Pantheon 2.0

The clear sequence

1. Match the shield

   Start by breaking the crystals on Argos. Find the side showing three elemental orbs and call their colors. Kill the Malignant Hobgoblins for Vex Craniums; charge each at the platform matching a required element. Duplicate colors need duplicate charges.

2. Open, then interrupt

   Bring the three charged craniums to the active side. On one countdown, use matching beams to guide all three orbs into the central opening together. Use the appearing platforms to reach and destroy two body weak points before committing heavy ammo. In Pantheon this interruption comes before damage.

3. Damage and rescue

   Shoot the exposed boss. Break a detained teammate’s bubble immediately; they cannot free themselves. If Argos survives, repeat with a fresh pair of body weak points.

The clear sequence

1. Maintain opposite states

   Shoot Gahlran to begin, then have one player per pair enter the Blessing pool. Blessed players kill blessed enemies; their partners handle normal enemies. Stand together at your vessel and shoot it with both states to swap before Witch’s Blessing expires.

2. Set up the cleaver

   Lure the Deception onto the platform in front of the large Gahlran. A blessed and unblessed player melee it together to remove its shield. Shoot the large boss’s glowing hand so his cleaver kills the stunned Deception. Restore the lost Blessing with help from another blessed player at a vessel.

3. Find and damage the real Gahlran

   After all three Deceptions die, shoot your boss’s raised hands, then head. Two copies disappear. Regroup at the remaining boss, refresh Blessing, and break raised hands again whenever they interrupt damage. Repeat if needed.

Community reports place the returning crystals in the Challenges Feat. When crystals are active, a blessed and unblessed player must destroy them together from inside the shield.

The clear sequence

1. Split after the teleport

   Shoot the chalice and clear enemies. When Calus teleports everyone, the throne team takes the return orbs; the readers stay behind the low barrier. Each reader calls the symbol they see on Calus.

2. Solve the missing symbol

   The symbols are Cup, Axes, Sun and Dog. The throne team melees the Psion matching the one symbol nobody called. Readers kill ground Psions and floating projections while staying behind the barrier. Repeat as the safe barrier advances.

3. Build the damage buff

   Readers shoot the skull stream to build Force of Will. The throne team breaks Calus’s shield before its attack kills them, coordinating with the skull team. Use the return orbs to reunite.

4. Use one plate at a time

   All six enter the chosen plate together. Damage, then move together before Calus’s attack hits it. Continue across the remaining plates. Aim at the exposed chest after the robot reveal, and retain ammo for the final shield.

The clear sequence

1. Keep both Totems occupied

   Take the starting Brands to the side Totems. Kill enemies there to earn Deathsinger’s Power. Replacements kill the Wizard and Blightguard near their side of the Warpriest arena, take Brand Claimer and steal the outgoing player’s Brand before the timer ends.

2. Deposit in the boss room

   The outgoing holder stands on a green Warpriest plate until their stacks drain, then rejoins the rotation. When the game announces that Warpriest deems you worthy, regroup at the red plate.

3. Extend damage

   Activate the red plate for Brand of the Initiate and stay in its aura to damage. Two designated players kill the new Blightguards, collect their Brands and steal the damage Brand in turn near expiry. Retained Deathsinger stacks help extend the window.

4. Survive the blast

   When damage ends, everyone shelters behind the same intact pillar. The blast consumes that cover. Resume the Totem rotation; agree on the next shelter before the next damage phase.

The clear sequence

1. Open the relay network

   Clear Angelics and link each tether box to its relay with teammates. Spread defenders across the four outer relays and the added center relay. Enlightened lets you break shielded Vex; prevent sacrifices and refresh the buff before it expires.

2. Handle Overflow

   When the boss drops Voltaic Overflow, an eligible player collects it and calls the lit inner or outer eyes. Assigned shooters destroy the matching eyes. Rotate collectors while their Overflow debuff is active.

3. Deliver motes

   Kill Malignant Motekeepers in the lanes and bank their Voltaic Motes at the center relay. Aim for 30; sacrifices set progress back. Keep relay defense covered while a carrier moves.

4. Break eyes, then follow

   When the center is ready, regroup there. Break the boss’s exposed eyes to open damage and follow it down the lane while firing. Return to relay defense if another cycle is needed.

Remote tethering is enabled again in Update 9.7.0.3: outer defenders connect to their boxes while the center pair completes its tether to refresh Enlightened across the network. Coordinate the refresh after the eye mechanic.

The clear sequence

1. Send the first pair inside

   Collect the opening Taken Strength, then a second on that player. Never take a third stack. When the collector is trapped, their partner kills an Eye of Riven, takes its Essence and uses the grenade action nearby to cleanse. Both enter Riven’s Heart.

2. Collect only the missing symbols

   Outside players call the symbols behind Morgeth. Inside, the Essence holder sees symbols over Strength and guides their partner to those NOT called outside. Respect the two-stack cap. Repeat with the next pair; the final pair brings Morgeth into the Heart.

3. Start and control damage

   An eligible player takes the final Strength to start damage. Assign someone to the Eye of Riven: if another cycle is needed, use the Essence Super on Morgeth before his Strength reaches 100%. That ends damage and returns the team outside.

4. Finish across the platforms

   At final stand, take the portal and cross the platforming route. Spread out to collect all remaining Strength without exceeding two stacks each. Burn the boss before his Strength fills; keep heavy ammo and burst Supers for this finish.

The clear sequence

1. Activate the map

   Two players break the opening Berserker’s front and back weak points together, kill it and deposit its battery. The map and boss activate. Use map callouts for later Berserkers and the numbered battery destinations; rotate carriers while Ionized prevents repeat pickups.

2. Collect underground buffs

   Kill the surface Servitor to open access. Send one trio down to melee the three safe terminals: circle for Continuous, triangle for Angular, square for Parallel. Avoid the red mixed-symbol terminal. Swap trios so all six have buffs, two per type. Keep different buffs apart.

3. Prepare the damage trigger

   Use matching-buff pairs for Berserkers and deliver four batteries to the called deposits. Break all six white armor panels: knees, arms and back. Once the tank is available and everyone is positioned, the designated pilot shoots the boss with the Drake to expose its Servitor.

4. Match after every pulse

   Damage the exposed Servitor from three separated pairs. Stand with the teammate sharing your current buff for Phase Synergy. Each pulse can change buffs: check the HUD, move to the correct position, then resume firing. Repeat the setup if the boss survives.

Do not use Divinity here. Bungie’s July 7 patch states that neither Divinity nor damage into its cage harms Insurrection Prime at any stage.
