The Dawning 2023 is finally here in Destiny 2, and we’ve got some work to do, Guardian. Every year, when The Dawning begins, Eva Levante sticks us with a couple of quests to get us through the event in a pretty timely fashion. Thankfully, they’re both relatively simple, just time-consuming. The first quest you must do before you really get to dig into the event is The Dawning, named after the event itself. The Dawning can be completed pretty quickly as long as you know what you’re doing. Let’s check out the whole process.
The Dawning Quest in Destiny 2’s The Dawning 2023 Event
There are only six steps that we must complete within The Dawning quest in the Destiny 2 The Dawning 2023 Event. Each step gives you the run-down on what you must do to complete the real Dawning quest, Cookie Delivery Helper.
The Dawning: Step 1
Use Eva’s Holiday Oven to bake a gift for Commander Zavala. To access Eva’s Holiday Oven 2.1, head into your Director, then over to the Quests tab. Once you’re in the Quests tab, select all quests. Here, you can access the Holiday Oven.
To complete the quest step, you must bake some Gjallardoodles for Commander Zavala. This will require:
- 1x Ether Cane
- 1x Delicious Explosion
- 15x Essence of Dawning
Mix them all together by choosing “Apply” while hovering over the Gjallardoodles recipe in the Holiday Oven, and you’re good to go.
Step 2
Deliver your gift to Commander Zavala in the Tower Courtyard. Head over to the Tower from your Director under Destinations, and drop in at the Courtyard. Approach Commander Zavala after baking his Gjallardoodles and speak with him.
You will have the option to give the gift to Zavala. After you’ve given it, you will receive A Gift in Return that you can keep for yourself.
The Dawning: Step 3
Eva Lecvante asks you to check your Event Card for The Dawning. She says the objectives listed there will help you along your Dawning journey, and help you reconnect with old friends and acquaintances you not have spoken to since last Dawning.
For this step, you’ll need to head over to Space Grandma in the Tower Courtyard and speak with her. This will open up the Dawning 2023 menu and give you the opinion to open your Event Card and claim your first Event Challenge.
Step 4
Speak with Eva Levante one more time to let her know that you successfully delivered Commander Zavala’s gift.
The Dawning: Step 5
Purchase an upgrade from Eva Levante to complete the fifth step in The Dawning 2023 quest. After completing your previous step, you now have Dawning Spirit, the currency for this year’s Dawning event.
With 35 Dawning Spirit, speak to Eva Levante to view the available upgrades. For this step, we will be purchasing the Merrymaker upgrade. Merrymaker allows you to receive a Boon of Friendship each day from Eva Levante.
Step 6
Speak with Eva Levante one more time to complete The Dawning quest and begin the Cookie Delivery Helper quest.
Destiny 2 is now available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles.
