How to Get and Complete All Exotic Quests in Destiny 2
Destiny 2: Warmind – Sleeper Simulant
Once you complete the main campaign of Destiny 2: Warmind, you’ll be rewarded with the IKELOS Hand Cannon, this is going to be your buddy for a while as you’ll have to complete a lot of objectives with it.
First, visit Ana Bray to begin the quest, and then you’ll need kill Cabal and Hive with the IKELOS. Next, kill powerful enemies with the IKELOS equipped. These are any enemies that have an orange health bar, or bosses. Then, you need to complete strikes with the hand cannon equipped. Just hop into the Vanguard Strike playlist and bang them out. After that it gets a bit tricker.
You’ll need to complete through level 3 of escalation protocol, which can be tricky if your team isn’t very good. Keep lurking around Mars and you’ll eventually get it.
Then, you need to find 15 sleeper nodes and use the correct override frequencies to crack them open. You will need four Resonate Stems to create each individual override frequencies which are best farmed by completing patrols on Mars. This is by far the most time consuming part of the exotic quest.
Finally, you’ll unlock a 360 version of the final mission of the Warmind campaign, beat it, and the Sleeper Simulant is finally yours.

Destiny 2: Warmind – Worldline Zero
Aside from the Sleeper Simulant, there are two other Exotics you can get your hands on in Warmind. One is an Exotic sword called the Worldline Zero. To get the Worldline zero, you need to collect Lost Memory Fragments on Mars. It is a bear to complete and will take you a boatload of time and effort. We’ve got a guide to help you out with all the Fragment locations, if you’re going to truck on through for the sword anyway.
When you get to each Fragment, you’ll need to shoot it with different elemental weapons, depending on what color it’s glowing. White = Kinetic, orange = Solar, purple = Void, blue = Arc, and red = Valkyrie javelin. You need to get at least 35 Fragments to unlock the Exotic sword Worldline Zero. If you get all 45, you’ll get the Sparrow.

Destiny 2: Warmind – Polaris Lance
To get started on the Polaris Lance exotic quest, Nascent Dawn, you will need to have completed the Warmind campaign and the world quests as well. This will begin the exotic quest after talking to Ana Bray after doing all that.
Nascent Dawn is split up into five different parts, here is how to complete all of the steps for it.
Step 1: Complete three patrol missions, one lost sector, and locate the sleeper node in Dynamo Approach (you will hear Rasputin’s classical music when you’re close). Do all that and return to Ana Bray for part 2.
Step 2: Get 25 kills with the Javelin, complete the Psionic Potential Heroic Adventure, find the sleeper node in the Ma’adim Subterrane Lost Sector. Go back to Ana Bray again for another task.
Step 3: Complete 10 total levels of Escalation Protocol. Unlike the Sleeper Simulant quest, just clearing the first wave over and over will suffice. Complete three Vanguard Strike playlist strikes. Find the sleeper node in Olympus Descent. Back to Ana!
Step 4: Using the new scout rifle you have as a reward from Ana, get five precision multi-kills without reloading as well as 20 total scout rifle kills. Then, complete the now reappeared Fury mission on Io. Finally, find the sleeper node in Mindlab Rasputin.
After completing these four steps and returning to Ana one last time, you’ll have your Polaris Lance finally.
However, an optional step 5 will grant you its catalyst and complete the exotic quest. Here’s how to do that final step
Step 5: Get 15 Javelin multi-kills. Complete three matches in the Crucible, beat the now reappeared Strange Terrain mission, and find the sleeper node in Alton Dynamo.
Destiny 2: Warmind – Whisper of the Worm
Whisper of the Worm is an exotic Sniper Rifle that consumes power ammo and is in the power ammo slot and will pull ammo from reserves on consecutive precision shots to allow you to continue firing.
The Whisper of the Worm exotic quest is tipped off via The Whisper legendary quest that will appear in your inventory.
What you need to do is go to Io’s landing zone in the Lost Oasis and wait for a public event to spawn.
After this event is over, a Taken boss enemy will appear near the Grove of Ulan-Tan Lost Sector. Defeat it, and a Taken portal will appear. Going through it will take you into a new area and a timer will begin.
You have 20 minutes to complete a difficult encounter that will challenge you with challenging platforming and combat sections. If you can complete the challenge in time, you’ll be rewarded with Whisper of the Worm.
We highly suggest bringing a team of three and watching a video guide from your favorite YouTuber/Streamer of choice. If you can find a Sherpa that knows what they are doing that’s even better, but going in blind and/or solo will certainly lead to failure unless you’re a Destiny 2 god. So hit up the LFG app and find a group.
