The Shattered Throne dungeon in Destiny 2 was introduced with Forsaken in September 2018, marking the first dungeon ever released in the game. Set within the ascendant plane of the Dreaming City, the dungeon takes Guardians into a corrupted, otherworldly version of this Awoken stronghold, where reality is twisted by Taken energy and the lingering curse placed upon the city. As players venture deeper, they uncover the source of the corruption and confront the forces responsible for maintaining the Dreaming City’s endless cycle.

As a three-player endgame activity, Shattered Throne emphasizes exploration, navigation, and methodical combat, with encounters that test positioning and coordination rather than relying heavily on complex mechanics. Fireteams will face powerful enemies, including Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger, before culminating in a final confrontation with Dul Incaru, the Eternal Return. With its atmospheric design, interconnected spaces, and foundational role in shaping future dungeons, Shattered Throne remains a memorable and iconic experience within Destiny 2’s endgame.
