Word of Crota + Void Devil's Dawn got me through this. I tried Atheon's Epilogue, but Word of Crota was a lot easier to use. Hammer Forged really helps with that Archetypes range. Thanks for the guide Datto, but unfortunately I had already got this one done.
HOPE THIS HELPS! My own impromptu review of the gun: I like the feel of the weapon. It sounds satisfying when firing it and the poison, though not as powerful anymore, can intimidate people with the green screen of panic and halts recovery for a few seconds (every second counts in a firefight). Thorn is pretty good if you use your surroundings, have good map knowledge, and pick your fights. If you get caught in 2v1 situations in 6v6 games, duck out of there once one of them is defeated or shoot them both if you get the drop on them or use abilities to distract them. Went 12-0 during a game of control with it. I actually recommend Aggressive Ballistics and Sent it, despite the clip to its range Bungie implemented. You just need to use it at Hand Cannons' optimal ranges (i.e. Eyasluna). The impact to headshots is brought up to 81 when in the optimal range in my experience with the weapon.
I'm so glad the last step is just opening a horde chest. In year 1 when lfg was still really new and I had no one to play with, I had to solo the strike to kill Xyor, the Unwed which made me cry every night when I kept failing it
The exact number of void crucible kills needed is 125. If you go into an app that feeds from the API (easiest is the Destiny app), percentage quests are listed there as clear numbers, for some reason. It was that way with the Chaperone quest as well. In the case of Y3 Thorn, you can see exactly how many void kills you have out of 125 if you click on the quest in the app.
That wasn't hard, that took a long time and was frustrating, thorn have their voids kill in crucible, at first not a big problem but if you or the one who was trying was bad at crucible it would take forever as deaths set you back. I have friends that only got their Thorn, even though they already had the bounty, by the green exotic engram at the start of year 2
I remember soloing the Thorn quest in year 1. The last part is painfully etched inside my brain because it took me 3-4 hours just to solo to final part of the strike, it was so hard/ frustrating it gave me such a bad headache. But it was worth it though, that gun was a savage back then haha.
No, they need their stupid f*cking accuracy cone removed. WE HAVE A RANGE STAT FOR A REASON. Why is this so hard to understand. I keep seeing people say "buff the range", when removing the accuracy cone nonsense is such a better buff. Why punish players for even being able to track people at range with this gun with missed bullets when the damage drop off is much more than enough to make people never attempt it?
Maduxx Oney it's always been that way. In year 1 there were 3 or 4 exotic quests you had to bounties to maybe get a chance to start the quest. And even then you only got to choose 1 of the 3 quests
Someone may have already commented and stated it, but I saw another video and basically it said, fill up all your bounties, to include the 4 from Shiro. Get as many of them done as you can and obviously the 4 from Shiro. Then spam turn in the bounties which I did saving the 4 for last. I haven't gotten the Thorn bounty till this week when I did this little method and it popped.
IMO i dont think it is, if somebody has the artifact that reduces DOT you're pretty screwed. I also noticed that there are ghost bullets occurring with the Y3 thorn.
Don't fucking use the Thorn thats it, it was good in Y1 but now its just not good its now decent, they only brought it back for the Y1 players not to have annoying statistics of a lot of usage of Thorn again
If you're on the crucible part and mayhem is an available playlist, go in there with a void shotty and subclass. I got it done after about 4 games, totaling around 30 minutes.
Yeah I got the Thorn quest yesterday on my Titan (I main Hunter). For the void kills in crucible I just used my Word of Crota, void shotgun, and Truth. It took me about 10+ control matches to get it done. I got about 14 kills on average per game and 14 kills for me got me at 11% done. The rest of the quest is easy.
I used The Messenger (Adept) year 1 flawless trials pulse rifle for the void kills and it 2 bursted people (did 34 and sometimes 36 damage to the head) I was pleasantly surprised. Thought they got rid of all 2 burst pulses in some patch a while back but it was awesome :D
Thorn was my first exotic in Year 1, and I'm really glad to have it back. Seriously, it needs a buff. It's usable for me because I got really good with it but I really can't say the same for other people.
***** I know, but for most people it may not be usable at all. And, yeah, I know about the DoT thing, but that's already been nerfed pretty heavily as it is. Not to mention the artifact that lowers it ever further
for the fallen part , what i would actually suggest is go do strikes so u can also get your skeleton key u need later , i did this and it worked really well
Im 385 light bud... I play Destiny. Do you even know how to count? He added together all the bounties on all characters. Each bounty turned in is another chance to get the thorn bounty. I'm sorry you were too stupid for me to have to explain everything. I'm not going to sit here arguing with another keyboard warrior.
