The Season of Opulence has brought the Menagerie into Destiny 2. The Menagerie pits players against a series of encounters until a bar is filled up. Once you fill the bar all the up and defeat the boss, you will deem yourself worthy. This guide will show you how to complete Menagerie encounters in Destiny 2, so you can prove your worth to Emperor Calus.
How to Complete Menagerie Encounters

Menagerie encounters always begin with Lamp Lighting and is followed by a random selection of encounters until you have proven your worth to Calus. Each battle will have a golden hologram of Calus’ head to start the encounter. Raid Banners are permitted in the Menagerie, so it’s wise to stock up from Petra in the Dreaming City if you haven’t already.
Each encounter is timed and will be deemed complete if players run out of time or fill the meter to the designated spot. Once the bar is full players will fight a boss. There are three bosses in the Menagerie that rotate with each weekly reset. Reddit user kramrm has created a wonderful graphic summarizing each encounter, and we’ve detailed them below.
Lamp Lighting

With Lamp Lighting, players kill enemies until a boss spawns and drops orbs. The orbs are to be deposited in the lamps for lighting. Once completed, you will proceed to the next random encounter.
Triumph – Only light one lamp per player.
The Hunted
In the Hunted encounter, players must capture two marked plates until the meter is full. Knights will also spawn during the encounter, and killing them will advance the progress as well.
Triumph – Complete this encounter with time left on the clock.
The Arkborn
Players are tasked with collecting souls from light pillars and depositing them at marked locations and is repeated through three waves of bosses. Players can hold up to three souls at once.
Triumph – Complete this encounter with time left on the clock.
The Mockery
In the Mockery, players will need to kill Wizards to drop orbs. These orbs are then deposited into Havens to recharge them. Players will do this until a boss is spawned.
Triumph – Defeat the Ogres with all three havens preserved.
The Gauntlet
During the Gauntlet, players will kill enemies and a boss until they are transported onto the track and complete a lap. Players will repeat this three times.
Triumphs – Get a perfect score by having all six players complete every lap before time runs out.
The Crystals
During the Crystals, encounter players will need to kill Harpies, so they drop Vex Craniums. Players will use the Vex Craniums to destroy crystals that are scattered throughout the room on the left and right sides. Destroying the crystals will summon a boss.
Triumph – Complete this encounter with time left on the clock.
The Riposte
In Riposte, players are tasked with killing Knights until they drop their sword. Players will need to grab the sword and take down the shield of another Knight, so other players can damage it. The encounter gets harder when Ogres are spawned in, and you must take their shield down.
Triumph – Complete this encounter with time left on the clock.
Hasapiko, Beloved By Calus
Hasapiko is a giant Vex Minotaur and will spawn on the front of the stage with shield immunity. Players will need to kill Harpies on the left, right, or middle area of the fight. Once the Harpies are dead, they will drop a pool that players will stand in to bring Hasapiko’s shield down.
When the shield is down, players will deal damage and have to evade walls of energy that will be sent down three different lanes. Avoid the energy walls to keep from dying. This process is repeated until Hasapiko is has been vanquished.
Triumph – Defeat Hasapiko for on triumph. Defeat Hasapiko without allowing any fireteam member dying during a Heroic Menagerie run.
Arunak, Beloved By Calus
Arunak is a Hive Ogre who will spawn in with shield immunity. Players will need to kill exploding Thrall to make them drop orbs. Once these orbs drop, players will need to pick them up and throw them at Arunak. Throw enough orbs to drop Arunaks shield and deal damage until he is dead. This will take a little bit of time as Arunak is a little tougher than Hasapiko.
After dealing enough damage to Arunak, the shield will come back up and spawn more enemies. Wizards will spawn the second time around while Knights will spawn the third time around.
Triumph – Defeat Arunak for one triumph. Defeat Arunak without allowing any fireteam member dying during a Heroic Menagerie run for the other triumph.
Pagouri, Beloved By Calus
Nothing is known about Pagouri at this time, but once this boss becomes available, this article will be updated on how to beat it. Once the boss is defeated, players will be able to open the chest and claim their reward from the Chalice.
