Ahoy Guardian! So, you want to know how to snag the elusive Deathbringer rocket launcher in Destiny 2? Well, you've come to the right place! This guide will give you the lowdown on the Symphony of Death quest and how to get your grubby mitts on the Deathbringer, regardless of the platform you're playing on.
First things first, you need the Shadowkeep DLC expansion pack to attempt this side quest. Got it? Good. Now, let's get to the nitty-gritty.
Deathbringer Weapon Guide - What to do?
Ah, the Symphony of Death quest. Before you can dive in and start playing your own death metal symphony, there are a few objectives you need to check off your list. Think of it like tuning your guitar before you start shredding.
Here are the tasks you'll need to complete before embarking on this epic quest:
- Step 1 – Complete the Campaign
So you've made it to the Shadowkeep DLC and want to embark on the Symphony of Death quest? Well, before you start singing your heart out, there are some prerequisites that need to be met. First, you'll need to complete all of the main Shadowkeep campaign quests, and if that wasn't enough, you'll have to chat up with Eris Morn in the Sanctuary to collect the Memory of Sai Mota. Only then can you begin your journey towards acquiring the Deathbringer. So, what are you waiting for? Get cracking on those quests!
- Step 2 – Talk to Eris
Well, well, well, looks like it's time to have another chit-chat with Eris Morn. Once you've completed all of the main Shadowkeep campaign quests and collected the Memory of Sai Mota from her, she'll give you yet another task: the Lunar Spelunker bounty. Get ready to explore the depths of the moon and delve into the unknown!
- Step 3 – Lost Sector Around the Moon
Alright, buckle up, Guardian, we're headed to the moon! To get one step closer to getting that sweet, sweet Deathbringer, you're going to have to complete not one, not two, but THREE Lost Sectors! We're talking K1 Communion, K1 Crew Quarters, and K1 Logistics. Get in there, slay those bosses, and collect the loot at the end like the loot-hungry warrior you are. But wait, there's more! As a reward for your hard work, you'll also get the coveted Firewall Data Fragment. Don't worry, you don't have to be a tech genius to collect it. Just complete the Lunar Spelunker bounty and it's all yours!
- Step 4 – Sorrow's Harbor
Welcome, Guardian! Are you ready for the next step in your Symphony of Death quest? Excellent! To get closer to your goal of obtaining the coveted Deathbringer, you'll need to complete the final Lost Sector on the Moon: K1 Revelation in Sorrow's Harbor. As you battle through the sector, keep an eye out for an orange tunnel that leads to a locked door. And what's the key to that door, you ask? The Firewall Data Fragment you collected earlier! Use it to unlock the door and get your hands on Sai Mota's Broken Necklace. Just remember, it's not really broken, it's just in need of some... TLC.
- Step 5 – Defeat Nightmares using Arc
Ah, the sweet sound of Nightmares getting destroyed with Arc abilities! To progress further in the Symphony of Death quest, you must channel your inner Arc-tist and collect 20 Necklace Scraps by defeating Nightmares using those electrifying Arc abilities.
But wait, don't get too excited just yet. You can't just use any weapon to take down those Nightmares. Oh no, no, no. You gotta make the final blow with an Arc weapon to make it rain Necklace Scraps. So, grab that Arc weapon, aim true, and make those Nightmares shiver in their boots (if they had any)!
- Step 6 – Back to Eris
Listen up, guardians! If you want to get your hands on the Deathbringer, you're gonna have to work for it. First things first, you gotta complete all the main Shadowkeep campaign quests. Easy peasy, right? Once that's done, head on over to Eris Morn in the Sanctuary and collect the Memory of Sai Mota. She's like the Dumbledore of Destiny, so listen to her wise words.
Now, before you can start the Symphony of Death quest, there are a few more tasks you need to accomplish. Accept the Lunar Spelunker bounty from Eris and complete three Lost Sectors across the Moon. You'll need to put those spelunking skills to the test and find your way through K1 Communion, K1 Crew Quarters, and K1 Logistics. Don't forget to grab the Firewall Data Fragment as your reward!
