History of ETERNAL

ETERNAL is the title for the Rite of the Nine event (May 6 to July 15, 2025 per Fandom; Bungie's account announced it as available to all players), which rotated three free dungeons (Spire of the Watcher, Ghosts of the Deep and Prophecy) with Eternity and Ultimatum difficulties.

Overview

• Activity: Rite of the Nine.
• Title granted: ETERNAL.
• Status: event-limited. TheGamer's timeline lists Prophecy unlocking June 3, all Elegant Arsenal quests June 10 and continuous farming from June 17. Game Rant notes the title ends before a later expansion. Treat dates as event-run specific and check in-game.
• Count: sources say ten triumphs are listed but only nine are needed.
• Gilding and time: no checked source (Game Rant, TheGamer, Sportskeeda) mentions gilding. Time is not stated. Ultimatum Gold runs are the bottleneck.

Required triumphs

• Seasoned Dungeoneer: complete all three "Into the Dungeon" quests from Orin.
• Foiled Again: complete all nine Elegant Arsenal quests (three per dungeon), which award curated weapon rolls.
• Running the Gauntlet: complete a Dungeon Gauntlet (mixed encounters from the dungeons) from start to finish.
• Seeker of the Nine: find all six hidden collectibles (two per dungeon, golden engrams found in platforming sections) in any mode.
• Gold scores (the fireteam may die at most twice per encounter on Eternity, once on Ultimatum): Who Watches (Spire, Eternity), Peak of the Spire (Spire, Ultimatum), Down in the Depths (Ghosts, Eternity), The Deepest Commitment (Ghosts, Ultimatum), As Was Foretold (Prophecy, Eternity) and Vision of the Future (Prophecy, Ultimatum).

Ultimatum clears do not count toward the Eternity triumphs, so each dungeon needs at least two clears.
