Above, run ghosts speeds and you will no longer have it as an S-Tier dungeon. Simmumah is pain 🙏
Jokes aside great video!
Hahah! Bro the moths I bet are a PAIN. Thanks brotha!
Spire was so fun to solo, last boss was pretty irritating if you don’t remember where to connect the wires.
For me I would put Pit a bit higher. But it was also my first solo flawless and I just enjoy the whole dungeon so much. Great story and great aesthetic. Unfortunate it doesn’t have its own loot like Shattered Throne also. Side note dungeon exotics are some of the best in the entire game (wishender, xenophage, Gjally). Glad we got another seemingly pretty good exotic after a few misses
Seen a few people have this sentiment! Pit is definitely one of the coolest environments in the game. And very true on the exotics, a bunch of really good ones in there!
@@AboveDestiny pit is far better than grasp
@@antonywhicker8320definitely not 1 boss and no new loot grasp had eyasluna returning plus 1000 yard and matador plus all the traps and sht is way better
@@user-kc7is3wh2u that's ur opinion,without the loot in gasp the dungeon is pants
Based Root of Nightmares take is based.
Based comment about Root of Nightmares is based
Based response to …. You know what. Never mind
I’m not 10 years old . What does based mean
@@dogsbreakfast4952I think it means average? Just taking a guess there because I don’t really know
@@dogsbreakfast4952 Something that is a hot fact or true statement, most of the time is out of pocket and is the opposite of cringe
Can't say I disagree with much of anything in this ranking aside from putting Pit higher mostly due to nostalgia. Ghost of the Deep is a fantastic dungeon imo, best they've done in a while. I'd definitely change the opening encounter to 3 dunks and I would nerf the final boss's health a bit so it's less mind-numbing for solo runs, but otherwise it's all great imo.
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it! Either a reduction in dunks or multiple dunks at once would be a great change.
I’m so happy you put my favorite two as your top two! Hard agree on all points, but I’d still put Grasp as an A for the fun factor
Lowering the hp of dungeon bosses wouldn't even change the difficulty much. It would just make it less tedious. Akelous in spire is beyond cancer because of its hp pool.
Nah ghost of the deep is straight up AIDs tho
Considering how many varying opinion there are on all the dungeons i think you are pretty spot-on with these rankings. Only thing i would change is putting both shattered throne and pit in B tier.
Thanks! Yeah it’s honestly so tough with just set grades. Would be so much easier with like B+ or B- grades to differentiate them a bit!
I completely agree with this, the only thing I disagree on is the statement over boss health in Ghosts.
15 million health for Ecthar is absurd for Solo. I'm not saying that it's impossible since it's one of the fights that's harder to screw up, but it drags on. However the close range combat definitely makes that boss more bareable, and the speed required to get to damage is very fast. In my solo run it took me 5 phases.
Simmumah on the otherhand is different. She's skinny, she plays at range, she dodges a lot and has 13 million health. With my solo flawless taking 7 whole phases to complete, it's awful. The fight alone takes an hour which is how long it takes to get to the boss room. While a 2 phase is consistently possible, with room for error, it requires max ammo much of the time.
So in general, boss health isn't an issue for Ghosts when it comes to multiple players, the issue lies in solo play and Root of Nightmares. Most raid bosses have less overall health than these dungeon bosses.
That was a fair take - duality is my favourite dungeon minus bugs of course the srmiur the loot my god it was stacked pretty greatly. Very closely followed by Ghosts of the deep same reasons for the weapons and armour - only thing i hage issue with ghosts is the encounters farmability is a bit tricky - i want to farm for an SMG its dropping everywhere , where as compared to the duality i know vault encounter is where i want to go for Unforgiven but maybe im just a bit salty on not getting the rolls needed as yet from ghosts dungeon (extremely close 4/5 on the rocket launcher and im totally fine with that one)
Oh man, I love Hierarchy of Needs from Spire. Probably my favorite exotic bow.
I think this is the first time I'm this early for a video! Time to enjoy :)
Thank you so much for watching! Hope you love it!
Totally agree with ghosts. It’s one I like to take my time in. Every bullet fired feels that much better when you remember what the mission is.
I just ran the boss room in Duality because a friend was wanting to farm it. Forgot how much fun that was. I managed to get Heartshadow and the cat on the same day, back to back runs, and it's meh. Never use it. But the dungeon was fun for sure.
