History of Grandmaster: Broodhold

Overview

'''Grandmaster: Broodhold''' is a Triumph in Destiny 2. It requires completing the Broodhold Nightfall Strike on Grandmaster difficulty. This triumph is tied to Season 12. Broodhold is a strike on the Tangled Shore released with Destiny 2: Forsaken, so the strike requires that expansion.

How to complete

1. Launch the Broodhold Nightfall on Grandmaster difficulty.
2. Summon a Sparrow and follow the waypoints into the cave.
3. Clear the Hive and Fallen enemies in the room and the growth that must be cleared with them. Anânh, Brood Queen spawns several seconds after both are cleared.
4. The boss uses Solar attacks until it reaches two-thirds health. It then changes into a Void-damage Shade.
5. Hive enemies in the strike include Thrall, Cursed Thrall, Acolyte, Wizard, Knight, Ogre and Shrieker. Fallen enemies include Dreg, Vandal and Captain.
6. A solo Grandmaster run is shown in the video linked under sources.

Seal and reward

This triumph is one of the six Grandmaster Nightfall triumphs in the Conqueror seal. Completing all six awards Total Conquest automatically. The seal's other triumphs are Lightbearer, Breaker of Champions and Conqueror's Discipline. Completing the full seal unlocks the Conqueror title, which can be gilded once per season by completing every Grandmaster Nightfall of that season.

Availability

Grandmaster Nightfalls were removed in Update 9.0.0.1 with Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate on July 15, 2025. Nightfalls now run on a daily rotation covering all strikes and Battlegrounds, and The Portal offers Grandmaster-difficulty versions of PvE activities in their place.
