There are lots of guides out there but I haven't come across one as detailed as yours. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Much appreciated!
If anyone still wants to complete this quest and are missing 1 or 2 bits from the cysts…. Triumphs/Pale Heart/Secrets. The bits are listed there so you can easily see which ones you’re missing 😊
I deeply appreciate your videos. They are down to earth, in common ordinary language, easy to understand, easy to follow, and for better than most of the creators. I don’t know why you don’t have a larger following. Every video you put out I watch. Blessings upon you.
I finally got it done after days struggling with the cysts section. First I want to thank ebontis for making this guide. Second I want to point out that I was stuck on the cysts piece for so long because I wasn’t understanding why the game wasn’t allowing me to switch the cysts missions at the bird in two locations. What I found , and sorry if it’s said in the video, but you must progress through the alone in darkness quest far enough that it makes you visit each of the different cyst locations. I had already redone them multiple times prior and found the cysts for those that allowed me. 3. Tbe game allows you to do the cysts repeatedly before even beginning most of the khvostov questline which makes it even more frustrating because you’ll end up redoing a lot of the same places and cysts quests. I don’t want to say it was frustrating but it’s one of the most frustrating questlines I’ve experienced beyond just collecting those materials in d1 for the exotic swords lol.
Thanks for the tip, you’d think they’d give you credit for the ones you’ve already done - I’ve already done a couple so will stop and do them when I do this.
I am at the cyst part. I never realized the cyst nodes have to be discovered and unlocked. Some of the cysts are kind of annoying. Like the sword one. I had to do it three times because I kept getting disoriented and if you go to the end you lose the hive sword so you can’t open that one section to get the cyst. I have three left. And I’m sure I’ll get stuck on finding that last boss.
I also realized from the video it’s 9 bosses. Not sure why I thought I just had to kill 3 of them. I’ve yet to see the meatball. The irony that the meatball causes when this was the same boss that caused people grief back during forsaken for the thorn quest via gambit. That boss is cursed.
Watched many guides but this one got me the Khovstov Exotic and it is worth it. Love this gun. As a causal player, it took me a week of grinding to finally get it. There is a glitch where the last boss on the Blooming doesn't drop and I found after three attempts was to go to orbit and redo it. It's a pain but worth it believe me. Racked up close to 1,800 kills in a few days. I don't take it off. It just works so well. If you do the grind and at the chest to finally get the exotic version but doesn't seem to open, just slowly go around the chest until you see the option to open. Was on the left side of the chest for me. I almost broke my controller before I figured it out. LOL!!
Thank you sir for having a simple yet descriptive guide. Without this I would've spent several hours bashing my head against every part of the Traveler trying to get it all done.
This has to be the longest most drawn out quest Bungie has ever done. All I can emphasise is BEFORE you leave that Boss area make sure you get that hidden key. Go into your triumphs, the pale and then secrets and track one man’s trash. Now you won’t miss the key and have to rerun an area bc you gave up and left. Some areas the key is not in the exact location but it’s indeed in that general area at the very least. As always another wonderful guide from Mr Ebontis can’t say I’d still be playing Destiny without his guides.
With all these new quests from new dlc I've had to search many times on UA-cam for help. Your UA-cam's are sobheloful and detailed. Many times I watch UA-cam and end up with more questions than answers but ebontis explains it so well I'm not left more lost than b4 watching. Thank you for such an excellent job explaining everything ❤
Thank you very much for this guide. I've been working on this quest for the last three days due to having work and I don't think I would have been able to finish it without the help of your video 🙏 I've looked at a lot of guides and yours is by far the most detailed and easiest to follow.
Just PSA: Don't do it in one day you will be frustrated, if you tired, stop playing, focus on one task at the time, very easy to distract to do all in one in the area but if you can you can, if can't don't push it, game should be fun but "Bungie" apparently know how to piss off the player and their employee (by firing them). This is the best guide and not annoying, thank you Ebontis.
And another awesome guide to help us old people find our way around. Thank you, Ebontis for your time making these for us. I know the wife and I really get a lot out of them.
Hands down the best guide on how to get the khvostov...... thanks a bunch......it took me 3 days of grinding, for some reason some of the cyst weren't showing up but finally got it today......
