Destiny 2 players exploring the new Heresy episode are encountering a mysterious item: the Curio of the Nine. This enigmatic token, described as bearing "markings of the Nine," has sparked curiosity and confusion among players.

What is the Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

Discovered during the Final Shape expansion's third episode, the Curio of the Nine's in-game description hints at its connection to the enigmatic Nine, the powerful beings controlling Unknown Space. However, its purpose remains shrouded in mystery. The item itself cryptically states that "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…" leaving players to speculate and search for answers online.

Can You Get Rid of the Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

While you can discard the Curio of the Nine, the item's description warns that it's irretrievable. Given the Nine's ominous nature within Destiny 2 lore, it's advisable to retain the Curio, at least for the duration of the Heresy episode.

How Long Will Heresy Be in Destiny 2?

Launched on February 4th, 2025, Heresy follows the typical three-act structure of Destiny 2 Episodes. Each act spans several weeks, often exceeding a month. Therefore, Heresy is expected to conclude sometime in the summer or possibly early fall of 2025, though a precise end date remains unannounced.

In short, the Curio of the Nine's purpose remains a mystery for now. Keep it, explore the lore, and enjoy the Heresy episode! For more Destiny 2 content, check out our guide on the 2025 Festival of the Lost skins and voting process.
