There’s been a murder, and it’s up to you to solve it, Guardian.
Amanda Holliday is offering up a new quest following Tuesday’s reset called The Lost Cryptarch, which involves the untimely death of a Cryptarch called Master Ives.
If you head over to the Hanger in the Tower, she’ll be waiting there to get you started. You’ll receive a Pursuit called Journal of the Reef Cryptarch. This mission is going to be split up into several stages over a few weeks, so we’ll update this page as the story progresses.
After speaking with Holliday, she gives you Master Ives empty journal, which is empty, so you’re tasked with finding its missing pages. There are two ways you can source these elusive pages: Some are hidden in Legendary and Exotic Engrams. Yellow bar Fallen enemies in the EDZ
There’s every chance you might find all 10 pages in one drop, but the easiest way we found to source them was to head to the EDZ and complete two Public Events – turn them into Heroic Events if you can – and the pages dropped after killing the yellow bar Fallen enemies.
Upon finding all 10 pages, the Pursuit will update to say that the unique encryption on each page is uncrackable by conventional means, so Holliday is using her contacts to find a way to crack them and will be in touch in due course.
We’re staying in the EDZ for this next part of the questline, exploring four Lost Sectors.
The Pursuit, Journal of the Reef Cryptarch, now says that Holliday and her sources have decrypted the pages you found and that there’s a link to the Fallen.
You’ll need to search the Atrium, Terminus East and Widow’s Walk to find and defeat yellow bar Fallen enemies and loot the chests in each area to proceed. We’ve highlighted the three initial Lost Sectors in yellow on the map.
Once you’ve searched and looted each of these Lost Sectors, the quest will update again. The Pursuit tells you that no clues were found during your search, but that there’s a lot of Fallen chatter about another Lost Sector, Whispered Falls.
Whispered Falls is over in the Outskirts of the EDZ. The orange circle on our map highlights where it can be found.
You’re looking for the Lost Sector symbol on a grassy rock. Jump over the rock and head towards the rock face to find the cave entrance. The path in this cave is quite a tight squeeze and a bit confusing, so you might end up back outside once or twice until you get your bearings.
It’s the same script once you’re inside: defeat the yellow bar enemy and loot the chest. The quest will update a final time to say that all you’ve found is a box of his possessions and a tattered robe and that your trail has gone cold.
And that’s all for this week! The next step of this quest is likely to go live on Tuesday, November 13, so we’ll keep you updated with any changes.
