The Taken King: Hidden/Unlockable subquests (Treasure hunting)

[Juniper]

I noticed there was already a thread for Destiny

but it seems to have not been posted in since..

Before house of wolves.

This is NOT a general destiny thread though,

It is specifically for (as mentioned above) all the hidden garbage you can unlock in tTK.

I don't know if this thread will attract anyone at all,

but if you know about something that I haven't posted or want to correct something that I have posted,

Feel free to reply x.x

Lastly, before I list out what I know, if there are any problems with this thread,

eg. Wrong place, repetition of topic "Destiny", etc.

Then feel free to move it or re-move it if you have that authority.

OK, onto the secret trash.

Most of what's been found so far are Exotic weapons, so I'll divide them into categories

-Primary

-special

-Heavy

PRIMARY WEAPONS

Ace of Spades (Hand cannon)/Fabien strategy (Auto-Rifle)/ Tlaloc (Scout Rifle)

These weapons are exotic primaries, exclusive to Hunters, Titans and warlocks respectively.

To obtain one of these weapons, you must rank up your gunsmith to level 3.

After this, you will receive a quest Back in the saddle. Upon completion, the gunsmith will hand over the weapon

No time to explain (Pulse Rifle)

Aesthetically similar to the Stranger's Rifle, This weapon is obtained by carrying out a series of actions, starting in the heroic daily story mission Paradox. To start this quest, you will need to find a Cult Ghost By following the method explained in this video

https://youtu.be/Xt3SIO9aPHw

After this, You must pledge allegiance to the Future War Cult faction and hand the ghost over to their patron.

You must then gain 1000 reputation with them.

You will then need to kill a taken minotaur (These can be found in many of the story missions, also on Venus patrols) to recieve an item which needs to be brought back to the vendor.

It will then ask you to defeat Atheon in the Vault of Glass (This shouldn't be that hard, considering you should be well over the raid's level)

You will then receive an item from it which needs to be brought back again.

Next up, you will be given a quest which involves searching for a chest.

Your health will deplete while you are not standing in a poo; of light however.

The chest is located in the map's "C area"

Almost done! The final quest sends you on the Blood of the Garden quest, a special 290 Light Black Garden mission. Monsters spawn all over the place and you must kill these adversaries to keep the Anger Meter above 100. To make things trickier, you have to deal with a Groundskeeper (gate keeper).

After this mission, the vendor will give you the weapon.

Touch of malice (Scout Rifle)

Step 1: Receive Quest from Eris "Shattered past" telling you to collect "Calcified Fragments"

Step 2: Instead of collecting 5, collect 15 to receive "Hunger pangs" quest (Not sure if you can collect the 15 to get the alt quest after handing in only 5)

Step 3: You then get a mission to kill a centurion in the WAR-4 bunker

Step 4: You then need to start the king's fall raid and collect three items from the warpreist, deathsinger and oryx (You can not solo this raid, get more people) Then collect a bunch of hadium flakes, wormspore and weapon parts.

Step 5: Collect 30 calcified fragments after handing the items back to Eris (Not sure if 30 total or 30 more, Need clarification)

Step 6: Play undying mind strike, kill the knight boss

Step 7: Get 45 Calcified fragments (See above, need clarification)

Step 8: Play the next quest mission, before killing echo of oryx, a named wizard will spawn, kill it. (Much like In thorn bounty)

Step 9: Receive touch of malice from Eris.

I have completed the quest for the Dead Orbit Cloak so I'm going to guess that it's generally the same for all of them.

Step 1: get faction rank 25 to receive a quest

Step 2: Quest requires you to Kill pve enemies, pvp enemies, complete heroic strikes and win crucible matches while wearing your faction's emblem, shader and class item (You can buy the class item and emblem from the vendor, the shader is randomly obtained through rank-up packages from that faction.

Step 3: Speak to Faction vendor to receive class item

[Godot]

Isn't touch of malice an auto rifle? There also the swords, sleeper simulant and the Boodlean Gemini.

[Juniper]

Nope, it's a scout rifle.

Its perk is that it can fire without reloading at the cost of health so making it an auto rifle would be a bad idea x.x

I said I would add sleeper and swords later but I FORGOT THE GEMINI!

That's strange because it's the only one I actually have.

[Godot]

I have Sleeper Simulant, the Ace of Spades, the Boolean Gemini, and the Bolt Caster.

[Maelstrom]

I have the mission pistol for the first curse. I though it was get 7 separate killing/weapon sprees with it. I'll look at it again later to give the specific text.

The class specific specials for gunsmith rank 2 are worth mentioning.

[Juniper]

Well I read that it was a 7 kill spree which is made easier by the fact that it has triple tap but I haven't done it so.. o.o also it was just exotics but good point, should add them too.

I also remembered that I got dead orbit's exotic cloak, I figure it's the same for all classes/factions so I'll write those all up together
