In Destiny 2, Curse of Osiris brings back the Lighthouse. In this, you can pursue secrets.

The Lighthouse was a location in Destiny 1 that many Guardians could never visit themselves. The reason: It was only accessible through the PvP event “Trials of Osiris.” You had to fill out a “flawless ticket,” which granted you access to the Lighthouse and the chest with delicious loot. A challenge that many Guardians failed.

In Destiny 2, everyone – who purchases the 1st DLC Curse of Osiris – can access the Lighthouse. This will be a new social space with Brother Vance as the quest giver. Compared to the Lighthouse from Destiny 1, there will be some changes here, also in terms of visuals.

Pursue secrets in the Lighthouse

The Lighthouse not only holds Brother Vance and a weapon forge, but also contains secrets. This was revealed by community manager DeeJ last week in the first livestream for Curse of Osiris. In this social space, one can pursue secrets.

Yesterday, on November 21st, Lighthouse secrets were teased again in the second livestream. There will be a riddle that has to be pieced together in the Lighthouse, which is solved within the Lighthouse.

What this riddle is about has not been revealed. But the YouTuber Unknown Player has apparently already discovered the reward for a secret in the Lighthouse:

He was one of the handful of YouTubers invited by Bungie to Seattle to record gameplay of Curse of Osiris. While the others played through the story missions, strikes, and open-world activities as planned, Unknown Player took the time to take a close look at the Lighthouse.

In the process, he found this locked chest. It is located roughly beneath Brother Vance’s position and is shielded by a barrier. He tried a few things to open the barrier, but during his playtime, he couldn’t get to the “secret chest.” Here you can see it in the video, the location is marked from 1:11:

This chest bears the same symbol as the “normal” planetary chests found in other worlds. Therefore, the chest may contain nothing more than a few Mercury tokens. However, the fact that it is locked behind a barrier suggests that there could be something “special” inside.

Perhaps the chest is

• the reward for the “riddle” that the developers talked about,
• or the reward for completing all 11 Osiris Vex weapons,
• or something completely different.

Many Guardians hope that there will be an Exotic as a reward, if they can complete the 11 Vex weapons – as a “big goal” at the end. Perhaps this Exotic is in that chest.

We will see. What do you think?

By the way: There are also secrets in the social spaces “Tower” and “Farm”:

• Destiny 2: Secret on the Farm solved – Sentry 4 & Scout Patrol
• Lava Floor and Giant Balls – Mini-Games in the Tower of Destiny 2

In Destiny 2: Forsaken of Osiris, you can forge your own Vex weapons. For this, a weapon forge is introduced as an “endgame activity”.

When Osiris was banished and sent into exile, he smuggled out a few weapons from the Last City. Over time, these were refined and equipped with Vex technologies, says Art Director Dave Matthews. Now a few white cables adorn the weapons, through which Vex milk presumably flows.

These Osiris Vex weapons can be earned in the “Forsaken of Osiris” expansion. However, they do not drop randomly from enemies or are included in engrams – instead, you must forge them.

How to forge in Forsaken of Osiris

For these Vex weapons, a weapon forge is available to you, located in the Lighthouse. The forge looks like a kind of altar: behind the altar on the wall is the Osiris symbol, surrounded by several circles:

Each of these circles represents a new Osiris Vex weapon. A total of 11 weapons can be forged, with the glyphs on the wall indicating your progress and which weapons you have already crafted.

To obtain an Osiris weapon, you must complete several steps:

• First, the story campaign of Forsaken of Osiris must be completed. Until then, you cannot use the forge.
• Next, you can go to Brother Vance. He offers you various “Lost Prophecies”, or lost prophecies:

  

• There will be a total of 11 of these prophecies, each corresponding to an Osiris Vex weapon.
• The prophecies consist of several verses that want to be decrypted. For this, you may collect various items. By inspecting the prophecy, you will be specifically told in which activities you can collect the required items.

An example: For the Osiris hand cannon, you need “Concentrated Radiolarian Culture” and “Advanced Paradox Amplifier”.

• Concentrated Radiolarian Culture can be obtained exclusively through public events.
• Advanced Paradox Amplifier is a rare item that can be obtained by completing strikes, crucible matches, and heroic adventures.

  

These items then go into your inventory. Once you have collected enough, you can use them to fulfill the prophecy.

Now go back to Brother Vance, who will give you another item. You take this to the forge and craft your weapon from it. The weapons will then look like this:

Every week, Brother Vance brings three prophecies. So you cannot forge all weapons at once.

Some questions about this forge remain unanswered:

• If I dismantle my Vex weapon – can I forge it again or do I have to fulfill the prophecy again?
• And what happens if all the circles are activated?

By the way: Brother Vance is not only your guy for prophecies in the endgame, but also for heroic adventures. These are meant to make the adventures significantly harder and more lucrative. Vance has 6 adventures available in this screenshot, with three being blue and three being purple. The purple adventures are presumably the heroic ones.

What do you think of this weapon forge?

In Destiny 2, you can expect a lot of new things on Mercury – including the largest public event to date.

A few weeks ago, a handful of YouTubers were able to travel to Seattle to take a look at “Curse of Osiris” together with Bungie employees. They were able to capture gameplay footage, which they are now gradually allowed to release following the Bungie livestreams.

After the second livestream, the gameplay footage focuses on the Patrol Zone on Mercury, with the major highlight being the most extensive public event in Destiny 2 so far.

Check out the largest public event in Destiny 2 here

The “largest, most elaborate, and rewarding public event in Destiny’s history,” according to Bungie, is called “Vex Crossroads.”

Unlike most other public events that can take place on any Destiny 2 world, Vex Crossroads has been tailored to Mercury. It is quite a dynamic event that takes you almost all over Mercury.

It consists of several phases:

• First, kill all Vex enemies until Gatekeepers appear.
• To the east and west, there are play areas (“islands”) that are accessible via jump portals. You must defeat Gatekeepers there. They drop spheres that you dunk into a marked spot to deactivate “Warp-Gates.”

  

• Do this on both sides until a Gate Lord appears in the middle. Defeat it to receive loot.

Here you can see gameplay footage of it. The spot is marked from 1:10:

This “most rewarding loot” consists of two chests at the end. In the stream, they only contained blue items and tokens.

The event also has a heroic mode. How this is activated has not yet been revealed. But it causes the Gate Lord to have an impenetrable shield around it at the end. To destroy the shield, you must defeat an additional Gatekeeper nearby. This will drop a sphere that you can then throw into a device. Now the Gate Lord is vulnerable.

5 more features that the Patrol Zone on Mercury offers

The playable patrol area on Mercury is said to be smaller than that on Titan. However, one must not forget that Mercury also includes the Infinite Forest, which provides a lot of additional gameplay area.

• There is one – and only one – Lost Sector on Mercury. This operates just like Lost Sectors do: you fight against many enemies, here against the Vex, defeat the boss, and open the chest.

  

• Throughout the patrol area, there are “jump portals” that quickly transport you from one place to another:

  

• The Mercury resources are called “Simulation Seed” and can be exchanged with Brother Vance. They work just like other planetary resources and look like this:

  

• There are Vex Prison areas that contain Cabal. You must defeat a Minotaur nearby to open the prison. Then eliminate the Cabal inside, and you will receive a loot chest as a reward.

  

• On Mercury, these beautiful vehicles (Interceptors) return, which you can use:
