Prepare yourself for a lengthy endeavor as the completion of this dungeon demands a significant time investment. So fasten your seat belts and be ready to dedicate at least an hour to its exploration. This new Dungeon can be completed by yourself or you can gather three players in a fire team.

Part 1

To start this mission, you have to enter the Hive ritual site first which you will come across by following the path with your Sparrow. You have to interrupt this ritual by imbuing various statues in this place with the Vestige of Light. You have to do this along with fighting the waves of the Hive who will try to stop you.

Start by killing the Soul Fire Binder Ogre in the area and you will get a message saying “The way forward is revealed”. Upon receiving this message you have to start looking for the Green Goo on the ground and follow it till you find a big glowing Hive rune. Memorize this rune as you will need it to imbue the Vestige of Light when you are back to the statues. Keep following the Green Goo till you find a light-bearer knight or a light-bearer wizard and then kill them.

The Light bearer will drop their ghost when you have killed them. Any member of your team can destroy the ghost and acquire the Vestige of Light for 1 minute. Bring it back to the place where the statues are and imbue the correct statue with the Vestige of Light. This is the same statue that we mentioned above. You can also kill the Veilweaver to get a deep site that tells you which statue is the correct one. You have to repeat this procedure three times to open the door.

Part 2

After getting past the ritual site you have to go down deeper into a jump puzzle that takes place underwater. You have to look for Air Bubbles in this puzzle to breathe and refill your oxygen meter constantly as you will tend to drown and die. Also, remember to share these air Bubbles with your other teammates as they have to survive as well to get past this puzzle.

You can easily get lost in this part, so keep finding ways to descend yourself and your teammates. The path is pretty straight forward but given that you are surrounded by water you can get lost. This is one of the longest routes in Destiny 2 that is present. You have to jump through a hole in a wire mesh wall to reach the area and then double-jump until you reach the other side. Upon finding the other side you can hug the right side of the wall until you find an open pipe that you can hold on to and then exit the underwater to get a grip on the other side.

How to get Deepsight Orb for Hive Rune Puzzle

Upon coming out you will encounter Ecthar, the Shield of Savathan. You will reach a huge chamber where you will find Acolytes praying by the fire. You have to kill the Acolytes, and Ecthar will respawn initiating a boss fight. Ecthar is a strong boss with around 15 million health points despite being solo.

It’s nearly impossible to damage Ecthar given his massive strength.  So you have to kill the Blistered Knights Around The Chamber till you summon the keeper of the deep Ogre. When the keeper of the Deep Ogre comes you have to defeat it and then it will reveal to you the message “Drown in the Deep” in your HUD.

Now head back to the place from where you came in and you will find a Deepsight orb. One of the players from your team has to pick it up. Upon picking it up you have to look at the nearby wall and you will find the Hive Rune symbols that you are required to memorize. After giving it a good look dive back underwater where Ecthar will chase you, so keep moving forward. The team member who remembers the Hive runes will have to look for it in the wall that matches it. Once you find all the runes correctly you will get access to a message saying that “the Runes successfully align with a cackle”. This will be your hint that you have found all the runes correctly. After this, the player can go back to the surface.

Vestige of Light in Destiny 2

As you accomplish this task, a Light Bearer Wizard shall materialize within the chamber, but you must be prepared to confront and eliminate both the wizard and its ethereal apparition. Whichever player from the team kills the ghost would be granted the Vestige of Light buff. Take the Vestige of Light and dunk it into the three statues at the top of the room. Repeat this procedure three times until all three statues have the Vestige of light in them.

When you are done doing this a well-keeper knight will appear at the place you are in. You have to kill this knight and he will spawn as a pool of green go on which you have to stand on. This will grant you the ability to damage Ecthar’s Shields and bring him down. You have to keep repeating this entire process until you completely kill Ecthar.

Upon killing the boss his ghost will be left Behind and you have to kill this ghost as well to proceed. Dive back into the water and look for a new opening with a water wall through which you can walk through. Follow the path of the air Bubbles that lead you to the final area to get past the Dungeon. However this time the path is much more straight forward and you will be able to find your way the water much more easily compared to the last time.

Defeat Simmurah ur – Nokru

Simmurah

Simmurah ur-Nokru is the final boss in the Ghost of the Deep Dungeons in Destiny 2. Given that she is the final boss it could be a bit difficult to take her down. Simmurah ur-Nokru has 11.2 million health points for a full Fire team. So let’s see how you can defeat this boss and get past the Ghosts of the deep dungeons finally.

Part 1: Revealing Hive Rune Symbols

The first step is to kill the ghost that’s near Simmurah ur- Nokru. This will trigger her to move around the arena and attack you more rapidly.

You have to kill three Revenant Knights which will spawn an illusion that gives deep sight. You have to pick it up and you will find 3 glowing circles around the arena that have dark orbs connected by a string of green light. Head to any one of the circles and stand there until it starts glowing. Continue staying inside the circle until Vorlog, Risen In Hersey, spawns in the area. You have to kill Vorlog when you are inside one of the circles so that a green circle eyeglass spawns in the air. Look through this eyeglass and aim it at the Hive Rune symbols. You have to do this two more times for The Other Circles as well until all three ruins are revealed.

Part 2: Buffs

Once you find all the three Hive Rune symbols you can enter any one of the three water walls present inside the main area. You will have to defeat the Lightbearers in each of the three rooms and crush their Ghosts to get their Vestige of Knight, Wizard, and Acolyte buffs. Each of these buffs will last 60 seconds and you have to immediately use this buff or it will kill you after the timer runs out.

Upon entering one of the rooms with the Light bearers you will find rune symbols in that room. Keep a keen eye out for any symbols resembling the Hive rune that we encountered near the main area after defeating Vorlog, as those are the ones you should be searching for. Once you have beaten a Ghost and got the vestige buff head back to the mean Arena and then in view the vestige buff with the Hive Rune that matches to the one which we saw earlier while obtaining the Vestige.

You can reveal the locations of the Hive Runes symbols by activating the illusion that gives Deep Sight to your team. Go near the Hive Rune that matches the one in the room where you found the Vestige and then imbue it in the place where you can find that Hive Rune with this Vestige Buff. Repeat this process two times till all three runes in the main arena have been imbued.

This part of the Ghost of the Deep Dungeon is where you can deal maximum damage to take down Simmurah ur- Nokru in Destiny 2. However this damage phase won’t last long and you will have to imbue the Hive rune symbols again, which now has changed its position. So it would be difficult to go back and repeat the entire process to get another chance at hitting Simmurah ur- Nokru.

Now, you have to repeat this also process till you completely take down Simmurah ur- Nokru

That sums it all up for the Ghosts of the Deep Dungeon in Destiny 2. Even though it seems pretty exhausting when you look at it, given that there are so many things to do inside this specific Dungeon. But it sure is worth it if you want to dive deep into the world of Destiny 2. So try to solve it and enjoy the essence of the game

We wish you luck to complete the Ghost of the Deep Dungeons in Destiny 2.
