Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted: Complete Calus Bobblehead Guide
In the eerie, fungus-ridden corridors of the Derelict Leviathan, nine miniature Calus bobbleheads wait like forgotten chess pieces in a derelict palace. These collectibles, introduced during Destiny 2's Season of the Haunted, are required to complete the #1 Fan Triumph and earn the coveted Reaper title. Although the season has long since passed, the hunt remains a nostalgic pursuit for completionists who still have access to the haunted destination—or for those who simply enjoy a trip down memory lane. This guide revisits every bobblehead location, complete with step-by-step descriptions and reference images, so players can relive the thrill of the chase.
The nine bobbleheads are split between the open world of the Derelict Leviathan (three) and the six Sever missions (one each). Finding them all is like solving a puzzle box that rewards patience with a tiny, grinning emperor. Below, we break down each location, including the conditions required to access them.
Castellum Bobblehead
After completing a Tier 3 Nightmare Containment run, two side rooms in the Castellum become accessible. The bobblehead room is on the opposite end of the Castellum, to the left of the spawn point. Players should head to the chest, open the door, and look right to spot the bobblehead. A Ghost mod that detects chests can quickly confirm whether the door is open after a run. Like a magician's rabbit hidden in a hat, this collectible only appears once the right trigger is pulled.
Royal Pools Bobblehead
Inside the Royal Pools—located left of spawn—players should enter the far-right corner of the area. There, a pit covered in Darkness growths leads to a corridor. Running to the end reveals the bobblehead nestled in a dark corner, like a secret whispered into a shadow.
Pleasure Gardens Bobblehead
The Pleasure Gardens are accessed through the middle door of the Castellum. From the entrance, players should run directly across to the Calus statue infested with Darkness. The bobblehead hides behind the statue, waiting to be claimed.
Sever – Shame Bobblehead
Partway through the Sever – Shame mission, players must activate multiple switches to deactivate a lockdown, including one with a wrench. In that same room, they should hop onto the platform above and enter a side room. Using pipes as platforms, climb to the top floor where the Calus bobblehead rests atop a crate.
Sever – Reconciliation Bobblehead
Start the Reconciliation mission and make your way to the pipes. Upon exiting the pipes, head right instead of left. Enter the pipe at the corner of the room and look left to find the bobblehead.
Sever – Grief Bobblehead
After defeating the Scorn enemies in a garden room, players must deploy a resonance sensor to open a door. In the following corridor, check the crates on the left—the bobblehead hides behind them.
Sever – Forgiveness Bobblehead
Right after meeting Commander Zavala, players enter an electrical tunnel. Halfway through, look right to find a set of blue-shaped turbines. The bobblehead sits above one of them.
Sever – Rage Bobblehead
When locked in the Engine room with the Gahlran clone, head to the room preceding the incineration chamber. Before entering the next room, look for a gap in the floor that lets players walk under the platform. Slide through the gap to find the bobblehead—a needle in a haystack of industrial machinery, visible only to those who know where to look.
Sever – Resolve Bobblehead
After helping Caiatl's troops clear out the Loyalists, escort them to the lower level tunnel. Halfway down, a slightly raised platform on the left leads to another room. Jump up and enter—the bobblehead hides near a raised shelf.
