Bungie is continuing its trend of strong story-telling with Destiny 2’s Season of the Haunted. When Guardians log in for the first time, they’ll be thrown into the Leviathan Returns quest. Here’s how to survive it.
The Leviathan Returns Quest Steps
Operation: Midas
This mission is fairly straightforward. Pay attention to your radar and follow it to move from location to location. Guardians will start in theCastellumand head underground into thePleasure Gardens. Once in the Pleasure Gardens, there will betwo itemsthat need to be investigated. The first isunder the statue of Calus, and the second is aCabal corpsein front of the golden head of Calus nearby. Once that has been done, give chase to theNightmare of Safiyah. Once you reach the malfunctioning doors, shoot the electrical conduit just to the left in order to open them. Head up and continue following your radar.

In short order, you’ll reach a room with alarge golden Cabal. He isimmuneto weapons and highly aggressive. Creep around theleft sideof the walkway to get past him. Just like the previous malfunctioning door, shoot the electrical conduit to open it. The next hallway will lead Guardians to a room with anEgregore Spore Pod. Stand next to the pod and shoot it to gain theEgregore Link buffand pass through the barrier sealing the hallway. After another set of hallways, you’ll run into another Egregore Spore Pod. Rinse and repeat here.
Head intoCalus' Throne Roomand interact with the doll. With the trap sprung, you’ll be tasked with survival until Eris can complete her ritual to extract you. To those familiar with Eris' rituals, it should be no surprise that this one is a failure. Take down the orange-bar enemy to drop the barrier and run to the exit.
The H.E.L.M.
After the cinematic plays, you’ll find yourself in the H.E.L.M. Go through the first doorway on the left. Interact with the big spooky helmet to pick up yourSeasonal Artifact. This will complete The Leviathan Returns.
