Destiny 2 - Bright Future Quest Guide and Leaks

We have written this guide to help you complete the Bright future which will bring you one step closer (and Fractaline) to shed light on the content that will be presented in Season of the Worthy.

Before starting the Bright Future quest, make sure you have completed the following:

• If you haven't yet activated the Obelisk on The Tower, start here.
• If you still need to build your obelisks on the EDZ, Mars, Nessus, and / or The Tangled Shore, you should visit here.
• Important note: Don't start donating to the Tower Obelisk until you've increased the Resonant Power of the other four Obelisks to a minimum Rank of 11, which is the level they cap on Fractal Boosting Rewards. However, the more you improve them, the higher the resonant power of your Tower Obelisk (and the returns of polarized fractals) will be. This guide details the most efficient way to upgrade them.

Once all of the above prerequisites have been met, you will be able to proceed to the Empyrean Foundation event.

Bright Future Quest

Primer

Head to the tower and talk to Saint-14. He will give you the Bright future after explaining that you will need to retrieve the core of the Sundial Obelisk, which is anchored to another timeline. The next step in the quest will be Heart of the sun.

Heart of the Sun

• Head to Mercury and charge up a sundial race.
• At the end of the race, kill the Psion Flayer, Inotam (Oblivion's Triune), which will abandon the Brighten up the heart quest step.
• When you exit the Sundial Arena, choose your Timelost rewards from the Sundial Obelisk.

Brighten up the heart

• This quest step requires you to collect 30 Orbs of Light and can be completed virtually anywhere there are enemies.
• Equip a Masterpiece Weapon and head to a location that has enemies circulating on a regular basis, like a strike, a public event, or anywhere you have a quest to complete, especially if it's a Saint-14 quest which guarantees a moderate Fractal harvest (50 Polarized Fractaline), or a weekly bounty from one of the obelisks which will give you a major Fractaline harvest (100 Polarized Fractaline).
• Once you collect all 30 Light Orbs, you will receive the Light Infused Core and the Lantern in the dark quest step.

Lantern in the dark

• Return to the tower.
• Insert the light-infused core into The Tower Obelisk, where you will receive a message describing The Tower Obelisk's role as a conduit for the other obelisks. During the remainder of the event, you can increase the resonant power of the Tower Obelisk, which generates "energy for a still unknown goalBy improving the resonance ranks of other obelisks.
  • It seems that the data mines were right from the start ... this "as yet unknown goal" hiding under the guise of Lantern in the dark the quest step couldn't be more visible. It is safe to say that the rumors are true.
• After inserting the light infused core, you will receive the Pharos link quest step.

• Return to Mercury.
• Report to Osiris at the sundial with the news of your progress.

After speaking with Osiris, return to the tower and check the obelisk. You will see a Light fused fractionalin which you can purchase for 20 Glow and 000 Legendary Shards, which you can use to level up an obelisk of your choice by an entire resonance rank. The future is of course ringing for gamers.
