- Chatterwhite is a returning all-white shader from Destiny 1 — unlocked in Destiny 2 by completing the For the Bird triumph in Monument of Triumph.
- To start, speak to Suraya Hawthorne in the Tower Bazaar and pick up the Fated Deepsight quest on page 2 of her inventory — it is easy to miss on the first page.
- The quest requires you to complete all five encounters in the Vault of Glass raid — Confluxes, Oracles, Templar, Gatekeepers, and Atheon.
- Vault of Glass is free for all players — no DLC required. Use LFG channels to find a team if you do not have a full fireteam.
- Completing the quest earns you a free Deepsight (red-border) weapon for crafting pattern progress, plus the For the Bird triumph.
- After claiming the triumph, buy Chatterwhite from the Tenet of Death vendor in the Tower Courtyard for 25 Legendary Marks — the triumph only gives you 15, so earn 10 more first.
- The fastest way to get the extra 10 Marks is to pet Archie the dog in the Tower Bazaar for the Can You Pet the Dog? triumph — that pays 10 Marks instantly.
Destiny 2 Chatterwhite is a clean all-white shader that originally appeared in the first Destiny as a Vault of Glass reward — and it is back in Monument of Triumph in 2026. Getting it requires completing the For the Bird triumph, which sends you into the Vault of Glass raid via a weekly Deepsight quest from Hawthorne. This guide covers every step from the Tower Bazaar to the Tenet of Death vendor, including a quick rundown of all five VoG encounters for players running it for the first time.
What Is Chatterwhite in Destiny 2
Chatterwhite is an all-white weapon and armor shader. It was one of the iconic rewards tied to the Vault of Glass in Destiny 1 and became a nostalgic symbol for veteran players. In Destiny 2’s Monument of Triumph — the game’s final live update released June 9, 2026 — Bungie brought it back as a purchasable reward locked behind the For the Bird triumph.
The shader itself is clean and minimal. It applies a flat white finish across all equipped items. If you are building a white-themed Guardian or just want to own a piece of Destiny history, this is the shader to get.
Step 1: Pick Up the Fated Deepsight Quest From Hawthorne
Go to the Tower Bazaar. From the Courtyard spawn, follow the right-hand path down toward the Bazaar area. Hawthorne is on the stairs near the ramen shop as you come down from the Courtyard — just before the Bazaar opens up.
Open her vendor inventory and scroll to page 2. The Fated Deepsight quest is not on the first page of her inventory. Many players miss it entirely because they check the first page, see nothing relevant, and leave. The quest is specifically on the second page — check there.
Pick up the Fated Deepsight quest. It will appear in your quest log immediately. The objective is clear: complete all encounters in the Vault of Glass raid.
A few things worth knowing about this quest before you start:
- It is a weekly quest that resets on Tuesday at 12 PM EDT. You only need to complete it once to unlock the triumph and the Chatterwhite shader. After that, you can pick it up again weekly for additional Deepsight weapon rewards, but the triumph and shader are permanently yours after the first clear.
- Hawthorne also offers Fated Deepsight quests for Last Wish and Garden of Salvation, but those require the Forsaken Pack and Shadowkeep Pack respectively. Vault of Glass is free for all players — no DLC needed.
- Completing the quest rewards a free Deepsight weapon — a red-border weapon that contributes to its crafting pattern. This is a bonus on top of the triumph reward.
Step 2: Complete All Five Vault of Glass Encounters
The Vault of Glass is a six-player raid with no matchmaking. If you do not have a full fireteam, use the in-game Fireteam Finder or community LFG channels in the Destiny 2 Discord. The raid has been in the game since 2021 and most experienced players can carry a less familiar team through it without issue — just be upfront that you are going for a Fated Deepsight clear.
You must complete all five encounters in order. Partial clears or joining mid-raid do not count for the quest — every checkbox must be ticked.
Encounter 1: Defend the Confluxes (Opening)
The opening encounter takes place in a large arena at the bottom of the Vault. Three Confluxes appear — left, right, and center — and waves of Vex attempt to sacrifice themselves into them. If four Vex reach any one Conflux, your fireteam wipes.
Assign two players per Conflux and focus on the nearest Vex immediately as they appear. Wyverns are the priority kill — a single Wyvern sacrificing itself causes an instant wipe. Never let one reach the Conflux. Watch for Vex Fanatics leaving green pools on the ground — stepping in them applies Mark of Negation, which kills you on the Templar’s next Ritual of Negation cast. Cleanse it by standing in the central pool in the middle of the arena.
Once the Vex assault ends and all three Confluxes are secured, a chest spawns. Collect loot and move forward.
Encounter 2: Destroy the Oracles
The Oracle encounter takes place in the same Vault interior. Nine large glowing spheres — Oracles — spawn in a specific sequence around the chamber and must be destroyed in the correct order. Destroying them out of sequence wipes the fireteam.
Assign callout positions around the arena so each player is responsible for spotting and calling out the Oracle nearest to them. A common numbering system runs from left to right across three tiers. The Oracles appear in patterns that repeat across three waves. Destroy each one within a few seconds of it appearing — they explode and wipe the team if left too long.
