Within the boundless cosmic realm of Destiny 2, players often find themselves seeking collectibles that not merely improve their gaming encounter, but also offer a deeper understanding of the game's rich narrative. One such collectible, the Visions of the Traveler, has captured the attention of players venturing through the newly introduced realm of the Pale Heart in The Final Shape expansion. This piece serves as an all-encompassing roadmap for pinpointing each Vision scattered throughout the Pale Heart, along with valuable insights into what these collectibles mean for your journey in the game.
Introduction to the Pale Heart
The Pale Heart destination, introduced in The Final Shape expansion, is filled with numerous collectibles that delve into the intricate storylines of Destiny 2. The Visions of the Traveler serve not only as fascinating collectibles but also trigger unique character dialogues, offering players insights into the game's lore. Collecting these Visions is also a requirement for specific seasonal challenges, rewarding players with experience points and contribute to various Triumphs. However, before you embark on the search for these elusive collectibles, you must first complete the campaign of The Final Shape and fully unlock the Lost City’s Tower location within the Pale Heart.
Understanding the Visions of the Traveler
There are eight Visions of the Traveler scattered across different areas of the Pale Heart, each tucked away in unique locations. Collecting these Visions not only adds to your Triumph but also opens doors to more rewarding experiences and potential items. Once you’ve gathered them all, you can place them back at the Tower, a process that further connects you to the story of Destiny 2. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each Vision’s location.
Landing
The adventure begins at The Landing, where the first Vision is easily accessible. Start at the transmat zone and immediately veer left. Look toward the edge of the area, where you’ll find an elaborate scaffolding and a bottom-level pool of water. Safely drop down into this pool to retrieve the first Vision, nestled in a serene location just waiting to be discovered.
Blooming
To find the second Vision located in The Blooming, you’ll need to elevate your viewpoint. From the transmat zone, head east toward the path leading to The Seclusion. While journeying along this path, keep an eye upward. Nestled among the tree branches, this Vision requires a bit of climbing; utilize the nearby cliff rocks to your advantage to reach it.
Impasse
The third Vision waits for you in The Impasse. Begin your search from the transmat zone, where the Vision is hiding among several Pyramid structures. You can actually spot it from your starting location, located beside a sculptured ring. Head left toward the sculpture, where the Vision is cleverly positioned in the center, easily overlooked despite its visibility.
Lost City
Afterward, navigate to The Lost City using the transmat zone from the Tower. Descend to Micah-10 and exit through a side door. This portion takes you back through the Lost City’s rooftops. Now, focus on the color-coded paths: the red one will lead you to your next clue. Traverse the rooftops until you reach the end of the red path. Look across to see a small pool of water with a waterfall; the Vision is hiding behind some rocks by the waterfall.
Refraction
The chase continues into The Refraction. Here, the Vision is somewhat elusive, lying near a creek along a cliffside trail. Journey into the crystalline caves and peer down the edge; the creek should be visible from the opposite side. Make the leap down the roots to the creek’s location, where the Vision awaits within this hidden sanctuary.
Seclusion
This next Vision presents a challenge. Initially, players must complete some of Micah-10’s quests to locate lost Ghosts, unlocking the Searing Light Cyst on the map. After accomplishing this, sail from The Blooming to The Seclusion and turn left, where a waterfall creates a creek. Slip behind the waterfall to discover a cave entrance marked with Hive runes. Shoot the runes in the correct order to unlock access. Once inside, steer clear of the bigger cavern and explore the shadowy opening to your right. This is where the Vision has been carefully concealed.
Divide
Once you are equipped with the previous Visions, head to The Divide. Ascend the snowy peaks until you reach the mountaintop. The Vision is cleverly stashed behind a satellite dish located at the summit. Reach the peak and leap behind the satellite to acquire this hidden collectible.
Transgression
Your final challenge is in The Transgression, where reduced visibility adds complexity to your search. Begin at the Impasse transmat zone and drift eastward through three stormy segments. As you advance further along your journey, keep an eye out for a substantial dead tree obscured by dust. Positioned near some Pyramid columns, this tree conceals the last Vision behind it, awaiting your discovery.
Returning the Visions
After you have successfully gathered all eight Visions of the Traveler, it’s time to return them to the Tower in the Lost City. From the transmat zone, navigate left and go beneath the platform leading to a doorway that opens into a familiar chamber reminiscent of the original Destiny's Speaker of the Traveler. Each Vision needs to be placed on its designated pedestal inside this room. Once all Visions are placed, a golden chest will manifest in the center, signaling your reward for dedication and exploration.
Unlocking Rewards and Triumphs
To open the golden chest, you’ll require 17 Motes of Light, eight of which will be obtained from collecting the Visions. The remaining Motes can be gathered by defeating bosses during the Overthrow activity present in three major areas: The Landing, The Blooming, and The Impasse. Each area houses three bosses to conquer, summing up to the number needed for the chest. Completing this task is not just an encounter with the game’s challenges; it connects you deeper into the lore while unlocking the opportunity to obtain the new Exotic weapon, Khvostov 7G-0x. For those enthusiastic about collectibles, this is a worthwhile pursuit.
Earning Your Rewards
Collecting the Visions of the Traveler is more than a simple scavenger hunt within Destiny 2; it’s a means to immerse oneself in the lore and narrative the game offers. As you navigate through the Pale Heart, remember that each collectible contributes to furthering your XP, acquiring new Triumphs, and unlocking unique rewards. With every Vision collected, you also solidify your connection to the overarching story of Destiny 2. Embrace the journey—each Vision awaits discovery, promising both a challenge and the thrill of unlocking the game’s deepest secrets.
