Destiny 2: How To Complete The Final Shape Quest (2024)

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is finally here, and along with the extensive expansion, a whole new campaign to play through. The Final Shape campaign consists of a 34-step quest with a decent handful of side quests thrown in to keep you busy. You’ll spend time talking to your favorite Hunters, traveling around Sol and diving deep into the Pale Heart to save the Traveler and defeat the Witness once and for all.

Step One

Cayde relayed to us that Crow had ventured further into the Pale Heart to scout but hasn’t reported back. We need to find him. He could be in danger.

• Listen to the radio at Refuge of Repose.
  • Hear the broadcast.

Step Five

Crow and Glint saw Ikora’s crashed ship near the part of the Pale Heart that resembles Io-a place that has special meaning to Ikora. Finding that ship should make her trail clear to follow.

• Search for the wreckage of Ikora’s ship.
  • Complete “Exegesis” mission.

Step Six

The last time Ikora saw Cayde alive, he was leaving the Tower to handle the crisis in the Prison of Elders. It’s hard to guess how she’ll react.

• Press further ahead through the Pale Heart and look for Zavala.
  • Complete the “Requiem” mission.

Step Ten

Cracks are showing in the Vanguard’s united front. Get Ghost’s thoughts.

• Scale the treacherous ice wall with Cayde and Crow.
  • Complete the “Ascent” mission.

• Attempt to commune with the Traveler in the Broken Deep.
  • Complete “The Message, Part 1” Lost Sector.

The Broken Deep yielded no answers. Glint suggests searching the Forgotten Deep next. Perhaps that delve will lead you to answers.

• Clear a path through a lighted pass, and uncover a long-buried past.
  • Complete the “Liminality” Strike.

Step Twenty-Two

Zavala is set on his course of action, but Crow is equally determined to keep him from doing something reckless. Years of pain come to a head.

• Crow is going to try to talk Zavala down. This may not end well.
  • Regroup at campfire.

Step Twenty-Three

Zavala won’t be talked out of his course of action. Ghost looks worried.

To defeat the Witness, you need more than Light or Darkness alone. Strengthen your bonds with your allies and the paracausal forces you wield.

• Complete the “Destined Heroes” quest.
  • Rally allies.

Step Thirty

Micah-10 has informed us of an unknown threat brewing. Cayde has volunteered us, and Crow, to help him investigate this lead. The fewer bad guys on the field, the better for our efforts.

• Track down an unknown threat with Cayde and Crow.
  • Complete the “Wild Card” mission.

Step Thirty-One

“We’re not out of this yes.” Ghost says with a determined stare in the direction of the monolith. “Mara has a plan, our allies are here. It’s time we get moving, meet up with Micah-10, and figure out what her plan is to help us defeat the Witness. We can’t do this alone…” Ghost looks at you intently. “And we don’t have to. Come on, it’s time.”

• The Final Shape looms. There isn’t much time to prepare.
• You won’t be able to defeat the Witness alone. Recover powerful artifacts across the Pale Heart, rally your allies, and fortify the Traveler’s Light. Only through your combined strength will you prevail.
