In Destiny 2, you can now get the Wishender. This exotic bow is tied to the mission “The Broken Throne.” The Exotic quest continues after that.
Exotic quest now available: Since the weekly reset on September 25th, the Dreaming City has changed significantly. The curse has spread further, with Taken Blights floating in the air, creating an eerie and ominous setting.
In this high “curse level,” several new activities in Destiny 2 have gone live, including the mission “The Broken Throne,” which leads to the coveted Wishender.
Note: The following contains many spoilers related to the Exotic quest for the Wishender.
Location and Mechanics in The Broken Throne
Here’s how to find the mission: The mission “The Broken Throne” is not displayed on the map; it is secret.
- Run into the Confluence. You can get to this area fastest by taking half the path to the Ahamkara skull traders, so from the spawn point, head towards the Oracle, then through the hidden portal.
- Continue left until you reach the Confluence. The mission awaits you there.
- The mission is only available when the Dreaming City is in the final curse phase.

Mission Requires Higher Power Level than Raid – Bring Friends
Info about The Broken Throne:
- This is a dungeon, a kind of mini-raid, that you should play with a group of three.
- Enemies with power levels between 570 and 590 await you. That is sometimes higher than the enemies in the raid “Last Wish.” So you need strong guardians.
- While the mission isn’t as difficult as the raid, the enemies hit hard. Be prepared. You should preferably not enter The Broken Throne with a power level below 550.
This is how The Broken Throne works
The Broken Throne is essentially a mini-raid for 3 players:
- In phase 1, you will defeat Labyrinth Architects. These are elite knights that spit fire. A symbol will appear that you need to remember.
- Your task is now to look around the area and find a platform with that symbol. Continue defeating enemies and Labyrinth Architects. Repeat this with several symbols, and a path will open up.
- You need to go far down into an area where you’ll have to kill a boss named Asterion. After that, a door will open, behind which many sniper enemies and ogres await. It’s best to kill them from a safe distance.
- A phase follows where infinite enemies spawn. Run and jump through as quickly as possible, avoiding getting caught up with the melee enemies.
- Next comes a phase where you must not touch the ground. Jump from one platform to the next.
- Now a boss appears. An ogre protected by a shield.
- You must first defeat witches that drop a sphere. Pick up a witch’s sphere to receive the “Sign of the Supplicant” buff. You have 45 seconds to defeat the next witch and collect the next sphere. You need a total of four witches and four spheres. Then you will receive the “Burden of the Supplicant.”
- You slam this burden into one of the glowing vessels in the center, then the ogre loses its shield, and you can deal damage to it. Repeat the mechanic until the ogre is dead.
- Now four witches await you that you need to kill. Use lifts to go back up, master a small jumping section where Taken portals want to push you into the abyss, and arrive at the final boss.
- The final boss is the witch Dul Incaru. She has three thick knights with her. The knights are extremely tough and attack you with melee attacks, so keep them at a distance.
- Killing a knight grants the “Finite Thought” buff. You can now deal damage to the witch for 45 seconds. Before the timer runs out, you must cleanse yourselves at the large vessel in the center of the room simultaneously. Otherwise, you will die.
- If the knights have a shield, you need to shoot the crystal behind the witch.
- You can try to kill all three knights at once to stack the buff. This way, you will deal more damage.
If the witch is dead, the mission is completed. In Andy Edition’s video above, you will find more tips and motion footage if you are struggling with The Broken Throne.
This is how you get the Wishender
Once you have successfully completed The Broken Throne, the Exotic quest continues as follows:
- Go to the Fourhorn Gorge in the Tangled Shore. A swirling orb (Toland Orbs) marked with question marks hovers there:
- When you enter the Fourhorn Gorge, the orb waits on the right side next to a building. It is unknown if this location is always fixed.
- Interact with the orb, and a new quest starts that requires a power level of 580. The name of the mission is unknown, there are only three question marks attached to it. The mission has no special mechanics – you go in and kill a few enemies.
- Afterward, you will receive “Dreaming Tokens” from Eriviks, from Querim, and from Xavoth.
- You can now charge these tokens in The Broken Throne by defeating three secret bosses inside. Each boss is named after one of these tokens. So, back to the mini-raid.
- To summon the bosses, collect Arc Charges and bring them to statues. The locations of the Arc Charges and the statues are a bit tricky to find. Datto shows you all of them in the video – the first boss awaits you right in the first area:
- The second charge is found in the phase after Asterion, where many ogres spawn at the narrow bridges (no direct boss fight).
- The third charge is right in the next area. Now you must walk through the Darkness zone with the charge, where you can only move and heal very limited (no direct boss fight).
Once you have successfully delivered charges 2 and 3 to the statues, a large door in the next area opens. Here, the next boss awaits you. Once you’ve done that, you have charged the 2nd token.
- For the final Arc Charge, you must first defeat the witches to receive four buffs. This will grant you the Burden of the Supplicant, which you then slam into one of the four vessels. A Taken Minotaur will appear. Kill it, and near the exit, the Arc Charge should spawn. On the left side of the room is the statue to which you should bring the charge. An ogre will spawn for you to kill.
- Fight your way to the end of The Broken Throne, where this statue is located. Interact with it, and you will receive the Wishender:

Perks of the Wishender
The Wishender is an exotic bow that has the following perks:
- Queen’s Wrath: When using the targeting system with a fully drawn bow, enemies behind walls are marked.
- High-Tension String: Increases precision, slightly slower draw, slightly decreases stability
- Anti-Taken Feather: Specialized against Taken targets, increases precision
- Broadhead: Penetrating arrowhead that damages the target on entry and exit. A shot can penetrate multiple targets.
By the way: The egg-shaped Taken crystals found throughout the Dreaming City can be eliminated with the Wishender. This likely yields legendary loot.
