Destiny 2's MMXXIII Moments of Triumph: The Ultimate Guide to Conquer Lightfall's Greatest Challenges

As Destiny 2 enters 2026, the echoes of the Lightfall era's grand challenges still resonate. The MMXXIII Moments of Triumph title remains a prestigious badge of honor, a testament to a Guardian's dedication across Neomuna's neon streets, the haunting depths of Titan, and the arcane rituals of the Witch Queen's realm. Earning this title is no small feat—it demands mastery over raids, dungeons, seasonal narratives, and the very essence of Strand itself. Think you have what it takes to join the ranks of the triumphant? This comprehensive guide breaks down every step, transforming an overwhelming list into a conquerable journey.

🏆 The Path to Glory: Understanding the Triumphs

Before diving into the specifics, let's outline the journey. The MMXXIII title requires completing 26 out of 30 available Triumphs. Along the way, dedicated Guardians are rewarded for their progress:

• Moments of Triumph T-Shirt Token: Unlocked after 5 Triumphs.

• Exclusive Ghost Shell: Earned after 14 Triumphs.

• Unique Sparrow: Awarded upon completing 21 Triumphs.

• Paracasual Adventurer: A special Triumph for completing every dungeon and raid released in 2023—this should come naturally as you tackle the endgame PvE challenges.

So, where to begin? Let's categorize the conquest.

🪐 Neomuna Mastery: Conquering the City of Light

The heart of the Lightfall expansion, Neomuna, is where your journey truly begins. Several Triumphs are rooted here, testing your knowledge of its secrets and your resilience against its threats.

Lightfall—Legendary

Complete all Lightfall missions on Legendary difficulty.

This is your first major test. The eight-mission campaign is no joke on Legendary. Our top tip? Don't even attempt it without a polished Strand build. The campaign's mechanics are built around this new power. You'll find the starting point on the Neptune map, just to the left of Nimbus. Preparation is key!

Action Hero

Complete all Heroic public events on Neomuna.

Neomuna hosts three public events, each with a specific Heroic trigger. You don't need the rare Vex Incursion Zone event for this! Here’s your cheat sheet:

Cartographer

Complete all Lost Sectors in Neomuna.

A straightforward task. The three Lost Sectors are:

1. Hydroponics Delta (Zephyr Concourse)

2. Gilded Precept (Ahimsa Park)

3. Thrilladrome (Liming Harbor)

They're Not Dolls

Collect all action figures in Neomuna.

Scattered across the city are nine unique action figures. Once found, deliver them to the display in Strider's Gate, the building west-southwest of Nimbus. It's a fun scavenger hunt that rewards exploration!

Terminal Treasures

Open chests at the end of Terminal Overload.

This Neomuna activity is your key. Matchmake into it from the map, clear all three tiers, and open the chests. Using a Terminal Overload Key on the second chest grants bonus progress. Earn keys from Nimbus's bounties!

Take a Strand

Inflict Unraveled, Severed, and Suspended debuffs.

This tests your understanding of Strand's core verbs. For easy Unravel, use Thread of Propagation and a Strand weapon to get Unraveling Rounds. Sever and Suspend can be applied through various melee abilities and grenades. Have you mastered the threads of reality yet?

Restored and Remembered

Restore all memorials in the Hall of Heroes.

After the campaign, speak with Quinn. Simply complete every quest she offers, including the Exotic quests for Deterministic Chaos, Final Warning, and Winterbite. Each restored memory brings Neomuna's history to life.

Honorary Cloud Strider

Claim all rank rewards from Nimbus.

Grind time! Reach Rank 30 with Nimbus by completing Terminal Overload, Lost Sectors, patrols, and bounties on Neomuna. It's a marathon, not a sprint, but the vendor rewards along the way are worth it.

⚔️ Endgame Excellence: Raids & Dungeons

This is where legends are forged. The MMXXIII title demands you face Destiny 2's toughest PvE challenges.

Root of Nightmares & Crota's End

Complete the "Root of Nightmares" and "Crota's End" raids.

• Root of Nightmares: Lightfall's flagship raid, set within the Witness's Pyramid. Bring a good Rocket Launcher, max Resilience, and a solid team.

