Destiny 2 offers players a diverse range of quests and items to discover. One such enigmatic item is the Strange Key, which holds significance in obtaining the exotic sidearm known as Forerunner. It is a key objective within the Magnum Opus quest in Destiny 2, a unique questline offered by Xur. This quest tasks players with locating and utilizing the Strange Key to unveil a path leading to a cryo pod containing an Anomalous Object.

To acquire the Strange Key, you must meet specific requirements. Firstly, you must accept the Magnum Opus quest from Xur. Additionally, you must achieve a reputation level of 4 with Xur or obtain the Strange Favor, a currency associated with Xur’s activities. Once these prerequisites are met, Xur will offer the Strange Key free of charge.

You must complete various steps to progress in the Magnum Opus quest and unlock its secrets. Here is a breakdown of the critical tasks involved:

  • Collect 7 Strange Coins: You must engage in the Dares of Eternity activity multiple times to acquire Strange Coins. These coins can be obtained by completing specific objectives within the activity.
  • Complete 3 Bounties from Starhorse: Starhorse, a unique character in the form of a celestial horse located near Xur in Xur’s Treasure Hoard, provides bounties. Complete three of these bounties to progress. Note that only one bounty from Starhorse can be undertaken at a time.
  • Reach Rank 4 Reputation with Xur: Earn a reputation level 4 with Xur. By completing the previous steps and engaging in the Dares of Eternity activity, players can gradually increase their reputation with Xur. This may require multiple runs of Dares of Eternity to achieve the necessary rank.

Upon meeting these requirements, you can unlock the Strange Key for use in the Magnum Opus quest, bringing them one step closer to obtaining the coveted Forerunner sidearm.
