Ghosts of the Deep dungeon guide

Ghosts of the Deep launched on May 26, 2023, in Season of the Deep. Up to three players dive into the depths beneath Titan’s New Pacific Arcology to stop a Hive cult that’s trying to bring back something it really shouldn’t. You start it through the quest “Rise” from Hawthorne. It comes in Normal and Master difficulty. The recurring idea: kill a Hive Lightbearer, crush its Ghost to take its light, and put that light where it belongs.

1. The Hive ritual

Kill a Soulfire Binder Ogre and follow the green goo trail. Kill the Hive Lightbearer at the end and crush its Ghost to get Vestige of Light. Then kill a Veilweaver Wizard for Deepsight, which reveals the runes on the statues, and deposit the Vestige at the statue with the matching symbol. Do this four times. Depositing at the wrong statue kills you.

2. Into the depths

An underwater traversal with a pressure gauge to keep an eye on, while Ecthar hunts you through the water.

3. Ecthar, the Shield of Savathûn

Clear the Acolytes, then the Blistered Knights, then the Ogre. Deepsight reveals lit runes on the walls, and a runner dives underwater to touch the matching runes while staying away from Ecthar. Lightbearer Wizards spawn: crush their Ghosts for Vestiges and deposit them in the statues. After the last one, a Wellkeeper Knight appears. Kill it, stand in its pool to break Ecthar’s shield, and damage him until he goes immune. Repeat.

4. Šimmumah ur-Nokru, Lucent Necromancer

The final arena is built around Oryx’s corpse. Crush a Ghost to begin. Deepsight marks three locations on the body. At each, kill the Vorlog in the circle, then align the lens that appears with the symbol to reveal a rune. Players head into the flooded side rooms, kill a Lightbearer, crush its Ghost and bring the Vestige to the matching location. With all three deposited, stand in a pool to break her shield and burn her down. The locations change after every damage phase.

Triumphs

The dungeon’s seal gives the Ghoul title. Its triumphs include a solo clear (Alone in the Deep), a Master clear (Sovereign) and collecting the hidden memories (In Memoriam). Completing triumphs raises your chance at the exotic.

The Navigator

The Navigator, a Strand trace rifle, is a random drop from Šimmumah. Its catalyst comes from a hidden three-part puzzle where you find piles of dead Ghosts, deposit a Vestige of Light and defeat Thul-Ar, Acolyte of Nokris. The full loot table is below.
