How to get Xenophage in Destiny 2: The Journey Quest

by Ryan Schilling | Apr 24, 2024

The Journey is an exotic quest that begins near Sorrow’s Harbor on the Moon. From the transmat point, head towards the central Hive fortress in the area. Inside the main entrance, look for a hallway to your left and follow it until you reach the area called the Enduring Abyss. Continue down the path and keep an eye out for a ledge on the right side of the hallway. Jump up here to find yourself in a place you may find familiar from the Shadowkeep campaign. This is the balcony overlooking the first pyramid ship that we discovered.

Around this balcony, you will notice four Hive statues. You need to activate these statues in the correct order to begin your quest. The order is as follows:

• The right statue nearest the pyramid ship
• The left statue furthest from the pyramid ship
• The left statue nearest the pyramid ship
• The right statue furthest from the pyramid ship

Hive Statues, Xenophage Quest

Once you activate the statues in the correct order, a chest will appear containing the beginning of your quest for the exotic heavy machine gun Xenophage.

Xenophage Exotic Quest Requirements

The Xenophage exotic quest does have one pre-requisite – you must own Destiny 2’s expansion Shadowkeep which grants access to The Journey exotic quest.

How To Unlock Xenophage, Step-By-Step

Step 1: emerge from the darkness.

After you have successfully begun your quest, fast-travel to the Sanctuary transmat location on The Moon, mount your Sparrow, and immediately head down the right path toward Anchor of Light. Once you reach Anchor of Light, head left toward the Fallen outpost built on the cliffside. 

Inside this outpost, you will find a mount of what appears to be Hive growth. Interact with this mount to pick up the Light and you will receive the buff Torch Bearer which will begin a countdown timer. Your objective now is to seek out braziers located in the area and light them. The first one can be found in the very same room where you picked up the ball of Light. 

How to get Xenophage, Destiny 2

From the first brazier, head north and take the path toward the center of the Anchor of Light area. Before you reach the triangle-shaped Fallen outpost draped in purple tarps, turn left to find an alcove that drops into a pit. On the ledge near this pit is your second brazier to light.

From the second brazier, head back towards the initial outpost, but look for a small building quickly to your left. Inside this room, you will find your third brazier to continue lighting your path.

The next brazier is tucked away in the upper levels and criss-crossing bars of the initial outpost. Head back to that outpost, jump your way up to the fourth brazier, and light it.

Next, follow the cliffside of the initial outpost until you notice a short ramp half-buried in the sand to the top of a cubic structure. At the top of the ramp will be your fifth brazier.

The sixth brazier is fairly simple to find. Jump onto the top of the central circular building in Anchor of Light and it can be found right in the middle of the roof. Lighting this sixth brazier should grant you the new buff Torch Bearer. 

With the Torch Bearer buff in hand, head back towards the initial outpost where your path began, but before you reach it, look for a small Hive pylon with an opening on it. Here is where you will deposit your ball of light and “emerge from the dark”. Congratulations on completing the first step of your quest towards obtaining Xenophage!

Step 2: Find the Fragments

The next step in your quest will have you navigating to four Lost Sectors around The Moon. After you complete each Lost Sector, you will find a set of Hive runes laid out in 3 rows and 3 columns that will be the key to securing these fragments. You need to shoot these runes in a particular order. Wait for the flame animation over the runes to complete after each shot to ensure your selection is locked in. Once you correctly shoot the sequence of runes, a chest will spawn containing the required Path Fragments for completing this quest step.

In the K1 Communion Lost Sector , you will need to complete the Lost Sector and shoot the runes found here in the following order:

• Bottom Left
• Bottom Right

In K1 Crew Quarters , your sequence of runes is a bit longer. Complete the Lost Sector and shoot the runes in the following order:

• Middle Left
• Middle Middle
• Bottom Middle

In K1 Revelation , the order for shooting the Hive runes is as follows:

• Middle Right

If you are following this guide in order, only K1 Logistics remains. The sequence is as follows:

Step 3: The Pit of Heresy

The next quest step will require you to jump into the Pit of Heresy Dungeon . Progress through the dungeon as normal until you reach the infamous crevasse with many doors on the other side. With Fireteam Finder, you should find a fireteam to help you complete the initial parts of the dungeon while more skilled players are likely to be able to navigate to this part of the dungeon solo.

Jump to the ledge just to the upper left of the doorway directly across the abyss. You will need to jump straight up to the next ledge directly above you. Continue repeating this to scale the wall. Once you get some good height and reach the next level of doors, begin heading further left hugging the wall. There will be an open door with some rubble inside. Near the rubble will be one Hive rune you can interact with to “Reveal Path’s End.”

Step 4: The Pit of Heresy Continued

After securing the next step of the quest from the room of many doors, continue through the dungeon as normal until you reach the encounter where you must hide and avoid the Hive Ogres. Head towards the cliffside and drop down to the lower level found there. Near the cliff’s edge on this lowest level, you will find a plate covered in Hive runes. Interact with this plate to reveal the path forward.

Platforms will rise out of the abyss below. Carefully begin platforming across them to pick up the Light ball from the furthest platform. Once you have the ball of Light, head back towards where you entered the Ogre encounter. From the point where you entered the encounter, turn right and look for the second door on the right and deposit your ball of light there. 

This door will open the path to a secret boss, Volmar, The Tempted, who is the obstacle between you and your precious Xenophage. To defeat this boss you will need to leverage various damage types. Ensure you or your fireteam have weapons or subclasses that generate Solar, Arc, Void, and Kinetic damage.

Before you enter the boss room, you’ll encounter a group of Thrall. Dispatch them and then take a look around the room. You’ll see Hive runes and below them, an elemental type. You’ll also notice you have a buff such as “Fiery Dread”, “Thunderous Dread”, “Neutral Dread”, or “Abyssal Dread”. The core mechanic in this encounter is to pay attention to the buff that you have in the bottom left and dunk the Light ball at the rune that corresponds with the buff that you have active. Memorize the runes and elements in the room before the boss and you should be golden. Upon depositing the Light ball, you will receive a damage buff and you should quickly switch to your weapon of the same element and begin dealing damage to the boss.

