Destiny 2 players that love certain aspects of the game can show their dedication and skill through titles. If you find the grind lacking, you can go as far as to gild a title, replacing the purple line of text with gold text instead.
Flawless is an eligible title for gilding. If you gilded this title last season, it's virtually the same process for this season. You'll need to show complete mastery of Destiny's PvP component to gild this title. Earn packages from Saint-14, carry non-flawless Guardians to the Lighthouse, and win games on a Flawless Passage are a few things you can expect.
You'll need to have earned the Flawless title to unlock these seasonal Triumphs. Progress on these challenges is not retroactive, so focus on earning the default Flawless title first.
Updated January 15, 2023, by Charles Burgar: Flawless has new gilding requirements in Season of the Seraph, requiring you to use this season's Exotic weapons to earn a Flawless Passage. The good news is this season has some solid Exotic options, notably Revision Zero. We've updated this guide to include up-to-date tips for gilding the Flawless title, updating the ritual Triumph to include this season's Exotic offerings.
Lighthouse Warrior
Lighthouse Warrior: Defeat Guardians in Trials matches.
You need to kill 180 Guardians in Trials of Osiris for this Triumph. This will passively complete itself as you focus on the other gild challenges. Just be sure that you're landing a few kills every match to make progress towards Lighthouse Warrior. You'll need to play dozens of games for some of these Triumphs anyhow, so landing a few kills each game shouldn't be a major ask.
If you haven't played Destiny 2 recently, the PvP meta is fairly varied now. Most weapon archetypes have a place to shine, but we'll give you some meta recommendations:
- 140 RPM Hand Cannons: Thorn, Ace of Spades, Eyasluna, Palindrome, and Fatebringer are some of the most popular PvP Hand Cannons right now.
- Pulse Rifles: High-Impact and Rapid-Fire Pulses are meta right now. Consider using No Time to Explain, New Purpose, or Peace of Mind.
- Fusion Rifles: Fusion Rifles are incredibly strong right now. Precisions and Adaptives are quite easy to use.
Light For The Lost
Light For The Lost: Carry Guardians to their first flawless ticket while the "Light For The Lost" emblem is equipped.
The "Light For The Lost" emblem is obtained upon opening your first flawless chest at the Lighthouse. If you dismantled it, you can reclaim it from your collections under the "miscellaneous" menu.
You'll need to carry two Guardians to the Lighthouse. Carrying means you help a Guardian win their seventh game on a Flawless Passage. If you play Trials in solo or duo queue, there's a chance you can fulfill this requirement on accident. Beyond wearing the Light for the Lost emblem, consider bringing a friend along that's also really good at Trials. You can hypothetically carry two players in the same game, but this is significantly harder to pull off than helping just one person each game.
If you need players to carry or play Trials with, check out the Destiny 2 PC LFG Discord, the100.io website, or the Bungie.net forums.
Flawless Empyrean
Flawless Empyrean: Win matches while the "Flawless Empyrean" emblem is equipped and the player is holding a seven-win ticket.
Similar to "Light For The Lost," the "Flawless Empyrean" emblem is obtained upon going flawless for the first time. You can obtain this emblem from your collections tab if you dismantled it.
You'll need to win seven games while you have a seven-win ticket for Flawless Empyrean. This is surprisingly easy to do now with the changes to Passages in Season of the Lost. For those unaware, Passages no longer track losses, only a card's ability to go Flawless. Once you get seven wins, play Trials to your heart's content. Your Passage won't be reset until you decide to do so or the weekend ends. For more info on how Trials works, consult our Trials of Osiris guide.
Guardian, I Have Gift For You
Guardian, I Have Gift For You: Earn Trials rewards from Saint-14.
Trials rewards refer to anything Saint gives you. Rewards from his reputation system and Engrams all count for this challenge. The API states that you need 100 rewards, although it seems you need far less in practice.
By far the easiest way of finishing this challenge is by earning Trials Engrams. Equip the Passage of Wealth and farm Trials matches. You'll earn more Trials rep for your third, fifth, and seventh wins on your card. Wins past seven also seem to give bonus progress, allowing you to quickly rack up some levels with Saint-14. Each level grants an Exotic Engram, and certain ranks grant additional rewards—Masterwork materials, certain weapon rolls, and Upgrade Modules.
Exotic Passage
Exotic Passage: Complete a Flawless Passage with at least one of this Season's Exotic weapons equipped.
Only Exotics introduced in the active season count for this Triumph. That means you only have two options as of Season of the Plunder:
- The Manticore: An Exotic Veist SMG that excels when used in the air.
- Revision Zero: An Exotic Pulse Rifle that is fully customizable and has a superb stat package.
- Hierarchy of Needs: An Exotic Bow that fires heat-seeking missiles when firing through a Guidance Ring.
Use Revision Zero for this Triumph. Pulse Rifles are meta currently, and Revision Zero is an excellent Primary for 1v1 duels and picking off targets from a distance. This weapon is a powerful four-round burst Pulse Rifle that can morph into a 72RPM Sniper Rifle with enough shots. It has an absurdly good stat package, a clean scope, and is easy to use. The other two Exotics aren't worth using—The Manticore and Hierarchy of Needs are both built around niche gimmicks tuned for PvE content.
