This is your Destiny 2 weekly reset for September 27, 2022. Just when you taught things couldn’t get more complicated in the story, Destiny 2 dropped a truth bomb that has major content implications for the rest of the season. If you want to know what that is, check out our weekly story update. But if you don’t want to spoil yourself, go right on ahead and read up on next week’s activities.
We are step 42 of 60. And things are building up to a major clash. And we are reminded once again that it’s never black or white with the story of Destiny 2.
Season Story Update
After first encountering a mysterious third party who is also after the artifacts, Eido felt the need the inform Eramiskell about their existence. Naturally, Mitraaks was against this meeting but agreed anyway as long as the Guardian was there to keep the peace.
Both parties met on a deserted asteroid in neutral space. There, Eido learned the truth about her adopted father. Eramis told the story of how Misthrax’s family found the pyramid on the Moon… and the Disciple that lay dead inside. Nezarec.
The relics were pieces of Nezarec’s body. And Misthrax himself was once the owner of one of them. Using this new power, he carved a path of theft and murder. It only stopped when he decided to turn away from that life and followed the light.
Having found out the truth from someone else besides her father, Eido is more disappointed than anything else. There is still much we do not know about Mithrax and his connection to the darkness. But we are close to getting to the bottom of the truth.
What does that mean for Destiny 2 content? We might be looking at a showdown with a resurrected Nezerac within the lunar pyramid.. and perhaps hope for a fully recovered Osiris.
Destiny Weekly Reset Time
As always, the Destiny 2 weekly reset times are 10 AM PDT for the folks on the West Coast of the US. 6 AM BST for our readers in Britain. And 2 AM JST the following day for everyone in Japan.
