Understanding the Blessings of the Traveler in Destiny 2’s The Final Shape

Destiny 2’s latest expansion, The Final Shape, marks the end of the Light & Darkness Saga and introduces players to new mechanics like the Traveler’s Blessings.

D2’s Traveler’s Blessings are Destination Mods that can be obtained by players while exploring the Pale Heart.

As this is a new feature, it’s important to have a clear understanding of what Traveler’s Blessings entail. With that in mind, we have put together an overview of how they function and what they represent in Destiny 2: The Finale Shape.

Unlike the mods used for Armor or Weapons, these Destination Mods have a unique purpose. Instead of modifying damage or defense, the Traveler’s Blessings directly impact the Pale Heart itself.

Essentially, these are beneficial enhancements that can give you an advantage while participating in various tasks in the unfamiliar area. Additionally, each enhancement is temporary.

Unlike other mods that have a permanent effect, Traveler’s Blessings only have a temporary impact, as none of them endure for more than 27 hours.

There are a pair of Traveler’s Blessings available: Flickering Blessings and Pale Blessings. Each one requires unique actions to unlock.

The following are places where Flickering Blessings can be collected:

  • Cyst chests
  • Lost Sector chests
  • Overthrow Level 2 & Level 3 encounter chests
  • Pathfinder Field Assignments chests
  • Triage chests

Acquiring Pale Blessings may prove to be more challenging, as it entails completing all levels of the Overthrow activity within one of The Pale Heart’s zones. Upon successful completion, a Luminescent Seed will be awarded, which can then be planted in any of the hand sculptures found throughout The Pale Heart.

This seed will eventually blossom into a Traveler’s Flower, which grants access to the Pale Blessing when interacted with.

In the Director, you have the ability to activate the heading you desire for the Map. A new option will be available next to the Pathfinder icon.
