Destiny 2’s Monument of Triumph Update Triggers Raid-Boss Launch Glitch

The Titan bubble (Ward of Dawn) can be equipped, fired into its core, then carried into raid arena; dropping it behind Morgeth, Insurrection Prime or Atheon sends boss off a ledge or into Sun. A glitch lets an artifact perk fill slots, boosting super damage.

On June 9, 2026 Bungie released the Monument of Triumph patch, billed as Destiny 2’s final major update. It added new Exotic catalysts, Tier 5 armor sets, fresh Aspects and abilities, and a full Pantheon boss run. The launch caused server and login spikes due to high player demand.

Bungie remains the developer responsible for the live service. The glitch was first highlighted by player Inspitefuls, who posted a Twitter video showing the Morgeth exploit. Community members have replicated the method on Insurrection Prime and Atheon, sharing step-by-step guides on forums and social media.

Bungie has publicly stated that its ongoing priority is fixing periodic bugs. In reference to the raid-boss launch and artifact-stacking glitches, a Bungie spokesperson confirmed both issues are classified as bugs and will be examined for correction in upcoming patches.

Some players argue the exploit trivializes raid challenges and could diminish long-term engagement. Others note that, given Destiny 2’s end-of-life status, the community may tolerate temporary shortcuts, but the debate underscores tension between preserving game integrity and accepting a permanent state of reduced difficulty.

Sources confirm Morgeth, Insurrection Prime and Atheon can be launched, but also suggest additional bosses may be exploitable without verification. Bungie has not released an official list of affected content, leaving the full scope of the glitch undocumented.

• “The glitch is easy to execute: Step 1: Be a Titan Step 2: Equip Ward of Dawn Step 3: Shoot a bunch of crossbow bolts into the new central core of Ward of Dawn Step 4: Pick it up and run at the boss Step 5: Watch the boss launch off a ledge or straight into the sun Step 6: Collect rewards This is possible because the newly added core is a physical object, and so are crossbow bolts, so combine those, and that triggers some sort of fus ro dah effect on bosses as you wield what is a cross between a landmine and a spiked mace.” — Paul Tassi, Forbes
