Destiny 2 Tower Monument of Triumph Good Boy Protocol
What Changed
Archie moved from his old spot in the Tower Annex (near Ada-1) to a new lounge area in the Bazaar for the Monument of Triumph update. He is sitting next to Lodi (the emissary of the Nine) on a mat with a red rug/balcony area nearby.

Path to Archie

1
Tower Courtyard - Fast travel to the Tower, standard spawn point
2
Turn right and head down the stairs/path into the Bazaar
3
Pass the ramen shop and continue toward Ikora Rey
4
At Ikora Rey, look to your right for a hallway/entrance on the ground floor leading to a lounge deck
5
Archie is in the lounge area next to Lodi on his mat Destination
Petting
Walk up to Archie and hold the interact button when the prompt appears. This triggers the "Can You Pet the Dog?" triumph and Good Boy Protocol progress. He is a permanent fixture here for the current update.

Step-by-Step Navigation

1
Fast travel to the Tower. Spawn in at the standard Courtyard landing zone.
2
Turn right immediately and head into the Bazaar area. Follow the path past the ramen shop toward Ikora Rey. Do not go toward the Annex or Ada-1.
3
Continue through the market until you reach Ikora Rey. Once you are at her position, look right for a ground-floor hallway leading to a lounge deck with a red rug.
4
Enter the hallway. You will find Lodi (the Nine emissary) sitting in the lounge. Archie is right next to Lodi on his mat/blanket.
5
Hold interact on Archie to pet him. The "Can You Pet the Dog?" triumph and Good Boy Protocol progress should trigger immediately.

Key Decision Points

Old Annex Spot vs. New Bazaar Spot

Skip the Annex entirely. Archie is no longer near Ada-1. He relocated to the Bazaar lounge for Monument of Triumph. Do not waste time in the old area.

If You Cannot See Archie

Make sure you are in the social Tower instance, not a patrol or mission instance. Reload the Tower by going back to the Director and re-entering if the lounge appears empty.

Triumph Not Triggering

Approach Archie from the front or side and hold the interact button when the prompt appears on screen. Some players report it needs a moment or a specific approach angle to register.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

x Checking the Annex near Ada-1 or the Drifter area. Archie moved for a better view near the Traveler. That spot is empty now.
x Running past the Bazaar hallway. The lounge deck entrance is easy to miss - slow down after passing Ikora and look right at ground level.
x Assuming Archie was removed from the game. Community confirms he is just relocated and fully pettable in the new spot.
