To reach the entrance to the Shattered Throne, you must use one of the portals scattered around the [[Dreaming City]] to enter the Confluence. Follow the path to the central room and you should see a giant Taken gateway in a large room, with a [[Techeun]] standing in front of it. Approach the gateway and follow the prompt it gives you to enter the Shattered Throne. As of Shadowkeep, this is no longer required as you can enter the dungeon directly from the Director.

When you enter Mara Sov’s throne world, you will see a large door in front of you. Have your fireteam go through that door, and enter the labyrinth. Continue to advance until you enter a restricted zone. It should be at one end of a broken bridge. On the other side of the chasm, you'll see a group of [[Taken Acolyte]]s and a [[Taken Knight]] miniboss called a Labyrinth Architect. Kill them, but be wary of the Acolytes. They will constantly spawn numerous Acolyte's Eyes until they are defeated. Once you kill all the enemies and the miniboss, a symbol will pop up.

Travel to the location with the corresponding symbol (there are maps online if you have trouble finding each location). There you will find another Taken miniboss, along with a group of Acolytes. Kill them. Once all the enemies are dead, another symbol directing you to somewhere else in the map will appear. Go there. Repeat this process until you have to go back to the beginning. While on the way from destination to destination, various Taken enemies will spawn to block your path, such as Phalanxes, Captains, and hordes of Thrall. There will also be Taken Hobgoblins sniping you from above. It is not required to kill them, but it is highly recommended as it will make this entire section easier.

Follow the path. You will eventually be met with a choice: follow the outside of the rock face or go inside. Both paths take you to the same place. Either way, once you make it to the other side, you will find a large group of Taken Phalanxes. Kill them all to get to the next encounter.

Here you arrive at the first boss, [[Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger]], arguably the hardest part of the entire dungeon. This encounter has a special type of [[Taken Wizard]] known as the [[Keeper of Petitions]]. In order to do damage to Vorgeth, you will need to kill the Wizards and pick up the orbs they drop. You will receive a buff called “Petitioner's Mark" that stacks three times. There will also be a 45-second timer on the buff. If it reaches zero, the holder of the buff will die and you'll have to kill however many Wizards you've defeated again. Once you collect the fourth orb, the buff will change to “Petitioner's Burden,which also has a 45-second timer. Extinguish the buff at one of the 4 pillars in the center of the room to start the damage phase. You'll have a short amount of time to deal as much damage to Vorgeth as possible. Once the damage phase is over, the Wizards and ads will respawn. Repeat this process as many times as it takes to kill Vorgeth, although it is certainly possible to do it in one phase. A recommended strategy for this encounter is to use a long-range primary weapon like a Scout Rifle or a Bow to kill all the ads in the room from the safe areas near the entrance. Once all of them are dead, bring all four Wizards to very low health without killing them. Then kill all four Wizards in rapid succession and extinguish the buff to start damaging Vorgeth. While immune, Vorgeth will attack with powerful eye blasts that knock you back and deal severe damage. During the damage phases, he attacks with swarms of Axion Darts. Shooting the darts will destroy them and keep you safe from damage. A recommended loadout for this encounter is any kinetic bow to kill ads, [[Telesto]] for the Keepers, and a grenade launcher with the Spike Grenades perk for boss damage. If you're running the dungeon with a group, have someone using [[Tractor Cannon]] and/or Well of Radiance or Ward of Dawn to help deal extra damage.

Once Vorgeth is dead, go through the door in the center. If this is your first time in the dungeon or you simply haven't done so before, interact with the statue. Next, jump down a series of platforms and ascend a gravitational lift. The path from there is fairly straightforward. If you get confused, just follow the enemies.
