If you're wondering where Archie is in Destiny 2, he's moved to a more comfortable location in west of the Tower for the Monument of Triumph update, so he won't be where you expect if you haven't played in a while – if you've not played Destiny 2 in several years, you might not even know who this cheerful robot dog is! The 'Can You Pet the Dog?' Triumph is a nice and easy one to complete for easy Legendary Marks, so here's where you need to look to find and pet Archie in Destiny 2.

Destiny 2 Archie location

Archie is found at the far end of the Tower Bazaar next to Lodi. From the Tower Courtyard, head right and follow the path down towards the Bazaar, then keep running straight until you go through a tall archway and reach a balcony area covered with red rugs and sheets. Atop the lounge decking in this area is where you'll find Archie and Lodi.

Approach Archie and follow the 'Activate Good Boy Protocol' button prompt to complete the 'Can You Pet the Dog?' Triumph. Make sure you claim the reward of 10 Legendary Marks by opening the Journey menu, then checking the Monument of Triumph page – it's found within the 'Tower' section of the 'Stories' tab.

10 Legendary Marks can't buy you much at the four Tenet statues in the Tower Courtyard, but cross off some of the other Triumphs from the list and you'll quickly be able to afford exclusive armor ornaments, weapons, and shaders. If you're after the Chatterwhite shader, you'll need to complete the Destiny 2 For The Bird Triumph first, which involves speaking to Hawthorne who is conveniently close to Archie. Head to the other side of the Tower and you can also find one of Xur's Destiny 2 Strange Leftovers for a different Triumph.
