Quick Links
Destiny 2's Season of the Haunted takes place on the Moon and aboard the Leviathan, Calus' planet-eating ship that was once the host to multiple Raids before being vaulted. The locations onboard the ship are familiar because they are the same as the ones from the old Destiny 2 Raids, but they are different when it comes to the environment and the enemies found there. Players interested in learning where to find Opulent Keys and Opulent Chests on the Leviathan can follow this quick guide.
How to Get Opulent Keys
Opulent Keys are items exclusive to Season of the Haunted, and players can only hold one of them at any given time, even if they come in multiple variations. There are currently two ways of getting Opulent Keys in Destiny 2.
The first method is quite straightforward, as it requires players to complete the introductory mission called The Leviathan Returns. This is not bestowed upon players as soon as they log into the game, but rather it can be acquired after completing the first few quests to obtain the seasonal artifact for Season of the Haunted.
In order to complete the first step of the quest, Destiny 2 players will need to complete multiple tiers of the Nightmare Containment activity in the Castellum area, and then explore the Pleasure Gardens and the Royal Pools. Here, players will be tasked with completing patrols or opening chests to forward the mission's progress bar.
At the end of the quest, players can go back to the HELM and interact with the Crown of Sorrow to get a guaranteed Opulent Key.
The second way to obtain Opulent Keys is to complete full tiers of the Nightmare Containment activity, which will spawn a loot chest at the end of the final tier. Players have a chance of getting an Opulent Key every time they open the chest.
Where to Find Opulent Chests - Pleasure Gardens
Opulent Chests can be found in multiple locations in the Pleasure Gardens and the Royal Pools area of the Derelict Leviathan.
To access the Pleasure Gardens, Destiny 2 players must go to the Castellum area where a big portal with several pillars stands. They will need to enter the hallway and follow the path until the loading zone changes to Pleasure Gardens, where the "dog encounter" of the old Leviathan Raid took place.
There are multiple locations for Opulent Chests in the area, and players will get an indication of where to go by reading the text on the Opulent Key.
For example, there is an Opulent Key that requires players to find an Opulent Chest near a trusted companion, which is the statue of the Cabal War Beast in the room.
Where to Find Opulent Chests - Royal Pools
Similar to the Pleasure Gardens, Royal Pools also have multiple Opulent Chests to discover.
To access the Leviathan ship's Royal Pools area, Destiny 2 players will have to look for the hallway on the top left part of the room when spawning in Castellum. They must follow the path until the loading zone changes to Royal Pools.
Destiny 2 players will again need to read the text on the Opulent Key for a clue on where to look, with an example being an Opulent Key that states "among stately columns," which will be near the actual pools in the area.
Other Opulent Chests are found nearby, but they can only be opened if players have the key needed for those specific ones.
Destiny 2 is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