Zaknafein, you're stupid or you didn't pay attention to what was being said before you attacked him. You cant give your complete bounties from one character to another. In Datto's video he had more than 4 of the bounties in his inventory at once. Don't jump on people before you even know whats being said/asked.
i deleted my atheons epilogue. Used word of crota for a second. That was horrible. Thank god i had a void adept scholar from y1 trials. That helped a lot.
atheon was rough in the cruicble! i would even waste the mag down to 30 to get GHF. i ended up switching to word of crota and found that working better for me.
Thorn is actually still quite decent. I got mine last night and first game got a 4.2kd. Although the DoT damage is pretty much dead it is still very viable.
If you're like me and mediocre in the Crucible and struggle to get kills with your special, getting those Void kills doesn't need to be super painful. Use a Void sidearm. Unlike the other special weapons you'll respawn with a supply of ammo so no need to go chasing those ammo crates. It's still a big grind, but a few hours of Iron Banner and I got the step done thanks to the sidearm. If you don't have a Void sidearm, you can buy the Teacup Tempest from the Vanguard Quartermaster.
You can tear through the fallen kills step if you farm out the first part of the raid. Costs no offerings, volt absorbers are worth 4 percent, and consistent spawning of ads
I did not have Atheons Epilogue but did have Word of Crota and it felt very solid for the Void Kills. If I remember right you can 3 tap someone down with all headshots.
Took about 20 bounties before I got it. I was half way through the void kills on my Titan, started playing on my hunter a bit, and I got another one after a few more bounties
It is exactly 130 void kills in crucible. I ran a voidwalker warlock, Atheons Ep, telesto, and corrective measure. Everything was void, no way a kill couldnt be. Mayhem Rumble was on rotation the week I did it, so it was super easy. I kept track of all my kills post game, and when all was said and done, that part completed at the exactly 130 kills.
Also anyone who doesn't get it from the chest, look on the ground, for sometimes it will drop on the ground as an exotic engram instead of going into your inventory :3
I did my Thorn quest yesterday, and I think majors may be worth more for the kill Fallen part. It seemed like I went through it much faster than my friend doing it at the same time, as I was taking down majors as soon as I saw them.
It's 125 kills in the Crucible, the in game quest step shows percentage, but the Destiny app shows the amount of kills you need. So you weren't wrong, but 125 is the specific number.
Hey, for the fallen kills quest step fallen majors are worth 5% of the bounty each. For the crucible portion, I wrecked people with Atheon's Epilogue, especially hand cannon users. I just figured their aim was thrown off too much by the heavy stream of bullets. Word of Crota was trash. Took me 7 or 8 games of supremacy as a voidwalker.
I was struggling since all I had was a shotgun that wasn't very good with Void on it for Crucible. But thankfully I picked up a Matador 64 around the 85% that got me two awesome games and finished that off quickly for me. Recoil sucks but it was fantastic with a shield titan
I suggest using Word of Crota some void shotgun and void machine gun, that's what I used and it took me around 5 matches to get the bounty done. I'm a 1 KD flat player.
Already got the gun but I just like to watch Datto's guides :D
darkovilos same
same
darkovilos same
help me through it
darkovilos yeah but I haven't gotten it yet
Word of Crota + Void Devil's Dawn got me through this.
I tried Atheon's Epilogue, but Word of Crota was a lot easier to use. Hammer Forged really helps with that Archetypes range.
Thanks for the guide Datto, but unfortunately I had already got this one done.
Remember when we we had to kill Xyor? Ah the days!
Nostalgia Attack!!! That mission itself was SOOO difficult especially being a solo player.
ikr!
6 hours one Saturday.....
It was my first exotic. it took me like 2 hours with two other level 27's. fun times
did it solo
HOPE THIS HELPS! My own impromptu review of the gun: I like the feel of the weapon.

Seeing comments on here that day "2 years ago" really hurts a bit...
FNecro It’s weird to think people will see our comments in the same way in the future.
