Destiny 2: Traveler’s Chosen exotic weapon quest guide

By

Destiny 2’s Season of Arrivals is winding down as Bungie prepares to launch its major Beyond Light update. As one final challenge, players can get an exotic version of the Traveler’s Chosen sidearm. If Traveler’s Chosen sounds like a familiar weapon, that’s because it’s the first weapon players received in Destiny 2. The new and improved version features a perk that allows players to recharge their abilities by holding down the reload button and absorbing stacks of “Gathering Light.”

The lengthy new quest takes players through a tour of the planets and content that will be leaving the game for good this November. Here’s everything you’ll need to do to get this weapon before the Beyond Light update launches.

Exodus quest

There are two quests on the way to getting Traveler’s Chosen: Exodus and Evacuation. Exodus launched in July and only rewarded some Altered Element and a triumph for completing it. If you didn’t complete the quest back then, you’ll need to do it now to progress. When you log into the game, you should have it in your quest tab already.

You’ll need to go to four different planets and finish a weekly bounty on each. First, you’ll complete one for Sloane on Titan. After that, you’ll do the same for the vendor on Io. Once you’re done with that step, head back to Zavala, and he’ll give you a masterwork version of the Militia’s Birthright legendary grenade launcher.

To finish this off, complete a weekly quest on Mercury and then Mars. When all four steps are complete, head back to Zavala to complete the quest and get a reward. Now, you’ll be able to jump into the longer Evacuation quest.

Evacuate Io

The idea here is that you’ll evacuate each planet one by one. Once you get the new quest from Zavala, go to Io and talk to Asher.

For the first step, head to the Sanctum of Bones lost sector, which is the one that’s closest to Asher. The idea is to collect 25 Traces of Corruption, which are dropped from Taken enemies. Fight through the lost sector as you would normally, killing enemies along the way. Once you hit the end, you’ll have to take down a Taken Phalanx. Open the chest to complete this step and move on to the next.

Next, you’ll have to complete the Pyramidion Strike and collect 40 Scan Traces by killing Vex. You should get enough Traces by naturally playing through the strike.

Now open the director, and you’ll see a new mission on the Io map. Click that, and you’ll be thrown into the heroic version of the Unexpected Guests mission. Complete that as you would normally and head back to Asher once you’re done to complete Io.

Evacuate Titan

Now you’ll need to do the same thing on Titan. Speak to Sloane and get ready to revisit some old content. First, head to the Methane Flush lost sector. You don’t need to collect anything here. Just kill the Hive Knight at the end and open the chest to progress.

Once that’s done, head to Solarium. Upon entering, you’ll see a yellow bar Hive Knight protecting a chest. Kill it and open the chest to get a piece of Golden Age Tech. Then continue forward into Festering Halls and look for two Ogres at the beginning and end. Killing each will give you a chest. Once you have all three, you can move on.

Like the last step in Io, you’ll have to complete a strike, in this case Savathûn’s Song, to collect 25 Tech Fragments. Finish that up and talk to Sloane to check it off the list. As a bit of a halftime break, speak to Zavala, who will send you to part three.

Evacuate Mercury

Sensing a pattern yet? Head to Mercury and talk to Brother Vance to kick this leg off. You’ll complete three different missions here, starting with the A Garden World Strike. In addition to completing the strike, you’ll need to collect 15 Timeline Fractures by killing Cyclopeses, Hydras, and Minotaurs.

Then it’s off to the Tree of Probabilities Strike. Complete this while killing Cabal and collecting Traces of Osiris within the strike.

Finally, you’ll have to do the Bug in the System Heroic Adventure. There’s no collection aspect to this one, so just beat it and return to Brother Vance to say goodbye to Mercury.

Evacuate Mars

The final step is, fortunately, less repetitive than the rest. Talk to Ana Bray, who will ask you to talk to Rasputin. Travel through the Braytech Facility and head to the Mindlab. You’ll find a signal from Rasputin in the area.

