Destiny 2: Unveiling the Nine's Curio

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 curious item has players scratching their heads: the Curio of the Nine. What's its purpose, and what should you do with it?

What Is the Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

As you progress through Heresy, the third installment of The Final Shape, you'll encounter various items, including new and returning weapons. Among them, the enigmatic Curio of the Nine. Its description hints at a connection to the Nine, the mysterious beings controlling Unknown Space, describing it as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine."

Intriguing, right? Unfortunately, the Nine aren't giving up their secrets easily. Inspecting the item reveals their cryptic message: "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…" This leaves players searching for answers online. While this might delight lore enthusiasts, it can be frustrating for those prioritizing inventory management and focused gameplay.

Can You Get Rid of the Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

Yes, you can discard the Curio of the Nine. However, 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 ominous nature within Destiny 2 lore, it's wise to hold onto it, at least for the duration of Heresy.

How Long Will Heresy Be in Destiny 2?

Destiny 2 Episode: Heresy launched February 4th, 2025, and the appearance of the Curio has prompted questions about its longevity. Episodes typically consist of three Acts, each lasting several weeks, sometimes extending beyond a month. Therefore, Heresy is expected to conclude sometime in the summer of 2025, though a precise end date remains unannounced. While it might potentially extend into fall, past episode durations suggest this is less likely.

So, there you have it—the current state of the Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2. For more Destiny 2 content, check out the 2025 Festival of the Lost skins and how to vote for them!
