The Monument of Triumph update brought over 200 new Triumphs to Destiny 2, and one of the most charming involves a robot dog that has quietly relocated. If you are hunting the Can You Pet the Dog? Triumph and cannot find Archie in his old spot, you are not alone. He has moved, and this guide shows you exactly where to go.
Where is Archie in the Tower?
Archie is no longer hanging out in his previous location. During Monument of Triumph, Archie can be found in the Bazaar, positioned behind Lodi, the emissary of the Nine who has taken up residence in the Tower.
Here is the exact route to reach him:
- Spawn into the Tower and head through the Courtyard.
- Take the stairs down into the Bazaar.
- Walk toward Ikora Rey until she is directly in front of you.
- Look to your right and enter the hallway on the ground floor.
- Pass through the hallway to find Lodi, and Archie will be sitting just behind her.
Hallway to Lodi and Archie
Archie sits beside Lodi as her companion, keeping the Nine's human representative company while you go about your Guardian business. The good news is that once you know this route, getting to him takes under a minute from any Tower spawn.
How do you pet Archie in Destiny 2?
Once you are standing next to Archie, the interaction prompt will appear. Press Square on PlayStation or X on Xbox to pet him. The game labels this action "Activate Good Boy Protocol", which is exactly the kind of detail Bungie lives for.
After petting Archie, head into your Triumphs and claim the Can You Pet the Dog? Triumph. This rewards you with free Legendary Marks, making the detour very much worth the thirty seconds it takes.
Activate Good Boy Protocol
What rewards do you get from petting Archie?
The emblem tally is a nice touch. Your emblem can display a running count of every time you have activated Good Boy Protocol, so if you want to rack up an absurd number, Archie is always waiting in the Bazaar.
Why did Archie move for Monument of Triumph?
Archie's new position makes narrative sense. Lodi arrived in the Tower as part of the Monument of Triumph content, and Archie now keeps her company in the Bazaar hallway. It is a small environmental storytelling beat, but it also means players who relied on muscle memory from earlier in the game's life will walk straight past his old spot without finding him.
The Monument of Triumph update is one of the largest content drops the game has seen recently, with more than 200 Triumphs available to complete. Archie's Triumph is one of the quickest to knock out, so it is a solid early stop if you are working through the list. For more on the update itself, the Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph preload guide covers platform-specific steps and timing.
Making the most of Monument of Triumph
Petting Archie takes about 60 seconds once you know the route, but the broader Monument of Triumph Triumph list is a serious time investment. The free Legendary Marks from completing Triumphs stack up quickly, so working through them efficiently matters. If you are also chasing weapon upgrades alongside your Triumph grind, the Destiny 2 guides collection has dedicated breakdowns for god rolls and farming routes that pair well with the current content cycle. Weapons like the Kindled Orchid and Eyasluna are worth farming while you are working through the Triumph list anyway.
