In Destiny 2, Guardians are struggling to complete the task of finding 5 Entropic Shards on Europa. We will show you where all 9 hidden objects are located and how to destroy them.
This is the task: Once you have completed the regular story campaign of Destiny 2: Beyond Light, the new location Europa is far from safe. You will need to accomplish quite a bit for the Exo Stranger and assist her in the mission “Born in Darkness” – but you’ll also receive great rewards for it.
A task that many Guardians struggle with is the quest “Aspect of Control”.
- You need to find and destroy small pyramids of Darkness on Europa.
- This is also important to enhance your new Stasis abilities. Only this way can you unlock your first Aspect.
- This allows you to customize your class and become significantly more powerful.
Please note: In order to successfully complete the quest, you need the new Exotic “Griff der Erlösung”. How to unlock the Stasis weapon is explained in this guide by MeinMMO:
Quickly find Entropic Shards on Europa in the video
What you need to know about the quest: The Exo Stranger asks you to destroy 5 Entropic Shards.
There are a total of 9 on the DLC location Europa. If you only want to complete the quest “Aspects of Control,” you do not need to search for all of them. However, if you are a title hunter or triumph collector, you need all 9.
There are 2 problems with this:
- The shards are not found on the map or marked by a quest marker. There can also be snowstorms on Europa that can obscure your view completely.
- As mentioned initially, you need the new Exotic “Griff der Erlösung”; otherwise, you cannot destroy the objects – make sure you have enough power ammo with you.
This is the video: The YouTube Ninja Pups has gone through the trouble of showing all 9 locations in the video. We provide timestamps and an image of the area to help you easily find the Entropic Shards you still need.
1. Entropic Shard: Asterion Abyss open field (1:46 minute)
Look at the Vex construct sticking out of the snow at the top. There you will find the first shard against a wall.
2. Entropic Shard: Lost Sector “Hidden Void” in Asterion Abyss (2:29 minute)
At the very end of the underground Lost Sector, you see floating Vex stones. Look up into the yellow glow – here is the sought shard. You can even hit it from below.
3. Entropic Shard: Cadmus Ridge before the Bray Exo Research (3:09 minute)
Just before the entrance to the research facility “Bray Exo Research,” you will find the shard on an ice wall to the right.
4. Entropic Shard: Lost Sector “Bunker W15” in Eventide Ruins (3:45 minute)
Follow the course of the Lost Sector until you reach a large, open room. Look up and to the right corner next to the window, in the direction you came from.
5. Entropic Shard: Eventide Ruins open field (4:36 minute)
Near shard 4, you will find a destroyed construct of steel beams on open field – look up from below and see the sought object to the right.
6. Entropic Shard: Stormguard after “RIIS Reborn Access” (5:04 minute)
Leave the Eventide Ruins and cross the area “RIIS Reborn Access” until you arrive at “Stormguard”. Right after the elevator, look behind the first steps.
7. Entropic Shard: “Kell Ascend” after “Stormguard” (6:18 minute)
Start in “Stormguard“ where you found shard 6. Then continue the path uphill to a teleporter. Choose the right path later and enter the area “Kell Ascend”. Traverse the entire area until you find your target under a small staircase on the roof at the end.
Unfortunately, a picture of the static map is hardly helpful here, we recommend watching the video above.
8. Entropic Shard: “Iron of the Technocrat” after “Stormguard” (7:39 minute)
Again, start in “Stormguard” where you found shard 6. After the teleporter, this time go left, into the area “Iron of the Technocrat”. Traverse the entire area until you reach the coliseum (boss room). Look up at the column in the circular room on the right; here is the shard.
Again, it is difficult to convey the overview due to the static map, so it is better to watch the video.
9. Entropic Shard: “Creation” in Bray Exo Research (9:07 minute)
Update: You can now reach the 9th shard normally. Head from the large Exo head, which you can find in the area “Creation” of Bray Exo Research. You will have a long walk ahead.
You can find the entire path in this video by Nexxoss Gaming starting at minute 2:50:
The 9th and final shard cannot currently be destroyed. However, you can already see it in the “Creation” section of the Bray Exo Research facility. But without glitches, the area is closed.
Update: You can now reach the shard normally.
