The Raid That Was Set Up & Doomed to Fail - Destiny 2

This is the raid that was set up and doomed to Fail in Destiny 2. Meet the Leviathan, a raid that has DEFINITELY AGED WELL WITH TIME in terms of mechanics, systems, and more. At the time though, this raid was the highest point of Destiny 2's hate train and it made sense, but there was still a lot to love. Meet Calus, The Baths, Gauntlet, The Gardens, and the underbelly in this launch to the Destiny 2 raid series!

Thank you all I am tired, it's 7:30am and this took 50+ hours

Thanks to Calus for the voice lines! This raid was doomed to fail from the start due to rushed development and pressure by Activision as well systems in the game at the time, but this one to me has aged well! Enjoy!

Idk why but I absolutely love calus' character. Like he saw the darkness and was like "welp I guess nothing matters and we're all gonna die" so he made the world's best party boat and decided to eat worlds and steal their species and artifacts for fun.

Man, remember when 20 was the character level cap? Oh wait, I should rephrase that.
Man, remember character levels?

Sweatcicle feeds Calus a new exotic every week.

I dont care what anyone says, i love Leviathan. Its such a great, laid back raid that’s fun to run while chatting with clan mates. Its not stressful or difficult, just fun to play

[lukefurno]

Tbh Calus wasn’t much of a surprise if you got the collectors edition of Vanilla D2
Had a whole book detailing Calus inviting us onto the Leviathan and everything

I’ve been playing this raid recently to hunt the catalysts, and it’s honestly not a bad raid. It’s still one of the raids following the formula I hate where if one tiny part of an encounter is messed up you’ve pretty much got to wipe, but aside from that it’s all really enjoyable, and the underbelly is still one of the most interesting ideas brought into any of the raids.

I Sherpaed over 100 first time teams through this raid using LFG. As someone who didn't play Destiny 1 at all, this experience was amazing and felt great to teach people every little tip and trick there is to learn. I have over 300 completions of leviathan lol

[pheonixgaming]

Little do most people know, Floridians (for the most part) couldn’t compete in leviathan due to hurricane Irma making the power go out. (And internet wasn’t back for an extra week after that for most)

*Alright the raid might have sucked, but the shaders are beautiful*

*Super Smash TV flashbacks intensify*

“It’s basically Mario kart but with your feet” lmao

[the_ZAMURAI]

This raid was great; idk why everyone always says “it was polarizing” cuz no one I’ve talked to has said anything but praises for it

[brock.]

Calus may be the impostor of this raid but he does give us some nice shaders

[Aichi]

"Imagine an boss in the underbelly"

So...The entire eater of worlds raid? Or Expanded strike as it should be called?

[abstraksone]

I’m mad evan didn’t talk about the loot a palooza and the dance party key. Plus, apparently you can still get it

[Silkie_Dragon]

Love how the raid really shows how powerful Calus is by showing us how we consider a GAME of his to be a worthy opponent to go up against life or death. It really puts into perspective that we couldn’t have beaten him if he REALLY wanted us dead there

[AdrianArmbruster]

I'm pretty sure the Dreadnaught is actually quite a bit larger than the Leviathan. Nessus is actually really small, it just makes the Levi look massive in comparison.

It wasnt until I played Destiny raids, that I realized there’s a lot of stupid humans
