Dive into the mysteries of Destiny 2's latest Episode, *Heresy*, alongside the excitement of new *Star Wars* items and activities. But amidst the action, a peculiar item has players scratching their heads: the Curio of the Nine. What's its purpose? Let's unravel the enigma.
What Is the Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
Progressing through Heresy, the third Final Shape release, unveils a trove of new and returning weapons and items. Among them, the Curio of the Nine stands out. Its description hints at its origin: "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine." This cryptic artifact links directly to the enigmatic Nine, the beings controlling Unknown Space. However, the item itself offers little further information, stating only that "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"
This deliberate ambiguity leaves players searching for answers online. While intriguing for lore enthusiasts, it can be frustrating for those prioritizing inventory management and gameplay.
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: "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 enigmatic nature in Destiny 2 lore, it's wise to hold onto this mysterious token, at least for the duration of Heresy.
