How To Get Bastion In Destiny 2 – Corridors Of Time Exotic Quest Guide

The Destiny 2 community can do amazing things when it comes together–like solve the massive puzzle at the center of the Corridors of Time, as it did last week. Completing the Corridors unlocked a new Exotic quest, leading to a Kinetic fusion rifle called Bastion a week ahead of schedule. It also furthered Destiny 2’s story in some really interesting ways. Thanks to that effort, you can earn Bastion right now–below you’ll find instructions on exactly how to get Bastion, and you don’t even need to solve the Corridors of Time’s giant maze.

As of the January 21 weekly reset, you don’t even need to solve the Corridors of Time puzzle to advance the quest. Instead, you can get it straight from Saint-14, who will send you to the Tangled Shore to complete a series of steps, which you’ll find below. However, there is a prerequisite before he’ll offer the quest; Bungie stated on Twitter that you’ll need to first complete Saint-14’s storyline, which involves the Recovering the Past and An Impossible Task quests.

If you’re interested in earning the lore, secret emblem, and story dialogue that’s in the Corridors of Time, you should complete those steps quickly; Bungie says the Corridors will only be available for another week, disappearing with the weekly reset on January 28.

Check out our full Corridors of Time guide for everything you need to know.

If You Want To Solve The Corridors Of Time

You no longer need to solve the Corridors of Time to get the Bastion Exotic quest–you can now pick it up from Saint-14. If you’d prefer the faster route, skip this section. If you do that, though, you’ll miss out on some story opportunities, so read on for the full experience.

First, visit Osiris to get the “Explore the Corridors of Time” quest, then use the panel beside him at the Sundial to access the Corridors. There are a lot of things you can get in there, including lore and a special secret emblem. Check out our complete Corridors of Time guide to see how. You’ll want to grab all that stuff before you do your final run to complete the quest.

When you enter the Corridors, head through the first door to enter a room with five different exits. Each one has a signpost beside it with a symbol. To finish “Explore the Corridors of Time,” you’ll need to go through the doors in a specific order to reach the Timelost Vault. This is the puzzle the Destiny 2 community has been working on for the last week, and all that effort has revealed a 30-symbol code that will lead you through the maze.

Go through the doors in this order to finish the quest:

1. Clover
2. Diamond with three plants
3. Snake
4. Clover
5. Plus sign
6. Plus sign
7. Interlocking hexagon
8. Interlocking hexagon
9. Interlocking hexagon
10. Plus
11. Diamond
12. Plus
13. Snake
14. Diamond
15. Clover
16. Snake
17. Plus
18. Plus
19. Snake
20. Snake
21. Hexagon
22. Diamond
23. Clover
24. Plus
25. Diamond
26. Hexagon
27. Hexagon
28. Diamond
29. Plus
30. Diamond

Once you reach the Vault, access it and listen to Saint-14’s dialog to receive an item called a Chronometric Core. Return to Saint-14 to turn in the core and receive the next step of the quest, “A False Refraction.”

A False Refraction

Next, head to the Tangled Shore. You’ll need to start by killing five Fallen Servitors and Captains to gain Fallen Intel. You should be able to find all five pretty quickly in the Thieves’ Landing area. After that, head to Spider for the next step, called “Memento.”

Backroom Brawl

Speak to Spider and he’ll send you after a Fallen Captain called Aksiniks. You’ll find him in the Thieves’ Landing Lost Sector called The Empty Tank, which is right next to the Spider’s area. Head inside and clear the Lost Sector like usual; you’ll find Aksiniks in the arena near where you’d usually fight the Lost Sector boss.

With Aksiniks down, return to the Spider for the next step in the quest.

A Strong Arm

Now you’re on to the grinding portion of the quest. You’ll need to clear 10 of Spider’s bounties, while also killing 30 Challenging enemies and finishing eight Public Events on the Tangled Shore. Those should go pretty quickly. Both daily Spider bounties and his Wanted bounties work for this step, including those Wanted bounties that take you to other planets.

Rude Awakening

Now that you’ve raised some havoc, Spider will have gained the information you need about your next step. You’re looking for a gravesite hidden in the Trapper’s Cave Lost Sector, which is located in the Tangled Shore’s Four-Horn Gulch area. Head into the Lost Sector and continue until you hit the room with the waterfall, which is filled with Cabal Legionaries and Psions. Clear the room and drop down to the bottom of the waterfall, then turn left and face the wall.

You should see a gassy blue Ether trail leading to the gravesite. Interact with it to get the next step in the quest, but be careful–you’ve just triggered a Scorn ambush.

Altered Chief

With the Altered Chief item in hand, you’re ready to track down the Scorn Chieftain you’ve been hunting this whole time, and the weapon he took from Saint-14. Check the Tangled Shore map in the Director and you should see a new version of the Strike called The Hallowed Lair, marked “The Hallowed Lair, Memento.” That’s your next destination.

You’ll find the Memento version of The Hallowed Lair is pretty much identical to the regular version of the Strike, with one key difference. In the final battle with the Fanatic, look for an Elite Scorn Chieftain enemy named Defiled Reysk, The Waning Light. Kill him and complete the Strike to get the last step in the quest. Return to Saint-14 and claim your Bastion.