Now, the final Lost Sector in Sorrow’s Harbor, K1 Revelation, is where things get really interesting. Look for an orange tunnel at the end of the sector that leads to a locked door. Use that Firewall Data Fragment you collected earlier to unlock it and grab Sai Mota’s Broken Necklace.
But wait, there's more! Back to Sorrow's Harbor you go, guardian. This time, you'll need to defeat Nightmares using Arc abilities to collect 20 Necklace Scraps. It's like playing a game of "Operation" - you gotta make sure that final blow comes from an Arc weapon or else you won't get any Necklace Scraps.
Now that you've got all the scraps, head back to the Sanctuary and enter the portal where Eris usually hangs out. Open the chest behind her to begin the first step of the Symphony of Death quest, Faculties of the Skull. Good luck, guardians!
- Step 7 – Circle of Bones
Ah, the joys of a scavenger hunt! Once you've completed the Faculties of the Skull quest step in the Circle of Bones, head on back to Eris in the Sanctuary to start the Marrow's Elegy quest step. It's time to collect some bones! But don't worry, no need to dig up any ancient graves (yet). Here are the three bones you'll need to get your hands on:
- First up, complete a Public Event in the Hellmouth. Make sure to put on your best party hat and bring some snacks for this one.
- Next, clear the K1 Revelation Lost Sector on the Moon... again. Hey, practice makes perfect, right?
- Last but not least, defeat a Wandering Bone Collector on the Moon. These guys tend to hang out near the Fallen encampment in the Anchor of Light, so keep your eyes peeled.
Once you've gathered all three bones, return to Eris to continue on with the Symphony of Death quest. Happy bone hunting!
- Step 8 – Scarlet Keep Strike
Ah, the Scarlet Keep Strike. You know what they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! To advance in the Symphony of Death quest, you must first join the Scarlet Keep Strike and take down Sulmakta the High Conductor. But don't worry, you won't be doing this alone. You'll have a fireteam by your side to help you take down this high-ranking enemy on the second floor. Make sure to bring your best gear and some snacks, because it might take a while to defeat Sulmakta. Good luck, guardian!
- Step 9 – Of Darkness Harmony
Ah, the Of Darkest Harmony quest step. The one that requires us to defeat enemies, enemies with yellow or red health bars, and even bosses or other guardians. Looks like we're in for some serious butt-kicking action!
But don't get too caught up in the mayhem just yet. Keep in mind that this step can take quite a while to complete, so it might be worth your while to take a breather and work on other quests in the meantime. Trust me, your thumbs will thank you later.
So, grab your weapons and get ready to unleash some serious firepower on those enemies! It's time to show them who's boss (or guardian, as it were).
- Step 10 – Choir of the Damned
Ah, the moment we've all been waiting for! It's time to complete the final step in the Symphony of Death quest and get our hands on the coveted Deathbringer rocket launcher. Here's what you need to do:
First, complete the Choir of the Damned quest step by heading back to the Circle of Bones and taking down the boss, Ir Airam the Deathsinger. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it when you finally hear that satisfying explosion.
Once you've emerged victorious, make your way back to Eris and collect your well-earned reward: the Deathbringer rocket launcher. With this bad boy in your arsenal, you'll be blowing up enemies left and right.
So get out there, Guardian, and show those baddies what you're made of!
Final Words
Listen up, Guardian! The Deathbringer is an Exotic weapon that can only be found in the Shadowkeep expansion. This bad boy launches rockets that split into multiple projectiles, raining down destruction on your enemies.
Its intrinsic perk, Dark Deliverance, allows you to shoot projectiles that can be detonated remotely. And with Volatile Launch, Alloy Casing, Dark Descent, and Composite Stock, you'll be one unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Sure, it may not be the fastest in terms of handling speed, but with a large blast radius and faster reload time than most rocket launchers, it's definitely a weapon you don't want to miss out on.
So get out there, Guardian, and show those Hive what you're made of with the Deathbringer!
