Introduction to Moments of Triumph 2025
Moments of Triumph is an annual event in Destiny 2 that celebrates the achievements and milestones of the past year, offering players a set of challenges and objectives to complete. This year, Moments of Triumph 2025 pays homage to the game’s journey from the "Into the Light" update through "The Final Shape" and up to the last episode, "Heresy." The event rewards players with a unique title, the MMXXIV, and other exclusive items, such as a Ghost Shell and a Sparrow. To earn the MMXXIV title, you need to complete at least 26 triumphs from a list of required objectives. Some of these triumphs are straightforward, while others are more challenging, but all of them offer a rewarding experience.
Required Triumphs for the MMXXIV Title
The triumphs required to obtain the Moments of Triumph title this year are spread across various aspects of the game, from raids and dungeons to missions and collectibles. Here’s a breakdown of the objectives:
-
Light and Darkness: Complete a run of each Year Seven raid and dungeon, including Salvation’s Edge, Vesper’s Host, and Sundered Doctrine. Note that Salvation’s Edge requires "The Final Shape" expansion, and the dungeons need the specific Dungeon Key.
-
Cayde’s Stashes: Locate and access all of Cayde’s stashes in the Tower within the Pale Heart. This is a straightforward but time-consuming objective, perfect for exploring the game world.
-
Lots of Guns: Reset your vendor rank with Banshee. This is a highly recommended objective due to the benefits of vendor reset and the ease of completion.
-
Onslaught Mastery: Reach wave 50 in any Onslaught activity. It’s currently unclear if Onslaught: Salvation counts, but it’s worth checking out.
-
Whisper Completed: Finish the Whisper mission on any difficulty. This is a recommended objective that adds to the story and is relatively easy to complete.
-
Zero Hour Completed: Finish the Zero Hour mission on any difficulty. Another recommended task that is not too challenging and offers a sense of accomplishment.
-
Lighting the Future: Reflect on your journey and look forward to a hopeful future. This objective was auto-completed for many players, likely tied to completing the "The Final Shape" campaign.
-
The Final Shape—Legendary: Complete the "The Final Shape" campaign on Legend difficulty. This is a recommended objective and a good way to enhance your skills.
-
Going Fast: Finish each Cyst in the Pale Heart in under four minutes. This is a requirement for the Pale Heart title and can be challenging, especially for the Moth-Infested Cave Cyst before recent changes.
-
Inseparable: Reset your Ghost’s vendor rank in the Pale Heart. This is another easy and beneficial task.
-
Flock Together: Collect all 55 Feathers of Light in the Pale Heart. If you need additional objectives to reach the 26-triumph mark, this is a good choice, though it can be time-consuming.
-
Synchronicity: Fully unlock the Prismatic subclass for one of your characters. This is a recommended objective that also enhances your gameplay experience.
-
Salvation’s Edge: Complete the Salvation’s Edge raid. This is one of the more mechanics-heavy raids in Destiny 2, so finding a competent team is crucial.
-
Vesper’s Champion: Finish the Vesper’s Host dungeon. Dungeons are generally less daunting than raids and offer valuable loot.
-
The Sundering: Complete the Sundering Doctrine dungeon. Like Vesper’s Host, this dungeon is a good source of rewards and is relatively easier to complete.
-
A New Golden Age: Finish the story for the first episode, Echoes. If you haven’t purchased the episode, you can get it as part of the "Final Shape" Annual Pass bundle.
-
More like Research Bae: Complete all nine Specimen quests for Failsafe in Episode: Echoes. These quests are simple but time-consuming, adding to the overall experience of the episode.
-
Mineral Processing: Deposit Radiolite at Failsafe. This is a straightforward and rewarding objective.
-
Process Purged, Process Corrupted: Complete both versions of the Enigma Protocol mission. This is a recommended objective due to its importance in the story.
-
Bravissimo: Complete the Encore Exotic mission from Echoes and acquire the Choir of One auto rifle. You can do this on any difficulty, making it a good starting point.
-
Risen and Fallen: Finish the story for the second episode, Revenant. Similar to "A New Golden Age," this is a necessary step if you’re progressing through the episodes.
-
…With a Minor in Alchemy: Complete all of Eido’s Fieldwork missions. This indirectly requires unlocking all Tonic recipes, adding a layer of complexity but also depth to your gameplay.
-
Elder Contestant: Do a full run of the Contest of Elders in Revenant. The full run involves reaching the Servitor’s final room with three stacks of the Warden’s Favor buff, leading to the treasure room.
-
Kellmaker: Complete Kell’s Fall on any difficulty and acquire Slayer’s Fang. This is a recommended and relatively easier objective to tackle.
-
Expert Nether: Finish the Nether in Expert difficulty. This can be tricky, so completing side objectives to gain Minor Boons and using a sustainable build will help.
- Chosen Path: Complete the quest "The Taken Path." This refers to the first act of the "Heresy" episode and is a solid choice for those aiming to progress through the content.
Rewards for Completing Triumphs
In addition to the MMXXIV title, completing specific sets of triumphs unlocks additional rewards. For instance, completing five of the listed triumphs earns you a token to purchase a T-Shirt, which also counts as one of the necessary triumphs. Completing 14 triumphs unlocks the Technoprotection Ghost Shell, and completing 21 triumphs gives you a unique Sparrow. These rewards not only recognize your efforts but also provide cosmetic and functional benefits, enhancing your overall experience in the game.
Unlocking the MMXXIV Title
Unlocking the MMXXIV title requires the completion of at least 26 triumphs from the list of required objectives. The good news is that rewards-related triumphs also count toward this total, giving you three "freebies" if you meet all the thresholds. Since Moments of Triumph 2025 is somewhat retroactive, you might have already completed some of these objectives. If you haven’t, focusing on the easier and recommended tasks can help you reach the 26-triumph mark quickly.
