One of the first missions inThe Final Shape campaignin Destiny 2 isTemptation, which sees your Guardian teaming up withCayde-6to track down Crow within the Pale Heart of the Traveler. To reach the cave that Crow is in, you’ll need todeactivate three conduitsin the surrounding area.
While some players can put two and two together to solve this puzzle, other Guardians have been scrambling around the Pale Heart aimlessly trying to figure out what they need to do. If you’re struggling with theTemptationmission in Destiny 2 The Final Shape, here’s how you candeactivate the conduitsand proceed with the mission.
How to deactivate the conduits in Destiny 2 The Final Shape
There arethree conduitsthat must be deactivated in order to complete the Temptation mission in Destiny 2 The Final Shape. All three conduits aremarked on your HUDso you can easily find them.
Once you arrive at a conduit, you’ll see a brightorange beam of lightnear a stone pointer on a circular track. To deactivate the conduit, you need toturn the pointerso that it faces the beam of light. you’re able to turn the pointer eitherclockwiseorcounter-clockwiseusing Psionic Insight, and it willmove one space for each Psionic Insightthat you deposit into the device.
You canobtain Psionic Insightby defeating the respawning Insight Psions surrounding the conduits. They pop up in pairs, so you can claimtwo Psionic Insight stacksat a time. Remember that the pointer will move one space along the ring for every Psionic Insight that you have, so make sure youdon’t accidentally get too manyby killing more Psions than you need.
To recap, the process is simple. Just kill theInsight Psionsthat spawn near each conduit, use theirPsionic Insightto rotate the pointer, and repeat until the pointer faces the beam oforange light. As long as you can manage the other enemies and survive long enough to deactivate all three conduits, you’ll be able to proceed with the mission and rescue Crow.
The Final Shape campaign in Destiny 2 hasa few other puzzles like this, but they’re nothing that you can’t handle. As you complete missions and work your way deeper into the Pale Heart of the Traveler, you’ll unlocknewAspectsandFragmentsfor thePrismaticsubclassalong with newExoticgear and rewards.
