Posted in Guides

Wondering how to get the Aquanaut title in Destiny 2? Titles are among the most coveted status symbols in Destiny, showcasing a player's dedication, mastery, and skill within a certain area of the game. The new Season of The Deep title is no exception, and if you’re here looking for how to get the new Aquanaut title, we’ve got you covered.

We’ll go over all the different triumphs you’ll need to complete to unlock the title Aquanaut on your characters, including the secret triumphs that make the title so tricky to get. Once you’ve got your badge of honour on though, make sure your fashion is on point to match by checking out what's in the Destiny 2 eververse store this week, for some drip worthy of your name.

To get the Aquanaut title in Destiny 2, you’ll need to complete all ten triumphs under the title badge. As this is the title for the Season of The Deep, all ten of these triumphs are related to seasonal missions, activities and challenges. We’ll go through them in order and explain how you can complete each one.

To view your progress, open your character menu and go to the Journey tab at the top. Click on the Titles tab, and then click on the Aquanaut title badge.

To complete the first triumph of the title, you just need to take part in and complete each weekly quest step of the "Into the Depths" seasonal story mission. You will need to have the season pass in order to do this. Each weekly reset, the next part of the ongoing seasonal story will become available, though it is possible that there will be some weeks with no updates to the story. You simply need to complete all six parts of this story by finishing their associated weekly missions. Completing this triumph will also reward an exotic sparrow: To Be Remembered.

For this triumph, you need to complete a separate series of season-related challenges, each of which will unlock seasonal bonuses. These challenges and their progress can be viewed by returning to the Journey menu, clicking on the blue Seasonal Challenges tab at the bottom, and then clicking across from Weekly challenges to Seasonal Bonuses challenges.

Completing these will not only unlock this triumph, they will also unlock different bonuses that can boost your progress and rewards throughout the season. Finishing the triumph will also unlock a seasonal emblem.

Here are the ten Seasonal Bonus challenges you need to complete, and what they unlock:

For this triumph, you just need to reset your rank at the seasonal vendor, the Sonar Station. The Sonar Station can be found at the H.E.L.M, next to the portal that leads to Ahsa in the aquarium room. The maximum rank for this vendor is Rank 16.

The best way to get your vendor rank up fast with vendors is to complete bounties on offer from them. For the Sonar Station, these bounties are available to players who own the paid track of the season pass. All of these bounties will be tied to seasonal activities and missions in some way, and will often require you to play for certain goals or change your loadout or playstyle in certain ways.

This triumph needs you to defeat combatants using seasonal weapons to progress a percentage bar to completion. The seasonal weapons are:

Defeating Guardians in PvP activities will grant additional progress on the percentage bar, compared to PvE activities.

This triumph is simple, and requires you to defeat each unique boss in Salvage activities, of which there are two. These bosses are Azshradat, Celebrant of Xivu Arath and Uorgotha, Scourge of The Deep. You’ll complete this one automatically on your way to completing the ten challenges for the Challenges Accepted triumph.

This triumph is also easy, and wants you to defeat each unique boss in Deep Dive activities, of which there are three. These three bosses are J4WS, Wrathborn Servitor, Kudazad, Bound to Xivu Arath, and Kelgorath, Taken From Bones. Again, you’ll complete this one automatically as you’re working your way towards the Challenges Accepted triumph.

This is the first of two secret triumphs in the Aquanaut title. For this triumph, you’ll need to complete all three different Deep Dive encounters (that means fighting each unique boss) with a pressure trial active. You’ll be able to activate the pressure trial in a Deep Dive by finding a glowing taken essence hidden near the beginning of the first encounter. Once you have the pressure trials active, you’ll need to defeat targets including several waves of minibosses throughout the Deep Dive within the activity time limit in order to succeed.

Here's another easy one. For this triumph, you need to catch any fish at any fish pond to fill up a percentage bar. If you’re not quite sure how to fish in Destiny 2, we’ve got you covered.

For this penultimate triumph, you need to catch an exotic fish at any fish pond. Exotic fish are of course rare, and require a lot of patience, but the longer you fish for, the better your chances of catching one.

The final triumph for the Aquanaut title isn't yet known. As you’ll have pieced together, the title itself can't be unlocked any earlier than the sixth week of the quest for Season of The Deep's story to begin with, as the Weekly Wetwork triumph is tied to seasonal story progression. Additionally, triumphs and challenges requiring players to defeat all three bosses in Deep Dives are also currently impossible, with the third boss still set to arrive in week three of the season.

This means that the final secret triumph for the Aquanaut title is going to be dependent on elements of the Season of The Deep that have yet to unfold or be released, so keep an eye out for any new mechanics that might show up. We’ll update this entry as soon as the triumph becomes available to unlock.

That's everything we can give you right now on how to unlock the Aquanaut title in Destiny 2. We’ll be sure to update this as soon as the title is closer to becoming unlockable in-game, but completing all the triumphs we do know about now will certainly save you a lot of time going forward. If you’ve stumbled across this and are brand new to the season, make sure you’ve got the Season of The Deep artifact to help you with these triumphs.