Defeating Volmar, The Tempted will grant you the final step in your quest for Xenophage. Whether you complete the rest of the dungeon is up to you as the final step only requires us to return to Eris Morn via the Sanctuary transmat location and pick up your glorious new Exotic Heavy Machine Gun!

Divine Fragmentation Reward

Congratulations on securing one of the best damage-dealing weapons in Destiny 2! This Exotic Machine Gun not only deals great boss damage but also provides unique utility in encounters such as the Oracles in The Vault of Glass.

That is all you need to know to complete the Xenophage exotic quest, The Journey. We hope this guide helped you in growing your exotic collection. For more Destiny 2 guides like this one, keep that Xenophage locked to Blueberries.gg! We cover the Hunters’ Remembrance quest and Starcrossed quest here.

Unlock Xenophage, The Journey quest - Destiny 2

Unlock Xenophage in Destiny 2 by completing The Journey quest on the Moon for Eris Morn.

Xenophage is one of Destiny 2’s most powerful Exotic Machine Guns. What it lacks in ammo capacity and speed it makes up for in raw, overwhelming power. To unlock Xenophage, players will need to complete a quest called The Journey for Eris Morn, which starts on the Moon.

Xenophage, Exotic Machine Gun

The Xenophage Exotic Machine Gun is a Solar Power weapon that uses Heavy ammo – which surprises no one. The gun was originally introduced during Season 8 , Shadowkeep and Season of the Undying, and has seen continual use since then.

Players that unlock Xenophage will be treated to one of the slowest firing Machine Guns in Destiny 2, featuring a 120 PRM. But, more on its perks and stats below.

The Journey Exotic quest

Unlocking Xenophage will require a bit of footwork, some puzzle solving, and venturing into the Pit of Heresy dungeon . Here are the steps to unlock Xenophage:

• Go to the Enduring Abyss below the Moon
• Use a ball of light in the Anchor of Light to light up six locations
• Solve puzzles in the Moon Lost Sectors
• Enter the Pit of Heresy and find the hidden item after the first encounter
• Collect a charge during the Pariah Ogre section and use it to light two brazier to open a door
• Slay Volmar, the Tempted

Step 1: Go to the Enduring Abyss

To get The Journey quest for Xenophage, you will need to reach the Enduring Abyss area beneath the Moon. Begin by loading in at the Sanctuary fast-travel point on the Moon. Head through the portal near Eris (if it's there) and follow to the point where you can see the pyramid. If the portal is not there, you'll have to take the long way. Use the embedded video below to help you find the Enduring Abyss location.

When you reach Enduring Abyss you'll find four statues, two on either side from where you look out towards the pyramid. Do not touch any statues until you're ready to begin. They should not be lit at all.

You will need to light them in the correct order. To do this, approach the statues in a clockwise direction and press the interact button when the message “Emerge from the Dark” appears. When all four are lit, a chest will spawn which contains The Journey, the Exotic quest for the Xenophage Exotic Machine Gun in Destiny 2.

Step 2: Emergence

The actual first step of The Journey will take Guardians to the Anchor of Light region on the Moon. Once there, an orb (ball of light, if you will) can be picked up. This light can then be taken to six nearby locations. At each one, Guardians will have to hold the interact button to Light Your Path. The six locations must be hit in the correct order, which is why we have a video of this step embedded below.

Step 3: Pathfinder - Lost Sector puzzles

The Pathfinder section of The Journey tasks players with solving puzzles in Lost Sectors. These are flip puzzles, where shooting a symbol flips all the symbols on its cardinal plane to the next icon. The puzzles are all found at the very end of the Lost Sector, after defeating the boss and going through a locked door.

You will need to complete all four puzzles in each of the Moon’s Lost Sectors to find the path fragments. Credit to the Raid Secrets community for the solution to some of these puzzles.

K1 Revelation

• Left middle
• Bottom middle
• Right middle

K1 Logisitcs

• Bottom left

K1 Communion

• Left bottom
• Right bottom

K1 Crew Quarters

• Middle bottom

Step 4: Descent

The next step to unlock Xenophage is to dive into the Pit of Heresy dungeon. Depending on your experience level, you can either do this solo or as a fireteam of three.

Clear the first encounter, collect your reward from the chest, and then press onwards. When you reach the wall covered in doors, look up to the left to spot one without a chain hanging over it. Use the wall to climb up to this door. Inside you will find a stone you can interact with that reads "Reveal Path's End". Interact with the stone and move on to the next step.

Step 5: Discovery

The next step also takes place in the Pit of Heresy dungeon, in the second encounter with the invincible Pariah Ogres. Along the left-hand side of the area is an abyss, but there's a ledge just over the edge. Drop down to it and stand on the plate while holding the appropriate button to "reveal a path". Jump across the floating platforms and collect the charge.

Take it back the way you came, sticking to the right-hand wall. You will need to use the charge to light two plates near a small door. This causes the door to open, granting you access to a hidden boss and the last step. This whole step is best attempted when the ogres disappear after clearing the encounter.

Step 6: Slay Volmar, the Tempted

The final step in unlocking Xenophage is to defeat a hidden boss in the Pit of Heresy dungeon, Volmar, the Tempted. This boss fight requires you to use specific elemental damage against Volmar.

When you enter the first room, look at the bottom left of your screen to see what elemental charge you have. Find this element type in the corners of the first room. You will need to memorize the symbol as you must now find that symbol in the boss room. Go into the boss room and search for the symbol. When you find it, activate it. This will give you a short timer allowing you to deal damage of that specific element type. When the time is up, you will need to repeat the process of finding the matching symbol. 

Repeat this until Volmar, the Tempted dies. At this point, you can return to Eris Morn to unlock the Xenophage Exotic Machine Gun.

Xenophage perks

The majority of Xenophage’s perks are rather average and even unassuming. However, they work together to make this thing hit like a truck.

