'''The Shattered Throne''' is a [[Dungeon]] that was introduced in [[Forsaken]], and released on the 25th of September, 2018. It requires [[Guardian]]s to enter [[Eleusinia]], [[Queen]] [[Mara Sov]]'s Throne World, where they fight their way past a horde of [[Taken]], in order to uncover the [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return|source]] of the [[Dreaming City]]'s [[Taken]] corruption following the [[Last Wish]] [[Raid]]. Before [[Shadowkeep]] was released, and during the [[Forsaken]] expansion, it was available every three weeks during the full curse week in the Dreaming City,  and upon the release of [[Shadowkeep]], it is now available at any time from an icon in the Director. It should be noted that the dungeon has checkpoints, so if you need to rest or go do something else, you are able to leave and return to your last checkpoint.

==Walkthrough==
===Erebus===
[[File:Brandon-campbell-d2f-st-04.jpg|thumb|300px|The Eleusinia]]
Prior to Shadowkeep, to reach the entrance to the Shattered Throne, you had to use one of the portals scattered around the [[Dreaming City]] to enter the Confluence. Following the path to the central room on a Strong Curse week, you would see a giant Taken gateway in a large room, with a [[Techeun]] standing in front of it. Approaching the gateway and following the prompt it gives would allow you to enter the Shattered Throne. It is still possible to reach this gateway, but it is purely cosmetic and isn't required to reach the Shattered Throne.

Upon entering Mara Sov's throne world, you will see a large door in front of you. Have your fireteam go through that door, and enter the labyrinth. Continue to advance until you enter a restricted zone. It should be at one end of a broken bridge. On the other side of the chasm, you'll see a group of [[Taken Acolyte]]s and a [[Taken Knight]] called a Labyrinth Architect. Kill them, but be wary of the Acolytes. They will constantly spawn numerous Acolyte's Eyes until they are defeated. Once you kill all the enemies (which doesn't have to include the acolyte eyes, but is recommended) and the miniboss, a symbol will pop up. 

Travel to the location with the corresponding symbol. There you will find another Taken miniboss, along with a group of Acolytes. Kill them. Once all the enemies are dead, another symbol directing you to somewhere else in the map will appear. Go there. Repeat this process until you have to go back to where you came from. While on the way from destination to destination, various Taken enemies will spawn to block your path, such as Phalanxes, Captains, and hordes of Thrall. There will also be Taken Hobgoblins sniping you from above. It is not required to kill them, but it is highly recommended as it will make this entire section easier.

Once you have gone to every location, you will be directed to go back to the start, where you will face one final group of Acolytes and a Labyrinth Architect in the form of a [[Taken Captain]]. Kill them and jump down the hole that will open up. Keep following the path.

After you get far enough, you should trigger a checkpoint. Jump down, kill the enemies below, and at the end of the path, there will be a boss that you need to kill named [[Asterion, Set Apart]]. There will be snipers during this portion as well. Kill the enemies and move on to the next part. 

[[File:ShatteredThrone2.jpg|thumb|300px|Shattered Throne Catwalks]]
You'll find yourself in a long hallway. On the sides are Taken Hobgoblins sniping you, along with Taken Phalanxes and Knights. Carefully take them out one by one, so that they don't trouble you as you make your way across the hall. Be especially wary of the Knights, as their fire attack can deal serious damage. When you reach the end, turn left. You'll enter a wide-open room with catwalks and a few pillars with platforms here and there. Your goal is to make it all the way to the left side. [[Taken Ogre]]s and obstacles will spawn on the platforms as you progress. Be careful and take out the Ogres as quickly as possible from a distance. Their eye blasts can easily knock you off the catwalks, which will kill you. [[Jötunn]] is excellent for this encounter, as it kills the Ogres in two shots each. Once you make it all the way to the left side of the room, you will find yourself in front of a barrier.

