In Destiny 2, the first Guardians have explored the contents of the Collector’s Edition and discovered a cool puzzle – and solved it right away.
What’s included in the Collector’s Edition? For about $150, you could pre-order a Collector’s Edition for Shadowkeep for a limited time, the upcoming fall expansion for Destiny 2. However, it quickly sold out – and still is. So you won’t be able to get one anymore, only on eBay are some being offered at exorbitant prices.
In addition to the game, the Collector’s Edition includes a lot of physical content, such as
- a Hive Glyph replica
- a manual with 40 pages of schematics and design documents
- a 160-page journal featuring story content about the Talismans of Eris Morn
- artifacts from the Golden Age
- and a few more goodies
Particularly exciting is the Hive Glyph. This is that fun-decorated staff, on which Hive symbols can be seen. Because this contains a puzzle: if you arrange the symbols in the correct order, it opens.
Note: The following contains spoilers about the content of the Collector’s Edition. If you want to surprise yourself, do not read further.
What’s in the Glyph?
Here’s what’s inside: Reports came in on Reddit just a few hours ago that Guardians have received their Collector’s Edition.
The Glyph looks impressive, one writes, it’s made of some kind of metal and is quite robust. He is immediately set to decrypt it.
Shortly thereafter, another Guardian reported: “I opened the Hive Glyph!” The clues for the correct order are in the records of Eris, which are included in the Collector’s Edition. Four symbols are marked in it. You just have to arrange them in the correct order and enter them into the Glyph:
Then the lower half of the Glyph can be removed – and inside is a small scroll.
What does the scroll say? It contains an in-game code as well as the URL to a website on Bungie.net. According to user reports, different websites can be included. Some have
- www.bungie.net/hope
- and others have www.bungie.net/dust
in the scroll. Both websites currently lead to the same Bungie page, which states: “Please return on October 1, 2019.” What will happen on this website on October 1 is still unknown. But what the in-game code is for should be pretty clear.
According to the Bungie Store, there is an exclusive code for a badge in the Collector’s Edition. So you get an emblem. However, a Guardian writes that the code cannot be redeemed yet.
If you have enough time, you can check out this reddit post to see several imgur galleries where a Guardian has photographed all the pages from the Collector’s Edition booklets.
