*Destiny 2* players are diving into the new Episode, *Heresy*, filled with excitement over *Star Wars* items and fresh activities. Amidst the thrill, a mysterious material called the Curio of the Nine has sparked curiosity and speculation. So, what exactly does the Curio of the Nine do in *Destiny 2*?
What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
As you explore *Heresy*, the third installment of *Final Shape*, you'll encounter a variety of new items, including both new and classic weapons. However, you might also stumble upon the enigmatic Curio of the Nine in your inventory. This item bears the description, "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine."
The Nine, known as the enigmatic entities ruling Unknown Space, are closely linked to the lore behind the Curio. Yet, the item's purpose remains shrouded in mystery. When inspecting it, you'll find the cryptic message, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"
This secrecy has driven players to scour the internet for answers, adding an intriguing layer for those deeply invested in *Destiny 2*'s lore. However, it can be frustrating for players who prefer a tidy inventory and wish to focus solely on gameplay.
Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
Like many items in *Destiny 2*, you can discard the Curio of the Nine. However, be warned: once discarded, it cannot be reacquired. 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 mysterious nature of the Nine, it's wise to hold onto the Curio of the Nine, at least until the *Heresy* Episode runs its course.
