Dive into the enigmatic world of Destiny 2's latest Episode, *Heresy*, and you'll encounter a curious new item: the Curio of the Nine. This mysterious token, described as "an enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine," has left many players scratching their heads. Its in-game description offers little clarity, hinting only at the Nine's enigmatic nature and their unwillingness to reveal its purpose just yet.
The Nine, the shadowy entities controlling Unknown Space, are known for their cryptic ways, and the Curio is no exception. While its lore connection is intriguing for dedicated fans, its presence in your inventory might be a source of frustration for those prioritizing a tidy inventory and focused gameplay.
Can you get rid of it? Yes, you can discard the Curio of the Nine. However, be warned: the game explicitly states it's unrecoverable. Given the Nine's ominous reputation within Destiny 2 lore, holding onto this mysterious item might be a wise choice, at least for the duration of *Heresy*.
How Long Will *Heresy* Last?
Launched on February 4th, 2025, *Destiny 2 Episode: Heresy* follows the typical three-act structure of previous Episodes. Each act spans several weeks, often extending beyond a month. Therefore, we can anticipate *Heresy*'s conclusion sometime in the summer of 2025, though a precise end date remains unannounced. While a potential extension into fall is possible, past Episode durations suggest this is less likely.
In short, the Curio of the Nine's function in *Destiny 2* remains a mystery for now. Its purpose, tied to the enigmatic Nine, is likely to unfold as the *Heresy* Episode progresses.
