Destiny 2: How To Unlock Dreadful Discoveries Triumph

Dreadful Discoveries is a Triumph required to unlock the ‘Heretic’ seal in Destiny 2. It requires you to complete multiple objectives across all three seasonal acts. With the release of Act-III, you can complete the Triumph to get The Ruinous Flame — a Legendary ship. You will need to progress through the main storyline before working on these objectives. While none of the objectives are particularly hard, they do require some legwork.

Destiny 2: How To Earn Exotic Catalysts And What All Of Them Do

Some of Destiny 2's Exotics can be made better with Exotic Catalysts. Here's what all of them do.

This guide details everything you need to know about completing Dreadful Discoveries, required objectives, and the most efficient ways to do them.

How To Complete The Objectives For Dreadful Discoveries Triumph

You must complete three objectives to unlock Dreadful Discoveries. These objectives become available once you have progressed the story a bit.

The description is slightly misleading. It cannot be completed during Act-I.

Since each objective corresponds to a different Act, you will need to reach Act-III to finish them all.

Hive Hacking

For this objective, you must complete three Mission Dossier: Hive Hacking quests from the Shaping Slab. In order to complete these quests, you will need to defeat Hive Wizards on the Moon — two in Sorrow’s Harbor and one in Hellmouth.

Objective

How to Complete

Lightsinger’s Limb

Travel to the Summoning Pits from Sorrow’s Harbor — the easiest way is to mark the quest active, and follow the waypoint.

Once in the Summoning Pits, defeat all enemies in the area to summon Yor ur-Halaku, Lightsinger. Again, use any Power Weapon to defeat her and claim the Hand of Yor ur-Halaku.

Cultist’s Limb

You need to follow the waypoint to the Catacombs to find Ilyx, Celebrant of Oryx. To remove her immunity shield, shoot three Hive Runes — there is no need to engage enemies.

Once her shield is down, use your Super or any Heavy Weapon to defeat her, and collect the Hand of Ilyx ur-Anukru.

Blade Navigator’s Head

You will need to complete a few tiers of Altars of Sorrow on the Moon to summon Saruk, War Dancer. When she appears, defeat her to grab the Head of Saruk ur-Omni.

If there are other people in your instance, make sure to land a couple of shots before someone nukes her.

Willbreaker Shards

Once you have reached Act-II, you will be able to pick up another set (five in total) of quests from the Shaping Slab. Completing these quests will reward you with Willbreaker Shards that are needed for the Triumph.

Objective

How to Complete

Shattered Will: Vorok, Sentinel Eternal

Vorok, Sentinel Eternal is a secret enemy found in various places across The Dreadnaught. In order to summon him, you will need to light three braziers. Vorok does not have any standout mechanics, and can easily be defeated with any Special / Heavy.

After defeating Vorok, continue to defeat enemies using a Sword until you are done.

Willbreaker: Dreadnaught

You will need to open Treasure Chests in The Nether or Court of Blades to collect Willbreaker Shards.

Once you have collected all of them, defeat a Taken Boss in a Strike (The Corrupted) or a Dungeon like Prophecy. Alternatively, you can also defeat a few Powerful Taken anywhere in the Sol. You can do this by either farming a Lost Sector in The Dreaming City or grinding Court of Blades.

Shattered Shards: An Entity Manifested

There are three Expressions of Many that you can find across the Cosmodrome — Lunar Complex, Gateway, and Dock 13. You simply need to defeat these enemies to complete this quest.

Similar to Vorok, these enemies are not tough to defeat. Any burst Super, Power Weapon, or even a Fusion Rifle should be more than adequate to get the job done.

Shattered Shards: Lost in Prophecy

For this quest, we recommend defeating Phalanx Echo, the first boss in the Prophecy dungeon. A couple of Guardians using Lord of Wolves should absolutely shred him.

Alternatively, you can repeatedly farm a Lost Sector (with Powerful Taken) until you are done. Afterward, visit Drifter in The Tower.

Shattered Shards: Innermost Power

For this quest, you will need to defeat Hive or Taken using Abilities.

Prismatic, Stormcaller, Arcstrider, or a Titan build using Heart of Inmost Light should easily get the job done.

Vengeance Quests

Lastly, in Act-III, grab another set of quests (Vengeance Quests) from the Shaping Slab in Eris’ Apartment.

Objective

How to Complete

Mission Dossier: Witch's Gambit

This quest requires you to uncover three secrets in The Dreadnaught, complete The Nether, and defeat 100 enemies under the effects of a Corrupted Boon – while walking the Path of Resolve.

Mission Dossier: Sibling Squabbles

You will need to use Void / Strandto defeat Hive enemies.

Weapons like Graviton Lance or builds using Nezarec's Sin , Swarmers , etc. are good for this.

Mission Dossier: Blade Logic

This quest requires you to defeat Taken anywhere in Sol using a Sword or a Glaive.

We recommend farming any Lost Sector in The Dreaming City using a Glaive until you are done.

Writ: Heir of Nothing

You need to defeat 10 challengers in the Court of Blades while walking the Path of Ambition.

You will also need to spend three Tier-3 Stolen Runes throughout the activity.

Writ: Bloodied Blades

While you are on the Path of Ambition, you will need to defeat Hive enemies in The Nether using a Sword or a Glaive.

Since you can easily run out of Heavy Ammo, we recommend sticking to a Glaive since the melee does not consume any ammo, and it works with Exotics like Synthoceps , Winter's Guile , Wormgod Caress , Triton Vice , etc.

Writ: Misguided Vengeance

For the last quest, you will first need to defeat Lucent Hive on Savathun’s Throne World using Solar / Arc.

Once you are done, you will need to defeat Elite Hive anywhere in the Sol. We recommend flying to the Moon and farming Altars of Sorrow, as there are a bunch of Elite Hive enemies in this activity. Lastly, return to the Shaping Slab in Eris’ Apartment to complete the quest.

You can use LFG Discord servers or in-game Fireteam Finder to get teammates for Court of Blades.
