Destiny 2 The Final Shape: Traveler’s Blessings explained

Destiny 2 has brought about the conclusion of the Light & Darkness Saga with The Final Shape, which introduced a lot of new mechanics such as the Traveler’s Blessings.

D2’s Traveler’s Blessings are Destination Mods that players can acquire while journeying around the Pale Heart.

Since this is a new mechanic, it helps to know exactly what you are getting into with Traveler’s Blessings. So we’ve compiled an explanation of how these work as well as what each one is in Destiny 2: The Finale Shape.

What are Traveler’s Blessings in Destiny 2?

Dexerto

These Destination Mods are a little different than the mods you would use for Armor or Weapons. Instead of altering damage or defense, the Traveler’s Blessings will affect the Pale Heart itself.

In essence, they are helpful buffs that can give you an edge when completing different activities around the new location. There is another twist that comes with them, too – each one is timed.

While other mods are permanent, Traveler’s Blessings are temporary, with none of them lasting more than 27 hours.

There are two types of Traveler’s Blessings you can find: Flickering Blessings and Pale Blessings. Each one requires different kinds of actions to unlock, as well.

Flickering Blessings can be collected from the following:

• Cyst chests
• Lost Sector chests
• Overthrow Level 2 & Level 3 encounter chests
• Pathfinder Field Assignments chests
• Triage chests

Obtaining Pale Blessings is a little trickier, as they require you to complete every level of the Overthrow activity in one of The Pale Heart’s zones. After completing these, you will be given a Luminescent Seed, which can be planted in one of the hand sculptures scattered around The Pale Heart.

This seed grows into a Traveler’s Flower, and interacting with it will give you access to the Pale Blessing.

You can activate which one you want heading to the Map in the Director. There will be a new option next to the Pathfinder icon.
