Destiny 2 Curse of Osiris Lost Prophecies
We will first take a look at what Lost Prophecies are, how can you start them, how to finish them, and how to reap the rewards that they offer.
Essentially, the Lost Prophecies are side adventures which you have to complete and are rewarded with weapons which are based on the Curse of Osiris theme.
The weapons are legendary and you can grow them further as well. There are 11 Lost Prophecies in the game right now, all of which require a fair bit of grinding to complete them.
How to Start the Lost Prophecies
Lost Prophecies are picked up from Brother Vance in the Lighthouse. When you get these Prophecies, there will be certain items that you need to find in order to complete the Prophecy.
However, before you do all of this, there are certain requirements that you need to complete.
First of all, you need to complete the campaign for the Curse of Osiris, which is quite small so it should not be a problem. After this, move on to the Lighthouse inside Mercury and meet with Brother Vance to get the first quest for the Lost Prophecies.
This will be one of the three missions/adventures that you will have to complete, The Up and Up, The Runner and Bug in the System. These will take you through the Infinite Forest again, while concluding with a different ending in a different time zone.
You will be able to unlock the Mercury Adventure Tokens and you will also be allowed to go on Heroic Adventures. One of these Heroic Adventures will have to be completed.
The Heroic Adventures will be more difficult than the usual Adventures, so try completing these with a Fireteam.
You can try completing the Runner since it will be the easiest to complete out of all of the Adventures. Now meet with Brother Vance to get the first quest for the Lost Prophecies. Verse 1 will probably be your first Lost Prophecy
How to Complete the Lost Prophecy Quest
The quest is a little different than other quests. You are not given a marker where you can go and complete the quest, instead, you have to search and farm resources which are required by completing various different Events, Strikes, and Adventures. You can check out our guides for farming these items as they will really increase the speed of the process.
After you have the ingredients, head back to Brother Vance and turn in the ingredients to receive a tablet and a Legendary Weapon. Once you have the tablet, all you need to do is to interact with the Forge to receive your reward.
Lost Prophecies Rewards
There are a total of 11 verses, and thus there are 11 weapons. Acquiring these weapons is also a great way to increase your Power Level. Each weapon will require for you to give in a combination of Concentrated Radiolarian Culture or Advanced Paradox Amplifier.
Here, we will list the rewards for all 11 of the Lost Prophecies. Once you’ve completed all of the ones listed below, you will be rewarded a Sagira Shell, an Exotic Ghost Shell, alongside a Prophetic Arsenal, a Legendary Emblem.
You will also be able to track the finished ones on a wall that is located behind the Weapon Forge. The wall will have lit-up orbs corresponding to every verse.
