Destiny 2’s Leviathan raid guide is a sprawling, challenging, occasionally maddening adventure. In Polygon’s Leviathan raid guide, we’ll walk you through every encounter from the Castellum, to the Royal Pools, the Pleasure Gardens, the Gauntlet and, of course, your big fight with Emperor Calus. Be sure to check out our loadout guides, too, so you can equip the best armor, weapons and exotics for the raid.