When you reach the barrier, go through it and you'll see that you are slower and you cannot double jump/glide/lift. There will also be a never-ending swarm of [[Shadow Thrall]] spawning around the room. Go through the maze and avoid the Shadow Thrall or dispatch as much as you can (there is an orb on a pedestal to the right of where you enter. If you jump, then melee, and do this to travel throughout the hall, you will be able to avoid a lot of damage from the Thrall). At the very end, drop down into the next area.

Follow the path. You will eventually be met with a choice: follow the outside of the rock face or go inside. Both paths take you to the same place. Either way, once you make it to the other side, you will find a large group of Taken Phalanxes. Kill them all to get to the next encounter.

===Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger===
Here you arrive at the first boss, [[Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger]]. This encounter has a special type of [[Taken Wizard]] known as the [[Keeper of Petitions]]. In order to do damage to Vorgeth, you will need to kill the Wizards and pick up the orbs they drop. You will receive a buff called "Petitioner's Mark" that stacks three times. There will also be a 45-second timer on the buff. If it reaches zero, the holder of the buff will die and you'll have to kill however many Wizards you've defeated again. Once you collect the fourth orb, the buff will change to "Petitioner's Burden," which also has a 45-second timer. Deposit the buff at one of the 4 pillars in the center of the room to start the damage phase. 

Once the damage phase is over, the Wizards and other enemies will respawn. Repeat this process as many times as it takes to kill Vorgeth. A recommended strategy for this encounter is to use a long-range primary weapon like a Scout Rifle or a Bow to kill all the ads in the room from the safe areas near the entrance. Once all of them are dead, bring all four Wizards to very low health without killing them. Then kill all four Wizards in rapid succession and deposit the buff to start damaging Vorgeth. While immune, Vorgeth will attack with powerful eye blasts that knock you back and deal severe damage. During the damage phases, he attacks with swarms of Axion Darts. Shooting the darts will destroy them and keep you safe from damage.

Once Vorgeth is dead, go through the door in the center. If this is your first time in the dungeon or you simply haven't done so before, interact with the statue. Next, jump down a series of platforms and ascend a gravitational lift. The path from there is fairly straightforward. If you get confused, just go to where the enemies are. 

At some point, you'll be given a new objective - "Ascend." 
You have two options: either go up the stairs, go forward, and then jump to the ending right away (the harder path) or turn right and then go through a series of jumping puzzles. Stick to the wall and ascend the lifts to get to the last encounter. 
===Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return===
[[File:Hive1.jpg|thumb|300px|Daughter of Savathûn,Dûl Incaru]]
[[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return]] is the final boss of The Shattered Throne. Once you start the encounter, two fairly large groups of [[Taken]] [[Psion]]s will spawn on either side of the room. Eliminate them as fast as  possible, then kill the three [[Darkblade]]s. Each one you kill will drop an orb. Pick them up. This is the start of the damage phase and you only have 45 seconds until you have to cleanse yourself in the middle of the room (the purple orb on the pedestal) or fail the encounter and have to start over again. Dul Incaru will occasionally summon a crystal near where she spawns at the encounter beginning. This will make any living Knights immune. Destroying it will revive any dead Knights at full health. Once your buff runs out, you will have to break the crystal to revive the Knights and get your buff back. Repeat this process until Dul Incaru is dead. Reducing the health of the Darkblade Knights to a low level, then killing all three to claim their buffs at once will make for an easy kill on Dul Incaru, as each stack of the buff provided will increase your damage. Gaining all three and using a Super like Thundercrash or Golden Gun with its complementary exotic (Cuirass of the Falling Star, Celestial Nighthawk) will allow Guardians to hit incredibly high numbers of damage, possibly even one-shotting Dul Incaru altogether.

===Wish-Ender Guide / Hunter's Remembrance Quest===
[[File:Shattered-throne.jpg|300px|thumb|The boss room.]]

