"Destiny 2’s Leviathan raid is the best thing Bungie has ever done
Destiny 2’s first raid, Leviathan, feels alive and playful. The item rewards have become minimal now that I’ve finished it multiple times, but I’m hoping to join another team tonight. Why?
Because it’s fun.
Hardcore players already have the solutions to the raid’s puzzles down pat, but the communication required to execute keeps every encounter fresh. The raid feels different when you play with different people, and that’s the mark of design that exceeds expectations.
Bungie ignored the advice of so many skeptics, myself included, who asked for a raid that was more “traditional” and less puzzle-based. It instead pushed deeper into the harder to define “Bungie-ness” of the first game’s raids, and came up with something bizarre and unique.
The Leviathan raid is one of the best things Bungie has ever done, and it’s worth the multi-hour time investment to see the whole thing. What makes it so special? To answer that question, I’m going to have to walk you through each section, but don’t worry; we’re going to have a good time.
THE BATHHOUSE
Running a raid completely blind is a magical experience. When those big, glorious Nude Boys — known officially as the Ceremonial Bathers in the raid — spawned in the Pools, it was weird as hell. It was also very exciting. If you have yet to play the raid, you’ll know this moment when you see it.
The Pools is a purely mechanics-based encounter that teaches your squad how to execute goals on an individual level. You are required to split your team in half and rotate the map as squads of three before regrouping in the middle. You have to be strong both together and apart as you break into smaller fireteams.

Destiny 2 Leviathan Raid guide
The entire fight is essentially one, big public event, a system where a group of players jump into a space together to fight enemies around a central objective. These events highlight what the Destiny series does so well, which is getting people together to shoot at shit. It’s a good foot on which to start a raid.
And while public events rely on chance run-ins with other players, the Pools force you to constantly help your friends, leaving no one behind. You’re going to rely on each other, you’re going to have to figure out how to split the team and you’re going to love it.
The ideas behind this encounter teach you a lesson you will need for the rest of the raid: You need to be strong both together and apart, and you need to be able to quickly and effectively communicate what the hell you’re doing.
Which brings us to the next, slightly less successful portion of the raid.
THE PLEASURE GARDENS
This fight takes place in a beautifully lit jungle enclosure and features stealth, shooting laser beams at plants and lot of screaming. Yes, the Dogs is a stealth encounter, something that Bungie is not particularly well known for or, frankly, good at.
This fight is chaotic and shows that Bungie is trying to make unique experiences in Destiny 2, but good stealth sections rely on clear communication from the game and this is where Bungie stumbles.
Why did that dog randomly turn around and spot my squad? I don’t know. Why did that dog just sprint off its usual walking path when none of us were close to it? I don’t know that either."
