containment activity. These chests can be opened with Opulent Keys and will reward its finder with powerful Menagerie weaponry. However, locating these chests and other objective-related items in Leviathan might be challenging for some Guardians since the area does not have a map, unlike normal patrol zones in Destiny 2.
Finding the Royal Pools in Destiny 2
There are two primary ways to get to the Royals Pools on the Derelict Leviathan in Destiny 2. First, after spawning into the Castellum, head over to the colossal entryway on the left, characterized by a pair of giant columns with Emporer Calus’s face at the top. Follow the massive corridors to the end to find the Royals Pools.

The second route to reach the Royal Pools in Destiny 2 is through the Pleasure Gardens. Starting from the Castellum, go straight and take two right turns near a small stairwell to find a giant entrance leading into a dimly lit tunnel. Follow the linear pathway until finding the Pleasure Gardens. After exiting the foyer, turn left to spot a circular entryway lit with a greenish glare. Be mindful of the nearby hostiles and head into the open doorway. Continue through the corrupted passage and up the steep, narrow incline to finally arrive at the Royal Pools in Destiny 2.
After getting to the Royal Pools, Guardians can discover several Opulent Chests within the area. One is located by the Castellum entrance, and another is between the large columns by the passageway leading to the Pleasure Gardens. Players can find a third on the opposite side of the Castellum entryway, near the far end of the room. It is highly likely that Destiny 2 fans will encounter multiple hostiles in the room as well. Slaying these mobs and opening the chests of the Royal Pools will grant players Opulent Keys. As mentioned above, players can use these keys to acquire the Menagerie weapons available during the game’s Season of the Haunted. These armaments include the Austringer Hand Cannon, Drang (Baroque) Sidearm, CALUS Mini-Tool SMG, Beloved Sniper Rifle, The Epicurean, Fixed Odds, and Imperial Decree.
Destiny 2 is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PC.
