Destiny 2 players exploring the new Heresy Episode are encountering 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.
What Is the Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
Discovered during the Final Shape expansion's third episode, the Curio of the Nine is a strange material with a cryptic description: "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine." While linked to the lore of the Nine—the enigmatic beings controlling Unknown Space—its in-game purpose remains undisclosed. The item itself hints, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…" leaving players to speculate and search for answers online.
Can You Get Rid of the Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
While you can discard the Curio of the Nine, the item's description warns against it: "While this item does not currently appear to have a purpose, guard it with your life – as it cannot be reacquired if discarded." Given the Nine's mysterious and powerful nature within Destiny 2 lore, it's advisable to retain the Curio, at least for the duration of the Heresy Episode.
How Long Will Heresy Be in Destiny 2?
Launched February 4th, 2025, Destiny 2 Episode: Heresy is expected to follow the typical three-act structure of past Episodes, each lasting several weeks. Therefore, Heresy is likely to conclude sometime in the summer or possibly early fall of 2025, though a precise end date remains unannounced.
In short, the Curio of the Nine's purpose remains a mystery, adding intrigue to the Heresy Episode. For now, keeping it might be wise. For more Destiny 2 content, check out the 2025 Festival of the Lost skins and voting details.