E! What a grind. Finally finished it all, I was in your guide constantly, over and over again. Thanks again for all of your efforts! Had trouble getting the chest to open in the end. I had everything! Had to return to the room twice and play with positioning. It would finally open, but ONLY by approaching the left side. Crazy...
FOR ANYONE STUCK WITH/AT 16 MOTES OF LIGHT! I read a few people posting about putting these in your Vault, then running the Overthrow in the Blooming to have the Taken Meatball spawn in again once you beat the Tier 3 overthrow.. Well, i JUST did this, and it worked like a charm! Got the 16th mote, put them in my Vault, ran to the Blooming, ran overthrow until the final Taken Meatball spawned in, beat it, and then it dropped the "Mote of Primordial Light". It does not drop out from the chest, like where the Engrams and Ergo Sum word and Glimmer do, it auto drops to you. Best of luck Guardians! 😎👍
My exotic mote dropped from boss in impasse and not the meatball. I think it has everything to do with the order you defeat the bosses in each region. I was in same situation where I had 16 motes and kept redoing overthrow in Blooming hoping the meatball would spawn because everyone saying the exotic mote has to drop from the meatball. Someone suggested I look at the WASTELAND WARRIOR triumph and check to see if I defeated each boss in each region. I had defeated all but one boss in impasse. So I defeat him thinking I’d have to go back to blooming and defeat the meatball…. But nope, Boss at impasse dropped the exotic mote I needed.
All required Triumphs completed. All 9 bosses slain. All Motes (16) recovered. Meatball slain. nada. Just did another in The Landing. Nada. There is obviously a glitch...maybe it might get fixed in the upcoming update. Anyhoo, this is an excellent guide vid by Ebontis, as ever! GGs++ ...a lot of editing went into this one! Cheers!
@K2shadowfax go put those 16 motes in your vault and head back to the Blooming . Run Overthrow until that Taken Meatball spawns. After you beat the meatball, it should drop for you. This is exactly what I did to get it to finally drop. It does not drop from the chest, it auto drops to your character. I wish you luck!
On the slim chance anyone sees this comment, the Chest has a 'semi-bug'' and it won't open UNLESS you go to it's Left Side (Left side when looking out to the open sky) So only on 1 of the 4 sides will the chest actually show the '/interact' icon.
Thank you so much Ebontis. I am a way too silent watcher and not so much a supporter with every comment under every video, that's sad, because you helped me a lot in Destiny with your videos. And therefore I would thank you from the bottom of my heart. Always appreciate your informative and good videos. You are so underrated, for sure. Happy greetings from Berlin (Germany) and keep up the great work. I will do my best and will more often comment on your videos. Either a simple "Hi Ebontis" or a longer one to support you more from my side. Have a good one Legend. 🇩🇪🙋🏼♂️
Thank you for showing the path to each regional chest. I watched another video and they skipped over most of that - it was a total waste of time. This guide is so much better.
I just finished this quest, and yes it’s very exhausting. Thank God for Ebontis The Legend making it easier for us. Without this guide, Im clueless. THANK YOU Ebontis for making this guide. You are the Man, The Myth, The Legend. 🙏
Good, helpful video. I did get stuck with only 16 motes, but I watched another video that said put them in the vault, play Overthrow in Blooming until Meatball appears as level 4 boss. It's not guaranteed, but it did work for me.
Thanks for helping me get the campaign last week. I'm catching up to get these exotics, but there's so many things to do that I'm kinda lost with things. Bungie made sure you have plenty to do for a long while!
In regards to the cistern missions. I would have the same 3 appear on my map,but when I'm actually running on the map there's another bird offering a different one. Make sure to do those also.
For those stuck with 16 motes: if you’re 100% sure that your missing one is from Koftiks, as others said, place your 16 motes in vault, go spawn him again AND make sure you’re directly UNDER him when he is dying. I got stuck here also, had to kill him 3 times, first I went back to tower after no mote, third time I waited from the second time for OT to spawn again, but the trick was to place myself under him as he was exploding. Hope this helps and GL.
