Curio of the Nine's Role in Destiny 2 Unveiled

With the launch of the *Destiny 2* Episode: *Heresy*, players are buzzing with excitement over new *Star Wars* themed items and fresh activities. However, amidst the thrill, a mysterious item known as the Curio of the Nine has caught the attention of many Guardians. But what exactly does the Curio of the Nine do in *Destiny 2*?

What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

As you delve into the third installment of the *Final Shape* series, *Heresy*, you'll encounter a variety of new and returning weapons. Among these, you might stumble upon the Curio of the Nine, described intriguingly as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine." The Nine, enigmatic entities that govern Unknown Space, are at the heart of this mystery. Yet, the item's purpose remains shrouded in secrecy. When inspecting it in your inventory, you're met with a cryptic message: "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"

This lack of clarity has sparked a flurry of online discussions among players eager to unravel *Destiny 2*'s lore. While it's a delight for those deeply invested in the game's narrative, it can be a bit of a hassle for players who prefer a clutter-free inventory and wish to focus solely on the gameplay.

Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

Like most items in *Destiny 2*, you have the option to discard the Curio of the Nine once you've acquired it. However, be warned: once discarded, there's no way to retrieve it. 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 enigmatic nature of the Nine and their significant role in *Destiny 2*'s lore, it's advisable to hold onto the Curio of the Nine, at least throughout the *Heresy* episode. Better safe than sorry, especially when dealing with such mysterious beings.
