Forge Quests
Currently in progress. List of all quests I set it to read only for everybody but me. If anybody has extra information on quests on the current list, let me know. I'm going through all quests methodically. They take some long-winded and grind-y quests to unlock. Forges are fun, however. They're wave-based.
Over the last week, players have been hunting for keys to unlock an item called the Mysterious Box in: Black Armory. The box is a quest which leads to the Izanagi’s Burden, a sniper rifle. But getting through the quest is the only real burden. There are quite a few steps standing in the way of you and your fancy new sniper. That’s where we come in.Heads-up: If you randomly get a rare bounty from Ada-1 — they drop from her normal, daily bounties and reward powerful gear — complete the objective and then hold onto it. You’ll need to turn one in for a quest step, so it’ll be very useful to have one banked at that point. Table of contents.Finding the Mysterious BoxThe easiest part of this quest is finding the Mysterious Box, the quest item that you’ll shove all your keys into.Once you start Black Armory and gain access to the Volundr forge, walk into the arena, jump over the bridge and immediately do a 180.
Grow up plan. Follow the path down the rocks to a small cave next to the ravine. Walk in and you’ll find a small Black Armory box. Open it to receive the Mysterious Box.
Bungie via Polygon Finding the first three keysGreat job! You found the box. This is where things get a bit tougher if you’re trying to do this all by your lonesome. The Mysterious Box requires four keys to be inserted into it. The first three keys are in the first three forges.
The fourth and final key is a bit more complex, so we’ll save it for its own section. Volundr key locationsSince you’re already here, jump into the Volundr forge.Complete the first wave like normal, and get ready to spring into action with a longish range weapon — a sniper or scout will do just fine. Between waves, two shield drones will spawn on either side of the arena.The first drone is on the left side facing the forge, floating around on the far left tree in the distant island. Bungie via PolygonThe second is in the cave area to the right of the forge, floating around on the ceiling near some stalactites. Bungie via PolygonOnce you’ve killed both drones, you should see a Maximum Temper buff on the lefthand side of the screen. Complete the rest of the forge like normal. When you kill the boss, you’ll notice that a Black Armory box has dropped near the forge.
Open it to receive your first key.Interact with the key in your inventory to slot it into the lock on your Mysterious Box. Gofannon keyThis key is probably the easiest to get on your own. Set yourself up with the same weapons as you did in Volundr. Between the first and second wave, stand around the crashed ship at the very back of the arena.One shield drone will be floating around in the skeleton of the ship. Bungie via PolygonThe second is to your left if you’re looking at the ship, floating around a pillar sticking out of the ground.
Bungie via PolygonAfter getting the Maximum Temper buff, collect your key from the box just like last time. Izanami keyTo get this key on your own, you’ll definitely need a sniper rifle. After the first wave, as you’re looking back at the entrance to the forge, position yourself on the island on the right.Drone one is on the island you’re standing on. Look toward the forge and you’ll see a small pillar poking out that’ll have the drone floating around it.
Bungie via PolygonDrone two is across the vast pit, and is floating around a darker pillar farther away from the edge, close to the cave entrance to the arena.