Like a lot of players, I have only 16 motes of lights, even though the triumphs show that I've found all the chests and defeated all the bosses. Some on reddit are suggesting it's Koftiks (the taken sentinel boss), though returned to the game, is still bugged, and needs to be replayed. I tried that, but I still didn't get the mote. Someone else suggested vaulting the 16 motes, then fighting the meatball. That didn't work for me either. Someone else suggested replaying all the bosses, saying that the triumphs info is also bugged. But that's problematic, as they spawn at random. Also, having to replay them all is a PITA, especially since there's no guarantee it'll work. And this exotic mission is already too long and tedious. Also, you have to play each level until whatever boss randomly shows up. Bungie needs to either fix the triumph/boss bug, or just gift players having this issue a mote. And before any D2 cultist/apologist complains: No, I'm not looking for, asking for or expecting a handout. But players shouldn't have to replay the fights, just because of bugs in the game. BTW, I'd be content with the devs simply fixing the triumph info, so I'd at least know what boss I had to refight. Bungie should compensate us; we shouldn't have to accommodate them.
@@NahtsWorld A lot of players online are reporting having the same issue. I was going to post it on Bungie's forum, but too many people there get really triggered, nasty and insulting anytime anyone posts anything they consider in the least bit critical of Bungie or Destiny 2. The hell with freedom of expression and personal opinion. I learned the hard way to avoid like the plague posting on the forums.
I had this same issue. Here's the fix that worked for me. Store your motes in your vault and then go beat the meatball. It should drop the exotic mote.
You really are the best at these guides!!! I absolutely love how you take the time to explain and help us!! YOU are a community regional treasure chest😆
Agree on prior quality comments, great vid, ty. If your first time through, make sure you break the debris in that final stage BEFORE you lose the sword. I finished it, hadn't gone through the last section, had ditched the hive sword and couldn't resummon. Had to restart (didn't need to complete, just through first room) ;(
Mate, thank you for making something so indepth easy to follow and to understand. Appreciate all your time and effort in making this less painful. Subscribed!
Thank you so much because you explained everything in detail and I was able to locate all of them and I only had one I couldn't find and never would have guessed it was under a cave floor after the boss fight in the purple cave.
THANK YOU E. after watching your vid i have finally found the one cyst bit i had been missing. (smothering darkness). i had been checking the wrong purple light and you made this clear on this post.
Amazing guide this quest I found confusing but I got the legendary khostov thanks to your guide ebontis thankyou very informative, I will do exotic version but I need to enjoy this one for now again thankyou
So I did most of the cyst parts and didn't even realize you had to collect the bits.... I found a couple.... is it possible to go back and collect them or do you have to do the bosses again?
Great guide but according to my lost in the dark quests I have 6/6 cysts opened. But for the life of me I don’t see aerial ace one. Every time I go to the bird it just takes me to another in darkness cyst I know for a fact I’ve seen it on my map but I can’t seem to get into it?? Ignore above, I managed to get it activated. But yeh got my exotic and this mission is exhausting as hell but it’s done. Thanks Ebontis for the great guide. Made it very simple to understand.
Good guide. Would say it were great if you had said you need to get the encryption bits as you clear each Cyst. Just finished them all to catch up to you and now I find out I have to go back and do them all again.
Sounds like fun though too. Me and my friends have had nothing but fun so far. I love all the secrets and secret quests. Reminds us along of Destiny 1. Good job Bungie!
That sounds more like a chore instead of a quest. Damn is the gun really worth going thru all that. I appreciate your guide E and I mean no disrespect to you. But is the khovostov really good or is it just mid .
Thanks for your support…I find your tutorials to be concise and easy to understand, however I followed your guide for the exotic version of this auto rifle, and somehow I only have a total of 16 notes of light….can,t figure out how or why I am I am coming up short🥺
Whenever a tutorial is almost half an hour for a quest in a game it’s going to translate to multiple hours/ play sessions for me it’s crazy how much people will go through for 1 item on this game
I need only one more thing to get both the legendary and exotic Khvostov, and that is the Lost Encryption Bit from the Searing Light. I have run solo and with a fire team, I have run the cyst and the inverted cyst. I have completed it in under four minutes. And as yet, I cannot see the rubble pile to complete. What might I be doing wrong? BTW, you have some of the absolute best videos on these subjects, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video Ebontis, you are my go to for guide content (and soloing missions). Just grabbed the legendary version, and have the 9 motes from the overthrows. Almost there
I had the legendary rifle and the final mote of light but the golden chest still wouldn't open. I figured out you need a primary slot open but also the legendary version of the rifle needs to be unlocked for dismantling even though you don't dismantle it. Confusing. Then I was able to open the golden chest. Thanks for the guide!
