*Destiny 2* players are diving into the new *Heresy* Episode, buzzing with excitement over *Star Wars* items and fresh activities. Amidst this, a mysterious item known as the Curio of the Nine has piqued the curiosity of many. So, what exactly does the Curio of the Nine do in *Destiny 2*?
What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
As you journey through *Heresy*, the third installment of *Final Shape*, you'll encounter a variety of new items, including weapons both new and familiar. Among these, you might stumble upon the Curio of the Nine, a mysterious material described as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine." The Nine, enigmatic beings who govern Unknown Space, are intricately linked to this item's lore. However, the item's description in your inventory cryptically states, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"
This secrecy drives players to seek answers online, which can be engaging for those deeply invested in *Destiny 2*'s rich lore. On the flip side, it might be a bit of a hassle for players who prefer a tidy inventory and focus on the game's action-packed gameplay.
Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
Like most items in *Destiny 2*, you have the option to discard the Curio of the Nine. However, be warned: once discarded, there's no way to reclaim it. The item's description ominously 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 enigmatic nature of the Nine in *Destiny 2*'s lore, it's wise to heed this advice and keep the Curio of the Nine safe, at least until the end of *Heresy*.
