Essence of Despair Quest Steps in Destiny 2

Completing the quest in Destiny 2, Essence of Despair, will reward you with the Dreambane Mark but there’s something that you need to get first before you can start it.

When you take on the bounty from the Lectern of Enchantment, you will first need a Phantasmal Core, which are obtained through weekly bounties from the Lectern or by turning in Phantasmal Fragments for Cores.

If you need help getting either of those, make sure to check out our respective guides.

Now, once you have the Phantasmal Core and have the quest ready to go, you just have to follow the quest directions to get the Dreambane Mark.
