The Destiny 2 Legacy Shadowkeep quest is a campaign covering the Shadowkeep DLC, which takes place on the Moon.
It begins with you aiding the Vanguard to take their positions upon the Moon against the Hive and later on puts you alongside Eris Morn to discover the secrets of the Pyramid.
During this quest, you will face off against the new Nightmares that the Hive appears to not be affected by and will have to help Eris Morn find a way to combat them and enter the Pyramid.
Legacy Shadowkeep Quest Steps
Step 1: Complete the In Search of Answers Mission
The In Search of Answers mission will need to be completed before you can proceed past the first quest step in the Legacy Shadowkeep campaign.

Step 2: Visit Eris Morn in Sanctuary

Head back to Sanctuary and speak with Eris Morn to receive the Essence of Despair quest, which needs to be completed next.
Step 3: Complete Essence of Despair
The Essence of Despair is a short quest that involves cleansing the Essence which you have obtained and you will need to complete it before proceeding to step 4.
Step 4: Visit Eris Morn Again in Sanctuary

Step 8: Complete Essence of Anguish
After completing the previous quest step, you will now need to cleanse another Essence which will be done in the Essence of Anguish quest.
This mini-quest must be completed for you to proceed to the next part of the Legacy Shadowkeep campaign.
You will find the Essence of Anguish in the quest tab as it was rewarded previously after you defeated the Nightmare of Omnigul.
Step 9: Return to Eris Morn
Eris Morn has gained information after Hashladun’s death, which is the location of the Hive Cryptoglyph and you will need to speak with her to learn where to find it.

Step 11: Return to Eris Morn with The Cryptoglyph
Now that you have taken the Cryptoglyph, head back to Eris Morn on The Moon and speak with her, which will allow you to further craft more Dreambane Armor later.
Step 12: Use the Cryptoglyph to Empower the Lectern of Enchantment
After speaking with Eris Morn, the Lectern of Enchantment will be available, interact with it to empower it, and obtain another reward.
This unlocks the Lectern of Enchantment, allowing you to accept bounties and purchase resources from it.
Step 13: Visit Ikora on the Moon
Ikora has arrived on the Moon to see the Pyramid for herself and needs to speak with you, head through the portal near Eris Morn, and talk to Ikora.
A cutscene will play where you and Ikora will speak with Eris Morn, ending with Ikora offering the full aid of the Vanguard at Eris’s disposal.
Step 14: Craft the Remaining Dreambane Armor Pieces
It is time for you to complete your Dreambane Armor set, which requires that you hunt down the remaining Nightmare bosses and collect their Essences.
This also means that you will have to complete each of the Essence quests to proceed with the campaign.
- Essence of Fear
- Essence of Isolation
- Essence of Pride

Shadowkeep Quest Rewards
Before the Shadowkeep is completed, you will be able to obtain a piece of Exotic gear, this is different depending on which class you are playing.
The following are the Exotic rewards you can get for each class in the Shadowkeep Campaign:
- Assassin’s Cowl (Hunter)
- Phoenix Cradle (Titan)
- Stormdancer’s Brace (Warlock)
As you near the completion of the Shadowkeep Campaign, the following quests will be available:
- The Deepening Wake
- Memory of Sai Mota
- Essence of Brutality
Tips
- The Nightmare enemies you face are stronger than their normal counterparts, you should be extra careful when facing them.
- You will need to get a full set of Dreambane Armor before you can enter the Pyramid, which only happens as you proceed with the quest.
- It is a good idea to keep an eye on the weak spots of your enemies so that you can deal extra damage to them.
- During the Beyond mission, you may face some bugs after fighting the bosses which can be fixed by going out of bounds or abandoning the activity and entering again.
- If you accidentally get rid of your Dreambane Armor, you can reacquire parts of it again from Eris Morn but will need certain materials.
Verdict
From out of nowhere the strange Pyramid appeared and you were finally able to help Eris Morn complete her investigation.
With the help of the Dreambane Armor, you were able to infiltrate the Pyramid to witness firsthand the Nightmares of your previously defeated enemies.
Although the first steps were a success, there is still a lot to be discovered, especially when it comes to the Unknown Artifact that you have recently obtained.
