The first Destiny 2 mission of the Edge of Fate places you on Kepler. The Guardians have received a distress signal that has brought them to this planet. The Guardian, Ikora Rey, and the Drifter arrive to seek answers. But at first, they get more questions than answers. They meet new enemies and a possible ally. Here is the walkthrough of the first Edge of Fate mission, Invitation.
Destiny 2 Edge of Fate: The Invitation
Screenshot of Matterspark Upgrade courtesy of the Destiny 2 channelFollow the marker to encounter new Fallen enemies, Corsairs. Eliminate them and some Vandals to remove the barrier to the next area. As you continue your path to meet with Ikora, more Fallen meet you. Defeat them to start a conversation with Ikora. Ikora tasks you with finding materials in the area. Follow the marker to explore the area.
Matterspark
After one of the Nine members attempts to contact you, you will find the first Kepler ability, Matterspark. Interacting with this turns you into an arc ball that can fit through small spaces. The controls you need to know for this ability are: Jump key bind to jump, interact keybind to leave the form, aim down sights key bind to dash, and primary fire keybind to attack. Matterspark has a timer, and when it runs out, you exit the form. If you are in an enclosed space when it happens, you will die.
Proceed through the vents until you reach a pylon. Attack the pylon in Matterspark form to open up a new pathway.
Defeat the Exile Servitor
The fight is relatively uncomplicated. A weapon for damage and one to clear enemies is required. It is not a Darkness zone, so you will not wipe if everyone is dead. Once you take half of the boss’s health, he will become shielded. To remove the shield, players will need Matterspark to fit into the small spaces on the left and right sides of the arena. Here you will find pylons to charge. Once both are charged, head over to the Servitor and kill it to earn your first loot.
Find Materials
Charge the pylon to unlock the next area. Follow the marker while taking down more Eliskni combatants until you get a new objective to defeat the Crystalline Captain.
Defeat the Crystalline Captain
Once you eliminate the Captain, you must charge three pylons found in the area. You can find these on the left, middle, and right of the arena. Completing the first and second pylons spawns additional Eliksni. Once all three are charged, all enemies despawn. Enter the Matterspark form to reach your rewards.
Return to the Mechanism
Retrace your steps to find a previously closed door that is now open. After another interaction with the Nine, you will get a rally banner.
Defeat the Archon’s Vessels
Another boss fight ensues. You will fight three Vessels in total. Two of them are surrounded by a barrier that you must enter to deal damage to them. Once killed, you will get more rewards and a Strangelet Capsule. Using the mechanism will start a cutscene where you meet Lodi.
Explore Onwards
Continue forward to meet up with Lodi and complete the first mission.
Post Mission
Players are assigned a couple of tasks to progress the story. When you try to connect the Capsule to the Altar of Relativity, you are told there is no power. Follow the markers to the two levers to restore power. Once done, head back to the Altar. Insert the Capsule to trigger another interaction with the Nine and receive the Edge of Fate quest. Speak to Dean Rebecca. After not understanding what she said, you are tasked with defeating Vex in the area. Collect Vex Data to summon a Barricade Mind. Once defeated, you acquire loot and can decipher a terminal. Doing so gives you the Rosetta ability, which allows you to understand basic Aionian language.
Your final task is to collect Signal telemetry to find Orin. After meeting with Orin, return to the Altar to receive two quests: Central Academy and Exile’s Accord. You can choose either questline to continue the Edge of Fate story.