• Full Bore – Barrel optimized for distance. Greatly increases range, decreases stability, and slightly decreases handling speed.
• High-Caliber Rounds – Shots from this weapon knock the target back farther. Slightly increases range.
• Rangefinder – Aiming this weapon increases its effective range and zoom magnification. Increased projectile velocity while aiming Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers.
• Composite Stock – This weapon has a versatile dual-purpose stock. Slightly increases stability and handling speed.

Xenophage’s Exotic perk is Pyrotoxin Rounds. This is what makes it so powerful.

• Pyrotoxin Rounds – Fires high-powered explosive ammunition.

This unassuming perk ensures that Xenophage deals ludicrous damage. In fact, if you’re not using Anarchy, you’re likely going to want to use Xenophage as your boss damage tool. It’s even great at knocking down Champions and Wyverns.

Xenophage lore

This might sting a little.

There was only darkness… until there was Light. Again. A third time. I knew it. Knew I'd be back one day—only this time, I was something else. Something… not Human. Not by choice, of course. Those damn Hive. They weren't just tryin' to kill me. They were using me to get to my Light. To drain it from my soul. For their sick experiments. But the idiots screwed up. They didn't just drain my Light. They took the whole lot. The entire thing. Soul and all. I'm still me. I'm just not the me I knew. The one with two arms and two legs. I'm something smaller now. But honestly, it's no bother. The fire inside me… it came too. And it rages now more than ever before. The fools have no clue what they've done. No idea the price they'll pay. I'll have my vengeance. In this life, not the next. —Omar Agah

Unlocking Xenophage in Destiny 2 is a lengthy process that requires fighting through the Pit of Heresy dungeon as part of the quest, The Journey. As with all dungeon runs, it's best to take a fireteam with you. Check out our Shacknews Destiny 2 complete strategy guide for more Exotic weapon walkthroughs.

Destiny 2 Xenophage quest: How to complete The Journey and Pathfinder puzzle steps

How to get the Shadowkeep exotic machine gun.

Destiny 2's Xenophage is an Exotic quest for those who have purchased Year 3 expansion Shadowkeep.

Released on weekly reset on October 29th, 2019 alongside Festival of the Lost, starting this machine gun works a little differently to most quests - so you might need a pointer of where to look.

However, like the recent Season of the Undying exclusive Leviathan's Breath , earning the Xenophage is shorter than most Exotic quests, and the bulk of it can be completed solo before having to delve into the Moon's Pit of Heresy dungeon.

On this page:

How to get Xenophage in Destiny 2 in brief

How to get start the xenophage quest in destiny 2, how to complete the journey's emergence step in destiny 2, how to solve pathfinder's four path fragment puzzles, where to find the descent 'path uncovered' and 'path's end' step in the xenophage quest, how to defeat volar, the tempted to finish the xenophage quest.

Here's a quick rundown of the steps needed to obtain Xenophage :

• Interact with the statues near the Pyramid to start the quest
• Light the six plates in Anchor of Light
• Complete the four puzzles at the end of the K1 Lost Sectors on the Moon
• Find the hidden switch within the Pit of Heresy dungeon
• Find the hidden orb later in the Pit of Heresy dungeon to open a secret room
• Defeat the secret boss, Volmar, the Tempted
• Return to Eris

Once the above steps have been completed, Xenophage is all yours.

To begin the Xenophage quest, head to Shadowkeep's Moon destination. You'll want to head to the area next to the Pyramid, except the portal by Eris isn't around to take you there - so you have to get there on foot.

To do this, head to the Sorrow's Harbour area, then go north through the gates of the keep.

There is a path on the left at the end of this area - take it.

Continue along it until you reach the Enduring Abyss area.

Now go just a little further down the corridor, until you see a lantern of sorts on the ground.

Just beyond it, and up and right in the wall, is a path you can take. Leap up and take it.

Continue going and you'll reach the area the portal would take you to.

Now, to start the Xenophage quest, locate the four statues to the sides - two on the left and two on the right.

You can now interact with them with the 'Emerge from the Dark' prompt, lighting it up. The aim is to light all four.

Though it could be random, we interacted with them in an anti-clockwise fashion, the closest one right first, then furthest right, then round furthest left then closest left.

Whether it works for you or not, continue interacting with them until all four light up. Doing so will see a message saying 'You have emerged from the dark - claim your path!' appear on screen, and cause a chest to spawn.

Open the chest to receive the start of the Xenophage quest The Journey, the first step of which is named Emergence.

Head to the Anchor of Light on the Moon, then head to the north-west where you'll find some yellow buildings, including one with a large radio tower:

Directly south of that is a smaller one with a doorway facing it:

Inside, you'll find the following orb location:

You need to dunk this in six locations in the surrounding area, one after another. You have one minute between each dunk before the orb disappears. We recommend scoping out the locations before hand, so you know exactly where to go. You should have plenty of time if you know where you're going first!

The locations are as follows:

1. In the same room as you pick up the orb:

2. Leave this building and head north, following the path round to the more open area, where there's the orange building in the distance. On the hill directly to the left, you'll a large fallen radio tower leaning against the hill. Underneath where it leans is the next orb deposit point.

3. Look south so you are facing the large saucer-like building in the middle of the area. Opposite that on the ground is a small yellow building. The next location is inside.

4. Head back to the north-west part of Anchor of Light to where the large radio tower is. You need to climb up the tower (approach from the south / facing the building where you found the orb) and when you go one level up, it's on the north side, on the outer edge.

5. Look north to see more yellow buildings on the ground. There's a ramp leading up to the one on the right. At the top of that is the next location.

6. Head back to the other area where the giant saucer building is, and the location is right on top.

Now to finish, you need to head back one final time towards the radio tower. There will be a waypoint on your screen at the edge of a raised path when you get close.

Activating this will then give you the Pathfinder quest step.

Next, you have to visit all four Moon K1 Lost Sectors and solve a puzzle. These appear at the end, so complete the Lost Sector as usual, then find the puzzle as you take the route leading out.

To solve it, shooting a panel will change those around it, and you have to keep going until they all match the standalone icon above the grid.

