Destiny 2 Secret Mission Gives an Exotic Weapon, VoG Reference, New Knowledge

July 20 was a burst for Destiny 2 players as a new secret quest was discovered. Players on the location of the Io patrol found a secret Taken portal that took them into a mysterious mission space with a 20-minute time limit. Players flocked to Io in search of the mission and secrets it contained, and after a few hours, reports began to arrive. Those who emerged victorious earned the exotic sniper rifle Whisper of the Worm, a new weapon that has essentially the same characteristics as the famous Black Spindle / Black Hammer lunette rifles of Destiny 1 Destiny fans, this event is a return to form for Bungie. The original game was laden with secrets, and as they dug into the quest "The Whisper", more hidden puzzles, and deep implications of lore arose

How to Find the Whisper

All About First find a fireteam. The mission is almost impossible to solo. Head to Io and wait in the Lost Oasis area for the public event The Taken Blight. When it breeds, look for a named named foe around the area. Once this enemy is dead, a sampled portal breeds at the top of a cliff near the area lost in the area. Approach the gate and hold the square to start The Whisper

Finding the quest is the easiest part. To complete it is something else. Again, you will need to have a fireteam of three – or it is at least strongly recommended. When you start The Whisper, you will have 20 minutes to finish it. The first part is a jumping puzzle that reminds many players of clbadic raid jump puzzles Destiny . Be prepared to try and fail that many times.

After the jump section, you will meet three rooms filled with Taken enemies who must be killed, familiar to all who got the black spindle in Destiny 1 thanks to a similar mission structure (minus the jumping puzzle). The last room contains three bosses that must be killed, plus tons of additions. Once the three bosses are dead, you'll be rewarded with the Whisper of the Worm, the exotic sniper rifle. Watch the Datto video above to see exactly how to complete the mission.

But this is not the end of the secrets. After completing The Whisper once, a selectable node will be added to your map for a Power 400 Heroic version of the mission. Completing the heroic version grants Masterwork's catalyst for the gun, but the secrets do not stop there either. In the heroic version of the mission, there are five secret chests to collect. Gathering them all will activate a Vex portal and allow players to glimpse inside the Glbad Chapel through a portal that was idle throughout Destiny 1 (except for one mission). Although you can not pbad through the portal, oracles that appear in the same order as the Vault of Glbad oracles generate another chest containing an exotic ship plan and a necessary item for the Sleeper Simulant Masterwork quest. Is this the seventh mysterious vault of glbad chest?

Resurrection of the worm

Perhaps the most interesting – in addition to all these other interesting aspects, of course – are the implications lore behind this quest. At the end of Warmind's (19459006) expansion campaign people were disappointed that the god Xol and the prince hive Nokris were so quickly introduced and then easily slaughtered, although they were beings so remarkable and powerful. During The Whisper, we hear Xol surprisingly speaking once more (actually about three times), even though he was presumed to have been killed. In addition, the bosses at the end of this mission are old Destiny 1 enemies that we have already killed that were taken.
