How To Get Divinity In Destiny 2: The Complete Quest Guide

The Divinity Trace Rifle is acquired by completing the Divine Fragmentation exotic quest, which requires activating a series of hidden puzzle nodes within the Garden of Salvation raid. Players must successfully navigate these environmental challenges while completing the raid and defeating the final boss to unlock the weapon from the concluding chest.

Prerequisite Requirements and Raid Readiness

Acquiring Divinity is not a solo endeavor; it requires a fireteam of six players committed to completing the Garden of Salvation raid in a single session. Because the puzzle nodes reset if the instance is abandoned or if the raid is not completed in one go, preparation is paramount. You must own the Shadowkeep expansion to access the raid and the questline.

• Essential Gear: High-damage output weapons such as Linear Fusion Rifles or Rockets for the final boss (Sanctified Mind).
• Mandatory Prerequisites: Completion of the initial Shadowkeep campaign missions on the Moon to unlock the Lunar Spire and the ability to interact with Vex tech.
• Fireteam Composition: Ensure at least one member is familiar with the puzzle mechanics, though all six players must be capable of standing on tether plates simultaneously.
• Estimated Duration: Expect a 3 to 5-hour time commitment, depending on the fireteam's experience with raid mechanics and communication.

Executing the Divine Fragmentation Questline

Step 1: Initiating the Quest at Lunar Battlegrounds

To begin, travel to the Lunar Battlegrounds on the Moon—the area where the Shadowkeep campaign starts. Proceed through the winding path until you reach the Vex gate guarded by a powerful Gatekeeper. Eliminate the surrounding Vex and the Gatekeeper to open the gate. Once inside, enter the Lunar Cave and scan the Vex dead body to obtain the quest, What’s This, What’s This?

Step 2: Decrypting the Core

You must now collect 120 Decryption Cores by defeating Vex anywhere in the solar system. These drop frequently from Vex enemies. Once you have collected enough cores, you are tasked with collecting 30 Phantasmal Fragments. These can be purchased from the Lectern of Enchantment on the Moon using Helium Filaments. Combining these items will create the Empowered Decryption Core, signaling you are ready to enter the raid.

Step 3: Activating the Hidden Raid Puzzles

Upon entering the Garden of Salvation, you must activate seven separate puzzles hidden throughout the raid environment. These involve tethering players to specific nodes to form a chain that connects to a final emitter.

1. Puzzle 1: Located near the start of the raid, behind a small ridge to the left of the initial encounter.
2. Puzzles 2 through 6: These are tucked away in the jumping puzzles and transition areas between the major boss encounters. They require coordinated tethering to complete.
3. Puzzle 7: This final puzzle is located in the room immediately preceding the boss arena for the Sanctified Mind.

Pro-Tip: If a player dies while tethering, the chain will break instantly. Ensure that the players acting as the anchors for the tether are fully healed and positioned behind cover if enemies are present.

Step 4: Completing the Final Raid Encounter

Once all seven puzzles are successfully activated, you must complete the raid normally. Do not return to orbit, as this will reset the quest progress and force you to restart the raid from the beginning. After the Sanctified Mind is defeated, a secondary chest will appear alongside the standard raid loot. Opening this chest will grant you the Divinity Exotic Trace Rifle.

Technical Specifications and Quest Parameters

Common Raid Failures and Field Fixes

• Root Cause: Fireteam returns to orbit mid-raid.
• Actionable Fix: Ensure all members have cleared their schedule for a full run. If the instance collapses, the quest progress is lost and you must restart the raid from the first encounter.
• Root Cause: Tether chain breaks during puzzle activation.
• Actionable Fix: Ensure the tether path is clear of obstacles. Use "Tether-weaving"—a technique where players space out evenly to maintain the link—to prevent line-of-sight blocks by environmental geometry.
• Root Cause: The Divinity chest fails to spawn.
• Actionable Fix: Verify that every single puzzle node was activated in order. If one node was skipped, the script for the final chest will not trigger. Double-check the progress of the quest step in your inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get Divinity if I join a raid group that is already at the final boss?

No. You must be present for the activation of all seven puzzles throughout the entirety of the raid. Joining at the boss checkpoint will result in no quest progression or chest spawn.

Does the puzzle need to be finished in a specific order?

Yes, the seven puzzles are sequential. You must progress through the raid chronologically and trigger them in the order intended by the game's encounter path.

Is Divinity still considered meta in current Destiny 2 content?

Yes, Divinity remains a top-tier utility weapon due to its unique "Judgment" debuff. It increases the damage taken by combatants from all sources by 15%, making it invaluable for high-level endgame activities and raid boss damage phases.

Do I need to be on the quest step to activate the puzzles?

Yes, you must have the Divine Fragmentation quest in your inventory and have completed the prerequisite steps on the Moon. If a player in your fireteam does not have the quest, the puzzles can still be activated, but they will not receive the weapon at the end.