There are multiple ways to do these, but these should work for you (thanks Sipder on reddit for helping with some of the following solutions):

K1 Communion (Anchor of Light)

• Bottom left
• Bottom right

K1 Logistics (Archer's Line)

• Centre right

Swapping the last two round (Centre then Centre right) also works.

K1 Revelation (Sorrow's Harbour)

• Centre left
• Centre bottom

K1 Crew Quarters (Hellmouth)

If you get any wrong as you input, you can try and work out the solution yourself from where you left off. That said, these are tough puzzles, so it might be easier to re-run the Lost Sector to reset the puzzle and try again.

Complete each one - giving you a Path Fragment each time - so you then receive the Descent quest, with the 'Path Uncovered' step.

Once that's done, it's time to take a trip to the Year 3 dungeon Pit of Heresy. If you haven't already, you need to unlock it first before you can start exploring.

First, you need to find a hidden switch. Complete the first encounter to come to an area with a wall of doors on either side of a path. You have to travel to an upper left door that's different to the others, where you'll find the switch inside.

Here is Fuzzy Bearbarian on YouTube showing the 'Path Uncovered' location:

Once you have done the 'Path Uncovered' step, continue Pit of Heresy until you reach the second encounter, then travel down the left side to come to a giant cavern on your left, glowing green with a giant rib cage below.

Continue along the edge of this path, down the lower path, to find a plate. Activating it reveals platforms to the side, with an orb you can collect it.

Take it back the way you came until you find a route on your right. There is a door here, which you can dunk the orb in. This will lead you to a hidden room with a secret boss.

Here is WoW Quests on YouTube to show where you need to go:

The Season of the Deep is here alongside the Into the Depths quest. You can know go fishing too! Don't forget to keep an eye on the Lost Sector and King's Fall challenge rotation schedule!

To defeat Volmar, The Tempted, you have to grab orbs and dunk them in locations related to the buff you have been given.

It's worth scoping out the room first to find their locations, but it's easy to work out where each goes, as there's an elemental effect relating to the buff - Thunderous is Arc, Abyss is Void, Fiery is Solar and Neutral is Kinetic (which is the only dunking spot with no real effect).

Once you have done that, you can then damage the boss. The buff you have also relates to the damage you can then dish out at this point.

Repeat this until the boss is done for. Here is Esoterickk with how the boss goes down (performed as a solo encounter):

Once the boss is complete, visit Eris to receive the Xenophage Exotic. You don't need to complete Pit of Heresy, so if you get stuck from here, the good news is at least you have done everything needed for this quest!

Destiny 2: How to Get the Xenophage Exotic Machine Gun

Xenophage is a top-tier Exotic Heavy Machine Gun and has been since its introduction in the Shadowkeep expansion. Though there are more optimal DPS choices in Destiny 2 , you’ll want to know how to get this weapon. That’s because Xenophage has high burst potential and relatively good ammo economy. Here’s how to complete The Journey Exotic quest.

How to Get the Xenophage Exotic Machine Gun in Destiny 2

To get Xenophage, you’ll need to complete an Exotic quest called The Journey . Even starting the quest is a bit complicated. We’ll go over all the steps below.

How to Start The Journey Quest in Destiny 2

To start The Journey Exotic quest, be sure that you own the Shadowkeep expansion, then head to Sorrow’s Harbor on the Moon .

Travel to the northern edge of the area and enter the Scarlet Keep, taking the leftmost doorway. Travel until you reach a light greenlit hallway, and keep an eye out for another passageway in the upper-right wall.

Jump into the passage, and follow it until you reach the chamber, where you can see the Lunar Pyramid and two Hive statues on either side.

To complete the first step of The Journey quest, activate the statues in the proper order . Approaching them will show the message, “Emerge from the Dark.”

The correct order is below. These positions assume “back” is the side closest to the Pyramid . Once correctly activated, a hidden chest will appear. Open it to start the Journey quest in earnest.

• Front right

How to Complete Emergence: The Journey Step 1

The first step of The Journey Xenophage Exotic quest is called Emergence.  Head to the Anchor of Light area on the right side of the Moon . Go to the northwest portion beneath the large, multi-story Fallen structure. There’s a small room there with a fiery altar.

You’ll be lighting a total of 6 Braziers in this step. Pick up the light to activate a 60-second timer. Each Brazier you light resets the timer to 60 seconds.

Brazier Location #1

Go to the small unlit brazier on the floor nearby, and light it to refresh your timer. 

Brazier Location #2

From the small room, head out and hang a left. When you see the other orange Fallen building, keep to the left. On a platform above a blue tarp-covered box is the second brazier.

Brazier Location #3

From the second brazier, turn around to the small room across from the large circular structure. The brazier is tucked into a dark corner.

Brazier Location #4

Head out the opposite opening from where you entered and go toward the multi-story Fallen building. Clamber into the support beams to find the next brazier at a vertex on the edge of the structure. You can also light this brazier from below if you’re having trouble reaching the beams themselves.

Brazier Location #5

From the Fallen building, head directly across the area to a small structure with two large generators. The next brazier is to their left.

Brazier Location #6

For the final brazier, jump on top of the large circular building. It’s at the center of the roof.

Once you’ve lit all the braziers, you have one more place to go but an infinite amount of time to get there.

From the circular building, head back toward the first and fourth brazier locations at the multi-story Fallen building. Instead of going all the way there, stop near the cliffside next to a Hive altar jutting out of the ground. Deposit the light.

How to Complete Pathfinder: The Journey Step 2

The second step of The Journey quest for the Xenophage is a bit more straightforward than the first. Your task during Pathfinder is twofold:

• Complete all four Lost Sectors on the Moon
• Solve a brief rune puzzle after the final loot chest

Complete each Lost Sector and loot the last chest to unlock the ability to complete the puzzle safely . The puzzle solutions are below, presented as positions and as numbers as you’d see on a phone. You simply shoot the runes in the following orders:

K1 Communion in Anchor of Light Rune Puzzle Solution

• 7 or Bottom left
• 9 or Bottom right
• 2 or Top middle

K1 Logistics in Archer’s Line Rune Puzzle Solution

• 1 or Top left
• 5 or Middle
• 6 or Middle right

K1 Revelation in Sorrow’s Harbor Rune Puzzle Solution

• 4 or Middle left
• 6 or Middle left
• 2 or Middle top
• 8 or Middle bottom

K1 Crew Quarters in the Hellmouth Rune Puzzle Solution

• 3 or Top right
• 8 or Bottom middle

How to Complete Descent: The Journey Step 3

Steps three, four, and five — Descent, Discovery, and Volmar, the Tempted — all take place inside the Pit of Heresy Dungeon . You’ll only need to complete one of the four main encounters in the Dungeon. We’ve covered everything you need to know about Pit of Heresy in our full walkthrough .