Thank you for all your help. To get this gun I had to uninstall and reinstall destiny 2. I think it was bugged. Your tutorial made it a bit easier. Bless you.
I appreciate your time and effort in making content for us. This was an arduous experience for me. After watching your video I was able to complete the task. Thank you.
Hey EBontis much appreciated guide, clear and on point, but one question any suggestions on not founding the last mini traveler at 26:32, followed all steps started the hunt with 9 from bosses, but that last one just wasn't there, now I only have 16. P.S. It was the Meatball boss and I got the gun Thank you so much for the guide E.
For the people that can’t get the smokering darkness cyst to show up: finish your in the darkness quest but dont grab a new one, it should show the bird to change the cyst type then
Awesome guide! Bungo is super slimy for just making you replay activities over and over... just to get something new. They already recycled and reskinned areas. The grind gets worse and more expensive with each "expansion"
The lost encryption bits are not always in that location. Mine Slayer Cyst encryption bit was in a cave close to one of the crystals you have to destroy. I believe it may be relative to where the big boss is killed
Someone else commented that the Taken Servitor boss is buggy. If you put your motes in your vault and do the meatball boss again, he should drop the mote you're missing
The Taken Servitor, the last boss fight in the Blooming, is buggy. I found that exiting to orbit and replaying the entire deal of killing all the bosses again to get to the meatball worked. Only had to do it three times. Many are saying to store your motes in your vault and making another attempt. Good luck, hope you get because it is worth it! No joke. The exotic is really that good. They better not nerf down the road either.
Another amazing video from you, been watching your guides for a long time. And been studying your legendary campaign guide for TFS, still stuck on Iconoclasm 3rd encounter but I'll get there 🤣🤣🤣
What can I say, Incredible amount of work you have done here and VERY well put together, Thank you very much for this! I had much of it myself, but was really great to finish off the elusive parts :) Good Hunting, Kar
There is a glitch where the last boss "big spaghetti ball" on the Blooming doesn't drop and I found after three attempts was to go to orbit and redo it. It's a pain but worth it believe me. Read last week's Bungie news about it. Basically if doing these in all three sections doesn't drop, just go to orbit and reattempt.
The first person who figured this out deserves an award
There are lots of guides out there but I haven't come across one as detailed as yours. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Much appreciated!
Yeah, man, I just said the same thing.....definitely got me through the quest
If anyone still wants to complete this quest and are missing 1 or 2 bits from the cysts….
Triumphs/Pale Heart/Secrets.
The bits are listed there so you can easily see which ones you’re missing 😊
you deserve more upvotes, helpful tips like this are the best.
@@gorknox6189 thanks! Happy to help out
You're one of the very best at showing and explaining everything. Most people skip key transitions.
I deeply appreciate your videos. They are down to earth, in common ordinary language, easy to understand, easy to follow, and for better than most of the creators. I don’t know why you don’t have a larger following. Every video you put out I watch. Blessings upon you.

The fuckin 12 cysts made me wanna off my self lol I did them for the ship tho I didn't know about this gun
I've watched a lot of guides for D2 but none that has ever compelled me to comment. Excellent guide, very well done and detailed. Thank you.
OMG ..... Your guide was so comprehensive.. . Better than a lot of the other people who rushed theres out... Truly thank you very much!!!

Yea a 30 mins walk through is a lot but thank you E
It definitely is
I'm finally at the end, and I'm angry at a gun 😂 it should shoot itself at this point
I also realized from the video it’s 9 bosses. Not sure why I thought I just had to kill 3 of them. I’ve yet to see the meatball. The irony that the meatball causes when this was the same boss that caused people grief back during forsaken for the thorn quest via gambit. That boss is cursed.
Grade A guide. I was stuck at 15 motes of light for a while until I watched this. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the quick guide. I've seen most around 35-45 min long. This really cut down my time, again thanks and continued success with your channel.