• Crota's End: The revamped classic from the "Legends" tab. It's free-to-play but packs updated, challenging mechanics. Don't underestimate the Swordbearer!

Arise & Collect the Debts of Kings...

Complete the "Ghosts of the Deep" and "Warlord's Ruin" dungeons.

• Ghosts of the Deep: Arguably Destiny 2's hardest dungeon. A fireteam is highly recommended; soloing the final boss is a grueling test of endurance.

• Warlord's Ruin: More approachable but still dangerous. For your first clear, bring a team. A pro tip? Sunshot works wonders in the final encounter.

📜 Seasonal Sagas: A Year of Stories

The annual narrative unfolded across four seasons, each with its own Triumphs.

Season of Defiance

• Unbowed, Unbent: Complete the "We Stand Unbroken" questline. A straightforward series of Defiant Battlegrounds.

• Big Game Banisher: Defeat 75 Champions in the Defiant Battlegrounds playlist. Bring anti-Champion mods!

• Scourge of Light: Get 1,000 kills with Season of Defiance weapons (Perpetualis, Regnant, etc.). Farm spots like Shuro Chi or the Grasp of Avarice loot cave.

Season of the Deep

• Fully Salvaged: Finish the "Into the Depths" questline.

• Mechanical Depth: Reach different reward tiers (Tiers 1-3, 4-6, and 7) in Deep Dives to face the Twilight, Midnight, and Abyss bosses.

• Deep Reserves: Another 1,000 kills, this time with Season of the Deep weapons (Spare Rations, Bug-Out Bag, etc.).

• Hook, Line, Sinker: Go fishing! Catch 500 fish at ponds on Nessus, EDZ, or the Throne World.

Season of the Witch

• Sisters and Swords: Complete "The Bladed Path" questline through Savathun's Spire and Altars of Summoning.

• Elemental Covens: Clear Savathun's Spire three times, each with a full fireteam using only Arc, then Void, then Solar subclasses.

• Acolyte's Offerings: Complete every possible encounter in Altars of Summoning. This requires patience due to random rotation.

• Red Tithings: Yes, another 1,000 kills—now with Season of the Witch weapons (Brya's Love, The Eremite, etc.).

• Arcane Knowledge: Identify all 40 Minor Arcana cards at the Lectern of Divination by ranking up and finding secrets.

Season of the Wish

• The Parting Glass: Complete the "Wishing All the Best" questline, which includes running the Starcrossed Exotic mission.

• Lair Crawler: Defeat 50 pathway bosses in Riven's Lair or The Coil (The Coil grants bonus progress!).

• Riven's Relics: Open 50 chests in these activities. Remember, The Coil's hidden chests during platforming sections count!

• By the Breath of Sol: Complete the Starcrossed Exotic mission with a full fireteam using only Solar subclasses. Solar Warlocks with Sunbracers are ideal.

• Weapon Proficiency: Get kills in the Dreaming City. Any weapon works, and kills in Wish activities (like The Coil) give extra progress. This is a great excuse to farm The Coil's amazing rewards!

✅ Final Checklist & Pro Tips

Feeling overwhelmed? Break it down. Focus on one season or category at a time. Here’s a final priority list:

1. Start with Neomuna: The location-based Triumphs (Legendary, Public Events, Lost Sectors) build a strong foundation.

2. Tackle the Endgame: Schedule raid and dungeon runs with your clan. These are often the biggest hurdles.

3. Grind Seasonal Weapon Kills Concurrently: Equip the required weapons for "Scourge of Light," "Deep Reserves," and "Red Tithings" while doing other activities. Let the progress build passively.

4. Use Efficient Farms: For mass kill Triumphs, use locations like:

   • The Shuro Chi checkpoint (Last Wish raid)

   • The loot cave in Grasp of Avarice

   • The Coil activity (which also progresses multiple other Triumphs!)

5. Don't Sleep on The Coil: This activity is a powerhouse for progress, offering pathways for "Lair Crawler," chests for "Riven's Relics," and Dreaming City kills for "Weapon Proficiency" alongside fantastic loot.

The MMXXIII title is a marathon that spans an entire year of content. It challenges your skill, your knowledge, and your dedication. But with this guide in hand, that glorious title is within reach. So, Guardian, what are you waiting for? The triumphs of a year await your claim. Will you answer the call?