Ghosts is fun still because it's new. i haven't run it many times (twice?) and frankly I don't mind the long drop to the bottom. Fun for a change of pace. I'd like to get the exotic and then do the cat run for it as I hear the exotic is badass. My buddy got two of them in a row - he stole mine!!!
Good list, fun to watch.
Thanks for the feedback dude! And GGs on the Heartshadow!
i have done master grasp of avarice recently and the armor stat drops are completely fine, I didn't get a single one below 60 out of 10 boss farms, still solid tier list though.
Hopefully they went back and fixed it!
Dungeons are my favorite content in the game right now and I would gladly pay 40$ a year for a dungeon key for 4 dungeons if they can consistently make them as good as duality and GOTD or even as good as grasp.
They’re definitely some of my favorite content as well! They’ve typically knocked them out of the park.
For me, if you broke down the rankings into any number of categories, Duality would be #1 in almost every one. It's omega S++ tier. My favorite music and sound design by far, best visual aesthetic, best solo experience, best loot (at release), coolest core mechanic. It has my favorite boss encounter (Caitl), and my favorite non-boss encounter (I loved the pace/timer in crypt). That applies for both solo and fireteam. On day one, after a pretty quick fireteam clear, it took me 5 hours to slog through the solo run. But after getting my solar 3.0 titan build going and learning the tactics, I started getting through the entire dungeon solo in under 30 minutes. It's the only dungeon that I would solo flawless more than once, just for fun and some extra loot. When I first went for solo flawless, I died in boss room, and I just couldn't wait to try again. I don't even know how this is possible, but after failing a solo flawless run, I would actually get a feeling of energy and excitement starting over. There was just something about flying through the crypt on an eager edge sword with a timer and my flawless run on the line. The feeling can best be described as the chaos and adrenaline of a day-one riad encounter like descent in DSC or Exhibition in VotD.
Shattered throne is one of the best for replayability because retold tale is one of the best pvp shotguns in the game it can get 100 range quickdraw and snapshot while being a precision frame so yea
Man I would really love it if Bungie at some point remastered some of these Dungeons, all it takes for Grasp to become perfect is correct pacing for the Servitor encounter it just needs to be shorter. Spire just needs the beefiness of bosses turned down but it's otherwise great. Shattered Throne needs challenge (also needs universally applied mechanics like use the Symbols as the mechanic throughout), Pit seems perfect tbh, just needs better loot, Proph's Cube room needs to be shorter, Ghost's 1st encounter needs to be shorter and the boredom of the Dive section can be solved by just having a secret shortcut or something. Duality is near perfect bugs aside.
Duuuuude YES! Would love this
I’d love to see a loot pool refresh on throne and prophecy. Please bungo
grasp is by far my favorite
Good list! I personally would’ve swapped duality with prophecy since it’s goated imo. Easily my favorite dungeon so far. I also might’ve put grasp high since I really like the score and theme. One of the few d2 songs I can pick out and go yeah that’s grasp. I also had a ton of fun abusing servitor encounter with well skate rather than cannons, that made that encounter fun for me. Same goes for the sparrow encounter with just wellskates. Great list and video!
Thanks homie! Those top 3 dungeons are definitely interchangeable based on preferences, but are all so good!
While i do love GotD, for the solo experience i still am of the opinion the boss heath should scale down at least a bit while solo compared to 3 players
Ghosts is definitely one of the better dungeons for sure. Honestly more difficult than the newest "raid" in a full fireteam.
The mechanics just seem so much more thought out compared to RoN
@@AboveDestiny its a great dungeon just hope the artiface armor drops good stats not like spire or master wont get touched bar 1st clear
Grasp is and will always be my favourite dungeon
pit over spire is wild. I will say that it does get repetitive tho
RON is a dungeon with options for 6 people
eeeeYUP
Is it really that easy? What about master w/ challenges?
I agree pretty much 100% with the list. I’ve been absolutely loving Gotd. I still think Duality is my favorite. I like the entire thing.. it was one of the things that brought me back from my 3 month break so it hits different.
Duality is definitely an awesome dungeon! Glad you liked the list!
