Destiny 2 The Final Shape Missions List and Quests (2024)

Seeing our heroes finally enter the Pale Heart of the Traveler to take the fight to the Witness, The Final Shape is the bombastic finale of the decade-long Light and Darkness saga. Throughout the Destiny 2 The Final Shape missions and campaign quests, you’ll explore the Pale Heart, battle the Dread, and learn more about the Traveler.

Not just that, you’ll also be able to earn brand-new Destiny 2 The Final Shape Exotics, including weapons, armor, and class items. There’s also the Destiny 2 Overthrow activity to keep you occupied once you’ve finished The Final Shape mission list.

Destiny 2 The Final Shape Missions List

The Destiny 2 The Final Shape mission list features the following eight campaign missions:

• Mission 1: Transmigration
• Mission 2: Temptation
• Mission 3: Exegesis
• Mission 4: Requiem
• Mission 5: Ascent
• Mission 6: Dissent
• Mission 7: Iconoclasm
• Mission 8 (Unlocked after the World First Raid completion)

So far, Bungie has only showcased Transmigration, the first of the eight missions that make up Final Shape's main story campaign. Interspersed between these missions will be cutscenes tying each one together, some of which we get a glimpse at in the launch trailer for the expansion.

This is a similar length to The Witch Queen and Lightfall, both of which featured eight missions in their main campaigns, and a variety of post-campaign activities.

If you’re playing before The Final Shape raid release date on Friday, June 7, 2024, then you will only have access to the first seven missions. The eighth, final mission is only unlocked after the World First Raid race has finished, wrapping up the end of The Final Shape’s campaign story and making way for the first Episode, known as Episode: Echoes.

Importantly, each mission also unlocks Prismatic Supers, grenades, melee abilities, and Aspects that let you further develop your Prismatic build. Take a look at our guides to the best Destiny 2 Prismatic Warlock builds, Prismatic Titan builds, and Prismatic Hunter builds to find out more.

Transmigration

Transmigration is the first mission in The Final Shape missions list and sees the Guardian enter the Traveler at long last. Here, you will have to fight your way through reimagined versions of the Last City and the Tower from Destiny 1.

Most importantly, you will unlock Prismatic near the end of Transmigration, giving you access to the subclass almost right from the start of The Final Shape’s campaign missions.

Temptation

Mission two, Temptation, follows the Guardian as they explore The Landing in the Pale Heart in search of Crow, who was the first to enter the Traveler. It's pretty simple as far as missions go, tasking you with taking out groups of enemies and solving simple puzzles to progress.

Exegesis

Exegesis, the third mission, is focused on finding Ikora, which predominantly takes place in The Blooming area of the Pale Heart. Again, it's about what you'd expect, seeing you fighting groups of the Witness' army and completing puzzles. In this case, that's killing Psions to open locks.

Requiem

Mission four, Requiem, takes place in The Seclusion and focuses on Zavala, seeing you explore more of the Titan Vanguard's past, including his home with his wife and son. This will be a touching moment for many long-time fans, no doubt.

Ascent

Ascent is the fifth mission and sees you traverse the outskirts of the Pale Heart before scaling a massive glacier, which is a recreation of the Cosmodrome Wall. Here, you will fight your way through the Witness' forces to emerge on the other side, ending the mission where your story began...

You will also unlock the new Light subclass Supers at the end of Ascent. If you're playing with Prismatic, then worry not as these Supers are also available in the Prismatic subclass too.

After completing Ascent, you must complete The Message Part 1-3. Although it's not strictly a 'mission', this quest is part of the main narrative and is required to continue.

Destiny 2 The Final Shape Quests

The Destiny 2 The Final Shape quests so far are:

• Wild Card
• Destined Heroes
• The Heart's Depths
• Convalescence: Budding
• The Messenger 1, 2, and 3

The most important quest is Wild Card, which must be completed (alongside the campaign) to access the raid. Completing Wild Card will also unlock the Exotic sniper rifle Still Hunt.

Destiny 2 The Final Shape Legendary Campaign Mode

The Final Shape has a Legendary campaign mode that increases the difficulty and disables Activity Power, ensuring that you are always at a set Power level below the mission difficulty. Legendary mode is designed for experienced players and teams with a solid understanding of their builds and loadouts.

As a reward for beating The Final Shape Legendary campaign mode, you will get to choose an Exotic armor piece from the new additions in this expansion, as well as raid-ready armor. Check out the Destiny 2 The Final Shape Legendary campaign rewards to find out more.

Well, that covers all the latest details on the Destiny 2 The Final Shape missions list for its campaign, including Legendary difficulty and additional quests. Exploring the Pale Heart will also progress you through the fresh new Destiny 2 Pathfinder system, so learn how that works for bonus rewards.
