History of Derelict Leviathan

The Derelict Leviathan was the patrol destination of Season of the Haunted: the transfigured remains of Calus's Leviathan. According to Destinypedia it is no longer accessible since the release of Lightfall.

Overview

After Calus experimented with extradimensional fungi, the Leviathan became derelict, dilapidated and overgrown with Darkness-enhanced flora. Calus formed a psychic connection from the ship to the Lunar Pyramid beneath the Moon, turning the vessel into an extension of that structure and summoning Nightmares to haunt it. The ship had vanished from Nessus's orbit before returning in this state.

Getting there

Available as a seasonal destination during Season of the Haunted; Destinypedia places it near Luna.

Regions

• Castellum, the main landing zone.
• Royal Pools, left of the Castellum entrance (look for the columns with Calus's face above them).
• Pleasure Gardens, reached via the Calus statue.
• The Tribute Hall, where the Duality dungeon begins.

Activities

• Public event: Nightmare Containment (Castellum only).
• Story missions: Operation: Midas, Sever, Catharsis.
• Dungeon: Duality.
• The Royal Pools and Pleasure Gardens have no public events but constantly spawn Ultra Nightmares and occasional Haunted Alcoves.

History

Season of the Haunted ran 24 May to 23 August 2022 (Destinypedia) as the seventeenth season and part of Destiny 2: The Witch Queen's annual pass. Wikipedia notes the Leviathan had been vaulted by Destiny 2: Beyond Light in November 2020 and came back in this season. Destinypedia's season page says the derelict ship returns to orbit around the Moon, with Calus now serving the Witness; the Nessus-orbit claim above is Destinypedia's Derelict Leviathan page, so the two pages differ on where it sat. Season's story: Eris Morn, Commander Zavala, Empress Caiatl and Crow work to sever Calus's psychic link to the Pyramid. Season gear included the exotic sidearm Trespasser.

Notes

Calus Bobblehead locations across Castellum, Royal Pools, Pleasure Gardens and Sever were a week-one seasonal triumph.
