What Does the Curio of the Nine Do in Destiny 2?

Destiny 2's "Heresy" Episode introduces a mysterious item: the Curio of the Nine. This enigmatic token, described as bearing "markings of the Nine," has left players puzzled about its function. The Nine themselves remain secretive, their message simply stating, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"

Can You Discard the Curio?

While you can delete the Curio of the Nine from your inventory, the game strongly advises against it. The item's description warns that discarding it is permanent; it cannot be reacquired. Given the Nine's powerful and enigmatic nature within Destiny 2 lore, this is a risk most players will likely choose not to take.

Heresy's Duration and the Curio's Fate

Destiny 2 Episodes typically consist of three Acts, each lasting several weeks. Considering "Heresy" launched February 4th, 2025, its conclusion is anticipated sometime in the summer or possibly early fall of 2025, though an official end date is yet to be announced. The Curio's purpose will likely be revealed before the episode concludes.

In short, the Curio of the Nine currently serves as a lore teaser, a mysterious artifact hinting at future developments within the Heresy storyline. Keep it for now; its significance will likely unfold as the episode progresses.
