Where in the EDZ is Archie in Destiny 2?

Archie returns to Destiny 2 with a trip to the EDZ following the May 7, 2024, weekly reset. This is the latest in a series of “Where in the System is Archie” quests in the wake of the Into the Light update — which are being staggered out week-by-week in the lead up to The Final Shape. Note this quest expires on the May 14 weekly reset, and will be replaced by another Archie quest in a new location (the following week sees Archie on the Moon). Provided you complete any Archie quest before the arrival of The Final Shape, you’ll get your hands on the Blue Steel shader, while the lore for all Archie quests will be available from June 4 on.

Once done, the search begins. All Archie EDZ locations Here is where to find Archie in the EDZ, clue-by-clue. ‘Archie heard about some feathers behind a fireplace. He’s hoping to find a glowing bird’ location The first clue refers to a fireplace not far from Devrim’s location. Head east from the Trostland church, and you’ll see this building on the corner.

The easiest way to find this is to head to the Winding Cove fast travel point, then go east along the coast to the following point on the map: [Image: https://platform.polygon.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25438448/destiny_2_where_in_edz_is_archie_13.jpg?quality=90&strip=all] Investigate the paw prints for another clue.

Use the Sunken Isle fast travel point, then head towards the interior of the huge ship to the west.

He heard some Guardians talking about “the place where we reclaimed the Light” and some cool floating rocks there’ location For this final clue, you need to first head to The Sludge.

It blocks your path and has an on-screen icon, so you shouldn’t miss it.

Doing so opens up a Taken portal. Leap inside. You now repeat this process — finding and disabling the jammers, fighting or avoiding enemies as you go — until you reach an arena with Archie and a handful of foes.

With enough damage, more jammers will come online, which require disabling before the Centurion can be fought again. Once done, Archie is free. Offer “pawsitive reinforcement” (Bungie’s words, not ours — we cannot take credit), then revisit Ada back in the Tower to complete the quest.

Whether you keep it is up to you!
