Destiny 2 – The Mists On Nessus | Lumina Quest Step

The Lumina Exotic Hand Cannon quest has arrived in Destiny 2, and with it, a reason to visit the Mists on Nessus. For one of the quest steps, you need to go to the location given by your System Positioning Device to find a special lock box. Shin Malphur might be giving us the run around a little on this quest, but it will be worth it to get that sweet new weapon.

The Mists On Nessus | Lumina Quest Step

To get to the Mists, spawn in at Artifact’s Edge, then drop down and hop on your Sparrow. You want to head for the Tangle, which is the road behind the direction you were facing when you spawned in.

When you reach the Tangle, drop down in the deeper ravine and make for the hole in the wall shown in the header image for this article. Go all the way through the tunnels, ignoring enemies you meet. Eventually, you will pass three Vex Harpies as you move down a narrow hallway, and enter a large chamber with a significant gap in the middle. Jump across the gap, and when you reach the other side, move right towards the end of the platform. There will be a narrow ledge below you that you can drop down to. Drop down and then head into the secret little room and you will find the lock box you need. Because this is a bit awkward to get to, I have made the below video to show you exactly where to go.

If you arrive here, and the lock-box is not there, then recheck your System Positioning Device. The location of the lock-box will rotate every hour, it might have skipped off to a new location.

So far, it can be either Shaft 13 on the EDZ, or Excavation Site II on Io, or the Spine of Keres at the Dreaming City, the Sinking Docks on Titan, the High Plains on the Tangled Shore, the Mistson Nessus, or Alton Dynamo on Mars, and the Lighthouse on Mercury. Click on either link for a guide on how to get there, and where to find the lockbox.

We are working on a full guide for the Lumina quest, and are updating it as we move through the steps. Best of luck, Guardian.
