Down The Drain
Down the Drain:Defeat each unique boss found on your Deep Dives.
Similar to Big Fish, the Down the Drain Triumph requires you tokill all three unique Deep Dive bosses.These bosses rotate weekly, so this will take at least three weeks to complete if you haven’t played any Deep Dive. Reach the lowest floor, slay the boss, and collect your rewards. Pressure Trials arenotrequired to fight the final boss.
Pressurized Deep
Pressurized Deep:Complete a Deep Dive with Pressure Trials active on each encounter.
Every Deep Dive encounter has an optional Pressure Trial variant you can activate byinteracting with a floating Toland orb in the arena.These tend to spawn in corners.Every member of your fireteam must interact with the orb to start the Pressure Trial.Since not every player in the matchmaking pool knows of this mechanic, it’s best you attempt this solo or with a premade fireteam.
The Pressure Trial itself is fairly simple, requiring your fireteam tocleanse pools of energy, destroy Blights, or defeat tough Taken opponents.Successfully completing a Pressure Trial will greatly increase the difficulty of the Deep Dive, limiting your Power level down to a -15 delta—the equivalent of Legend content. Complete a run where every run has been augmented with a Pressure Trial to complete this Triumph.
Quantity Over Quality
Quantity Over Quality:Catch fish at any Fish Pond.
This is arguably the simplest Triumph tied to Aquanaut. Quantity over Quality requires you tocatch 150 fish.The fish can be of any quality. Acquire some bait, find a fishing pond in patrol, and start fishing. Check out ourfishing guidefor more information on how fishing works in Destiny 2.
Ambitious Angler
Ambitious Angler:Catch an Exotic fish at any fishing pond.
Whenever you catch a fish in Destiny 2, there’s an incredibly small chance that you’ll receive an Exotic fish. This Triumph asks you tocatch one Exotic fishfrom any pond. There are two ways to increase your chances of getting an Exotic fish:
The former requires you to reel in the fish immediately after it bites, while the latter requires you to fish in a pond that’s occupied by other players. The more Legendary and Exotic fish your group catches, the higher your chances are of getting an Exotic fish. Once you get an Exotic fish, deposit it at the H.E.L.M.’s aquarium to earn some Exotic armor, Masterwork materials, and Broken Blades required to earn this season’s hidden Exotic.
