At long last, Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted has arrived. As expected, there’s a whole new seasonal quest to follow through, as well as new armor sets, weapons, and a haunting atmosphere in every corner. Considering how much is there to unpack, from Solar 3.0 to yet another list of weapon ornaments, we’re diving into all things Destiny 2. This guide focuses on the Destiny 2 Battle Lines Triumph and how to find a Loyalist Commander to complete it.
Destiny 2 Exile Ended Triumph – How to Defeat a Loyalist Commander and Release its Prisoner
The Battle Lines Triumph asks you to defeat a Loyalist force defending their territory in Derelict Leviathan and then bring down their commander. It’s not super clear where exactly this encounter takes place or how to trigger it, but here are the steps.
First, head over to Castellum (Derelict Leviathan) from the Moon’s destination tab. Then, we have to do a short trip to the Royal Pools. For this, as soon as you arrive, go around the massive Callum statue and enter the back door. Use that corridor to find the Pleasure Gardens.
As soon as you enter the Pleasure Gardens, you’re likely to bump into other players, as well as both Cabal and Scorn enemies. In order to stumble upon the exiled prisoner, you’re going to have to wait until the Shield Warden enemy appears. This is an elite monster, not a boss encounter, who guards the prisoner. As well as the enemy’s presence, you’ll be able to see a dome with the NPC we want to save inside, so it’s hard to miss.
That’s pretty much it, unfortunately. There isn’t a specific line of events to trigger the encounter. I was roaming the area and the event happened at random. Just make sure to keep an eye on the Shield Warden as another player may defeat him before you, and you’ll have to wait once again. The enemy can be quite tough as there’s a shield around him, but it shouldn’t pose that much of a trouble in the grand scheme of things.
Once you defeat the Shield Warden the prisoner, who’s name is Optus Haseth, Coalition Ally, is going to be set free. The cool detail out of this is that they’re going to be hanging around the map killing a couple of enemies for a brief moment.
Aside from this, that’s all for the Destiny 2 Exile Ended Triumph!