The Templar is immune during this phase and continues firing. Stay in cover between Oracle spawns. Once all nine Oracles are destroyed across three rounds, the Templar becomes vulnerable.
Encounter 3: Defeat the Templar
The Templar is the first boss of the Vault of Glass. It is a large Hydra that becomes vulnerable after the Oracle sequence completes. Deal as much damage as possible during this window.
The Templar will attempt to teleport during the damage phase. If it teleports, it resets its health to full and the Ritual of Negation immediately follows. To prevent it teleporting, designate one player to watch for the yellow circle that appears on the ground — when it appears, everyone shoots the circle to suppress the teleport.
Continue defending against Fanatics and cleansing Mark of Negation in the central pool throughout the fight. The Templar has multiple health phases. Keep the Oracle suppression pattern going between damage phases until it dies.
Encounter 4: Navigate the Gorgon’s Labyrinth and Defeat the Gatekeepers
After the Templar, jump down and navigate the Gorgon’s Labyrinth — a maze filled with Gorgons that detect motion and wipe the team if they spot you. Move slowly, follow your team lead, and avoid line of sight with any Gorgon. This section is traversal-only with no combat — just patience.
Once through, the Gatekeeper encounter begins. The arena has two portals — one leading to the past (Mars) and one to the future (Venus). Kill the initial Gatekeeper Hydra in the throne room. Once it dies, two players enter each portal while the remaining team defends a central Conflux from Wyverns.
Inside each portal, kill the Praetorian enemies and the Gatekeeper. Defeating the Gatekeeper allows the player with the Aegis relic to carry it back out. Completing both portals ends the encounter.
Encounter 5: Defeat Atheon, Time’s Conflux (Final Boss)
Atheon is the final boss. Shoot the floating Vex cube in the center of the Glass Throne room to begin the encounter. Harpies spawn — kill them in waves but leave one alive on each platform to prevent continuous respawning.
After about one minute, Atheon teleports three random players into either the Mars or Venus portal. The teleported players must call out which portal they entered. Inside the portal, pick up the Aegis relic immediately and use its Guard ability to cleanse the Marked by the Void debuff that builds on all players inside.
The three players remaining in the main room call out the order of Oracle spawns inside the portals. The teleported team destroys those Oracles in the correct sequence, then escapes through the portal. Once out, all players receive the Time’s Vengeance buff — a 30-second window of massively increased damage. Focus all DPS on Atheon. Supers and heavy weapons are most effective here.
Atheon has multiple health phases. Repeat the teleport and Oracle cycle for each phase until Atheon dies. When the encounter ends, the quest updates automatically and the Fated Deepsight reward drops to your inventory.
Step 3: Claim the For the Bird Triumph
After completing the Vault of Glass and finishing the Fated Deepsight quest, open your Triumphs menu and navigate to Monument of Triumph → Stories → Allies. The For the Bird triumph will be ready to claim there for 15 Legendary Marks.
Claim it. The Chatterwhite shader is now available for purchase at the Tenet of Death vendor — but it costs 25 Legendary Marks, and you only just earned 15. You need 10 more before you can buy it.
Step 4: Get 10 More Legendary Marks (Fastest Method)
The fastest way to get exactly 10 more Legendary Marks is to pet Archie the dog in the Tower Bazaar. Archie is on the lounge deck next to Lodi at the far end of the Bazaar. Walk up and press the interact button — the prompt reads “Activate Good Boy Protocol.”
This completes the Can You Pet the Dog? triumph and pays 10 Legendary Marks immediately. Combined with the 15 from For the Bird, you now have exactly 25 — enough to buy Chatterwhite. Since Archie is in the Bazaar right next to Hawthorne, you can pet him on the same visit you pick up the quest. See the Destiny 2 Archie location guide for exact directions if you cannot find him.
Step 5: Buy Chatterwhite From the Tenet of Death Vendor
Head to the Tower Courtyard and find the Tenet of Death — one of the four Monument of Triumph vendor statues behind the central monument structure. Open its inventory and look for Chatterwhite in the shader section. It costs 25 Legendary Marks. Purchase it.
The shader will appear in your Collections and can be applied to any piece of armor or weapon from your inventory’s shader slot.
Other Triumphs to Complete While Doing This
If you are making the Tower visit for For the Bird, several other quick Monument of Triumph objectives are nearby and worth completing in the same session.
- Can You Pet the Dog? — pet Archie in the Tower Bazaar next to Lodi (10 Legendary Marks). Do this on the same visit as Hawthorne to save a trip.
- Site Safety Counter reset — head to the Tower Hangar and jump off the edge to reset the Days Since Last Accident board. See the Site Safety Counter guide for details — takes under 2 minutes.
- Strange Leftovers — pick up the Strange Leftovers collectible in Xur’s old spot in the Tower Hangar while you are already there.
- Hidden Net Goal — score in the hidden soccer net inside the old Future War Cult room in the Hangar. See the hidden net guide for the exact location.
All of these are fast Tower-based triumphs that stack Legendary Marks efficiently, which matters if you are planning to buy multiple items from the Tenet vendors. Check the Legendary Marks guide for the full list of what each Tenet vendor sells and which triumphs pay out the most Marks per minute.
