Destiny 2: How to Get The Lament Exotic Sword (Dead Exos)

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is here and, obviously, there are lots of new exotics to obtain both in the weapons and armor departments. A lot of what has been released in the expansion so far is quite powerful, so many people have their eyes on The Lament, an exotic sword that lets you tear through barrier champion shields. We’ll go over what you need to know about how to get the Lament exotic sword and how to find the Dead Exos.

How to Get Lament Exotic Sword in Destiny 2

Now that the Deep Stone Crypt has been opened, the quest for the Lament exotic sword, Lost Lament, has been added. Let’s run through the quest steps. They aren’t particularly hard, just a bit time-consuming.

1. Dead Exos

Destiny 2 Lament Quest Steps

Your first step is to find three Dead Exos. There’s a total of nine but any three will do. The three that are the quickest and easiest to grab are two from the Lost Sectors: Perdition and Bunker E15 and one that is on the way there.

Check them out below:

2. Find Giant Exo

Next, you’re going to head on over to Bray Exoscience. The way should be marked so track it, and you’ll be taken through to a brand new and very large area. Your goal is to head down to the lower levels. As low as you can go essentially and then you’ll head deeper in.

The path is linear once you get down to the lower levels and you will end up at the Giant Exo.

3. Vex Kills With Swords

Destiny 2 Lament Quest Steps

This next step is quite easy. All you need to do is kill a bunch of Vex with swords. Some players have reported the Minotaur, Hydra, and Cyclops step as bugged and only red bar Minotaur kills are counting. Keep that in mind if you feel like the counter for that step is going up slower than it should.

There are two ways you can complete this step. You could spam the Perdition Lost Sector over and over, or, you could look for a Spire Integration public event on either Europa or Nessus. This will spawn a ton of Vex and Minotaurs for you to kill.
