History of Exalting the Flame

Exalting the Flame is an Exotic quest that introduces the Guardian to the Solar subclass and rewards one Solar-themed Exotic armor piece for your class plus the Legendary grenade launcher Cry Mutiny.

Overview

• Given by: Ikora Rey in the Tower Bazaar (The Tower).
• Finish with: Banshee-44 in the Tower Courtyard.
• Length: nine steps: ability and Scorch kills, a boss kill, grenade purchases, meditation, and one graded Solo Op.
• Exotic by class: Titan gets Synthoceps, Hunter gets Young Ahamkara's Spine, Warlock gets Starfire Protocol.

Walkthrough

1. Speak with Ikora Rey in the Tower Bazaar.
2. With a Solar subclass equipped, defeat 120 targets affected by Scorch, defeat 40 targets with abilities and cast your Super 3 times. Use abilities, Aspects, Fragments or gear with the Scorch keyword; the Ember of Char Fragment spreads Scorch on Solar Ignitions.
3. Defeat a strong adversary (a boss) in any Ops activity with your Solar subclass.
4. Buy the Tripmine Grenade and Fusion Grenade from Ikora Rey.
5. Meditate at the device next to Ikora to learn the new ability.
6. Speak with Ikora Rey again to receive your Exotic armor.
7. Equip your Solar subclass and the new Exotic. It can be reacquired from Collections if lost.
8. Complete any Solo Ops activity on Advanced difficulty or higher with a grade of B or better, with Solar and the new Exotic equipped.
9. Speak with Banshee-44 in the Tower Courtyard.

Rewards

• Starfire Protocol, Synthoceps or Young Ahamkara's Spine (by class).
• Cry Mutiny (Legendary grenade launcher).

Version note

Older guides (Season of the Deep, Season 21) list step 3 as the Skydock IV Lost Sector in the EDZ and step 8 as The Arms Dealer strike. The current in-game steps use an Ops boss kill and an Advanced Solo Op instead. Prefer the in-game text. Game Rant says Skydock IV has no Champions, which only applies to the older version.
