Destiny 2: Tribute Hall - how to get started and earn Tributes

Guide by Lauren Aitken Contributor
Published on

The Tribute Hall is the latest in-game event in Destiny 2, and you'll be collecting all manner of trophies for Emperor Calus.

You'll be able to pick up new Champion Bounties, which reward you with Boons of Opulence from the Visage of Calus. You'll be able to claim up to four rewards per day, and you'll raise your tribute discount by 1% for each Boon you deliver.

There are several tributes from each enemy type, as well a bunch of Statues to find. The maximum discount you can get is 80%, but it'll be worth it to get that sweet loot and a shiny new Emblem.

There's also a number Triumphs for the Tribute Hall where you defeat Guardians in the Crucible wearing Calus-themed armour and weapons earned from either the Menagerie or Leviathan raid.

The Moments of Triumph event has also started, where you can earn new rewards and unlock Triumphs by completing certain milestones and activities.

Destiny 2: Tribute Hall

The Tribute Hall is basically like a test centre for different weapons and playstyles and you can also recharge your ammo and Super bar before you leave. It's rumoured that in Year 3 - or perhaps even as far as in Destiny 3 - we'll have our own ship with a private Tribute Hall of our own.

To get started, visited Werner 99-44 on the Nessus Barge and open the new chest beside him, which will cost you 5000 Glimmer. You'll then receive an Invitation from the Emperor to visit the Tribute Hall, which you can find beside the Menagerie.

Speak with the large Visage of Calus in the centre of the room to unlock the first four bounties available. Once you've completed your first bounty, turn it in then head back to the Tribute Hall to place your Tribute. You'll receive a Triumph for placing your first Tribute called Novice Curator.

It'll open up a new section of the Tribute Hall, so have a wander around to find some bits of Lore.

When you're in the Tribute Hall, Tributes will simulate opponents, ammo and more to unlock specific loot. Thanks to the dedicated Destiny 2 Redditer JpDeathBlade for compiling this list of possible enemies and items.