With the release of the Witch Queen on February 22, 2022 some of the Forsaken DLC content supporting the original Wish-Ender quest was vaulted, and the quest for obtaining the exotic bow was revised, re-named, and partially simplified. Players who have partial progress on the original quest might not be able to successfully complete it depending on how far they went before the revision. A reliable option is to abandon the old one and begin again. With an experienced helper or sherpa, one can complete the steps for obtaining Wish-Ender in less than 40 minutes.

Players who are new and have attained Guardian Rank 5 should clear an empty space in their Kinteic weapon reserves (if their alternates are all filled) on their character screen. You might find the quest waiting for you already in the Exotics section at either one of the Terminal Quest Archive kiosks at the Tower or the HELM, depending on what activities you've already completed in the Forsaken content. If you don't see them there, then go visit Petra Venj in the Dreaming City. Petra will offer the quest at the top left of the dialogue when you approach. The Awoken Memento that is given when you take the quest should be transported by the same character as you proceed through the Shattered Throne Dungeon and it cannot be transferred to another character. This starts the new [[Wish-Ender]] questline, Hunter's Remembrance.

Players must then enter [[Eleusinia]] to kill 3 hidden bosses found in the Shattered Throne. 

To find [[Querim, the Waking]], the team must find a blue orb hidden atop the Tower of the Deep and bring it to the roof of the center building. There, a Siren of [[Riven]] will speak to the team. The orb must be placed in the empty hands of one of the statues. Once done, the fight begins. First, a [[Taken Minotaur]] named [[Theratos, Archersbane]] will spawn. Once you get Theratos's health low enough, Querim will spawn. To complete the fight, both the [[Minotaur]]s must be disposed of, regardless of time apart. From here, continue into the dungeon as normal until you reach the [[Ogre]] catwalks.

Next is to find [[Eriviks, the Waking]], whose arena must be unlocked with 2 orbs instead of 1. The first orb will be found in the Ogre catwalk area, where it is found behind the first pillar to the right of the beginning, and the orb is to be placed somewhere along the right side of the room (from the perspective of that first pillar, looking toward the [[Shadow Thrall]] room), where one of the statues will have no orb. The second orb is located in the "Thrallway" to the right of the entrance. The orb is to be placed at the end of this section, where the team jumps down over a railing, from the "Thrallway" into a chamber with a bunch of the statues along the sides. Just like before, you will find one statue that isn't holding an orb, and place it there. If both orbs are placed, a door on the other side of the chasm just ahead will open, revealing a hidden area where the 2nd Boss lurks. Once the team rendezvous in the room and any one of the players investigates the center area, the door will close and the second boss fight will begin. A bunch of [[Taken Psion]]s will spawn with intention to weaken and inconvenience the players, and then the boss will spawn in the aforementioned center. Once Eriviks is killed, the encounter will end and the door will reopen. Again, continue through the dungeon as normal until you make it to the Vorgeth fight.

Lastly is [[Xavoth, the Waking]], who is (inconveniently) located within the Vorgeth encounter. To advance the quest successfully, ensure that everyone on your team understands that Vorgeth must NOT be destroyed first. If Vorgeth is destroyed, any progress underway at that moment for the third Taken Boss in the quest will immediately terminate. To summon Xavoth, players must cleanse one of the sigils, getting rid of Vorgeth's shield. This happens when the Petitioner's Burden is Extinguished.

In the back of the room not far from the exit, a camouflaged [[Taken Minotaur]] called '''Fleeting Shade''' will spawn and make its way toward the platform in front of the tall exit door; killing it will drop an orb, which must be placed at one of the statues hidden along the side of the room, some distance away. Then, Xavoth will spawn; however, unlike Vorgeth, Xavoth is easier to kill, but can and will be a problem if not dealt with quickly enough. Once Xavoth is dead, resume the Vorgeth fight as normal.

Once all enemies are eliminated and the tokens are purified, the players can turn in those tokens to Sjur Eido's statue and claim the [[Wish-Ender]] bow. Remember that the Awoken Memento must be on your character to collect the Bow. It is permissible to have a teammate retain the checkpoint while you change characters at that moment if necessary, and re-join them with the Memento on the other character.