Ghosts of the deep armor is the best looking, not only that but it's rgb capable which imo boosts it even higher
Interesting tier list but hot take:
My personal ranking for Spire is Low S/ High A, yes they resued a GoS boss but the fight is (imo) better. Plus the encounters are easy to do, dps is slow sure but the fast setup makes up for it, it looks STUNNING, the bow is fun and come on man the GAWD DAYUM COW-BOY FIT.
But thats just me.
reusing a gos boss aint allat, every other dungeon has a reused boss besides ghosts
@@clayless8701 really?
Oh damn, you right.
Solo flawless Pit of Heresy was so worth the emblem
I think spire should be in B cos it’s scenery and good fun.
Personally I am not a fan of shattered throne it has one good looking place but I don’t like the aesthetic apart from that. And it feels just weird and u structures to go through.
I get you judged it as their first dungeon and the secret of it but as someone who didn’t play around that time I did this dungeon for wish ended.
Also pit of heresy was my first solo flawless it didn’t take too long and I loved doing it so I’d Rate it higher
All totally fair! Can definitely see Shattered being quite low for new players who don’t have the context of it being the first dungeon. Definitely doesn’t have the same quality of life as the others.
Only weapon pit had was the pulse. The rest came from moon as well
Yup the Premonition!
I understand that Spire placement personally though I love it
Same, for me it's High A/low S but I get why some might not like it.
@@5q1d87 same
duality and prophecy are in the top three so i would agree. Still think the final ghosts of the deep boss is too long though
You can speed it up quite a bit, will be interesting to see what people think when it’s been optimized more
man i just wish bungie stop the time gate with raids/dungeons only farmable on rotation, u have to wait a month to farm, and when that week comes, u dont have time. This is just great bungie.
At least this one and spire are fully farmable outside of the exotic!
This is perfect content when you're still stuck in solo flawless Ghosts jail 😅
Hahah good luck! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love ghosts, I think that like a 30% to boss hp would keep it challenging but shorten It abit but I still think it’s s tier
Personally think spire is better than pit and grasp but other then that I think it’s a based tier list.
I’ll take it haha
People should add timelines to their tier-list videos
What would you like me to add? I’d be happy to add it for you
@@AboveDestiny I think he means RUclips timestamp timelines so that they can check the exact dungeon they would like to see the reactions and such
Put that prophecy in the S tier. the desert is the only calm part you get 😭😂
Spire machine gun with triple tap target lock eats arc GMs. Champions, bosses, ad clear. Gets everything in its path
PSA: Duality bells got fixed over half a year ago so you can’t crutch that excuse for not liking it anymore. Tied with Ghosts for best dungeon and the rest aren’t even close.
Agreed! People brought it up a lot but I think it’s way overblown. S tier dungeon.
@@AboveDestiny yeah only thing I get these days is the backpacks, but I don’t think I’ve been killed by those in a while. And I did 62 master Caiatl CPs lol so I think it probably would’ve happened in that at least a few times

>root of nightmares joke
Ending video now
never let this man cook 💀
Pit in C tier is a crime, Being lower than both gambit simulators hurts
For spire I got a really good argument. Cow boy hat.
Based
Idk why he cut out Root, its an actual dungeon lmao.
LMAO
Ghosts is great but my god…they need to adjust. WAY to many things just to activate damage phase. And the bosses health pool are insane.
duality is B in my opinion cuz every encounter is the same mechanic and just a slightly different boss. go to nightmare realm, pick flag, dunk flag, kill boss(es)
Honestly fair
@@AboveDestiny that was, admittedly, merely a view point mechanics wise. ambient wise it was very amazing, lore wise i can not entirely say, but quite nice aswell. i guess i could also settle for an A, but for an S tier a dungeon needs to exceed in all three of those
Warlords ruin is S tier
Best dungeon to date
1: Prophecy for the best aesthetic and bosses
2: Shattered throne for its mechanics
3: Grasp of Avarice for its story and theme
4: Spire for the theme of the loot and final boss
5: Pit of Heresy for the Xenophage quest
6: Duality is a cool concept but cabal are just annoying
7: Ghosts is full of bullet sponges which just make it boring for me
Sadly I haven't done ghosts of the deep yet but for the others
1.graso of avarice
2. Dualit3. Shattered throne
4.phrophecy
5.pit of heresy
6. Spire of the Watcher
Overall the Dungeons are some of the best content in the game imo since they are very similar iraids but without the 6 team multipurpose commitment which can be hell to get together for raids. Although I just absolutely hate the Dungeon keys and just refuse tompay for that on top of a season, honestly one of weaker moves bungie has ever pulled
My list is Pit in S the rest I dont really care about, Im just a sucker for pit LMAO
Hahah love it. Do you enjoy the mechanics or just the atmosphere?