For step three of the Journey, Descent, complete the first encounter and proceed until you reach the wall of doors. Instead of heading down and to your right to the Ogre maze, look up and to your left.

Look for the one door without a rune above it . If you’re using the door directly in front of you as the starting point, the door you want is one level up and two columns to the left.

Platform your way to the door and head inside. There will be a Hive runestone within that you can interact with, giving you the next step in the quest, Discovery.

How to Complete Discovery: The Journey Step 4

For Discovery, head into the Ogre maze. Rather than ducking into the middle caves, keep left until you reach the cliff. Jump down onto the lower platform until you reach a plate in the ground covered in Hive runes.

Activate the plate to raise three floating platforms from the chasm, with another light ball on the final platform. Grab the light ball, head back to the main area, and go right.

Take the tunnels to the right until you begin seeing red-lit doorways flanked by braziers like the ones you lit at the beginning of The Journey quest. You’ll be able to interact with the second door; don’t worry if the prompt doesn’t populate properly. Interact with both braziers to proceed to the next step.

How to Beat Volmar, the Tempted: The Journey Step 5

Make your way through the small maze until you reach a starting area with four Hive runes in each corner . These are the four elemental Dread buffs you’ll be using in the boss fight coming up shortly.

As soon as you enter the next room, Volmar, the Tempted, will appear, a boss-level Hive Wizard that’s completely invincible at first.

You and each member of your fireteam will receive a Dread buff based on one of the four damage elements available during Shadowkeep:

• Kinetic (Neutral Dread)
• Void (Abyssal Dread)
• Arc (Thunderous Dread)
• Solar (Fiery Dread)

To damage the boss, you’ll need to collect the light ball in the center of the arena and then interact with the proper rune to activate it and be able to do damage.

• Abyssal Dread : Top left on the upper platform
• Thunderous Dread : Bottom left on the lower floor
• Fiery Dread : Top right on the lower floor
• Neutral Dread : Bottom right on the upper platform

Once you dunk the light, you can damage the boss, but only with the element noted in your Dread buff. All other elements will register as immune. Repeat this process as often as it takes to kill Volmar — and don’t die. A full team wipe (or a single death if solo) will send you back to the start of the fight .

Once Volmar dies and you progress the quest, you can leave the Pit of Heresy Dungeon. Nothing else here matters to get Xenophage.

How to Complete Finality: The Journey Step 6

All step six entails is visiting Eris Morn and picking up your reward: the Xenophage Exotic Heavy Machine Gun.

The Xenophage Machine Gun you receive won’t be a Pinnacle or Powerful drop. It will be awarded at your current Power level . You don’t have to claim it immediately unless you want to, saving it to fill in a Power gap if you’re optimizing your leveling. However, you can also always infuse it later and get the most out of the weapon as you play.

And that’s how to complete The Journey quest and get the Xenophage Exotic Machine Gun. If you’re looking for additional help with Destiny 2 ’s collection of Exotics, check out our Gjallarhorn , Unfinished Business , and Winterbite Exotic weapons guides. Our D2 guides hub has much more.

Destiny 2: how to get the Xenophage exotic machine gun

How to get the Xenophage in Destiny 2—our complete quest guide.

With the launch of the Festival of the Lost, Bungie has also released its latest exotic weapon quest: The Journey. 

Through completing The Journey, players will be able to unlock the new exotic machine gun, Xenophage. 

As Destiny 2’s second exotic machine gun, Xenophage offers a unique and powerful set of perks. Its slow rate of fire makes it feel more like a single-shot anti-artillery weapon, but holding the trigger proves it is an automatic. 

Each shot fired from this 13 round magazine provides a devastating punch with a small explosive radius that can tear through waves of enemies. In total the weapon can hold two magazines of ammo and its inability to deal crit damage seems a little odd, but it was able to tear through Nightmares with ease so it’s definitely worth getting. 

Here’s how to pick up Xenophage.

Step 1: Embrace the Light

To start this quest you’ll need to go to the Moon and enter the portal next to Eris (you can also get here through Sorrow’s Harbor). While in the room where Eris usually sits after completing a memory you will see four statues. Each statue can be interacted with and will light one of the other four statues around the room.

To successfully light all four at once, interact with the statues in the following order (taken from the perspective of entering the room): front right, back left, front left. Upon lighting the final statue, a chest will appear and reward you with The Journey.

Step 2: Lighting the way

After acquiring The Journey you will be given some very cryptic steps that allude to the Anchor of Light on the Moon. Head to the Anchor of Light and move towards the large tower on the left side. Within the small building under the tower to the left when you enter there will be a fire. Interacting with this fire will give you a buff. 

When in possession of the buff you will need to run around the Anchor of Light and activate six lecterns in a specific order. If you fail to interact with these lecterns in the right order, you will lose your buff and will need to start over. You can see the correct path below, with help from our pals at GamesRadar+ .

Step 3: Solve the Lost Sector puzzles

After lighting the fires in the previous step you’ll be treated to another series of rather ambiguous clues. What these clues really mean is that you need to venture into the Lost Sectors on the Moon, all four of them, and complete a puzzle that can be found on the wall at the end of each past the final chest. 

These puzzles are all based on rotating tiles. Shooting a tile will alter the 3x3 grid in different ways. Your goal is to rotate all the objects in the correct order until the entire puzzle matches the symbol placed above it. To save you the heartache of completing several mini Rubik’s Cubes, here are the solutions to each puzzle from their starting position below. The notation below matches up with a standard computer number pad. 

