*Destiny 2* players are diving into the new *Heresy* Episode, filled with excitement over *Star Wars* items and fresh activities. Amidst this, a mysterious material known as the Curio of the Nine has caught the attention of many. So, what exactly is the purpose of the Curio of the Nine in *Destiny 2*?
What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
As you journey through *Heresy*, the third installment of *The Final Shape*, you'll encounter various new items, including both new and returning weapons. However, a peculiar item named Curio of the Nine has piqued player interest. The item's description states, "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine." The Nine, enigmatic beings that control Unknown Space, are connected to this item, yet the purpose remains shrouded in mystery. When inspecting the Curio in your inventory, it cryptically notes, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"
This secrecy has driven players online in search of answers. While this is intriguing for lore enthusiasts eager to delve deep into *Destiny 2*'s narrative, it can be frustrating for those who prefer a clutter-free inventory and wish to focus solely on 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 acquire it. However, be warned: it cannot be reacquired if discarded. The item's description dramatically 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 ominous nature of the Nine within *Destiny 2*'s lore, it's advisable to retain the Curio of the Nine at least until the *Heresy* Episode concludes.
