Completing the Of Queens and Worms quest in Destiny 2 allows players to secure the powerful Parasite Exotic Grenade Launcher. This post-campaign questline requires Guardians to navigate Savathûn's Throne World, charge cryptoglyph runes, and venture through multiple Lost Sectors. By following this comprehensive walkthrough, you can efficiently fulfill each objective and claim your exotic reward without unnecessary delays.
Starting the Quest and Early Objectives
To begin the quest, players must first complete the main story campaign of The Witch Queen expansion. Once finished, visit Mara Sov at the Enclave on Mars to receive your initial instructions regarding Savathûn's dying worm. Afterwards, complete the Birthplace of the Vile strike to jumpstart the charging process for the worm's casing.
Tracking Down Cryptoglyph Runes
Your journey continues in the Throne World, where you need to speak with the Hive vendor Fynch. Players will travel to the Temple of Cunning to retrieve a Cryptoglyph rune before defeating Scorn enemies to charge it. Additional runes are hidden in distinct locations, including the Queen's Bailey and the Alluring Curtain regions.
Conquering Lost Sectors and Incubators
Throughout the questline, Guardians must locate and clear three specific Lost Sectors across the destination. You will explore Sepulcher, Metamorphosis, and Extraction to interact with hidden larvae incubators. Using Deepsight vision in these areas is crucial to revealing hidden paths and secret chests required for quest progression.
The Final Mission Parasitic Pilgrimage
After acquiring the Hive Casing from Fynch, you unlock the final step titled Parasitic Pilgrimage. This mission requires carrying the worm safely through waves of hazardous traps, environmental obstacles, and Hive forces. Delivering the worm to Mara Sov triggers a ritual where you defend the area and unleash your newly forged Parasite Grenade Launcher.