@@batmanarkhamcentral3149 true
Try 3 years ago
@@batmanarkhamcentral3149 yup
3 years man shits crazy
I'm so glad the last step is just opening a horde chest. In year 1 when lfg was still really new and I had no one to play with, I had to solo the strike to kill Xyor, the Unwed which made me cry every night when I kept failing it

Never thought I'd ever say this but Thorn needs a small buff it's just shit man
low key agreed
Roberto Cortes agreed
lies
Small Buff?? Lmao We need good primarys back we need two taps and special ammo ad shotgun range y1 destiny so fun but y2 just eh
+Ethan Risden fuck that if u want that go play cod
No joke this took me 4 years
Super helpful I always wanted the gun and you basically gave it to me :)
"because of fun this is fun"
Datto 2016
I picked up thorn on Sunday. this video really helped thanks datto!!!
Atheons epilogue was so much fun
huge FAN shock it took u 3 weeks to drop, excellent videos keep going
Took me 2 bountys lol my mates were pissed
still don't have it and I've turned in like 33
took me 6
Enraged Gamer 2 as well haha
Enraged Gamer same
Enraged Gamer i feel like you either get it in your first few, or the last few hundred.
Thank you for posting this I got just finished it and I love thorn you explained very will thank you again keep up the good work.
I thought thorn was so much easier in year 1. say easier than 25 fucking strikes for bad juju
*way
That wasn't hard, that took a long time and was frustrating, thorn have their voids kill in crucible, at first not a big problem but if you or the one who was trying was bad at crucible it would take forever as deaths set you back. I have friends that only got their Thorn, even though they already had the bounty, by the green exotic engram at the start of year 2
And only 1 void primary at the time
I use my Hunter to I know how you feel
Carter Kapele bad juju was easy to me lol
I remember soloing the Thorn quest in year 1. The last part is painfully etched inside my brain because it took me 3-4 hours just to solo to final part of the strike, it was so hard/ frustrating it gave me such a bad headache.
But it was worth it though, that gun was a savage back then haha.
Hawkmoon and Thorn need a range buff
No, they need their stupid f*cking accuracy cone removed. WE HAVE A RANGE STAT FOR A REASON. Why is this so hard to understand. I keep seeing people say "buff the range", when removing the accuracy cone nonsense is such a better buff. Why punish players for even being able to track people at range with this gun with missed bullets when the damage drop off is much more than enough to make people never attempt it?
David Bruder this
David Bruder people say it because the range stat is complete and utter shit in this game .
Yeah and Warlock melees lol
Warlock melees have longer range than most of the guns.
I love your videos man. I am a numbers kind of guy so keep up the good work. I can't wait till you come out with a best gear for raid video.
They need to put in a new way to get the Thorn quest. I have done nearly 35 bounties now and still haven't gotten it
BettyBoo42 same
BettyBoo42 that means you're just unlucky
Maduxx Oney it's always been that way. In year 1 there were 3 or 4 exotic quests you had to bounties to maybe get a chance to start the quest. And even then you only got to choose 1 of the 3 quests
Yeah, but in year 1 you could do 10 bounties a day to get a chance to get the weapon. Now you only have about 4 opportunities per day.
Derek Lund yes but it still took some people forever
Someone may have already commented and stated it, but I saw another video and basically it said, fill up all your bounties, to include the 4 from Shiro. Get as many of them done as you can and obviously the 4 from Shiro. Then spam turn in the bounties which I did saving the 4 for last. I haven't gotten the Thorn bounty till this week when I did this little method and it popped.
Needs to be buffed, compared to year 1 thorn this is a pile of trash.
IMO i dont think it is, if somebody has the artifact that reduces DOT you're pretty screwed. I also noticed that there are ghost bullets occurring with the Y3 thorn.
WanBoy 421 ghost bullets affect all hand cannons
pfcchaidez Not all handcannons. It rarely effects Lingering Song. It has so much range plus rangefinder.
Don't fucking use the Thorn thats it, it was good in Y1 but now its just not good its now decent, they only brought it back for the Y1 players not to have annoying statistics of a lot of usage of Thorn again
Obviously it's going to be worse than it was in year one. The weapon was completely broken after it got buffed.
I JUST GOT IT
I AM SO HAPPY
Datto what's your favorite weapon in rise of iron you have right now?
lol
what
Probably the Destiny one.
StretchRaptor6 lmao
dude, what?
I got the thorn with your strategy. Thank you
I got the jagged purpose on my second quest
If you're on the crucible part and mayhem is an available playlist, go in there with a void shotty and subclass. I got it done after about 4 games, totaling around 30 minutes.
5 characters and 48 bountys, still no thorn
Jake Johnston 5 characters? Wait on different accounts
no deleted and made more
Jake Johnston How do you even have that amount of time on your hands???
