Many players still search for ways to cheese Morgeth in Destiny 2, especially if they only need to reach the Corrupted Egg after the encounter or want a faster raid completion. Over the years, several methods have appeared, while others have been patched by Bungie. Because of that, it is important to know which strategies are outdated and which ones still work before spending time attempting them.
What Is the Morgeth Encounter?
Morgeth, the Spirekeeper is the third major encounter in the Last Wish raid. During the fight, players collect Taken Strength while preventing the boss from reaching maximum power. Team members must rescue trapped allies, manage debuffs, and trigger a damage phase before defeating the massive Taken Ogre.
Normally, this encounter requires communication and proper positioning, making it one of the easier but still mechanic-heavy raid fights.
What Does “Cheesing” Morgeth Mean?
Cheesing Morgeth refers to defeating or bypassing the encounter without completing its intended mechanics. Instead of gathering Taken Strength, freeing teammates, and dealing damage normally, players exploit the game’s physics or enemy interactions to remove Morgeth from the arena instantly.
These methods are usually discovered by the community rather than intended by Bungie. As a result, they can disappear after future updates.
Can You Still Cheese Morgeth?
Yes, but not every historical cheese still works.
Older methods, including the famous Heat Rises push strategy that Warlocks used several years ago, have largely become unreliable or no longer function as they originally did. If you find an old video showing that method, there is a good chance it is outdated.
The most commonly discussed modern approach relies on unusual physics interactions that launch Morgeth off the map. Players often refer to this as the “yeet” or “pinch” cheese. It depends on positioning an enemy correctly and using specific finishers that interact with the game’s physics.
Since this strategy relies on unintended mechanics, its success is inconsistent and could be patched at any time.
How the Modern Morgeth Cheese Works
Although the exact positioning takes practice, the general process looks like this:
- Start the Morgeth encounter.
- Leave a suitable enemy alive near Morgeth.
- Position yourself carefully between the enemy and the boss.
- Perform a compatible finisher on the nearby enemy.
- If the physics interaction triggers correctly, Morgeth may be launched off the map.
- Once Morgeth dies outside the playable area, the encounter completes automatically.
The trick depends almost entirely on correct positioning and timing. Even experienced players may need several attempts before it works.
Why Players Use the Cheese
There are several reasons players continue attempting this strategy.
- Faster raid completions.
- Easier access to the Corrupted Egg beyond Morgeth.
- Farming certain checkpoints.
- Avoiding raid mechanics when playing with inexperienced groups.
- Simply experimenting with funny physics interactions.
For many players, launching a giant Taken Ogre across the map is entertaining enough to justify trying the method.
Things You Should Know Before Trying It
The Morgeth cheese is far from guaranteed.
Because it depends on unintended physics behavior, different finishers, subclasses, enemy positions, and even minor movement differences can affect whether it succeeds.
Keep these points in mind:
- Expect multiple failed attempts.
- Some finishers work better than others.
- Positioning matters more than damage output.
- Future updates may remove the exploit completely.
- Success is never guaranteed.
If your goal is simply completing Last Wish, fighting Morgeth normally is often faster than repeatedly attempting the cheese.
Should You Use the Cheese?
That depends on your objective.
If you only need one successful clear for collectibles or achievements, spending time learning the exploit might be worthwhile.
However, if your fireteam already understands the encounter mechanics, completing Morgeth legitimately is usually quicker and more consistent. The encounter itself is relatively short once everyone knows their responsibilities.
For players who raid regularly, learning the actual mechanics is far more valuable than relying on an exploit that could disappear after the next update.
