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

With the launch of *Heresy*, the third episode in the *Final Shape* saga of *Destiny 2*, players are not only excited about the new *Star Wars* themed items and activities but are also intrigued by a mysterious item known as the Curio of the Nine. As you delve deeper into *Heresy*, you'll encounter a variety of new and returning weapons, but it's the enigmatic Curio of the Nine that's catching many players' attention. Described as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine," this item is tied to the lore of the mysterious Nine, beings who govern Unknown Space. However, the item's purpose remains shrouded in mystery, with the in-game description hinting that "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…". This secrecy has sparked a flurry of online speculation and discussions among those deeply invested in *Destiny 2*'s lore, while others find it somewhat inconvenient as they prefer a clutter-free inventory to focus on the game's action.

Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

If you find the Curio of the Nine in your inventory and wish to discard it, *Destiny 2* allows you to do so. However, be warned: once you discard this item, there's no way to retrieve it. The item's description ominously states, "While this item does not currently appear to have a purpose, guard it with your life – as it cannot be reacquired if discarded." Given the significance of the Nine in *Destiny 2*'s lore, it might be wise to keep the Curio of the Nine, especially throughout the duration of the *Heresy* episode.
