[[File:MenagerieEntrance.png|thumb|right|400px|The Entrance of the Menagerie.]]

The Menagerie is a location within [[the Leviathan]]. It is unlocked after acquiring the Chalice of Opulence from [[Benedict 99-40]] in the [[Tower]] and completing the following questline.  

Calus describes it as the oldest deck in the Leviathan, and it was his home in exile. It now serves as an enclosure to all the different species Calus collected amidst his journeys, including the [[Hive]], [[Vex]], and [[Arkborn]], and pits them against the [[Guardians]] invited aboard for their pleasure and glory as well as his own entertainment.

The goal of the Menagerie is to accumulate enough points to arrive at the boss. To do so, players must complete various objectives within the varying encounters. When players do well within an encounter, Calus will demand that the Guardians must fight better opponents, where higher power leveled enemies will spawn. There is no darkness zone in the normal variant of the Menagerie, however, the respawn time is increased, players will have to pick each other up if one dies to progress more through the encounters. On heroic, however, there will be a darkness zone for every encounter, and a wipe will result in the team being sent to orbit. There exists 3 rotating boss fights ([[Hasapiko, Beloved by Calus]], [[Arunak, Beloved by Calus]], and [[Pagouri, Beloved by Calus]] and 7 total encounters to run through. The encounters include:

The Mockery is a mockery of the [[Blind Well]] from the [[Dreaming City]]. Unlike the Well, the safe zones shrink over time, and must be revitalised with the balls that are dropped by the Hive [[Wizards]]. Depending on remaining havens, occasionally, a [[Treasured Ogre]] or 2 will spawn to support the besieging Hive. They must be killed to gather points and remove a dangerous enemy from the field. The encounter ends with either all havens faltering, time running out, or the point requirement being reaching.

To complete this encounter, the Guardians must eliminate Vex Harpies, which drop void 'heads' similar to the ones found the [[Eater of Worlds]] raid. Taking the heads in hand, the Guardians must then unleash their power on several purple crystals around the room. Note, each head has enough energy in it for one crystal, plus an unknown amount for another, estimated to be 75%, however, a second crystal can be destroyed if the cranium's ammo is conserved and is carefully used to chip health away from the crystals; crystals are also destroyed quicker with [[Void]] Singe. Once all crystals are destroyed here, a Councilor's Vex spawns. They are to be quickly neutralized in order to either summon new crystals or end the encounter.
