Unraveling the Mystery of Curio of the Nine

With the launch of Heresy, Destiny 2 players are encountering a perplexing new item amid all the Star Wars-inspired gear and fresh activities. The Curio of the Nine has appeared in Guardians' inventories without explanation, leaving many scratching their heads.

The Enigmatic Artifact's Origins

This mysterious token bears markings from the Nine - those elusive beings who govern Unknown Space. Its vague description offers little clarity: "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine." When examined closer, the item cryptically states that "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet..."

This intentional obscurity has sparked intense speculation within the community. While lore enthusiasts might relish solving this puzzle, more action-focused players find it frustrating to have their inventory cluttered with unexplained items.

Should You Keep or Discard It?

Technically, you can delete the Curio like most inventory items - but there's a catch. The game explicitly 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 notorious unpredictability, holding onto this token seems wise at least until Heresy concludes.

Episode Timeline Considerations

Heresy, which launched on February 4th, 2025, will unfold across three Acts like previous Episodes. Each segment typically lasts several weeks, sometimes extending beyond a month. Based on this pattern, we can expect the Episode to wrap up around summer 2025, though an exact end date remains unconfirmed.
