History of Shard of the Traveler

Overview

Shard of the Traveler (internally the mission "Spark") was the third story mission of the original Destiny 2 campaign, set in the European Dead Zone. The Guardian and Ghost follow a vision to a shard of the Traveler in the Blackened Forest and restore the Guardian's connection to the Light.

Mechanics

Enter through Quarantine Zone 236, fight through caves and the Blackened Forest against House of Dusk Fallen, defeat three minibosses (Tikkis, Maksor, Skriviks), reach the Shard and regain subclass powers, then use them against a final wave.

Rewards

The auto rifle Pariah and the first subclass (Sentinel, Arcstrider or Dawnblade).

Status

Removed from the base campaign when Destiny 2: Beyond Light launched with the New Light intro. Sources differ on a later Season of the Hunt Shard encounter, which is a separate event.
