Destiny 2 Quest Guide: How to Complete "Crossing the Threshold" and Unlock New Exotics

 


Looking to grab some brand-new exotic gear in Destiny 2? The latest questline, “Crossing the Threshold,” is now live and packed with powerful rewards. Whether you’re eyeing the Gjallarhorn Catalyst or curious about The Navigator exotic, this guide will help you get there fast. This walkthrough covers everything you need to know — from starting the quest at the Rites of the Nine to completing the Prophecy Dungeon and choosing your exotic reward.

If you’re ready to dive in and complete this weekly mission, here’s how to tackle every step and unlock top-tier loot in Destiny 2.

Starting the “Crossing the Threshold” Quest

To begin, launch Destiny 2 and locate the Rites of the Nine activity in the Director. Once inside, you’ll want to find and speak with the Emissary of the Nine. Interacting with her will trigger the start of the “Crossing the Threshold” questline.

While speaking to the Emissary, you’ll also notice two additional optional quests:

  • First Vision

  • Elegant Arsenal

These aren't mandatory, but completing them alongside the main quest will grant you more loot and progression rewards.




Preparing for the Prophecy Dungeon

After accepting the quest, you’ll be directed to complete a dungeon. While you have the option to run any dungeon, the game specifically points you to the Prophecy Dungeon, which aligns directly with the quest’s lore and objective.

Here’s what you should do next:

  • Open the Eternity location from your Director.

  • Launch the Prophecy Dungeon.

  • Make sure your loadout is optimized, as you’ll face multiple combat encounters.

The dungeon includes three main boss fights and puzzle sections, so coordinate with your fireteam if needed or prepare for a solo run.

Clearing the Prophecy Dungeon

Once inside the Prophecy Dungeon, your goal is to complete every encounter until the final boss is defeated. This includes:

  • Navigating the Wastelands

  • Solving Darkness and Light puzzles

  • Battling through Hexahedron, Cube Room, and the Final Boss: Kell Echo

Stay focused during the transitions between rooms. These areas are packed with Taken enemies and puzzle elements that test your timing and positioning. Be sure to grab loot from each chest along the way — the rewards are useful even outside of the quest.

After beating the final boss, you’ll see the “Crossing the Threshold” quest step update automatically.




Returning to the Emissary and Collecting Rewards

After finishing the dungeon, fast travel back to the Rites of the Nine and speak with the Emissary once again. She’ll confirm that the dungeon step is complete, and you’ll unlock new quest progress along with access to reward selections.

You’ll be given the opportunity to choose from two powerful exotics:

  • The Navigator Exotic

  • Gjallarhorn Catalyst

Choose whichever you prefer first. Destiny 2 is structured so that you’ll likely be able to get the other later via future completions or similar content drops.

Optional Quests: First Vision and Elegant Arsenal

In addition to “Crossing the Threshold,” you’ll have access to two side quests from the Emissary:

  • First Vision

  • Elegant Arsenal

Here’s why they matter:

  • First Vision rewards players with extra seasonal gear. To progress, open special chests after completing dungeon content.

  • Elegant Arsenal provides additional loot that complements your exotic selection.

These side quests are optional but highly recommended. Completing all three quests at once ensures you maximize your time and gain more gear without additional grinding.


Final Quest Steps and Weekly Wrap-Up

Once you’ve chosen your exotic and completed any additional objectives, return to the Emissary to finalize the quest. “Crossing the Threshold” will now be marked as completed in your quest log. Weekly resets may allow for replaying or acquiring missing rewards, so it’s worth checking back in.

At this point, you should now have:

  • Finished the Prophecy Dungeon

  • Collected your choice of exotic (The Navigator or Gjallarhorn Catalyst)

  • Progressed or completed optional quests

Congratulations — you’ve wrapped up one of Destiny 2’s most rewarding seasonal activities!



Conclusion: Make the Most of the Rites of the Nine Questline

The “Crossing the Threshold” quest in Destiny 2 is a solid way to earn powerful rewards, including new exotic gear like The Navigator and the Gjallarhorn Catalyst. Completing the Prophecy Dungeon, engaging with the Emissary of the Nine, and taking on side quests like First Vision and Elegant Arsenal can easily fill out your gear slots and enhance your loadout.

Whether you're a returning player or a weekly content grinder, don’t skip this quest. It’s straightforward, repeatable, and filled with valuable rewards that contribute to your endgame progression.
