History of The Lament

Revision 14887 by d2-exotics at 2026-10-09 05:24:37

Acquisition

The Lament is a Solar Exotic Sword (chainsaw-style) obtained only from the Lost Lament quest, started by Banshee-44 in the Tower once you have finished Destiny 2: Beyond Light. Full steps are on the Lost Lament page. At the time the sources were written it was not available from engram focusing or a vendor; check the Exotic Kiosk / Monument status in game if you lose it.

Perks

Per Shacknews and Hold to Reset: Banshee's Wail (hold guard to rev the blade for extra damage and shield piercing, building stacks for stronger heavy attacks) and Revved Consumption (damaging a combatant heals you). Light attacks before a heavy build stacks.

Catalyst

Added in June 2026. PC Gamer’s June 10, 2026 guide lists Burning Ambition and says the catalyst is likely from Vanguard Ops, Crucible, Gambit, or Exotic Order payouts in the Seasonal Hub. The guide describes this source as likely; a later route was not independently confirmed. Complete the catalyst’s in-game target-defeat objective to unlock it.
