Xenophage is still obtained through its Moon questline in Destiny 2: start in Sorrow’s Harbor on the Moon, follow the hidden path to Eris’s area, then complete the multi-step quest through Anchor of Light, Moon Lost Sectors, and the Pit of Heresy dungeon before returning to Eris for the weapon.

Quick route

  1. Go to Sorrow’s Harbor on the Moon and enter the hidden path near the glowing orb to begin the quest.
  1. Solve the Anchor of Light light-lectern step, then finish the Moon Lost Sector rune puzzles for the fragment step.
  1. Progress into Pit of Heresy , clear the hidden door section, then finish the Pariah encounter step and defeat the final boss.
  1. Return to Eris Morn to claim Xenophage.

2026 note

Recent 2026 Destiny coverage still treats Xenophage as part of the active exotic collection and cites updated guides for current players, so the quest is still being discussed as relevant in the current era of the game. Bungie’s June 2026 “Monument of Triumph” update also refreshed exotic-related progression for the game’s final live-service phase.

Fast tips

  • Bring a reliable loadout for Pit of Heresy ; the quest has several puzzle and combat segments.
  • The Moon steps are the real time sink, especially the lectern sequence and rune puzzles.
  • If you’re following a modern guide, look for the 2026/updated route rather than an old Shadowkeep write-up, since community guides have been refreshed for current players.

TL;DR

Start on the Moon in Sorrow’s Harbor, work through the hidden quest steps, clear Pit of Heresy, and turn it in to Eris for Xenophage.
