I cannot stop gushing over menagerie. It is a brilliant example of how to make a 6 player activity fun for solo players which has been the single greatest challenge destiny has faced since inception. To be able to play an activity with a complete bunch of randoms and still have so much fun is just awesome.
The activity achieves this in many brilliant ways:
1. Does not punish you for playing with un-coordinated teams.
2. Has raid-like encounters with easy to understand mechanics.
3. Helps you get the exact weapon/armor you want. (Chalice is just brilliant)
4. Filled with secrets.
Thank you Bungie & Vicarious Visions, y'all have crafted something truly special. I hope Menagerie becomes the new benchmark, the gold standard for 6-player match made activities going forward :)

https://chalice.recipes
For those asking for rune combinations, a fellow guardian’s work to help with that. This lets you emulate the chalice so you can choose a specific weapon/armor to know the exact rune combination you need to get it.
Quickest way to get imperials is to unlock power and efficiency 2. With this perk active there is a chance for imperials to drop from any playlist activity.
There are a number Of menagerie weapons from austringer, beloved to fixed odds each of them with the right rolls can be a beast.
A heads up to everyone trying to get to base light this season, the opening quest for menagerie is about half an hour long and gives you a complete set of 690 gear and weapons so it makes it a lot easier to get back into the game.

WoW, thank you for the upvotes y’all. Didn’t expect such a positive response. This community is awesome. Am glad so many people like the menagerie 😁 please give us more content like this Bungie 😊

Menagerie has the attitude and scope of a raid, but the accessibility of a strike. I'm still down for races like Zero Hour and dungeons like Shattered Throne, but you gotta admit Menagerie is really popular especially considering all the great gear you can roll from it.
