Destiny 2’s latest update, Episode Heresy, has brought forth a plethora of new content, including weapons, artifacts, dungeons, and more. The Sundered Doctrine dungeon, especially, was highly anticipated and brings with it the Drowning Labyrinth quest, one of the best quests in the game. 

The Drowning Labyrinth quest takes place inside Rhulk’s Pyramid Ship. In this quest, you have to retrieve the Hidden Report and then use the report’s findings to interact with the Pyramid machinery. While simple on paper, no task comes easy in Destiny 2. The ancient ship is filled with enemies and riddled with puzzles, making it one of the harder quests in the game. 

If you’re stuck on this quest and don’t know how to proceed, our guide has you covered. In this guide, we shall go over Destiny 2’s The Drowning Labyrinth quest, introduced with the Sundered Doctrine.

Starting the Quest

To begin The Drowning Labyrinth quest, first, you need to complete the Sundered Doctrine dungeon in the normal or master difficulty. You can pick up the dungeon quest from Ikora in the Tower and then proceed ahead to complete the whole level in any of the two aforementioned difficulties. Once you’ve run through the dungeon, the Drowning Labyrinth will be revealed as the next step, asking you to “become initiated” and enter some codes.

Once the objective is unlocked, head back over to the start of the dungeon and diverge from the main path to enter the hall with the NPC Guardians. There is a small workbench by the staircase towards the end of the room. Pick up the “Hidden Research” item off this bench to “become initiated.” 

Next, head down the staircase and interact with the console board at the end of the hall. Activate the console and enter the code by shooting the buttons on the wall ahead. Shoot the symbols in the order of Witch Queen>Enter>Pyramid and activate the console again. 

Entering the code will unveil the next step, which will ask you to find Rhulk’s experimental Hive worms and hunt down a group of Dread studying the Pyramid. 

Laboratory Worms

There are three worms to find as part of the next step. Head up the stairs and outside the hall and cross the bridge ahead. Drop down below towards the very end of the bridge to find a secret room. Make sure to time your glides so you don’t fall off the map. Enter the secret room under the bridge and collect the first worm. Note down the large symbol in the room. 

The second worm is found shortly after the first encounter of the dungeon in the underground Pyramid City. Stick to the left edge of this area and follow along till you come across an entrance at the very end. Shoot the door open and enter to find your second worm. Note down the large symbol in the room. 

The final worm is found after the second encounter in the dungeon, in the lens hall, before the boss. When entering the arena, stick to the right and parkour your way to the bridge above. Jump across the bridge onto the small glass platform and enter its recess to find a hidden door. Activate the door to enter the room and find the third worm. Note down the large symbol in the room.

Finding the Dread Knowledge

With the worms collected, go back to the large hall with the NPC Guardians and head to the control panel. Activate the panel and enter the symbols you saw in the worm rooms as your code. The code is Witness>Gift>Darkness. 

After entering the code, head back into the dungeon as you would, and you will find new enemies before the first encounter. Kill these enemies, and some of them will drop “Knowledge,” which you can collect. Stand on the plate with the Knowledge to unveil a secret door behind you. Enter the new room and interact with the panel to complete the step. 

After this, proceed through the dungeon as intended and defeat the final boss to update the quest to the time-gated section. This will complete 5/11 objectives in the quest, with the remainder being time-gated for now.