K1 Communion: 1, 3 ,8, 8

K1 Revelation: 6, 4, 5, 5, 4, 8, 2, 5

K1 Logistics: 7, 1, 6, 5

K1 Crew: 9, 4, 5, 2, 3, 3, 2

After completing all four of the puzzles and obtain four map fragments, you will unlock the next step in unlocking Xenophage. 

Step 4: Journey to the Depths

Now that you’ve got a full map you will need to complete the first phase of the Pit of Heresy. Directly after you complete this section and unlock the chest you will be faced with a wall of doors. Look for the door that does not have a rune hanging over its awning and jump inside. While you are inside you will want to interact with another rune and proceed to the next encounter.

Step 5: Light more torches

Within the second encounter, while the invulnerable ogres are chasing you, there will be a series of Hive runes on the floor at a cliff at the far side from where you dropped down. As you interact with the runes, a series of platforms will appear in the chasm in front of you. 

Jump over these platforms and acquire the fire. With the fire in hand, continue back the way you came from and stick to the right-hand side. This might prove tricky due to the ogres, but your end goal is to locate a door with two lecterns outside and light them (similar to those you lit in step 2.) When you light them, the doors will open and you can progress to the final step in the quest. 

Step 6: Defeat the Hive Witch

As the doors open you will enter a room with four different runes in each corner. Each of these runes corresponds to an energy type indicated by the glowing orb below it. Blue represents arc, red represents solar, purple represents void, and white/colourless represents neutral. In the next room there will be a boss roaming the area, an object that contains a glowing orb of light, and four different places to deposit this light. 

To damage the boss you will first need to look at the debuff you are currently affected by at the bottom left of your screen (void, solar, arc, or neutral), match it with a rune in the first room, and then find the matching rune within the second room where you should then deposit the light you’ve picked up. After depositing the light you will receive a buff for 30 seconds that will allow you to damage the boss using attacks of that specific energy type and only that specific energy type. So make sure you have a varied loadout.

Continue to follow the process of matching your debuff with the correct rune and following up with the correct damage until the boss is defeated. As the boss slowly falls you’ll be awarded with one final item that should be returned to Eris, and in exchange for this item you will receive the Xenophage. 

Now it’s time to rip through some enemies like cheap toilet paper. Have a look at the Xenophage in action below:

Steps [ edit ]

Step 1: Emergence [ edit ]

Around you... darkness. If you are to discover your path, you must anchor yourself to light.

• Emerged from the dark

Notes [ edit ]

To complete this step, the player has to travel to the Anchor of Light and locate an orb of captive Solar Light in one of the buildings. They have a limited amount of time to light seven saucers scattered around the area with this orb.

Step 2: Pathfinder [ edit ]

A light shines on your path. But you have yet to bring it into focus. Until then, your path remains among the lost.

• Archer's Line Path Fragment found
• Sorrow's Harbor Path Fragment found
• Hellmouth Path Fragment found
• Anchor of Light Path Fragment found

This quest step is completed by solving a puzzle at the end of each Lost Sector on the Moon. There is a grid with Hive symbols on a wall, and a symbol above it. The player has to change all of the symbols on the grid into the symbol above by shooting them. Shooting a symbol changes all symbols on the vertical and horizontal lines where it is located. Once a wall is solved, it spawns a chest with the path fragment.

Step 3: Descent [ edit ]

Your path brightens, shining through the barrier of emerald, beneath a harbor built from sorrow.

• Path uncovered

This quest step is completed in the Pit of Heresy dungeon . The player has to proceed past the Necropolis encounter to the walls with many doors and interact with a hidden switch in one of them. The correct doorway is the only one without a chained symbol on it.

Step 4: Discovery [ edit ]

The Pariahs stand guard over far more than just despair, for within these tunnels lie many secrets.

• Path's end located

This quest step is completed by opening the doorway to the hidden boss in the Pit of Heresy during the Tunnels of Despair encounter. At the leftmost area upon interacting with a prompt on the cliff underside, the player has to cross several floating platforms above the pit to obtain a shiny orb of Solar Light, and light the two saucers by the doorway in the opposite section of the encounter.

Step 5: Slay Volmâr, the Tempted [ edit ]

The end of your path is in sight. Defeat those who would keep you from it.

• Volmâr, the Tempted slain
• This quest step is completed by defeating the hidden boss in the Pit of Heresy. When in Volmâr's room, the player receives a " Dread " buff, which determines what element of damage they will be able to deal to the boss. Each corner of the entrance room contains an orb with a Hive rune above it, the color of the orb corresponds with a certain damage type. There are four saucers with Hive runes above them, and a shiny orb in the middle of the room. The player has to memorize the rune for the orb which matches their Dread in the entrance room, then carry the shiny orb and light the saucer with this rune in the main room. Doing so changes their buff to its " Vengeance " version, which lasts 30 seconds and allows them to damage Volmâr with the buff's element.
• The Dread and Vengeance buffs refer to the elements as Neutral ( Kinetic ), Thunderous ( Arc ), Fiery ( Solar ), and Abyssal ( Void ).

Step 6: Finality [ edit ]

Return to Eris Morn with the Hive bug.

• Talk to Eris Morn

Visit Eris Morn with the now-transformed Omar Agah . She will insert Omar’s Hive bug form into his prized machine gun Xenophage , which is then given as your reward.

Transcript [ edit ]

"This… communes with me. And I know it… I know him. This is what remains of dear Omar. Tortured by the Hive. I knew not that he would be transformed by Crota's twisted experiments…"

"I am sorry I couldn't save you, friend. In life, you may have been unable to escape their grasp. But you will have your vengeance yet."

Eris has kept in her possession one of Omar's greatest assets: his beloved Machine Gun. Eris empowers it with the spirit of Omar, and grants it to you.

Destiny 2 – The Journey – How To Emerge From The Dark – Lectern Lighting Order

The Journey quest in Destiny 2 can be a bit confusing, so in this guide, we will show you how to emerge from the dark for the Emergence step.

