Achievement Guide

Complete Destiny achievements like Guardian Lord, Change of Heart, and Ship Rite. Earn trophies by playing through missions and activities.

Guardian Lord

Obtain all trophies in destiny.

Change of Heart

When you reach Level 7 you’ll unlock your first Tier Two Ability; this should be for your Grenade Modifier. Go to the Upgrade Screen and select this new Grenade Modifier then go back to the original one to receive this achievement.

• Reverse a decision you made in an upgrade grid.

Ship Rite

This achievement is obtained after completing the Prologue “A Guardian Rises”

• Rebuild a Jumpship.

Bane of the Emperor

To get a precision kill on Cabal you’ll need to shoot them in the head. Any mission will do, you can camp out at the starting zone and simply defeat the Cabal that respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) constantly, retreating back to safety if you feel threatened.

• Kill 25 Cabal with precision shots in 1 mission without dying.

Decryptologist

This achievement won’t become unlocked until you reach higher levels as you’ll begin to obtain more Engrams after Level 18. It’s not a difficult one to obtain as you’ll get it through gameplay. Focus on Strikes and the Crucible to receive Engrams.

• Decrypt 25 Engrams.

Use of Weapons

Play through the Story Missions and you’ll undoubtedly obtain a lot of gear that you won’t use. Simply dismantle this gear by highlighting it and pressing square/X to dismantle it. Over time you’ll reach 50.

• Dismantle 50 pieces of armor or weapons.

The Life Exotic

Exotic gear is rare and powerful, identified by its yellow border. The best ways to obtain this gear is from Legendary Engrams, Raiding, completing an Exotic Bounty, purchasing it from Xur, Agent of the Nine, and/or the Weekly Nightfall Strike.

• Obtain and equip a piece of Exotic gear.

A New Steed

After completing the Story Mission “Warmind” you’ll be given a Sparrow and thus unlock this achievement.

• Obtain and equip a new personal vehicle.

Suited for War

You’ll need to equip all slots with Legendary or Exotic gear and that isn’t simple. Through some lucky drops you might be able to speed it up but the surest way of completing this daunting task is to raise your Vanguard and Crucible ranks to 3 so you may purchase Weapons and Armor with Marks. It will take some time and could take upto 3 weeks to be able to purchase everything, but with a little luck and purchases from Xur, Agent of the Nine you can do it a bit faster.

• Have all armor and weapon slots equipped with Legendary or Exotic gear.

Bane of the Kell

Shoot Fallen in the head for a precision shot. This can be done in the Prologue with some good shooting though the first mission. Restoration serves as a perfectly fine mission for completing this as well. Just run around The Steppes to find plenty of Dreg and Vandals waiting to be killed.

• Kill 25 Fallen with precision shots in 1 mission without dying.

Lucky 7s

You don’t need to obtain exactly 777 points, simply go over it. You’ll earn points for almost everything you do. Killing a certain number of enemies, going into a new area, and finding Dead Ghosts will net you large amounts of points pretty fast. Play through the Story Missions and you’ll likely pick this one up.

• Attain a Grimoire score of 777.

Bane of the Dead

Hive will take precision damage from headshots. The best place to do this early is during “The Dark Within” while on your way through the Lunar Complex. The Hive spawn almost continually until you defeat the Wizard so line up your shots to earn this one pretty easily.

• Kill 25 Hive with precision shots in 1 mission without dying.

Inspector

Walk near a character and press R3/Right Thumbstick then Options. Choose Inspect Player and you will have unlocked this one. Alternatively, you can highlight one of your friends and inspect them too.

• Inspect another player.

Blink of an Eye

There are plenty of places to do this easily, the best one is the end of the first mission on the Moon, “The Dark Beyond” where you’ll be faced with a large number of Hive. Just toss a Grenade in that mess to get a bunch of kills quickly.

• Kill 5 enemies in 3 seconds.

Relic Hunter

This is a weekend only event. You need to take control of a point; it’s simple enough with a good team. A Titan with Ward of Dawn can guard the point easily and getting the Heavy Weapon Ammo at 2:00, 5:00, and 9:00 is useful.

• Assist in capturing 20 capture points in Salvage.

Valorous

You’ll need to earn 100 Vanguard Marks. You’ll get 4 from Gold Tier on Public Events and it’s easy enough to run around Earth to obtain these. The Weekly Nightfall will net 15 Marks and Weekly Heroic Strike is another 9. The Daily Story Mission is another 5 Marks and isn’t very challenging most of the time in comparison. Likewise, if you can’t handle the harder mission just do some Vanguard Strikes.

• Earn the maximum weekly Vanguard score.

Notorious

You’ll need 100 Crucible Marks and there isn’t an easy way to get this. Rumble is the fastest way, especially if you’re pretty good. Winning earns 3 Marks and losing earns 2 Marks, so at the most you’ll have to play 50 matches.

• Earn the maximum weekly Crucible score.
