The Investigation — Destiny 2 Walkthrough

Unravel the mysteries of Savathûn's Throne World in The Investigation. This mission tasks you with piecing together clues and uncovering hidden truths about the Witch Queen's intricate plans and her connection to the Traveler.

The Investigation is a crucial mission within Savathûn's Throne World, focusing on narrative progression and puzzle-solving alongside combat. Players will be tasked with gathering evidence, deciphering cryptic messages, and confronting entities that hold vital information. This mission often requires careful observation of the environment and a methodical approach to unraveling Savathûn's deceptions. Success depends on both combat prowess and the ability to solve the puzzles presented.

Mission Objectives and Walkthrough:

  1. Gather Clues and Evidence: Your primary objective is to locate and collect various pieces of evidence scattered throughout the Throne World. These clues might be hidden in specific locations, dropped by certain enemies, or revealed through environmental interactions.
  2. Decipher Cryptic Messages: Savathûn often leaves behind cryptic messages or puzzles that need to be solved to progress. These can range from simple symbol matching to more complex riddles that require understanding the lore.
  3. Confront Information Keepers: You may need to confront specific enemies or entities that possess crucial information. These encounters often involve unique mechanics or require specific actions to extract the data.
  4. Explore Hidden Areas: The Throne World is filled with secrets. This mission will likely lead you to explore hidden pathways, forgotten chambers, and areas not immediately accessible, requiring careful navigation.
  5. Piece Together Savathûn's Plan: As you gather clues, the overarching narrative of Savathûn's plan will begin to unfold. The mission aims to reveal her motivations and the extent of her influence.

Key Locations and Enemies:

  • Hidden Alcoves and Corridors: Be prepared to explore less obvious paths within the Throne World's architecture. Look for subtle environmental cues that might indicate a hidden area.
  • Lore-Rich Environments: Pay attention to the details in the environment. Lore entries, visual storytelling, and audio logs can provide vital context and clues.
  • Lucent Hive and Taken: You will encounter various Lucent Hive enemies, empowered by the Light, and potentially Taken forces that Savathûn has manipulated. These enemies may guard critical clues or information.
  • Savathûn's Agents: Expect to face elite Hive champions or agents who are tasked with protecting Savathûn's secrets.

Strategies for Success:

  • Thorough Exploration: Do not rush through the mission. Take your time to explore every nook and cranny of the environment. Clues can be easily missed if you're only focused on combat.
  • Read and Listen: Pay close attention to any lore entries, dialogue, or audio logs you encounter. These often contain the keys to solving puzzles or understanding the next step.
  • Environmental Interaction: Look for objects or mechanisms in the environment that can be interacted with. These might be levers, switches, or specific symbols that need to be activated in a certain order.
  • Combat Preparedness: While investigation is key, combat is still a significant part of the mission. Ensure you have a balanced weapon loadout and your abilities are ready for any enemy encounters.
  • Team Communication (if applicable): If playing with a fireteam, communicate any clues you find or puzzles you're working on. Different perspectives can help solve complex problems faster.

The Investigation is a mission that rewards patience and keen observation. By diligently following the clues and overcoming the challenges, you will gain a deeper understanding of Savathûn's complex machinations.
