Grasp of Avarice
Grasp of Avarice Overview

The Grasp of Avarice dungeon in Destiny 2 was released as part of the Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack in December 2021, taking Guardians into the infamous loot cave of the Cosmodrome. What begins as a nostalgic return to one of Destiny’s most iconic farming spots quickly evolves into a treasure hunt filled with traps, puzzles, and the lingering greed of those who came before. The dungeon leans heavily into the theme of avarice, with environments and encounters built around the dangers of unchecked desire and the pursuit of riches.

As a three-player endgame activity, Grasp of Avarice introduces a unique mechanic centered on collecting and depositing cursed engrams, forcing fireteams to carefully manage stacks while navigating hazards and enemy waves. Players will face encounters against enemies like Phry’zhia the Insatiable and the final boss, Captain Avarokk, the Covetous, all while avoiding environmental traps that punish careless movement. With its mix of humor, challenge, and rewarding loot—including the Exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn—Grasp of Avarice offers a memorable and mechanically engaging dungeon experience.
