Much like how it was when we were operating on a Seasonal structure, Destiny 2: The Final Shape has an Episode Quest that gets updated weekly with new quest steps and challenges to take us through the Episode. In Episode: Echoes, we’ll be completing A Rising Chorus: Act one through three which will consist of several quest steps broken up over a few months. Let’s take a look at how to complete A Rising Chorus.

Step 1

Failsafe delivered a Standard Radiolite Sampler and asked you to investigate strange silica formations within the Well of Flame on Nessus.

• Begin your research with Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

Step 2

Failsafe requests you use the Standard Radiolite Sampler to extract samples from the Well of Flame on Nessus.

• Investigate the locations Failsafe marked on Nessus, where she anticipates you may find silica formations that emit a signal similar to that of radiolaria.
  • Take three samples.

Step 3

You have unearthed an unusual specimen. Collect it so Failsafe can analyze the changes taking place on Nessus.

• While extracting a sample, a minor quake occurred and revealed a unique object. Collect this object from within The Well of Flame.

Step 10

Go to the Hallows on Nessus to complete Failsafe’s scan data.