As part of the Xenophage quest, you will need to figure out how to emerge from the dark as part of The Journey exotic quest. The first step, Emergence, talks a lot about Crota, but this is a bit of a red herring. You need to head to the Anchor of Light, to light some Lecterns.

Head for the Anchor of Light, then go the point shown on the map above. This is where you will begin this part of the quest. You need to grab the Light from the strange relic in the small building shown in the header image above. The exact location can be found on the map. Once you have it, you need to light six lecterns, in the correct order.

There was a lot of trial and error done by the community for this one, but eventually, the good folks over at Raid Secrets on Reddit got it all worked out. My hat is off to them, and their amazing ability to expose Destiny 2’s secrets. The easiest way to show you the correct order to light them in is via a video. As such, I have recorded where to go, where the Light is, and what order you need to light the lecterns in. Just check the embedded video above.

Once you have them all, you need to go to an area that will be marked on the map, and interact with an item there. This will move you on to the next part of the quest, called Pathfinder! We are also working on a full guide for The Journey quest here if you need help with other steps.

Destiny 2 guide: How to get the Xenophage Exotic machine gun

It’s all about The Journey

by Austen Goslin

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep ’s Festival of the Lost has arrived, and it brought a secret Exotic quest. The weapon at the center of the quest is the Xenophage Exotic machine gun. But before you can get the gun , you’ll have to venture on a few complicated quests to find it.

Here’s how to get the Xenophage Exotic machine gun.

Note : Players are still working through this largely hidden quest. As we and the community learn more, we’ll update this guide with screenshots and tips on how to complete it.

Step 1: The Journey

This first step is all about finding the quest to get you started. The quest is hidden on the moon, inside Sorrow’s Harbor . Once you land at the harbor, enter the tower and follow the tunnels. You’ll reach a light in the middle of the cave.

Once you reach this light, walk past it and jump into the hidden hole in the wall to the right. Follow the tunnel inside the hole until you reach a platform overlooking the pyramid, with two statues on either side.

You’ll need to interact with each of the four statues .

We started with the statue closest to the entrance on the right side, then the far right statue, then the far left statue and finally the close left statue. While this code worked for us, there have been reports of several other codes on the Destiny 2 subreddit .

Once you’ve entered the code correctly, a new chest will appear on the balcony. Open the chest, and you’ll get a new quest that sends you onto the next step of the quest.

Step 2: Anchor of Light

The second step of the Xenophage quest sends you to the Anchor of Light. From there, you’ll need to find a small ball of light and use it to light some of the lecterns hidden around the area. You can see the location of the ball of light on the map below where the green arrow is on the map below.

The first lectern you’ll need to activate is right next to where the light spawns. Pick the light up, and walk it over the lectern. Here’s what the first one looks like:

All the lecterns look identical, but you’ll need to light them in a specific order. Here’s a map with the locations and orders of the lecterns:

Once you light the first one, you’ll have 60 seconds to make it to the next. This timer will reset every time you light a new lectern. Most of them are easy to find, but the fourth one could be tricky. It’s up on the third floor of the tower in the Anchor of Light.

After you light all six lecterns, you’ll get a message that says “You are ready to emerge from the dark.” Once you see that, you’ll get an objective indicator leading to the final location for this step.

Deposit the light where the game tells you to, and you’ll get the next step in the Xenophage quest.

Step 3: The four fragments

This section of the quest sends you to collect fragments from each Lost Sector on the moon. To get these fragments, you’ll need to play through the Lost Sectors just like you normally would. Once you reach the end you’ll find a puzzle along the wall near the exit of each Lost Sector.

These puzzles have a variety of symbols and you’ll need to make them all match to get the fragment.

Each one has a complicated solution, and thankfully a Discord user named “Haiku” has helpfully put them all together.

Step 4: Enter the Dungeon

For the next section of the quest, you’ll need to head into the game’s new Pit of Heresy dungeon. To get access to the dungeon talk to Eris and complete her short quest line. Once you’ve done that you’ll need to find a hidden symbol-less door inside the dungeon. The door is on a wall full of doors and symbols.

Find that specific door and interact with it and you’ll have completed this section of the quest.

Step 5: The Pariah

The next step will take you to the room near the fight with the Pariah Ogre inside the dungeon. On the cliffs near the encounter, you’ll need to drop down until you see a ledge with a small plate on it. Stand on the plate and three platforms will appear. Jump on these platforms — you can take as much time as you need, they shouldn’t disappear — and you’ll ultimately come to a light on the third platform. Grab the light and take it to a door with fire pits that you should fight in the side of on the nearby tunnels. The door should open and lead you to the final boss.

When you fight the boss you’ll be assigned a “dread.” Your dread will correspond to one of four different elements: Arc, Solar, Void, or Neutral. Once you know which dread you have you can pick up the ball at the center of the chamber and dunk it near the symbol for the dread you have. After you do this you’ll get a buff and be able to damage the boss with the elemental weapon that lines up with your dread, with Neutral being Kinetic.

Once the boss is dead you can return to Eris and she’ll give you your shiny new Xenophage.

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep The Journey Guide

by enricofairme · Published October 29, 2019 5:50 PM · Updated October 29, 2019 7:44 PM

In Destiny 2 there is an Exotic Quest called The Journey. This Exotic Quest takes you around the Moon as you attempt to find the Exotic weapon. To help you complete this quest, use our The Journey Guide.

Note : Guide is still updating.

Reaching Enduring Abyss

To start you want to make your way to the area you meet Eris Morn overlooking the Pyramid. This area is in Enduring Abyss which can be accessed through a Memory portal, or by travelling through Sorrow’s Harbor to the Scarlet Keep. The portal way is rather straightforward, but requires having a Memory quest to turn in.

If you don’t have a Memory quest to turn in, fast travel to Sorrow’s Harbor and make your way inside the Scarlet Keep (located in the north). Inside the keep head forward until you see some glowing green rocks. Take a left here and head forward through the hallway.

As you walk through the hallway you will reach a new area called Enduring Abyss. After the text for this area walk forward until you need to drop down. Don’t drop down. Instead look along the right wall for a hole. Jump to the hole then walk through the corridor to reach the area overlooking the Pyramid.

