The excitement surrounding *Destiny 2*'s latest Episode, *Heresy*, is palpable, especially with the introduction of new *Star Wars*-themed items and fresh activities. However, a mysterious element known as the Curio of the Nine has sparked curiosity among players. So, what exactly is the role of the Curio of the Nine in *Destiny 2*?
What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
As you delve deeper into *Heresy*, the third installment of the *Final Shape* saga, you'll encounter a variety of new and returning items, including weapons. Amidst these, you might stumble upon the enigmatic Curio of the Nine. This item's description labels it as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine." The Nine, known as the enigmatic entities ruling Unknown Space, are intricately linked to this item. However, the item's purpose remains shrouded in mystery, with its in-game text teasing, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"
This cryptic approach by the Nine leaves players seeking answers online, which can be engaging for lore enthusiasts eager to unravel *Destiny 2*'s intricate narratives. However, it can be frustrating for those who prefer a clutter-free inventory and want to focus on gameplay.
Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
Like most items in *Destiny 2*, the Curio of the Nine can be discarded from your inventory. However, be warned: once discarded, it cannot be retrieved. The item's description ominously states, "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 Nine's notorious reputation within *Destiny 2*'s lore, it's wise to hold onto the Curio of the Nine, at least until the end of *Heresy*.
