\u201cMission Captis\u201d<\/strong> is the final main story mission for act 2 of Destiny 2<\/a>\u2019<\/em>s final episode, Heresy. But unlike most story missions in Destiny 2<\/em>, it\u2019s got a heavy puzzle element that can be quite tricky at the outset \u2014 even for the hive rune veterans out there.<\/p>\n

In this Destiny 2<\/em> guide, we\u2019ll walk you through how to launch the \u201cMission Captis\u201d mission and how to \u201ccomplete the binding\u201d<\/strong> to finish Eris\u2019 ritual. <\/p>\n

How to start \u2018Mission Captis\u2019 in Destiny 2<\/h2>\n

\u201cMission Captis\u201d comprises the 15th and 16th step (of 18 total) in the \u201cAct 2: Rites of the Deep\u201d quest for episode Heresy. You\u2019ll run into it eventually as you complete the previous week\u2019s stories, or it\u2019ll simply appear in your inventory if you\u2019ve already caught up on the previous week.<\/p>\n

To launch the mission, head to The Last City<\/strong> on the Director and look down by Eris\u2019 apartment (Variisis Core), where the rest of the Heresy activities live. You\u2019ll see a new node on the far right side of this area. Click it and then hit launch to start \u201cMission Captis.\u201d<\/p>\n

How to complete the binding in ‘Mission Captis’<\/h2>\n

The mission will drop you off in the Hall of Souls to start, and will mark the big portal as your destination. Head over there to trigger Eris, who will appear at the top of the stairs. After a brief chat, she\u2019ll ask you to stand on the plate in the middle of the room. Do it to trigger the fight.<\/p>\n

The Resonant Knife, First of the Reshaped (the season\u2019s big bad) will appear where Eris was and attempt to disrupt her ritual. Kill the Taken they summon, but avoid putting down any long-lasting area damage effects to save you some headache later. We also recommend using a weapon that has zero area effects \u2014 stay away from explosive payload, unraveling rounds, that sort of thing.<\/p>\n

Eventually, you\u2019ll get a notification that says \u201cThe Resonant Knife attempts to disrupt the ritual!\u201d<\/strong> This is your signifier that the main puzzle in this mission has begun. Stay in the arena, but back up to get some cover. You\u2019ll see a giant wall of Taken Acolyte\u2019s Eyes, and a Hive symbol over the portal. The idea here is that you want to make the symbol above the portal by destroying some of the Taken eyes and leaving others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This might sound like you need a degree in Destiny with a minor in Hive literature to put it all together, but there are two very simple tells that can help you solve this puzzle \u2014 as well as the two additional puzzles that come after:<\/p>\n
