Destiny 2's Season of Defiance gives Guardians a chance to become Queensguard. This season features a new title for players to chase, and it's arguably one of Destiny 2's harder title farms due to one specific challenge. Completing the Avalon Exotic mission on Legend difficulty is no easy task for most.
If you don't mind completing Legendary content, Queensguard is a fantastic title for showcasing your skill and dedicated towards PvE content. This guide will go over how to complete all 12 Triumph requirements for the Queensguard title, providing tips and tricks for completing each one as quickly as possible.
Unbowed, Unbent
Unbowed, Unbent: Complete every step in the "We Stand Unbroken" quest line.
"We Stand Unbroken" is this season's main questline, obtained by completing the introductory Lightfall campaign mission and visiting the holoprojector on Neomuna. This Triumph requires you to complete Defiance's seasonal storyline. The quest itself is straightforward, requiring you to finish Defiant Battlegrounds and some unique story missions. Finish the quest to finish the Triumph.
Defiant Keyholder
Defiant Keyholder: Gain bonus rewards by using a Defiant Key at the end of Season of Defiance Battlegrounds.
Defiant Keyholder requires you to use 15 Defiant Keys in Season of Defiance Battlegrounds. Defiant Keys are used to open a reward chest at the end of the activity. You can earn these keys by completing non-seasonal activities, notably ritual activities. Be sure you have the Ascendant Scepter Artifact, acquired from the War Table at the H.E.L.M., to receive keys as an end-of-match reward.
Stand On The Table
Stand on the Table: Acquire upgrades from the War Table in the H.E.L.M.
Season of Defiance has 11 War Table upgrades you must unlock. These upgrades are unlocked by completing Season of Defiance Seasonal Challenges. You can view them by heading to the Seasonal Challenges portion of your quests tab. Complete all 11 challenges and purchase the War Table upgrades at the H.E.L.M. to finish this Triumph.
Country Radio
Country Radio: Listen to radio messages in the Farm.
The Farm is a social space located in the EDZ. Visit the destination and interact with the holoprojector six times to finish this challenge. You'll need to complete the "We Stand Unbroken" quest to access all six messages.
Bend Toward Justice
Bend Toward Justice: Acquire Favors of Justice in a Season of Defiance activity.
Bend Toward Justice requires you to generate 100 Favors of Justice in either Defiant Battlegrounds or the Avalon Exotic mission. You'll need to unlock the 'Exemplar of Justice' upgrade at the War Table and land ability kills to generate Favors of Justice. We recommend farming the first encounter of the Avalon Exotic mission to get this done quickly.
Grace Under Fire
Grace Under Fire: Acquire Favors of Grace in a Season of Defiance activity.
Grace Under Fire requires you to generate 100 Favors of Grace in Season of Defiance content. You'll need the 'Exemplar of Grace' War Table upgrade and must land Special weapon kills to spawn this type of Favor. Grab your favorite Trace Rifle or Glaive and farm the first encounter of the Avalon Exotic mission to finish this quickly.
Zeal Appeal
Zeal Appeal: Acquire Favors of Zeal in a Season of Defiance activity.
Zeal Appeal requires you to generate 100 Favors of Zeal in Season of Defiance content. As with other Favors, you'll need to unlock the 'Exemplar of Zeal' War Table upgrade to spawn them. Heavy weapon kills will spawn Favors of Zeal, so we highly recommend farming the first encounter of the Avalon Exotic mission. Rally Banners will let you restock on Heavy ammo before you start farming kills.
Big Game Banisher
Big Game Banisher: Defeat Champions or bosses in the Defiant Battlegrounds playlist.
While you're in the Defiant Battlegrounds playlist, you must defeat 75 Champions or bosses. Both the Normal and Legend variants count for this Triumph, but we recommend farming the Normal playlist to access matchmaking. Focus on killing Champions whenever they spawn, and you can expect to compete this in a few play sessions.
Legendary Trifecta
Legendary Trifecta: Complete Defiant Battlegrounds on Legend difficulty in the EDZ, Cosmodrome, and the Orbital Prison.
The wording of this Triumph is simply asking you to complete the Legend version of all Defiant Battleground missions. The Legend Defiant Battleground playlist features one of these missions each week, rotating at weekly reset. Jump into the playlist once a week and clear the mission to finish this Triumph.
Ctrl-Alt-Complete
Ctrl-Alt-Complete: Complete each of the 3 //node.ovrd.AVALON// quests.
The Avalon Exotic mission features three weekly quests that empower the Vexcalibur Exotic Glaive. After completing the mission, visit the H.E.L.M. and complete the weekly missions that appear. We cover these objectives in our Vexcalibur guide.
Disable Safety Routines
Disable Safety Routines: Complete //node.ovrd.AVALON// on Legend difficulty or higher.
Legend Avalon is arguably the hardest PvE activity in Destiny 2 currently, comparable to GM Nightfalls and Master raids. This activity demands endgame weapons, good builds, and a good bit of patience. While we can't help with that last part, we do have some useful build guides for all three classes you can check at the end of this section.
As for the activity itself, survivability is paramount. You need to spec for 100 Resilience, use DR mods on your chest, and utilize some subclass verb or Fragment to keep yourself alive—Restoration, Woven Mail, Whisper of Chains, etc. We also recommend you play this either solo or duo. Each person in your fireteam will scale the difficulty of this activity, so don't bring more than one person.
Beyond our Avalon walkthrough, we have some PvE builds linked below you can use to complete this. We've personally used our Strand Hunter, Solar Titan, and Solo Warlock builds to complete this mission solo. It's doable but is going to take some practice.
Scourge Of Light
Scourge of Light: Defeat combatants with Season of Defiance weapons.
Scourge of Light requires you to defeat 250 enemies with Season of Defiance weapons. Defiance weapons include Perpetualis, Prodigal Return, Regnant, Caretaker, Raconteur, and Royal Executioner. We recommend using Perpetualis or Caretaker in an add-dense environment. The Avalon mission, Shuro Chi encounter in Last Wish, and most Neomuna Lost Sectors are solid kill farms.
