*Destiny 2* players are eagerly diving into the new Episode, *Heresy*, filled with excitement over the *Star Wars* items and fresh activities. Amidst this, a curious mystery surrounds a strange material known as the Curio of the Nine. Let's unravel what this enigmatic item does in *Destiny 2*.
What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
As you explore the third *Final Shape* release, *Heresy*, you'll encounter various new items, from innovative weapons to mysterious materials like the Curio of the Nine. This item appears in your inventory labeled as “An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine.” The Nine, those enigmatic entities that govern Unknown Space, are linked to this item, yet its purpose remains shrouded in mystery. The item's description tantalizingly notes, “The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…” This secrecy has sent players scouring the internet for clues, a delight for lore enthusiasts but a slight annoyance for those who prefer a clutter-free inventory and focus on the action.
Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
Like many items in *Destiny 2*, you can discard the Curio of the Nine, but be warned—there's no way to reclaim it once it's gone. 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 mysterious nature of the Nine, it's wise to keep this item safe, at least through the duration of *Heresy*.