Interact With the Four Statues to Get Quest

In the area overlooking the Pyramid you will find four statues. Go up to each statue and interact with it (“emerge from the dark”). Once you’ve done this with all four statues a chest will appear. Interact with the chest to receive the quest step Emergence, which is part of The Journey Exotic Quest.

Emergence: Anchor of Light

Once you have the Quest make your way to the Anchor of Light area. I found the the video from YouTuber Spider above to be useful in guiding you where you need to go. To complete this portion of the Exotic Quest you need to pick up a light source then light torches in a specific sequence. Once you’ve lit all the torches you will earn the Pathfinder mission step.

Pathfinder: Find the Path Fragments

The Pathfinder mission step is split into four objectives. You need to find Path Fragments in Anchor of Light, Sorrow’s Harbor, Hellmouth, and Archer’s Line. All of the Path Fragments can be found in the exits of each areas Lost Sector so you will need to complete each one. To help you find the exact locations, consult the the more indepth locations below.

Anchor of Light Path Fragment

Go to the Lost Sector in Anchor of Light. Make your way through the Lost Sector and exit via the door next to the Chest (elevated above the chest ledge). Go up the stairs and you will see some symbols on the wall in front of you. To solve this puzzle complete match all nine symbols to the one show on top of the puzzle. You can change the symbol by shooting. Once you match the symbols a chest appears with the Path Fragment inside it.

Solution (Puzzle Spawn) : Bottom Left, Bottom Right, 2x Top Middle.

Sorrow’s Harbor Path Fragment

Go to the Lost Sector in Sorrow’s Harbor. Make your way through the Lost Sector and exit via the door next to the Chest (on the catwalk by the Chest). Go up the stairs and you will see some symbols on the wall to the right of you. To solve this puzzle complete match all nine symbols to the one show on top of the puzzle. You can change the symbol by shooting. Once you match the symbols a chest appears with the Path Fragment inside it.

Solution (Puzzle Spawn) : Right Middle, Left Middle, 2x Middle, Left Middle, Top Middle, Bottom Middle, Middle.

Hellmouth Path Fragment

Go to the Lost Sector in Hellmouth. Make your way through the Lost Sector and exit using the stone platform near the Chest. On this stone platform is the puzzle. To solve this puzzle complete match all nine symbols to the one show on top of the puzzle. You can change the symbol by shooting. Once you match the symbols a chest appears with the Path Fragment inside it.

Solution (Puzzle Spawn) : Top Right, Left Middle, Middle, Bottom Middle, 2x Right Bottom, 2x Bottom Middle.

Archer’s Landing Path Fragment

Go to the Lost Sector in Archer’s Landing. Make your way through the Lost Sector and exit using the building behind the chest that opens when you defeat the boss. On your way out of this building you will see the puzzle on the wall to your right. To solve this puzzle complete match all nine symbols to the one show on top of the puzzle. You can change the symbol by shooting. Once you match the symbols a chest appears with the Path Fragment inside it.

Solution (Puzzle Spawn) : Top Left, Bottom Left, Middle, Middle Right.

Once you’ve collected all the Path Fragments from the puzzles above you will unlock the Descent objective. This objective takes you to into the Dungeon on the Moon.

Path Uncovered: Pit of Heresy

For this next portion of the quest make your way into the Pit of Heresy Dungeon. In this Dungeon you want to complete the first encounter. You then need to find a hidden pathway. Use the video by WoW Quests above to find the exact location. You will probably need a second or even third to get this far in the Dungeon. Once you reveal Path’s End you unlock the Discovery quest step.

Destiny 2’s new Exotic Quest is a bug bonanza, it seems

Are you on an Exotic-earning spree in Destiny 2 ? If so, you’re probably pretty thrilled about the release of an exciting new Exotic mission, Encore, which lets you earn the awesome-looking Choir of One special ammo auto rifle. The bit that might dampen the excitement, though, are all the bugs.

While some of Destiny 2 ‘s bugs have historically even been welcomed by the community and turned into full-blooded features due to their usefulness , the problems with Encore are markedly more annoying. According to those who’ve been hard at work trying to unlock Choir of One, the new Encore mission is absolutely choc-full of problems that are virtually impossible to avoid. Examples include excessive soft-locking, random insta-death occurrences, and broken progression mechanics, which all combine to make for a particularly annoying Exotic mission.

Getting the Choir of One is a real chore in Destiny 2, due to bugs

On top of confusing and outright broken gameplay mechanics that pop up throughout Encore, players have also highlighted the presence of more invisible walls than there usually are in such missions. New Independent Variable Minotaurs are egregiously annoying to fight, too, due to their longer-range teleportation abilities.

The roster of problems with Encore is too long to list here, which illustrates just how big of a fumble this release has been so far. This puts Bungie’s previous comments in an interview with GamesRadar about it being “the biggest Exotic mission we’ve ever built” into starkly negative light, one might feel: “The ability for us to build this massive Exotic mission – literally one of the biggest – it wouldn’t have been possible in the past.”

The fact that Encore is currently such a pain to interact with a particularly notable disappointment to those who’ve stayed on top of this year’s seasonal offerings. It’s simple: Bungie may be going through a particularly problematic period of time , but the content of this year’s first Episode has been genuinely solid. Starting with a strong kick-off and wrapping up each new story beat with satisfying Act finales , fans of the game have had an opportunity to continue enjoying Destiny 2 even after its Light and Dark saga wrapped up in full with The Final Shape .

Heck, even the new Battleground missions have been a marked improvement compared to those that came before it, to the point where I’m no longer particularly worried about them potentially diluting the Vanguard Ops playlist further still.

Exotic missions are just a single step down from the heights of Raids and Dungeons , and having one of the biggest and most promising pieces of this type of content fumble due to bugs is a real shame. Bungie is yet to chime in on the matter, though the team is almost certainly already working out fixes to Encore’s many, many problems.

The silver lining, granted, is that some players claim they haven’t encountered bugs of any sort playing Encore . So, there’s a chance – however slim it may be – that you, too, will be able to play this mission the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
