The Grimoire is a database within Destiny. Entries were unlocked through playing the game in the form of "Grimoire Cards".[1][2]

The list of Grimoire entries is sorted into six main categories—Guardian, Inventory, Allies, Enemies, Places, and Activities. Each of these categories has a number of sub-categories. Grimoire cards were earned through various ways, such as completing a Story mission or Strike, playing a match on a Crucible map, reviving a Dead Ghost,[3] discovering a Calcified Fragment, or finding a Dormant SIVA Cluster. They were also unlocked by earning kills with specific weapon types; each rank allowed upgrading that weapon type to be faster.[3] Last but not least was a series of redeemable codes which could be inputted into Bungie's website that unlocked cards.[3]

Grimoire entries do not feature in Destiny 2, as the story is instead told in-game.[4] Following the release of Destiny 2, the Grimoire feature was removed from the Bungie website and the Destiny app. Cards and their corresponding bonuses are still unlocked in-game but they can not be viewed.

Not to be confused with the Destiny Grimoire Anthology, a collection of physical hardcover books containing both Grimoire and Lore material in printed form.
