In Destiny 2, you can now obtain the third of four keys for the exotic quest from the Forge. In addition, the third secret Forge emblem has been discovered. We explain how to obtain both.
At the start of the first Forge (Volundr) of the Black Armory, Guardians discovered a mysterious chest. This is a quest item that rewards Guardians with the first exotic quest of the Black Armory. Now, the third key needed to open the chest is available.
How to Get the 3rd Key for the Exotic Quest of the Mysterious Chest
To obtain the keys for this mysterious chest, you must play the new Forge activities. The Hook key was obtained in the Volundr Forge, while the Hand key can be obtained in the Gofannon Forge.
To open the butterfly lock on the chest, Destiny 2 now sends you to the Izanami Forge. First, you must unlock this third Forge – just like the two before it. Once you’ve done that, you can grab the 3rd key.
Here’s how to get the third key:
- Start the Izanami Forge on Nessus.
- You must successfully survive the first round.
- Within the first 10 seconds of the second round, 2 drones will appear, surrounded by a blue shield. They are hard to miss if you look in the right places.
- Turn towards the large wall behind the Forge. On the left side, the drone will appear by the column with a bluish light.
- On the right side, you need to look at the pillar with a reddish light.
- You must now take out these two drones. If you get both, a message “Maximum Hardness” will appear on the left screen.
- Now you need to survive the second round of the Forge activity without dying.
- Now you just have to finish the Forge. You don’t need to take out the boss for this.
- At the end of the third round, a chest from the Black Armory spawns, from which you will receive the butterfly key.
- Activate it in your inventory and the third lock will be opened. Only one lock remains to be opened.
How to Get the Third Secret Forge Emblem
In addition to the third key for the mysterious chest, unlocking the Izanami Forge has revealed more Forge secrets. It is now known how to obtain the third secret emblem of the Forge families – Meyrin’s Vision.
To obtain this emblem, you need the new legendary Forge bow “The Malicious Ripper.” You can get it through a weapon shape in the Izanami Forge. Then you go back to the Volundr Forge on Earth.
To unlock the third emblem, you must do the following:
- First, kill all enemies to have some peace.
- Now you must position yourself on certain symbols and then activate specific symbols with the bow by shooting at them.
- First, stand on the butterfly symbol at the entrance of the Volundr Forge.
- Shoot at the symbol with the three trees on the chest directly in front of you.
- Now turn 180 degrees and shoot a piece of paper on a stalagmite protruding from the ground.
- Now take a few steps towards the entrance of the Volundr Forge. There you will find a kind of sun or ray symbol on the ground. Stand on it.
- Shoot at the heart symbol at the edge before you – twice.
- Turn back around and shoot again at the three trees.
- There is a symbol with two wings on the ceiling above you. Shoot at that now.
- After that, you will receive the third secret emblem.
What can I do with the emblems? With the three emblems of the Forge, you can now activate three signals in the Volundr Forge. These are technical devices that you cannot interact with without the corresponding emblems.
Once all three signals are activated, a monitor with Nordic runes will activate in the Volundr Forge. This appears to be another step in solving the massive puzzle scattered throughout the Forge.
How exactly it continues is still unknown. However, the text roughly states, “Eyes trained beyond the end of dawn, a fourth flame will rise. Bring the acquired knowledge to the Raiders of Knowledge. Prepare yourselves.” Fans suspect this refers to the fourth Forge.
