Find every new Destiny 2 raid and dungeon Exotic catalyst location, including guaranteed drops, Pantheon boss sources, RNG farms, and the exotic ownership rule you need to know.
Almost all of the new catalysts drop from raid and dungeon boss encounters — many of them routed through Pantheon — and for the guaranteed ones you must already own the exotic before the catalyst will drop.
Destiny 2’s latest update (reported as the Monument of Triumph update) folded a fresh batch of Exotic catalysts into raid and dungeon encounters, and a lot of them run through Pantheon. This is a per-catalyst rundown: which weapon’s catalyst comes from which boss, whether it’s a guaranteed drop or a roll of the dice, and the one rule that quietly gates the whole list.
Why owning the exotic comes first
Beyond that, the set splits neatly into two buckets. Most of these are guaranteed once you meet the ownership requirement, while a handful are pure RNG that you’ll want to farm. The table below maps every catalyst to its source; the prose underneath sorts out the guaranteed-versus-chance nuance the table can’t carry per row.
Every new catalyst and where it drops
| Catalyst | Where it drops | Drop type / notes |
|---|---|---|
| Conditional Finality | Master Nezarec, Root of Nightmares | Guaranteed |
| Anarchy | Insurrection Prime, Pantheon | Chance (RNG) |
| Euphony | Master Witness | Guaranteed (reported) |
| 1,000 Voices | Morgeth (Pantheon) or Riven/Queenswalk, normal Last Wish | Chance — farm keys |
| Eyes of Tomorrow | Taniks, Deep Stone Crypt | Chance — farmable |
| Collective Obligation | Master Rhulk, Vow of the Disciple | Guaranteed (reported) |
| Divinity | Consecrated Mind (Pantheon) or Sanctified Mind, normal Garden of Salvation | Guaranteed |
| Tarrabah | Gahlran, Pantheon | Guaranteed |
| Xenophage | Zulmak, Pit of Heresy | Guaranteed |
| Wish-Ender | Final Shattered Throne boss | Reportedly bugged |
The bulk of the list behaves the same way: clear the named encounter while you own the weapon and the catalyst is yours. That covers Conditional Finality from Master Nezarec in Root of Nightmares, Divinity from the Consecrated Mind Pantheon encounter (or Sanctified Mind in normal Garden of Salvation), Tarrabah from Gahlran in Pantheon, and Xenophage from the Zulmak encounter in Pit of Heresy.
A couple of these are called out as guaranteed only on the strength of a team going a perfect run — Euphony from Master Witness and Collective Obligation from the Master Rhulk encounter in Vow of the Disciple both reportedly dropped first try for everyone, so they’re very likely guaranteed but not officially confirmed. Anarchy is the clear outlier on the consistent side: it’s only a chance during the Insurrection Prime Pantheon encounter, so don’t expect it on a single clear.
The two you’ll genuinely grind are 1,000 Voices and Eyes of Tomorrow. The former can come from the Morgeth Pantheon encounter or from Riven / Queenswalk in normal Last Wish, and the latter drops from the Taniks encounter in Deep Stone Crypt — both are chance-based, which is exactly where the farming tips below come in.
Farming the RNG catalyst drops faster
Start with the rule that headlines everything: for the guaranteed catalysts, get the exotic into your inventory first, because that’s what unlocks the drop in the first place. Once that’s sorted, the only real grind is the two chance-based weapons.
For Eyes of Tomorrow, the Taniks boss can be melted in a couple of minutes with a coordinated team running Truth, which turns it into a fast repeatable farm where a full fireteam can rack up attempts quickly.
Own the exotic before you farm its catalyst — the guaranteed catalysts reportedly won’t drop until the matching weapon is already in your collection, so claim the exotic first and confirm it’s there before you start clearing.
