Destiny 2: Rite Of The Nine Event Guide

The Nine remains a mysterious force in Destiny 2 . Ever since the Witness' downfall, they have started to become a more prominent force in the game's plotline. With Rite of the Nine, they are actively inviting Guardians to play their games. It isn't a proper gameshow in this case, but there are plenty of rewards to earn nonetheless.

Rite of the Nine has updated three of Destiny 2's dungeons with new mechanics and rewards, including a limited-time title and some powerful reprised weapons. Today, we'll be covering what Rite of the Nine is, give a brief overview of the dungeon difficulty changes, and explain how you can start the event.

What Is Rite Of The Nine?

Rite of the Nine is a dungeon-themed PvE event that runs from May 6 to July 15, the launch of The Edge of Fate expansion. The Emissary of the Nine has issued a challenge to all Guardians: best the Nine's chosen dungeons, and you'll walk away with new spoils.

This event has updated Ghosts of the Deep , Spire of the Watcher , and Prophecy with difficulty options, refreshed weapon perk pools, and encounter updates that should prove challenging to even experienced dungeon farmers. Similar to Into the Light, the entire event will run through a hub called the Rite of the Nine. Visit this area in Eternity to pick up the event quest and get started.

Dungeon Difficulties

The largest addition in Rite of the Nine is the inclusion of dungeon difficulty tiers. Instead of the usual Normal and Master variants, the Nine-themed dungeon update has replaced these options with three new elective difficulty modes, each tailored for a certain skill level.

Difficulty	Power Delta	Modifiers
Explorer	-0 Power	Encounters are explained through in-world tooltips. Matchmaking is enabled.
Eternity	-0 Power	Standard dungeon experience, featuring banes and tougher enemies. Matchmaking is disabled.
Ultimatum	-25 Power	Grandmaster dungeon experience. Can drop adept weapons based on your team's death count. Lower is better. Notswap and banes are enabled.

Explorer is tailored for newer players who have never set foot in a dungeon before. This difficulty has weaker enemies, fireteam matchmaking, and in-game tooltips that explain how to complete each encounter. This is a great way to try out dungeons if you're new to Destiny 2's endgame and grab some strong weapons along the way.

Eternity is how dungeons are normally experienced. Matchmaking is disabled and no tooltips are present to help with encounters. Rewards are standard for the dungeon you're playing. It's a good difficulty for reacclimating yourself with each dungeon or for farming Nonary Manifolds, this event's main currency.

Ultimatum is where you can earn adept weapons, stronger variants of pre-existing dungeon guns. This difficulty is tuned similarly to Contest Mode raids and Grandmaster Nightfalls, featuring a -25 Power limit and significantly more negative modifiers. Adept drop rates are determined by your team's death total, so try to stay alive above all else.

Rite Of The Nine Hub

The Emissary is located in The Rite of the Nine, a new hub area you can find under the Eternity tab of the Director map. Destiny 2 veterans will recognize this as the old Trials of the Nine reward hub. Walk up to the Emissary and speak with her to grab the event's starter quests, each asking you to clear an updated dungeon.

In the hub itself, you can interact with the chest near The Emissary to claim a Gift of the Nine. This is a loot cache that includes a full set of powerful gear at 2,010 Power, Izanagi's Burden, and the Aeon Swift Exotic. If you're a returning player, this effectively lets you bypass the vast majority of Destiny 2's Power grind.

The chest across from The Emissary allows you to pull random weapons from this event by spending Nonary Manifolds, a currency you'll earn by completing dungeon encounters and bounties from The Emissary. You can earn adept loot through the chest as well.

Earning Nonary Manifolds

Nonary Manifolds are a new type of currency introduced in Rite of the Nine. These can be redeemed at the Rite of the Nine hub chest for random dungeon drops. The chest accounts for whatever your current weapon focus is, so be sure to attune a weapon before you spend your manifolds.

As for getting this resource, you can acquire Nonary Manifolds from dungeon encounter completions and from Curios of the Nine you've collected up until this point. Anyone who's played throughout the season will likely have a few Curios of the Nine from Seasonal Challenges and the recent Chess event. You can exchange these at The Emissary for a small stockpile of manifolds to kickstart the loot chase.

Rite Of The Nine Rewards

Every major event in Destiny 2 comes with new loot to chase, and Rite of the Nine is no exception. Every weapon from Ghosts of the Deep, Spire of the Watcher, and most weapons from Prophecy have been reissued with new perks and the Gravity Well origin trait. Perk combinations on these weapons are quite strong and should serve you well in high-end PvE content. We won't be covering exact rolls in this guide—keep an eye out for a god roll guide later this week.

Beyond that, The Nine has also added a new title you can earn throughout the event: ETERNITY. Most of the Triumphs are currently hidden, so this title might be time-gated. Unlocking the title will award you with the unique Astrograph shader, a slight recoloring of the now-unobtainable Honors of the Nine shader.
