Destiny 2: How to Get Gjallarhorn (And Out Fly the Wolves)

Destiny 2’s Bungie 30th Anniversary Event has brought with it a heaping of new weapons and armor. Xur is heavily involved, so obviously, exotics are going to be on the menu as well during this event. However, the main course has to obviously be the return of Gjallarhorn, perhaps the most overpowered and famous weapon in Destiny history. In this guide, we’ll go over how to complete And Out Fly the Wolves, the exotic quest that will allow you to get Gjallarhorn.

How to Get Gjallarhorn in Destiny 2 – And Out Fly the Wolves

While Out Fly the Wolves is a bit longer than completing Magnum Opus for Forerunner, it’s not a super hard quest either, you’ll just need to team up with a few buddies. That’s because the first step, after speaking with Shaw Han (remember him?) and getting the quest going, is to complete the new dungeon Grasp of Avarice.

Grasp of Avarice is a very fun new dungeon that requires two other people to complete it with. Dungeons generally aren’t as difficult as raids but it does require some knowledge of mechanics, teamwork, and generally higher-level play than you would need in Strikes to complete.

KackisHD was among the first to produce a video guide for Grasp of Avarice. You should definitely check out his video guide below if you and your team are having trouble getting through it. We don’t want to spoil it dungeon for you here, so after you’ve done that, though, here’s everything else you’ll need to do.

Return to Shaw Han with the Wolfpack Pack round that you found and he’ll ask you to find some more that drop off of powerful Fallen (majors and ultras). Any will do, so feel free to farm them anywhere. Public events that spawn lots of majors such as Glimmer Extraction are probably your best bet.

After that, you’ll need to return to Shaw Han again (get used to that) who will waste your time by sending you over to Banshee-44. OK then. After that, you’ll need to just complete the Exodus 2A lost sector on the Cosmodrome. No tricks or anything here, just beat the boss, loot the final chest and you’ll advance the quest.

Go back to Shaw Han yet again, and directly in front of him (where he is facing) there is a small area where you can pop in and assemble the Gjallarhorn. It’s not completely assembled yet, though. You’ll need to talk to Shaw Han, one final time to finally get the completed weapon. Sadly you can’t blast Shaw Han with it.

To recap, here’s how to get Gjallarhorn in Destiny 2’s Bungie 30th anniversary event:

Time needed: 2 hours
