Curio of the Nine's Role in Destiny 2 Revealed

*Destiny 2* enthusiasts are diving into the new Episode *Heresy*, buzzing with excitement over *Star Wars* items and fresh activities. Amidst all this, a mysterious item known as the Curio of the Nine has sparked curiosity among players. So, what exactly does the Curio of the Nine do in *Destiny 2*?

What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

As you navigate through *Heresy*, the third installment of *Final Shape*, you'll encounter a variety of new items, from new and returning weapons to a peculiar material called the Curio of the Nine. Its description intriguingly states, "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine."

The Nine, enigmatic entities that govern Unknown Space, are intricately linked to this item. Yet, the Curio's purpose remains shrouded in mystery. When you inspect it in your inventory, you're met with the cryptic message, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"

This secrecy compels players to scour the internet for answers, delighting lore enthusiasts who relish in unraveling *Destiny 2*'s complex narrative. However, for those who prefer a streamlined inventory and a focus on gameplay, the Curio can be a bit of an annoyance.

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

Like many items in *Destiny 2*, you have the option to discard the Curio of the Nine once you've acquired it. The caveat, however, is that there's no way to retrieve it once it's gone. The item's description ominously advises, "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 enigmatic nature of the Nine, it's wise to heed this warning and keep the Curio of the Nine, at least for the duration of *Heresy*.
