Curio's Destiny Unveiled: Unlocking Secrets in Destiny 2

The new Destiny 2 Episode, Heresy, has introduced a mysterious item: the Curio of the Nine. This enigmatic token, described as bearing "markings of the Nine," has sparked curiosity and confusion among players. While its in-game description hints at the Nine's involvement, its purpose remains undisclosed. The Nine, the enigmatic beings controlling Unknown Space, are keeping their intentions close to the vest, leaving players to speculate.

What is the Curio of the Nine?

The Curio of the Nine is a strange material found within the inventory during the Heresy storyline, the third installment of The Final Shape. Its description states, "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine," linking it to the lore of the game's mysterious entities. However, attempting to examine the item reveals that "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"

Can You Discard the Curio?

While you can discard the Curio of the Nine, the game strongly advises against it. The item's description warns that it "cannot be reacquired if discarded." Given the Nine's mysterious and powerful nature within Destiny 2 lore, it's prudent to retain the Curio, at least for the duration of the Heresy Episode.

Heresy's Duration and the Curio's Future

Destiny 2 Episode: Heresy, launched February 4th, 2025, is structured into three Acts, each lasting several weeks. Based on previous Episodes, Heresy is expected to conclude sometime in the summer or possibly early fall of 2025, though an official end date remains unannounced. The Curio's ultimate purpose likely ties into the unfolding events of Heresy, suggesting its significance will become clear as the Episode progresses.

In short, the Curio of the Nine's function in Destiny 2 remains a mystery for now. Hold onto it, explore the Heresy storyline, and keep an eye out for future updates.

Destiny 2 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
