In Destiny 2: Edge of Fate Mission 12 – Quarantine, your primary objective is to break the Vex-enforced quarantine around the Acceleron by defeating a powerful Vex Mind and recovering the strangelet capsule it guards. This high-stakes mission takes you through treacherous terrain, deadly traps, and relentless enemies to break the quarantine and secure your prize.
Start the Mission: Enter The Gorge
The main goal of this mission is to open the quarantine on Acceleron by defeating the Vex Mind controlling it and retrieving the strangelet capsule it holds. You first want to go to The Gorge. It is best to set your loadout for combat in preparation for heavy enemy presence. Your first objective once your mission starts inside the Assimilated Easement of Kepler is to breach the Conductor’s defenses. Here, activate the Matterspeak, supercharging yourself so you will have an easier time moving about the rocky terrain. The place is full of enemies, including Choral Hobgoblins, who must be defeated on the way. Eventually, you will come upon a spot with a small entrance; the place is full of running enemies. Clear the area to press on to your primary objective—breaking the quarantine.
Destroy the Lenses and Advance Through the Zone
To proceed with your objective, you’ll need to bring down a barrier by destroying two lenses. Activate Matterspeak again and exit the current area through a small, circular entrance that leads into another room filled with Choral Hobgoblins. This area also allows you to charge matter realignment using dark matter. Look for large, round lens-like structures, aim at them to make them float, then shoot at the center to destroy each one. Once both lenses are taken out, the barrier will fall, clearing the path toward your next milestone in breaking the quarantine.
With the lenses destroyed, exit the room and head into a new zone with greenish and yellowish surroundings, in contrast to the red hues of the previous area. Here, you’ll face laser traps blocking your way. Keep to your right, jump across the rocks, and prepare for a confrontation with the Uplifted Choral Hydra. Defeat it to move further into the quarantined zone.
Retrieve the Relocator and Bypass the Barrier
You’ll now need to push through the HCO structures, where you’ll encounter The Interred—a large and powerful enemy. Once it’s defeated, go backward from the location of the fight until you find a small circular door. Inside, you’ll face a few minor enemies and discover the relocator, which is essential for the next step.
With the relocator acquired, aim at the small satellite-like floating objects to disable the next barrier and open a new path. Your objective will then update to reaching the singularity. Matterspeak can help you navigate this part smoothly. Eventually, you’ll arrive at the Stellar Sink in Kepler, where breaking the quarantine takes center stage once again. The area is filled with hostile forces like the Uplifted Choral Wyvern and features broken pipes and a large, spinning circle structure.
Destroy the Disruptors and Final Quarantine Lockdown
To fully dismantle the quarantine, you must destroy three disruptors. The first two are fairly easy to locate near the spinning circle. For the third, enter a cave-like structure on your left, which will lead you to a new section where the last disruptor is hidden. Taking down all three brings down the final barrier, allowing you to descend deeper into Kepler.
Activate Matterspeak once again to drop into the Restricted Zone of Kepler. This is the final stage of your mission, so consider enhancing your defenses for the upcoming battle. You’ll face Pagida, Divided The Unknown Cipher, who stands in your way. Once defeated, destroy Pagida, the Choral Cage to complete your mission and officially break the quarantine—securing the Gorge strangelet capsule as your reward.
