History of City of Secrets

Overview

This is a step in the Darkness in the Light quest for Malfeasance. Its in-game clue asks you to search the Dreaming City for the thief; guides identify the progress condition as defeating 25 Taken bosses or minibosses in that destination.

Walkthrough

1. Enter the Dreaming City and defeat 25 Taken bosses or minibosses. The Blind Well is a useful route when its enemies are Taken. Chamber of Starlight and Aphelion's Rest Lost Sectors are also named in later guides. Confirm the enemy faction before committing to an activity; not every Blind Well rotation uses Taken enemies.
2. When the counter completes, the quest proceeds to the special The Corrupted mission. The next hand-in is the Depleted Weapon Core to the Drifter.

Rewards

• Progresses Darkness in the Light to its special Corrupted mission.
