The short answer is, you cannot directly “farm” Divinity, the powerful Exotic Trace Rifle. Unlike other loot in Destiny 2, Divinity is not a random drop from enemies or activities. It is a guaranteed reward for completing a specific questline and challenges within the Garden of Salvation raid. However, you can prepare for obtaining Divinity by efficiently gathering required resources and mastering the mechanics of its associated quest. While you can’t “farm” Divinity, you can optimize your time and efficiency to make the process of acquisition as smooth as possible. This guide explains every step to get it.
Understanding the Divinity Quest
To acquire Divinity, Guardians must undertake the Divine Fragmentation quest, which culminates in a complex series of steps within the Garden of Salvation raid. The quest is not repeatable; once completed, Divinity is yours, guaranteed. Here’s how to approach the process:
The Starting Point
- Locate the Quest: Begin by traveling to the Sorrow’s Harbor Landing Zone on the Moon. From there, head south into the Lunar Battlegrounds. Defeat the Vex enemies in this area to start the quest, which will appear in your inventory.
Quest Steps Before the Raid
Before even stepping into the Garden of Salvation raid, you’ll need to accomplish the following:
-
Vex Core Analysis: You’ll need to analyze Vex Cores within three specific Nessus Lost Sectors:
- The Orrery
- Ancient Haunt
- The Conflux
Travel to each of these Lost Sectors and interact with the designated object to scan a Vex Core.
-
Vex Parts Collection: Collect 120 Vex Parts by defeating Vex enemies anywhere in the system. The easiest place to achieve this is within the Vex areas of the Moon (specifically the Sorrow’s Harbor region, near the raid entrance) due to high concentrations of Vex enemies.
-
Phantasmal Fragment Collection and Decryption: Collect 30 Phantasmal Fragments by completing activities on the Moon. Purchase an Empowered Decryption Core using these fragments. This core is critical for the final steps in the raid.
Completing the Garden of Salvation Raid
The real “farm” or rather, the true test, lies within the Garden of Salvation raid. To obtain Divinity, you and your fireteam need to do the following:
- Solve Laser Puzzles: Within the raid, there are a series of intricate laser puzzles that must be solved. These puzzles often require coordinated teamwork and precise execution. These are only doable when you have the Divine Fragmentation quest active.
- Defeat the Final Boss: In the same raid run where you complete the laser puzzles, defeat the final boss. You must accomplish the puzzles and boss kill in a single run to receive Divinity. Leaving the raid and returning will reset your progress on the quest’s in-raid puzzles.
Key Takeaways and Preparation
- Team Coordination: A well-coordinated six-person fireteam is essential for successfully tackling the raid and the laser puzzles. Clear communication and pre-defined roles are crucial.
- Power Level: Ensure you are at the recommended power level for the Garden of Salvation, currently 1600+ for the base raid. This ensures you aren’t significantly underpowered when facing the raid’s challenges.
- Time Commitment: Getting Divinity requires a significant time investment, potentially several hours, especially if your fireteam is new to the raid. Be prepared for a long session.
- Shadowkeep DLC: You need the Shadowkeep DLC to access the Moon and the Garden of Salvation raid.
- Efficiency: While there’s no direct way to farm the weapon, maximizing your Vex kill rates and fragment collection on the Moon can reduce the time spent outside of the raid.
