*Destiny 2* players have eagerly jumped into the new Episode titled *Heresy*, filled with excitement for the *Star Wars* items and fresh activities. Amidst this excitement, a mysterious material known as the Curio of the Nine has caught the attention of many players. So, what does the Curio of the Nine do in *Destiny 2*?
What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
As you delve into *Heresy*, the third installment of the *Final Shape* series, you'll encounter a variety of new items, including both new and classic weapons. Among these, you might stumble upon the enigmatic Curio of the Nine in your inventory. This item bears the description, "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine."
The Nine, known as the enigmatic controllers of Unknown Space, are intricately linked to the Curio's lore. However, the item's purpose remains shrouded in mystery, with the game stating, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"
This secrecy has driven players to scour the internet for clues, which is a delightful dive into *Destiny 2*'s rich lore for some, yet a bit of a hassle for those who prefer a clutter-free inventory and wish to focus solely on the gameplay.
Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?
Like most items in *Destiny 2*, you have the option to discard the Curio of the Nine. However, be warned: once discarded, it cannot be reclaimed. The item's description dramatically 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 lore surrounding the Nine, it's advisable to hold onto the Curio, especially throughout the duration of *Heresy*. The Nine are not to be trifled with, and their tokens might hold significance later on.
