Tracking down unique quest components across the Moon in Destiny 2 often leads Guardians into deep subterranean Hive caverns that test their navigation skills. Among these essential quest items, the Horned Wreath plays a critical role in cleansing the Essence of Vanity to unlock powerful gear. Understanding the exact route through the Moon's winding corridors allows players to claim this item quickly without getting lost in dangerous territory.
The Significance of the Horned Wreath in Essence Quests
The Horned Wreath serves as a key quest component required to complete the Essence of Vanity questline. Completing this quest rewards players with the Tranquility Legendary Sniper Rifle, a popular weapon among Lunar explorers. While other quest steps involve routine combat tasks, locating this specific item requires venturing into a distinct, unmapped sub-area.
Navigating the Moon's underground tunnels can be confusing due to the lack of explicit map markers leading directly to the objective. Preparing for the journey ahead ensures you can bypass powerful enemies and secure the item efficiently.
Route to the Chamber of Night
To begin your journey toward the Horned Wreath, transmat to the Moon and head toward the Anchor of Light before proceeding through the Temple of Crota. Follow the path downwards into the green-hued chambers and continue driving deeper through The World's Grave. Maintain a forward trajectory through the linear corridors until you transition into the dark passages of the Chamber of Night.
Once inside the Chamber of Night, follow the linear pathway past hostile Hive spawns until you arrive at an expansive cavern featuring massive bone-like structures. This distinctive room marks the final phase of your search for the special item.
Claiming the Horned Wreath
Upon reaching the final large cavern in the Chamber of Night, make your way toward the back left corner of the room. Hidden beneath a small overhang and resting on a pile of rocks, you will discover the glowing prompt to pick up the weapon part. Interact with the object to update your quest progress instantly.
Be aware that a powerful Unstoppable Ogre guards this immediate area and will attack on sight. You can quickly interact with the item and fast-travel back out to orbit to avoid an unnecessary fight.
Finalizing the Essence of Vanity Quest
After securing the Horned Wreath, ensure that your other required objectives, such as earning sniper rifle kills and finishing Moon activities, are fully satisfied. Once all tasks are marked complete, return to the Lectern of Enchantment near Eris Morn. There, you can cleanse the Essence of Vanity and claim your new weapon.
