The race is on, Guardians. Weโve all been scouring around the Tower and beyond for chess pieces, and it seems the big puzzle is about to unfold. Today, Destiny 2 opened the path to the full chess puzzle and whatever mystery is behind it. As usual, weโve made a guide to show you how to start it, as well as the requirements you need for it.
[Disclaimer: Since the puzzle has just been released, weโll update the guide with any other relevant information we discover as we attempt to solve it.]
Destiny 2: Chess Puzzle Starting Location
Before you even attempt to reach the chessboard and try to see how it works, you need to find out where to actually start the chess puzzle in Destiny 2, and also meet a few requirements.
From what weโve gathered, you must do the following:
- Progress through Episode: Heresy until Eris gets her Throne World.
- Collect all 60 chess pieces.
- We have a guide right here for that.
Once thatโs done, youโll want to head to Erisโs Flat and enter the portal to her Throne World. After you enter it, do the following:
- Look for Eris, who is usually standing in front of three tables.
- Walk to the edge of the area and jump off.
- While falling, turn around to land below the area and inside a new room.
- Youโll see a table with a chessboard and a prompt that reads, โPick up the King?โ
- Press the button and youโll be teleported to a large chessboard.
So far, it seems you can interact with the signs outside of the chessboard. These signs show a specific piece, as well as the moves you can take with said piece. However, weโre preparing a guide on how to solve the puzzle, so stay tuned.
If you prefer a more visual guide, we recorded a video to show you the exact location of the chess puzzle in Destiny 2.