@@AboveDestiny Its a fun Dungeon to solo speedrun, Fun to do solo flawless and its the first dungeon I did solo flawless on. So i might be bias cuz of that
I honestly don't think Shattered should get that much credit.... the ogre is probably the only encounter I love
grasp of avarice is good until the cannon encounter , from there onwards is a snooze fest , in my opinion is a solid C tier , me as a pve main gally saves it from being a D tier , rest of the loot sucks
Duality in S-tier? You're smoking something
A - Prophecy / Duality
B - GotD
C - Spire/GOA
D - POH/shattered throne
F -
The only complaint I have about ghosts of the deep, is that it’s taken me two weeks of trying daily for the solo flawless, and I get to the final boss every single time, only to be wiped by moths because I ran out of ads to clear with assassins cowl and died by moths, or because I got launched off map by the titan. Honestly actually having more ads in the rooms would solve most of my problems with ghosts of the deep solo flawless hunter.
You got this bro!!
Duality is a little high imo. Encounters can be too long to setup for damage, the initial jumping portion to the 1st encounter is a bit annoying with how long it can take and I also think the loot doesn't really stand that well today- stormchaser is now worse than other linears, unforgiven has a better alternative with funnelweb, exotic is a vault slot, the pulse is a worse messenger (which is now available again), and the armor is pretty bad looking imo. It's a low A/high B for me but I agree with pretty much everything else.
Pulse is alright for pve at best because Adaptive Munition but that's the bare minimum
Ay fair enough! To each their own, but seems like we share pretty similar views!
talk all you want about pit, but for me zulmak is the coolest dungeon boss
Best to worst -prophecy, duality, ghosts, grasp, spire, shattered then pit for me.
Pretty fair list!
ghosts in between running sections are too long, first encounter drags on, bosses have too much health, and imo the loot is mid. armor is awesome though, just wish i didnt have to run that slog for it
S Tier is Above no arguments
I’ll kissahomie
Unpopular opinion: Spire over Prophecy
All personal preference! What do you like about it the most?
Spire is basically doing a strike version of Garden Of Salvation. Prophecy way better
I honestly find the entirety of ghost of the deep completely fine except for the final boss. I hate fighting that boss. The encounter mechanic for the final boss is always fun and engaging but the boss being a wizard is such a problem for me, mainly because of the teleporting the boss does, it’s random when it happens and the boss could appear anywhere and can easily mess up a damage phase. The health I guess could be an issue for the bosses but ecthar is completely fine and should be left alone, nokru is ridiculous though. 13 million health with teleporting shenanigans and a shield you need to destroy before even damaging the boss and determines how long the damage phase really makes nokru a goddamn drag and boring as fuck fight. Especially with the head being a pain in the ass to hit with how much this boss like’s to strafe a lot and firing those annoying arc orbs at you AND the ads you have to deal with mid-damage phase. Fuck nokru, hope he gets nerfed hard.
Pit of Heresy is in my top three but the loot is just super mid
Dope dungeon, just no reason to run it 😭
@@AboveDestiny exactly!
Putting shattered above pit ever is a sin imo.
What do you like about it more?
@@AboveDestiny The sword mechanic I find very fun. Shattered doesn’t feel like it really has mechanics, besides kill thing and dunk think. At least pit does it in a better way. The loot isn’t good in either really, but you at least get higher stat roles
Duality in S tier is fucking abysmal😭
this is a comment for the algorithm
Thank you!
I think Duality is the best dungeon bungie has ever made but GotD loot is definitely a little better
They're both so so good, really tough to choose honestly
@@AboveDestiny I feel like people overrate the duality loot because of how broken storm chaser was at release
GoTD is the best dungeon in the game. And better than RoN
I would agree for sure 👍🏻
As someone who has solo flawlessed ghosts and has a pve god roll of all the weapons. No point blank its one of the worse dungeons in the game. Lore and aesthetic wise its one of the best but in terms of mechanics its not good. Say what you want about mote mechanics but the amount of times ive gotten ghost finisher death/ yeeted across the map or dunked THE CORRECT symbol and died is absurd and i dont see anyone other that my clan talking about how ridiculously buggy it is
Here's my list.