I just got around to taking care of this quest. As always, your guides are simple to follow! Thanks!!!
You really are the best at these guides!!! I absolutely love how you take the time to explain and help us!! YOU are a community regional treasure chest😆
Agree on prior quality comments, great vid, ty.
If your first time through, make sure you break the debris in that final stage BEFORE you lose the sword. I finished it, hadn't gone through the last section, had ditched the hive sword and couldn't resummon. Had to restart (didn't need to complete, just through first room) ;(
can you do the motes of light and the chests at the same time so you can save on time? this is a great walkthrough. great work!
Brotha this was the best quest guide out there!! Yours usually are. Your shattered throne guide was epic!! Keep them coming bro.
What a grind that was, but I finally got mine!
I could never have done this without your guide. Thanks a ton!
Thank you for this easy to follow guide! Ive found alot of this on my own but was stuck on several things that you made easy to find!
Thanks for making the video. Never would have known how to get it without it.
Glad I could help
Mate, thank you for making something so indepth easy to follow and to understand. Appreciate all your time and effort in making this less painful. Subscribed!
Great guide as always. Found you when the witch Queen dropped and still my go to guy for Great guides in general thanks
Thank you so much because you explained everything in detail and I was able to locate all of them and I only had one I couldn't find and never would have guessed it was under a cave floor after the boss fight in the purple cave.
there are no timestamps, butt i watched all of it regardless epic job
Thanks very much I thought I got timestamps but maybe they didn’t take. I’ll check on that.
timestamps are in the description...
thank you for the guide. me and a buddy followed each step. you made it less daunting.
THANK YOU E. after watching your vid i have finally found the one cyst bit i had been missing. (smothering darkness). i had been checking the wrong purple light and you made this clear on this post.
Amazing guide this quest I found confusing but I got the legendary khostov thanks to your guide ebontis thankyou very informative, I will do exotic version but I need to enjoy this one for now again thankyou
So I did most of the cyst parts and didn't even realize you had to collect the bits.... I found a couple.... is it possible to go back and collect them or do you have to do the bosses again?
Any update because I did this too and didn’t know about bits after defeating bosses
Great guide but according to my lost in the dark quests I have 6/6 cysts opened. But for the life of me I don’t see aerial ace one. Every time I go to the bird it just takes me to another in darkness cyst I know for a fact I’ve seen it on my map but I can’t seem to get into it??
Ignore above, I managed to get it activated. But yeh got my exotic and this mission is exhausting as hell but it’s done.
Thanks Ebontis for the great guide. Made it very simple to understand.
Thank you very much. I will use this guide when I have the time 👍🏻
Best guide for this quest I've watched so far. Thank you!
Good guide. Would say it were great if you had said you need to get the encryption bits as you clear each Cyst. Just finished them all to catch up to you and now I find out I have to go back and do them all again.
Sounds like fun though too. Me and my friends have had nothing but fun so far. I love all the secrets and secret quests. Reminds us along of Destiny 1. Good job Bungie!
That sounds more like a chore instead of a quest. Damn is the gun really worth going thru all that. I appreciate your guide E and I mean no disrespect to you. But is the khovostov really good or is it just mid .
Thanks for your support…I find your tutorials to be concise and easy to understand, however I followed your guide for the exotic version of this auto rifle, and somehow I only have a total of 16 notes of light….can,t figure out how or why I am I am coming up short🥺
Whenever a tutorial is almost half an hour for a quest in a game it’s going to translate to multiple hours/ play sessions for me it’s crazy how much people will go through for 1 item on this game
I need only one more thing to get both the legendary and exotic Khvostov, and that is the Lost Encryption Bit from the Searing Light. I have run solo and with a fire team, I have run the cyst and the inverted cyst. I have completed it in under four minutes. And as yet, I cannot see the rubble pile to complete. What might I be doing wrong?
BTW, you have some of the absolute best videos on these subjects, keep up the good work!
Best guide around, thanks Cheetah!
Wow it’s just as long as alone in the dark quests I really appreciate this video 🥰🥰
Thanks for the video Ebontis, you are my go to for guide content (and soloing missions). Just grabbed the legendary version, and have the 9 motes from the overthrows. Almost there
Really appreciate the details for this, so much easier than most!
