RELATED: Hidden Areas You Didn’t Know Existed In Destiny 2 (And Forsaken)
Every title is prestigious in its own right, but not every title is created equal. Some titles are much harder to earn than others, whether that’s due to time-gated triumphs or the activity itself being hard to excel in. Here are all of Destiny 2’s tiles ranked based on how hard they are to earn. This article was written during Season of the Hunt.
Updated on March 25, 2022, by Anastasia Maillot: Each new expansion and season has brought forward new content into Destiny 2. The latest have been season 15 and season 16, Bungie’s 30th Anniversary Event, as well as The Witch Queen expansion. As a result, a lot of titles were also sunset by Bungie, and are no longer available for players to unlock. Thankfully, new titles have been released, and have been added to the list in comparison to some of the older ones that were once available. This update was completed during Season of the Risen, and features all Destiny 21 titles of the time, ranked roughly by difficulty.
30 Warden
Note that this title is sunset.
After Bungie announced that the Warden title would be available for all of Year 4, Warden has become the easiest title to earn in Destiny 2. Players simply need to achieve kills with Season of the Hunt weapons, defeat Wrathborn targets while wearing seasonal armor, and complete the Harbinger mission while all three Fireteam members are wielding Hawkmoon. This title is so easy to earn that most players will likely own it before The Witch Queen expansion launches.
29 Vidmaster
The Vidmaster title is one of the easier titles to earn in the game and was added with Bungie’s 30th Anniversary update. Most of the Triumphs focus on the Dares of Eternity six-man game mode, as well as the Grasp of Avarice dungeon.
Players also need to unlock the Forerunner Exotic sidearm and Gjallarhorn Exotic rocket launcher for this seal. The hardest part is probably having to wait for the bosses of Dares of Eternity to rotate for the Legend boss Triumph, but otherwise, it’s a fairly straightforward seal to earn. It certainly helps that Legend difficulty can be quite easily run with a fireteam of less than six if everyone knows how to get Starhorse’s favor (aka infinite heavy ammo).
28 Realmwalker
Note that this title is sunset.
Realmwalker was season 15’s unique seal and involved a bunch of Triumphs related to the seasonal story. The Triumphs for this seal were quite straightforward, involving collectibles and secrets discovered from the Shattered Realm three-man weekly activity, which would rotate between three different maps. This was also easily the “hardest” part of the title.
Another time-consuming task was finding all the Atlas Skews, which nearly puts this on par with the Cursebreaker title. The only difference is that the Skews are in far easier locations than some of Riven’s eggs, requiring only a bit of jumping tactics.
27 Dredgen
By far the easiest title to obtain in Destiny 2 is Dredgen. After Bungie removed the RNG aspects of the Malfeasance quest and Gambit badge, Dredgen has become the most common title in the game.
Players simply need to defeat opponents and other Guardians in Gambit, obtain the Malfeasance Exotic Hand Cannon and have one player deposit 75 Motes in one game without dying.
26 Forerunner
Note that this title is sunset.
Season of Arrivals introduced the Forerunner title, obtained by interacting with the Umbral Engram system extensively and completing Contact Public Events.
The hardest parts of Forerunner are time-consuming such as destroying all 50 Savathun Eyes, but the rest of the triumphs make this the easiest seasonal title to earn in Destiny 2 thus far.
25 Savior
Note that this title is sunset.
Similar to Forerunner, Savior focuses on players interacting with the seasonal game type. In this case, players must complete Sundial runs and upgrade Obelisks to complete most of this title’s triumphs.
Savior also requires players to obtain both Bastion and Devil’s Ruin. Since it’s tied with Season of Dawn, this title is currently unobtainable.
24 Risen
The title of season 16, it involves a bunch of Triumphs from the Psi-Ops battlegrounds seasonal activities and the Vox Obscura seasonal Exotic mission. Players also need to level up their rank at the War Table found at the H.E.L.M. and complete a few other minor Triumphs.

The hardest part of this seal is definitely completing Vox Obscura at Master difficulty, which can get quite overwhelming due to the sheer number of champions and because of the timed nature of the mission. The three different Psi-Ops battlegrounds on Legend difficulty can also be tough on less experienced guardians.
23 Wayfarer
Note that this title is sunset.
Wayfarer is arguably easier to obtain than most titles, but the heavy time-gatting with this title puts it higher on the list.
Players need to complete every Lost Sector from Year 1, most Lost Sectors from Year 2, complete Heroic Adventures on every planet excluding the Dreaming City and Moon, and they must obtain every item on each Year 1 planet. This includes Mercury’s Prophecy guns and Mars’s Braytech weapons.
22 Almighty
Note that this title is sunset.
Legendary Lost Sectors were the focus on Season of the Worthy. Almighty tasked players with completing these Lost Sectors, completing one without dying, and upgrading all three Seraph Bunkers to max rank.
Finally, and arguably the hardest challenge of the bunch, players needed to complete the Seraph Tower Public Event without letting enemies disrupt a tower cycle. Almighty is currently unobtainable.
21 Undying
Note that this title is sunset.
Destiny 2’s first Year 3 seasonal title was the hardest to earn by far. Players had to defeat hundreds of enemies in Vex Offensive with certain weapons, defeat Vex during Vex Invasions throughout the Moon, defeat the Undying Mind three times, and obtain every Ritual weapon that season.

