Steps

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

"Let's talk next steps," Sloane says when you return. "Energy signature update: it's real, but Síocháin says it's oscillating in a way that makes it difficult to isolate even now that it isn't blinking in and out of existence. We'll need more of those fragments… they're like precipitated Taken energy. And that's where things get complicated.

"More complicated," Sloane amends. "The ones you found earlier were hidden by Hive rituals. These three - the trail goes cold hard, like it's cut off. Three different spots, same Taken energy signature overrides the one we're looking for. Probably some sort of protection..." She thinks about it. Síocháin whirs behind her shoulder, similarly thinking. "A curse, maybe," Sloane says. "Wards and curses are pretty much the same thing, to the Taken."

She sounds frustrated, despite clear efforts to lock it down into pure professionalism. "Your fragments might have been moved from there to secondary locations, or might be onsite," she says. "Start by scouting the locations until you find something Taken that doesn't belong. Might be a blight, might be some kind of relic - just look around. When you've found it, hit it until it stops working. It could be there's room for more delicacy, but if all else fails, you have firepower for a reason."

Sloane grimaces. "I'd go with you, but someone's got to run overwatch… do what you do best, Guardian. I trust you."

Step 1

Travel to the Altars of Sorrow on the Moon, and fulfill the conditions demanded by the Taken relic there. This will reveal the location of a Taken Osseous Fragment.

• At the Altars of Sorrow, use the Taken relic to defeat combatants quickly. When the curse's requirements are satisfied, destroy the relic.
  • Curse broken

Step 2

Break the three protections hiding the Taken Osseous Fragments to track them down. These protections take the form of Taken artifacts in various locations, which must be destroyed by fulfilling their unique conditions.

• Break the Protective Curses:
  • Curse of Endurance (Altars of Sorrow, Sorrow's Harbor, Moon)
  • Curse of Urgency (Hallowed Grove, The Sludge, EDZ)
  • Curse of Revenge (Nightmare Hunt: Pride, Moon)
    • Protections Broken: x/3

Step 3

Locate and defeat the Hive in the Nether that carries the Taken Osseous Fragment.

• Somewhere in the Nether, something carries the Taken Osseous Fragment you seek. Find and defeat it.
  • Taken Osseous Fragment acquired