I had the legendary rifle and the final mote of light but the golden chest still wouldn't open. I figured out you need a primary slot open but also the legendary version of the rifle needs to be unlocked for dismantling even though you don't dismantle it. Confusing. Then I was able to open the golden chest. Thanks for the guide!
Great guide. I appreciate you taking the time to make it step by step👍
Thank you for all your help. To get this gun I had to uninstall and reinstall destiny 2. I think it was bugged. Your tutorial made it a bit easier. Bless you.
This guide was perfection, easy to follow and well explained. Thank you.
Thanks a ton bro! I was stuck there for a minute wondering how to get this gun...🤟
I appreciate your time and effort in making content for us. This was an arduous experience for me. After watching your video I was able to complete the task. Thank you.
Hey EBontis much appreciated guide, clear and on point, but one question any suggestions on not founding the last mini traveler at 26:32, followed all steps started the hunt with 9 from bosses, but that last one just wasn't there, now I only have 16.
P.S. It was the Meatball boss and I got the gun Thank you so much for the guide E.
You continue to be the best Destiny UA-camr.
Thanks for making this painless finally got it done thanks
Great guide! No filler and really clear 🎉
Great video, after 2 days of slogging i have my Exotic!
Thanks!!
Absolutely brilliant! Exceptionally well done guide. Perfect. Thank you so much. Will be using you for any future guides if you have them out!
Thank you for such a Detailed walkthrough (all the others seem to rush through there’s) 👍
thanks for all the help man, besides the meatball issue the guide worked perfect for me!
Thanks for this, well made guide. Cheers from up North Canada!
THANK YOU. No way would have found on my own. Your work is appreciated.
For the people that can’t get the smokering darkness cyst to show up: finish your in the darkness quest but dont grab a new one, it should show the bird to change the cyst type then
Awesome guide! Bungo is super slimy for just making you replay activities over and over... just to get something new. They already recycled and reskinned areas. The grind gets worse and more expensive with each "expansion"
I did everything in the guide and when I completed it I only have 16 Motes of light would you have any idea why because I did everything in the guide
The lost encryption bits are not always in that location. Mine Slayer Cyst encryption bit was in a cave close to one of the crystals you have to destroy. I believe it may be relative to where the big boss is killed
Yes thank u sir for being so patient and understanding. I found everything thanks to ur videos, so thank you!!
I’ve only got 16 motes but I’ve beat all the bosses and got all the mini travelers
Someone else commented that the Taken Servitor boss is buggy. If you put your motes in your vault and do the meatball boss again, he should drop the mote you're missing
The Taken Servitor, the last boss fight in the Blooming, is buggy. I found that exiting to orbit and replaying the entire deal of killing all the bosses again to get to the meatball worked. Only had to do it three times. Many are saying to store your motes in your vault and making another attempt. Good luck, hope you get because it is worth it! No joke. The exotic is really that good. They better not nerf down the road either.
You really are the best teacher Guardian! Thank you
Is a really long quest but we'll explain.. thanks finally finish this quest
Thank you! I had a wonderful play session chasing this😊
just for info, if you complete cyst sword dance before destroying the debre/barrier, you cant get to the lost encryption bit
I just finished the 9 bosses step and I’ve got the three triumphs for each zone but I only have 8 motes of light in my inventory. Is there a glitch?
Another amazing video from you, been watching your guides for a long time. And been studying your legendary campaign guide for TFS, still stuck on Iconoclasm 3rd encounter but I'll get there 🤣🤣🤣
What can I say, Incredible amount of work you have done here and VERY well put together, Thank you very much for this!
I had much of it myself, but was really great to finish off the elusive parts :)
Good Hunting,
Kar
Great video, just got TFS since it was on offer
The annoying part about this quest for me is I have 16 volts and I'm stuck on that and it says I defeated all the bosses. What do I do about that?
Same
There is a glitch where the last boss "big spaghetti ball" on the Blooming doesn't drop and I found after three attempts was to go to orbit and redo it. It's a pain but worth it believe me. Read last week's Bungie news about it. Basically if doing these in all three sections doesn't drop, just go to orbit and reattempt.
@@mojomanmurph1925 thanks. This is where I was stuck. Took 3 runs as well
