With the launch of *Destiny 2's* Episode *Heresy*, players are not only thrilled about the *Star Wars* themed items and new activities but also intrigued by a mysterious item known as the Curio of the Nine. As you navigate through *Heresy*, the third installment of the *Final Shape* series, you'll encounter various new and returning weapons, yet the Curio of the Nine stands out with its enigmatic presence in your inventory. Described as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine," this item connects directly to the lore of the Nine, the enigmatic entities that govern Unknown Space. However, the purpose of the Curio remains shrouded in mystery, with the item's tooltip teasingly stating, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet..."
This cryptic message sends lore enthusiasts scouring the internet for clues, while others, who prefer a more streamlined inventory, find the item somewhat of an annoyance. If you're wondering whether you can dispose of the Curio of the Nine, the answer is yes, but with a caveat. You can discard it like most items in *Destiny 2*, but once gone, it cannot be reclaimed. The item's description ominously warns, "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 ominous nature of the Nine in *Destiny 2's* lore, it might be wise to heed this advice and keep the Curio of the Nine, at least until the conclusion of *Heresy*.
As for how long you'll need to hold onto the Curio of the Nine, *Destiny 2 Episode: Heresy* began on February 4th, 2025, and is structured into three Acts, each lasting several weeks to over a month. Based on this format, *Heresy* is expected to wrap up sometime in the summer of 2025, though an exact end date has not been announced. It could potentially extend into the fall, but past Episodes suggest this is unlikely.
In summary, the Curio of the Nine adds an intriguing layer of mystery to *Destiny 2's* *Heresy* Episode. While its purpose remains undisclosed, the item's connection to the Nine makes it a compelling element for players to explore or safeguard.
