Destiny 2 Sundered Doctrine The Drowning Labyrinth Quest – Complete Guide

Destiny 2’s Sundered Doctrine dungeon introduces a secret quest called “The Drowning Labyrinth.” Here’s a full guide on how to complete each step.

Destiny 2’s latest dungeon, Sundered Doctrine, is finally here, and it’s packed with new weapons and armor. The dungeon takes place inside Rhulk’s Pyramid Ship, bringing back some familiar mechanics from Vow of the Disciple, but with new challenges.

Players can earn a brand-new exotic linear fusion rifle, Finality’s Auger, alongside some powerful new legendary weapons like the Unvoiced shotgun, Unworthy scout rifle, and Unsworn trace rifle.

But beyond the loot, there’s a new quest called The Drowning Labyrinth, which involves finding some secrets in the dungeon. If you’ve been wondering how to start it and what to do next, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a full step-by-step guide on how to complete it.

Destiny 2: How to Complete “The Drowning Labyrinth” Quest in Sundered Doctrine Dungeon

The Drowning Labyrinth is an 11-step questline, which you can pick up from Ikora Rey in the Tower Bazaar. The quest requires you to complete the dungeon multiple times, find hidden worms, and solve some puzzles.

Now, let’s go through the first five steps, what they require, and how to complete them. Feel free to bookmark this article. (thanks, Skarrow9)

Step 1: Complete the Dungeon

This step is as simple as it sounds. To start the quest, you need to complete the Sundered Doctrine dungeon at any difficulty. Whether you run it on Normal or Master, you’ll get the next steps for the quest once the final boss, Kerrev, The Erased, is defeated.

Step 2: Enter the Code

After completing the dungeon, the next step is to find the Hidden Base Camp, which is located at the very beginning of the dungeon. You actually run past it right before the bridge.

To complete this step, look for a table with scattered papers. Walk up to it and pick up the Hidden report to move forward. Once you’ve grabbed the report, you’ll need to enter a code into the Pyramid’s machinery—which is a giant wheel located on the far left of the room—inside the base camp.

Enter the following code by shooting the symbols on the wheel:

• Savathûn Symbol
• Enter Symbol
• Pyramid Symbol

The correct code to input here is “Savathûn Enters the Pyramid.” Entering this progresses the quest and unlocks the next steps.

Step 3: Find Hidden Worms

Now, things get more interesting. Your next task is to find three hidden Hive Worms, which were part of Rhulk’s experiments, and defeat a group of Dread enemies who are analyzing Pyramid technology.

Worm #1 Location:

After leaving the Hidden Base Camp, you’ll cross a bridge. Underneath the bridge, there’s a secret platform where you’ll find the first Worm.

Look at the back wall near the Worm, there should be a Witness symbol. Take note of this, as it will be important later.

Worm #2 Location:

Continue through the dungeon until after the first encounter. You’ll reach a large cavern with Pyramid structures and Dread enemies after the maze. Normally, players would proceed through the right-side door, but instead, head to the back right corner.

Shoot the door to open it, similar to the ones seen in the final boss fight. You’ll find the second Worm inside. The symbol near this worm is the Give Symbol. Again, write it down.

Worm #3 Location:

Progress through the dungeon until after the second encounter, leading up to the mini-encounter before the final boss. In this area, look toward the left side, where you’ll find a door that can be interacted with.

Open it, and you’ll find the third Worm. The symbol near this worm is the Darkness Symbol.

Step 4: Enter Another Code

With all three worms collected, it’s time to go back to the Hidden Base Camp and enter another code. Use the symbols you found next to the worms and enter:

“Witness Gives Darkness.”

Once this is done, a message about the Pyramid shifting will appear. This opens up a new puzzle in the dungeon. Now, go back into the dungeon and make your way toward the first traversal section. Here, see a bunch of Dread enemies as well as a Hive Shrieker.

Defeat them and collect Knowledge Fragments, which are scattered on the ground. These work just like the Knowledge mechanics in Vow of the Disciple. Once you collect enough, deposit them on the giant orange plate in the back of the room.

When this is done, a door behind the plate opens, revealing a scannable terminal. Interacting with it completes this step.

Step 5: Complete the Dungeon Again

This step requires you to complete the dungeon once again. However, to make things easier, you can simply grab a checkpoint of the final boss and complete it and it will progress the quest.

Step 6: Wait for the Hidden Researchers to Complete Their Study

At this point, the quest stops progressing, as we’ve reached the time gate. The in-game text suggests that we need to wait for the Hidden to finish studying the information before we can move forward.

It’s currently unclear how long this time-gate will last, but the earliest possible date for more quest steps is Tuesday, February 11, 2025, after the weekly reset.
