Destiny 2 Presage Guide: how to start the voice from the other side Exotic Quest for Dead Man’s Tale

by

It’s only the second week of Destiny 2’s Season of the Chosen, and there is already a new Exotic weapon for players to pursue on a hidden Exotic mission. Here’s what you need to find the Presage mission and start earning Dead Man’s Tale, a new Exotic explorer rifle.

Your journey begins with this week’s Nightfall: The Ordeal Strike, The Arms Dealer. You will need to press the mission to find the way to start Presage, so you will want to increase your Power level to at least 1230 to make things easier for you. The mission you want to unlock, Presage, also has a recommended energy level of 1230, so keep that in mind before you start.

How to Find the Exotic Pressage Mission

Play The Arms Dealer In Nightfall: The Ordeal

You’ll need to start The Arms Dealer, this week’s Nightfall: The Ordeal Strike, but the good news is that you don’t have to finish Strike or play it hard to find what you’re looking for.

Start the mission and enter the first room, a Cabal installation where you will fight a handful of enemies. Normally, you would use Ghost to hack a console and open the door at the end of the room, which leads out. Instead, look for another newly opened door near the table with the big hologram on it. This takes you to another large, deeper corridor in the facility, and the path is full of towers.

Look for the door just behind the hologram table in The Arms Dealer's first room; do not go to the left and cut the door normally.

Find the distress signal

Make your way down the corridor to the end and you’ll exit outside, but this time, on a couple of airstrips. A Major Cabal Phalanx named Than’grot, Loyal to Caiatl, blocks the path here, as well as a few more towers. Shoot them all to make your way to the airstrips.

You will see a few more towers as you move away from the facility. Jump to the furthest landing platform and look for a large gray box. Interact with him to receive a Cabal distress signal datapad in his inventory. You can check out some of the backstory.

Keep pushing out on the airstrips, passing more defenses, to find a box with the distress signal inside you need to proceed to the Presage mission.

Back to Zavala

At this point, you have completed The Arms Dealer and can finish the Strike normally or just go into orbit. Go back to the Tower and talk to Zavala. After obtaining a summary of the situation, you will unlock a new mission on the Director’s Tangled Shore map. Look at the top of the screen for the Presage mission.

We will update this guide with more information as we find it, so stay tuned!
