Destiny 2 Player Exploits Pantheon Boss Cheese for Spoils

A Destiny 2 player has found a glitch that can delete Pantheon bosses from the battlefield in under a minute, letting Guardians farm Spoils of Conquest and Raid rewards almost instantly—an approach that matters now because Monument of Triumph is the game’s final major update and players are actively testing every edge case.

What happened: a solo Pantheon glitch built around the Titan bubble

A Destiny 2 player going by the name Inspitefuls posted a demonstration of a glitch they claim can turn Pantheon boss fights into a near-instant farm. The method is described as workable completely solo and focuses on Morgeth, a Pantheon boss, with a setup that can reportedly be completed in less than a minute.

Inspitefuls’ approach centers on shooting crossbow bolts into the orb associated with a reworked Destiny 2 Titan bubble introduced as part of Monument of Triumph. After the bolts are used to interact with the orb, the player then carries that orb behind or beneath the boss. The crucial part of the technique is that the orb eventually triggers the boss’s removal from the map—effectively ending the encounter in seconds rather than through a normal damage phase.

The post frames this as more than a one-boss oddity. According to Inspitefuls, the same process can be used on every Pantheon boss, suggesting the interaction isn’t unique to Morgeth’s arena geometry.

Why it matters: faster Spoils farming after Monument of Triumph’s final update

Monument of Triumph was released as Destiny 2’s final update, and the source notes it arrived with a wide bundle of content, including new Exotic catalysts, weapon reprising with fresh perks, Tier 5 armor sets with strong bonuses, and new Aspects and abilities for all elements. It also included a full Pantheon boss run—meaning players have a reason to return and push endgame activity immediately.

With that context, a glitch that enables a one-minute route to Spoils of Conquest and other Raid rewards changes incentives. Even if the community treats the method as unintended, the practical appeal is obvious: it reduces time investment and potentially increases the pace of loot acquisition, especially for players targeting Raid drops.

The source also highlights that Monument of Triumph drove heavy demand, contributing to server and login issues. That timing matters because large influxes of players typically accelerate bug discovery and spread. When the player base is already motivated to test new systems, glitches can move from “nobody knows yet” to “widely shared” quickly.

What to watch next: whether Bungie addresses it and how the community responds

Because the method is explicitly described as a glitch, the next question is whether Bungie will adjust the underlying interaction in a follow-up response. The source doesn’t mention any patch or hotfix, so players can’t assume a fix is already in place.

In the meantime, expect community behavior to split: some Guardians may attempt to replicate the method for rapid Spoils farming, while others may avoid it due to the risk of it being disabled or considered an exploit.

For esports viewers and high-end players, the broader takeaway is that Pantheon encounters—especially after a major “final update” window—can still be vulnerable to unexpected mechanics. That makes legitimate clears and speedrun-style routes harder to compare until the community reaches a stable understanding of what’s reproducible without relying on unintended interactions.

Practical takeaways for players right now

  • If you’re farming Pantheon, be aware a solo glitch has been shared that claims to remove bosses from the map in under a minute.
  • The reported setup involves crossbow bolts interacting with the orb tied to the Titan bubble reworked in Monument of Triumph.
  • Community reports suggest the technique may work beyond Morgeth, but it hasn’t been verified in the source beyond the creator’s claim.
  • Given the exploit nature, keep an eye on future changes—Bungie may alter Titan bubble/orb interactions if this spreads widely.
  • With Monument of Triumph driving high demand, performance and login issues may continue to affect how smoothly players can test new strategies.

Expert View

This kind of glitch is a reminder that “final update” doesn’t mean “final polish.” When a live game ships a major endgame package like Pantheon content, the community will always probe mechanics for shortcuts—especially when loot incentives like Spoils of Conquest are on the line. For Bungie, the challenge is balancing rapid responsiveness with the reality that even small interaction changes (like Titan bubble/orb behavior) can ripple into unintended boss outcomes. For the scene, it also complicates how players measure efficiency: until fixes land, “fast clears” may reflect exploit mastery as much as buildcraft.
