Chess Meets Destiny: The En Passant Triumph Puzzle in Destiny 2
Guardians, prepare your minds for a new challenge! The En Passant Triumph has emerged in the ever-expanding universe of Destiny 2, introducing an intricate chess puzzle that promises to test your strategic skills. To unlock this triumph, players must first gather 60 hidden chess pieces scattered throughout the game, a prerequisite for the Ambition and Resolve Pieces achievement. If you’re not up for the hunt, fear not! You can join a friend who has already unlocked the En Passant puzzle.
How to Start the Chess Puzzle
To embark on this cerebral journey, head to Eris Morn’s Flat from the HELM. Step through the green portal leading to her Throne World. Once there, navigate to the northwest edge of the platform and drop down into a concealed room featuring a chessboard. Approach the board, and you’ll see the prompt: "Pick up the King?" Interacting with this prompt transports you to the Unknown Antechamber, where the chess puzzles await.
Inside, you’ll encounter a large chessboard where strategy is key. Players must move chess pieces to specific positions while interacting with various plates that allow you to add, remove, or change pieces. Each puzzle begins with a limited number of allowed actions, which you can track via on-screen messages.
Understanding the Plates
Each plate on the board serves a unique function:
- Piece-specific plates: For each chess piece (rook, bishop, pawn, knight, queen), stand on the plate and shoot the tile where you want the piece to be moved.
- Delete Plate: Stand on this plate and shoot a tile to remove the chess piece currently occupying it.
- Convert Plate: Converts the chess piece on the tile you shoot.
- Undo Plate: Reverses your last move.
- Start Over Plate: Resets the board entirely.
Puzzle Solutions and Strategies
The chess puzzles are designed to flow into one another, increasing in complexity as you progress. In true Bungie fashion, players receive no guidance on solving these puzzles. You have a total of 60 moves to complete the entire challenge.
Here are some key moves to help you advance through the Middle Game section of the puzzle:
- Pawn E6
- Rook H8
- Pawn E5
- Pawn E4, F4
- Knight D4
- Pawn E6
- Knight D5
- Pawn D1
- Pawn D7
- Knight G7
And many more! The full list of moves is essential for unlocking the next stages of the En Passant Triumph.
Unlocking the End Game
Upon completing the first Middle Game puzzle, interact with the water bowl on the left, and the board will transform into a black, white, and red tiled layout, known as the End Game. Here, players can skip back to this stage from the Lost City, allowing for a more streamlined experience.
As you progress, you’ll receive a unique frequency that may hold the key to a larger puzzle. The community is currently working to decipher these frequencies, theorizing that they may combine to reveal a secret image. With 4,096 pieces to assemble, collaboration is crucial.
Join the Community Effort
As the Destiny 2: Edge of Fate reveal approaches, the excitement surrounding the En Passant Triumph is palpable. Players are encouraged to join the ongoing community efforts on platforms like the Raidsecrets Discord and contribute to the ARG checker for their frequency and image.
So, Guardians, gather your chess pieces, strategize with your fireteam, and dive into this captivating new challenge. The En Passant Triumph awaits!