Flametype really? , im sorry what is it that you do? im a broadband distribution specialist
Jake Johnston Which brings even more confusion. How the *FUCK* do you have that much time for Destiny.
Yeah I got the Thorn quest yesterday on my Titan (I main Hunter). For the void kills in crucible I just used my Word of Crota, void shotgun, and Truth. It took me about 10+ control matches to get it done. I got about 14 kills on average per game and 14 kills for me got me at 11% done. The rest of the quest is easy.
Anyone back after grinding out D2's quest?
I’m here
I used The Messenger (Adept) year 1 flawless trials pulse rifle for the void kills and it 2 bursted people (did 34 and sometimes 36 damage to the head) I was pleasantly surprised. Thought they got rid of all 2 burst pulses in some patch a while back but it was awesome :D
I survived getting Thorned by two people the other day. Its very underwhelming in PVP at the moment. Good, though.
Got it today :) that's why I came back to this vid
Rip people like me that will never be able to get it because crucible is dead in destiny 1
i still play D1 and you're right, very hard to get lobbies with anyone
Thorn was my first exotic in Year 1, and I'm really glad to have it back. Seriously, it needs a buff. It's usable for me because I got really good with it but I really can't say the same for other people.
***** I know, but for most people it may not be usable at all. And, yeah, I know about the DoT thing, but that's already been nerfed pretty heavily as it is. Not to mention the artifact that lowers it ever further
we all know those 78 dislikers dont have the thorn
for the fallen part , what i would actually suggest is go do strikes so u can also get your skeleton key u need later , i did this and it worked really well
How does Datto have so many iron lord bounties at the same time? Can you transfer them or did he just save them up?
Darkened Silver Each character has 4 bounties
Zaknafein DuUrden that doesnt matter though, you don't share bounties. Do you even play destiny? lol
Im 385 light bud... I play Destiny. Do you even know how to count? He added together all the bounties on all characters. Each bounty turned in is another chance to get the thorn bounty. I'm sorry you were too stupid for me to have to explain everything. I'm not going to sit here arguing with another keyboard warrior.
Zaknafein DuUrden I'd explain to you how you're wrong. but after you throwing out that key board warrior comment, I know it wont matter.
Zaknafein, you're stupid or you didn't pay attention to what was being said before you attacked him. You cant give your complete bounties from one character to another. In Datto's video he had more than 4 of the bounties in his inventory at once. Don't jump on people before you even know whats being said/asked.
THANK YOU !!! now i have all the quests complete XD
48 still no Quest...
Forty Fucking Eight!
Damn, so you've done every one all 4 weeks on all three characters... RNGesus really doesn't like you... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Liked me enough to grant me a Fatebringer rolled Imago Loop.
LOL
John W Oh, well that makes more sense. You just simply used up all your luck for a while, and now have to wait to get some back then... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
John W 3 and I got it
John W same here dude
I never realized i did something before datto. I’m so happy now.
I used word of crota and loved it. that thing is a beast now
i deleted my atheons epilogue. Used word of crota for a second. That was horrible. Thank god i had a void adept scholar from y1 trials. That helped a lot.
I remember when I got it. God the thorn is my favourite revolver. Yeah it can be bad but the looks are so beautiful
atheon was rough in the cruicble! i would even waste the mag down to 30 to get GHF. i ended up switching to word of crota and found that working better for me.
Thanks brosif. Helped a lot.
I got thorn today and it is my new fav pvp weapon
I did this during Iron Banner with a void Saladin's Vigil. First game I got 8 kills with the 8 ammo I started with. It was glorious.
I GOT IT. FINALLY YES. And For Void. I Would Recommend AOT Word Of Crota Adept. It Pretty Good.
i did this in my video a couple days ago. its much easier than year 1. Xyor was a PAIN! Killing the ogre was much better.
Thorn is actually still quite decent. I got mine last night and first game got a 4.2kd. Although the DoT damage is pretty much dead it is still very viable.
its about time I really need it thanks @Datto
Omg I've been waiting for this
Word is actually good imo, it's definitely the best of the two
thanks for this vid datto it really helped me out!
For the crucible part if you don't have a void primary(like myself) I would suggest going into supremacy it took me about 7 games to complete.
If you're like me and mediocre in the Crucible and struggle to get kills with your special, getting those Void kills doesn't need to be super painful. Use a Void sidearm. Unlike the other special weapons you'll respawn with a supply of ammo so no need to go chasing those ammo crates. It's still a big grind, but a few hours of Iron Banner and I got the step done thanks to the sidearm.
