Destiny: 10 Things You Must Do Before Rise Of Iron
The ultimate checklist to get the most out of Bungie's divisive masterpiece.
You're likely still addicted to Destiny and play it regularly... or you hate the game with such a burning passion, no amount of groaning online will say otherwise. Easily one of the most divisive games to come out in recent memory, at this stage Destiny has alienated you altogether, or sunk its hook deep.
Love or hate it, it cannot be denied there's still a very loyal fanbase logging in daily. And with such an amount of people burning through everything Destiny has to offer (and then some), regular content drops are no surprise. However, time-specific events like Festival of the Lost and Sparrow League Racing just weren't enough to satisfy the hunger fans had, which brought forth the new Rise of Iron expansion which drops in September.
The new expansion is going to bring new armour, weapons, strikes, a new raid and more. With all this new content coming in, and in order to get prepared, there's some things Destiny players must do before Rise of Iron.

10. Complete The Moments Of Triumph From Year Two
Players will remember back before The Taken King, Bungie rolled out the Moments of Triumph. It issued a challenge to guardians to complete both the Crota and Atheon raids on hard, collect all ghosts and more. If guardians achieved all the goals put in front of them they received an exclusive emblem - a little anticlimactic, no?
Well now, Bungie has rolled out Moments of Triumph for Year Two. Here's everything included:
- Challenge of the Elders: Complete an Elder’s Sigil scorecard in the Prison of Elders. - The Play’s the Thing: Complete the Taken King main questline, culminating in “Regicide”. - The Third Element: Equip a fully leveled Year Two subclass on any character. - This is Amazing: Complete the Crucible questline culminating in “The Mountaintop.”- Eris Morn’s Revenge: Collect all 50 Calcified Fragments - A Blade Reborn: Complete any of the Exotic sword quests from Shaxx - Return to the Reef: Complete the April quests “At the Gates” and “Return to the Prison” - The Sword Logic: Defeat Oryx in the King’s Fall Raid on Hard difficulty
Each task accomplished earns you XP in the Moments of Triumph book, which Guardians have waiting for them at the Postmaster.
Earning enough XP will unlock up to two shaders and two emblems. All the tasks are doable, with the most "challenging" being the collecting of all 50 Calcified Fragments. Complete them all, and you're going into Rise of Iron knowing you've completed everything that was truly to offer from Year Two.
