*Destiny 2* players have eagerly jumped into the new *Heresy* Episode, released as part of the *Final Shape* series, buzzing with excitement over *Star Wars* themed items and fresh activities. Amidst all this, a curious mystery has emerged surrounding a peculiar item known as the Curio of the Nine.
What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
As you navigate through the *Heresy* Episode, you'll encounter a variety of new and returning weapons and gear. Among these, you might stumble upon an intriguing material labeled as the Curio of the Nine. The item's description teases, "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine," hinting at its connection to the enigmatic Nine who govern the Unknown Space.
Despite its tie to the lore of the Nine, the game keeps its purpose shrouded in mystery. When inspected, the item cryptically states, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…" This vagueness has sent lore enthusiasts scouring the internet for clues, while others, who prefer a clutter-free inventory, find it somewhat frustrating.
Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
Like many items in *Destiny 2*, you can choose to discard the Curio of the Nine. However, be warned: once discarded, there's no way to retrieve it. The item's description sternly advises, "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 mysterious and powerful nature within *Destiny 2*'s universe, it might be wise to keep the Curio of the Nine in your inventory throughout the *Heresy* Episode, just to be on the safe side.