S: Ghosts of the deep.
A: Shatterred throne and Spire of the watcher
B: Prophecy and Grasp
C: Pit of heracy
D:
F: Duality
I will never understand why people like Duality or how they can possibly put it up there with Ghosts, I'm pretty sure the only two jew assets in it are the bells, and the tassels on Caital's back. The only good things about the dungeon are the lore and the weapons, but the rest isn't just bad, it's asinine. No encounter is fun, the nightmare realm is just the normal one with an ugly texture slapped onto it from shadowkeep. The time limit is arbitrary and annoying, there's an entire encounter based around damn Phalynx's!
Why do people complain about spire having a reused boss? Just because the harpy is more easily noticeable than some others, doesn't make it worse. Ghalran is not only a re'used asset, but he has the basic AI of a gladiator just with the jump removed and Caital doesn't even have proper roaming pathfinding, she just hangs out in the back then goes from point to point and stands there. The very first boss in destiny, that arkon from D1's second mission, has more complex AI than both of the duality bosses!
And on top of everything, the dungeon is utterly pointless! Thay's a complaint with all but two of the dungeons but the rest have redeeming qualities, we literally kill a figmant of someones imagination, and it isn't even relevant when we kill said someone.
I was lucky enough to get the stormchaser and unforgiven godrolls within the first five runs, but that was still four runs too many for this sub-par exotic mission pretending to be a dungeon.
Also, why do people complain about the traversal segment in Ghosts? It takes a similar length of time to the traversal sections in grasp if you know wgat you're doing, and as someone who's already run the dungeon about 20 times, no, it does not get old fast, I'm sure it will eventually, but I was done with the entirety of Dualty after two runs.
I’ve seen some people really dislike Duality, so I’m not surprised seeing this. I think a lot of people do enjoy it, but I get the frustrations with it
@@AboveDestiny I just don't get why people think so highly of it, it's the worst dungeon by far, but it sometimes seems like everybody else loves it and no one will explain why, they just say "the mechanics are really good", to which the only response is "they're not though." I know people have different opinions, but surely if the only reason people like it is something as subjective as that, there'd be more of an even split, spire objectively just has better and less frustrating mechanics.
Nah duality is the best dungeon, reason being is because root of nightmares is a better dungeon than ghosts, and ghosts is a better raid than root of nightmares
LMAO
Don’t really know where to start. Been playing destiny since d1 day 1 and I just have to say I disagree with pretty much all of your takes. Everyone’s different I guess!
I would put deep in a but it has the WORST solo flawless out of all of them in my opinion and can’t be overlooked.
I personally found it a fun challenge, but I totally get the moths being some ass in solo flawless runs 😂
First!!!
WOO!
Ghosts is incredibly overrated imo. the solo experience really drags it down, and that underwater section on repeat playthroughs is soooo boring. plus the loot is mid at best. at least the armor is cool
Honestly prophecy is by far the worst in my opinion. Similar mechanic to grasp but grasps is just way less annoying. The light and dark mechanic is just trash and boring. Although aesthetically it is by far the best dungeon. The desert and cube sections are also some of the worst parts of any dungeon to date. The loot is also trash and I think it’s the only dungeon to not even have an exotic.
I honestly echo your sentiment with the two middle encounters, really not a fan personally. Environment is amazing, and so enjoy both bosses a good amount. Loot definitely not the best
@@AboveDestiny yeah, I don’t enjoy the first boss too much, but the damage phase for the final boss is easily the best. So much things you need to toggle. It’s just the more mechanic I find to be annoying.
Switch duality and pit and it would be good list. Duality is an awful dungeon that overuses the same mechanic and has annoying transitions sections and feels more like a three man raid liar without any raid mechanics or much mechanics at all. Pit has a variety of mechanics, a cool ass relic, awesome environments, and easily the best transition encounters since they are actual thought out cool encounters with a lot to learn and master instead of just being random long jumpy sections.
Shattered throne is like z tier it’s so bad imo 😂
