History of Vessel of the Nine

Overview

Vessel of the Nine is a world quest from The Edge of Fate that follows Lodi, who is being plagued by a strange voice. It starts at the Aionian Academy entrance on Kepler by interacting with Lodi's journal on a table. Expect roughly 20-30 minutes. If it does not track, select it manually from the Quest tab. Game Rant recommends doing it early for story context.

Walkthrough

1. Pick up Lodi's journal near the Aionian Academy entrance. Then use the fast travel point at the Aionian Campus; Lodi's channel is overloaded with interference, so find a clearer signal and contact him.
2. In the first area, defeat the Vex and Fallen while Lodi speaks, then inspect the House of Exile corpses coated in strange energy (the "slime" or Dark Matter source). The first is behind the large filter tank on the left of the courtyard near the locked campus door.
3. Open the locked door by shooting the generators and using the panel. Move through the corridor, kill enemies, and inspect the second set of bodies next to the wrapped containers.
4. In the third area, destroy the generators tied to the next door by yellow wires, then proceed.
5. In the final chamber, clear the enemies and drop to the bottom level. Inspect the bodies beside the central structure, below the ramp (near a locked Kepler chest).
6. Locate the signal on the round magnetic crane holding an engine, almost directly above the last source. Climb the broken wall panels on the left, jump to the crane and interact with the glowing symbol to resonate the energy point and draw out the Archon.

Shacknews notes bugs with quest markers appearing randomly.

Rewards

Game Rant reports a Kepler destination weapon and Fated Ciphers for decoding. Other sources were not checked on this, so verify in game.

Trivia

• The in-game step names reference an Archon and contact with the Nine's influence on Lodi.