Considering how grindy these Ritual weapons were to get and how repetitive Vex Offensive became, it’s no surprise that this title is frequently worn by those who went through this long grind. Undying is currently unavailable.
20 MMXIX
Note that this title is sunset.
MMXIX was a title players could earn towards the end of Year 2 that tasked players with doing a little bit of everything. Obtaining the upgraded Solstice armor set, completing Pinnacle weapon quests, and beating raids were just a few requirements that this title required.
Besides the raid requirements, obtaining MMXIX was rather passive for any dedicated Destiny player. MMXIX is currently unobtainable.
19 MMXXI
Bungie’s Moments of Triumph MMXXI seal once more had players completing a bunch of different quests and tasks in order to unlock this rare title. Many of the quests were quite long-winded, involving kills in playlist activities using seasonal weapons like Ascendancy, Null Composure, Salvager’s Salvo, and Adored. Triumphs involving older seasons like Season of the Splicer were also included.
It also forced newer players to return to very old grindy quests such as the Wrathborn hunts, but also included raid completions like Vault of Glass and Deep Stone Crypt, which aren’t accessible easily for solo players.
18 Cursebreaker
There are few titles in Destiny 2 that have as many time-gatted triumphs associated with them as Cursebreaker. Players will need to defeat every Blind Well boss that rotates weekly, visit the Queen’s Court—which is only available every three weeks—collect every Ahamkara bone, and break all 40 hidden Dreaming City eggs.
The last two challenges are particularly rough as they are locked behind the six weekly rotating Ascendant Challenges. Cursebreaker’s hardest triumph is completing Shattered Throne, but this shouldn’t take more than one or two days to complete for a first-timer.
17 Splintered
Similar to the Cursebreaker title, Splintered is a title focused on finding collectibles. Guardians will have to explore every part of Europa to find every Penguin Souvenir, Augment Triumph, Entropic Shard, and Dead Exo.
None of these Triumphs are particularly challenging. Splintered is mostly a time-gated title that requires players to wait at least eight weeks before they can earn it—mainly due to the Augmented Obsession Triumph.
16 MMXX
Note that this title is sunset.
MMXX is almost the same as MMXIX from Year 2. This title asks players to complete every Year 1 and 2 raid, complete weekly activities, and obtain a Magnificent Solstice armor set.
The grind in Year 3 is higher than it was in Year 2, but the overall requirements for obtaining this title haven’t changed much. Players only have to complete 28 out of 30 available triumphs to claim this title as well.
15 Chronicler
Note that this title is sunset.
Chronicler makes Cursebreaker’s time-gatted triumphs look tame in comparison. Players will need to wait for certain story missions to appear and complete the Truth to Power lore entry. This book is notable in that only one entry can be obtained every three weeks from the Dreaming City.
It has 11 entries, so it takes 33 weeks to earn if the player starts during week one of the Dreaming City curse. Players will also need to destroy all 40 Dreaming City eggs for the Marasenna book.
14 Descendant
Most Destiny 2 players agree that the Deep Stone Crypt is the easiest raid in the game currently. It should come as no surprise, then, that many players find the associated Descendant title rather easy to obtain.

Besides standard raid Triumphs such as completing the raid with matching Subclass elements, Descendant’s raid challenges are rather easy. Red Rover is arguably the hardest of the bunch, yet it still pales in comparison to what other raid titles demand. Fireteams that can beat this raid will have an easy time obtaining this title.
That said, it’s still a raid title. Completing pinnacle PvE content such as this is a massive task for more casual players. If players aren’t comfortable communicating in a group setting, Descendant is all but impossible to earn.
13 Shadow
Note that this title is sunset.
Completing Menagerie runs and Crown of Sorrow challenges are the focus of Shadow. Players will need to defeat every Heroic boss flawlessly, complete every Crown of Sorrow challenge, and beat Crown of Sorrow with no deaths.
It’s a tall order for more casual players or those not in a clan, but those that can brave Destiny’s raids shouldn’t have trouble obtaining this.
12 Harbinger
Nightmare Hunts and Pit of Heresy are the two main activities that are tied to Harbinger. Completing time trials of Nightmare Hunts on Master difficulty is arguably the hardest triumph for this title.
Completing Pit of Heresy solo and completing another run without dying is also a significant challenge for most.
11 Enlightened
Garden of Salvation has plenty of strange triumphs tied to it. Earning Enlightened will require most of these triumphs to be earned. Players will need to obtain Divinity, complete each encounter in an unorthodox way, and complete every encounter with the fireteam using the same Subclass element.
It’s one of the easier titles associated with a raid, but that doesn’t detract from how difficult Destiny’s raids can get.