Now you’ll need to repair Rasputin’s frame by collecting five Shattered Frame Pieces. You’ll get them by defeating bosses in Escalation Protocol, so head to one of the two sites and start running waves. You’ll need to defeat five bosses in total to complete this.

Now for one last heroic adventure. This time, complete the Deathly Tremors mission and talk to Ana once you’re done. She’ll send you back to Zavala, who will congratulate you on a job well done with the Traveler’s Chosen sidearm.

This will take quite a bit of time to complete, but luckily you can finish it anytime before Beyond Light drops on November 10. Make sure to clear it out before then since all four planets will be locked into a content vault after that.

The best skills for each Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2
An archer fires an arrow at an enemy in Dragon's Dogma 2.

As you level up your Vocations and character in Dragon's Dogma 2, you will earn XP and Dcp. The former will contribute to you leveling up and passively getting stronger, while the latter needs to be spent on unlocking new skills for your current Vocation. There are 10 total Vocations you can eventually unlock and use, and each one has a dozen or more skills to unlock and test out, and yet you can only use four at any given time. That's a lot of possible skills to try out and potentially waste your DCP on. Instead, we'll help you min-max your build right from the start by recommending the best skills you should get for each and every Vocation in the game.
Best skills

The best skill will vary for each Vocation based on what role they are most suited to in combat. Some skills can be upgraded to better versions as you level up your Vocation, so check back in the skills menu every so often to make sure you're using the best version available.
Fighter
Airward Slash -- Fighters are limited in range, but Airward Slash gives you an option to at least attempt to attack flying enemies with this leaping strike.

The best item recipes in Dragon’s Dogma 2

Believe it or not, your Arisen in Dragon's Dogma 2 is very skilled at crafting. We're not talking about building structures, tools, or weapons, but item crafting. By combining specific pairs of ingredients in your inventory, you can produce some extremely potent consumables. As you will discover for yourself on your first long trip across the land, there are a ton of materials to discover, leading to hundreds or thousands of possible combinations. Knowing what items are best saved to make something special can save you from having to scour the world looking for more or struggling without it. Here are the best recipes that not even the best pawns will tell you about.
Best item recipes

Salburious Drought
This green liquid will be your most common healing item in Dragon's Dogma 2 and also the item you will probably craft first. It probably has the most possible combinations of ingredients to make and will always be a more effective way to get the most healing out of any individual ingredients. If you have a Greenwarish and combine it with almost any fruit, you can whip this tonic up.
Detoxifying Decoction
Status effects are no joke in Dragon's Dogma 2. If you get poisoned, it isn't going away until you cure it or rest at an in or camp. And that's if you have enough healing items to keep yourself alive long enough to make it there. Detoxifying Decoctions will cure what ails you and keep you adventuring instead of scrambling to get back to town. An easy way to make it is by combining Pitywort and Syrupwort leaves.
Exquisite Dried Spud
Stamina regenerates naturally, so you may not think an item that replenishes it would be all that important. Ask yourself that when you're clinging to the back of a Griffen 100 feet above the ground and your grip is slipping. Pop an Exquisite Dried Spud to keep climbing or running in those touchy moments. Just smash two Ripened Princess Harspuds together to make it.
Mighty Robrant
For a more flavorful and alternative healing item, the Mighty Robrant will be able to take you from close to death to full HP for the majority of the game. This is a second-level item made by first crafting a Fruit Robrant and then combining that with Cinnamon Bark.
Miracle Robrant
The ultimate consumable that you can make is the Miracle Robrant. This will heal a massive amount of HP and refill your stamina all in one. These take a bit more work to get, so save them for emergencies. Make one with any Fine Robrant and a Saurian's Tail.
Bunch of Flowers
Finally, make a nice gift for someone with a Bunch of Flowers to earn some favor. You can give gifts to almost any important character in the game, and while not all will like flowers, a good deal will, and they're free to make. We craft ours out of Sunbloom and Noonblooms, but most flower combinations will do the job.