If you don't have a Void sidearm, you can buy the Teacup Tempest from the Vanguard Quartermaster.
You can do the fallen kills in the raid. That helped a lot too for those on the 2nd step
I did this with word of crota and it is actually Very viable in crucible right now.
I got the jagged purpose one my second bounty and I didn't even know what it was until I watched this
The year 1 adept scout i saved was amazing to use. It tripled tapped and dropped people. It is really good. If you have it, use it.
I did this in a few matches as a void walker with Ashton's epilogue. It's like using doctrine of passing. It wreaks if you play to its strength.
You can tear through the fallen kills step if you farm out the first part of the raid. Costs no offerings, volt absorbers are worth 4 percent, and consistent spawning of ads
I did not have Atheons Epilogue but did have Word of Crota and it felt very solid for the Void Kills. If I remember right you can 3 tap someone down with all headshots.
i needed u for this but u completed it already
I did a random sheers bounty for fun and got it. This was the only Sheero bounty I've actually done
I got the quest from the first i've done, i was so lucky, and the quest is easy AF
The first bounty****
Finally got it last night on my 29th bounty as well.
got mine on 29th bounty as well lovin the weapon
Took about 20 bounties before I got it. I was half way through the void kills on my Titan, started playing on my hunter a bit, and I got another one after a few more bounties
It is exactly 130 void kills in crucible. I ran a voidwalker warlock, Atheons Ep, telesto, and corrective measure. Everything was void, no way a kill couldnt be.

Mr BWat Uncharged melees don't have an element so most likely one of those kills didn't count, unless you only used your Merle when it was charged :/
Melee*
I was so happy when I got it and then I used it.
i was so happy i got it today
Thanks, this was very helpful :)
Thanks so much, It was so helpful
Also anyone who doesn't get it from the chest, look on the ground, for sometimes it will drop on the ground as an exotic engram instead of going into your inventory :3
I know everything in this video already, still gonna watch cause datto
Hey just subscribed, also I was being helped on Destiny by a hella cool online player
This quest is why I kept Atheon's Epilogue through year two.
I did my Thorn quest yesterday, and I think majors may be worth more for the kill Fallen part. It seemed like I went through it much faster than my friend doing it at the same time, as I was taking down majors as soon as I saw them.
It's 125 kills in the Crucible, the in game quest step shows percentage, but the Destiny app shows the amount of kills you need.
So you weren't wrong, but 125 is the specific number.
Got this in week 3 on my hunter. Telesto was my friend in crucible. This was much easier than year 1 though.
i did not git the thorn in year 1 but this year i am going to try it out!which will be fun i think.
"Because fun, we're having fun". Lawl. Datto and his dry humor. Hilarious. But yea good to know we don't lose progress this time
for crucible, use a void messenger (if you have one). it pretty much 2 taps like back in Y1
Atheons Epilogue melted for me lol I had a lot of fun pairing it with a fusion and Truth. Only took me like 5-6 games to get it
Hey, for the fallen kills quest step fallen majors are worth 5% of the bounty each. For the crucible portion, I wrecked people with Atheon's Epilogue, especially hand cannon users. I just figured their aim was thrown off too much by the heavy stream of bullets. Word of Crota was trash. Took me 7 or 8 games of supremacy as a voidwalker.
i love ur raid streams
It's 125 kills to be exact for crucible it is on the bungie site if you have the quest
I was struggling since all I had was a shotgun that wasn't very good with Void on it for Crucible. But thankfully I picked up a Matador 64 around the 85% that got me two awesome games and finished that off quickly for me. Recoil sucks but it was fantastic with a shield titan
I just used quantiplasm with sun singer for the crucible part, and got it done really quickly, considering I always got top in the matches I played.
Keep it up Datto
if you need to do the voice kills quickly in the crucible, do mayhem. it helps
the nostalgia now D2 is out is super big for me. i hope they are going to release D1 on the PC as well because i sold my xbox :(
Datto could you do a video for new players to Destiny or for ppl who left and want to come back? Where do we begin? What are some goals?
It took me a long time to get that thorn bounty too. I sometimes hate the rng in this game.
Eventually drops. You'll get it when you stop looking. Took me till last week, then on my main yesterday.
I got the jagged purpose while watching this!:) I got datto luck
I suggest using Word of Crota some void shotgun and void machine gun, that's what I used and it took me around 5 matches to get the bounty done. I'm a 1 KD flat player.
