The Secrets of ‘Starcrossed’
The latest addition to Destiny 2, the ‘Starcrossed’ mission, invites players to delve into the Black Garden alongside Riven and Crow. Here, guardians face a legion of Vex to claim the new Strand Exotic bow: Wish-Keeper. This coveted weapon, unique for its ability to deploy a Suspending trap after a series of kills or precision hits, also plays a vital role in connecting the stars in the Constellation quests.

How to Navigate the ‘Starcrossed’ Mission
Embarking on the ‘Starcrossed’ mission is less about the path you take and more about mastering its mechanics: Sire’s Obligation, Dam’s Gift, and Crowned by Dragons. Each offers unique abilities that are crucial to advancing through the mission and overcoming its challenges.
Sire’s Obligation: Unlocking the Path Forward
Sire’s Obligation, a buff obtained from blue pools among flowers, is key to damaging Obdurate enemies and deciphering the Last Wish symbols. Guardians must defeat enemies in a specific sequence to progress, making this buff an essential part of the mission strategy.
Dam’s Gift: Traversing the Orange Mist
Dam’s Gift, emanating from red puddles among flowers, is your safeguard against the lethal orange mist encountered in the mission. This buff allows safe passage and is necessary to engage and defeat Gatekeeper Wyverns, revealing Vex nodes crucial for progression.
Crowned by Dragons: The Final Combination
In the mission’s climax, players combine Sire’s Obligation and Dam’s Gift into Crowned by Dragons. This powerful buff enables guardians to damage Obdurate enemies, navigate orange mist, and ultimately unlock the sequence to open the final door.
Defeating Akardon, Pitiless Mind
The culmination of ‘Starcrossed’ pits guardians against Akardon, Pitiless Mind. With Crowned by Dragons, players can dismantle the Vex Hydra’s defenses, paving the way for a decisive and swift victory.
Discovering the ‘Starcrossed’ Secret Chests
‘Starcrossed’ isn’t just about combat; it’s also a treasure hunt. Each week, players can uncover secret chests offering valuable rewards and upgrades for the Wish-Keeper bow.
Secret Chest 1: The Initial Find
At the mission’s onset, players encounter the first secret chest hidden in a secluded alcove. This chest, while not offering intrinsic upgrades, provides a Season of the Undying weapon.
Secret Chest 2 & 3: Snareweaver Upgrades
The subsequent chests, located behind a waterfall and along a veiled path, offer more than just weapons. They are keys to upgrading the Wish-Keeper bow’s intrinsic perk, Snareweaver, enhancing its capabilities and opening up additional crafting options.
A New Saga in the Stars
The ‘Starcrossed’ mission in Destiny 2: Season of the Wish offers more than just a powerful weapon; it’s a journey of strategy, discovery, and triumph. As players master its mechanics and uncover its secrets, they not only strengthen their arsenal but also contribute to the rich, evolving tapestry of Destiny 2‘s universe. Whether you’re navigating through mists or decoding ancient symbols, ‘Starcrossed’ is a testament to the guardians’ enduring spirit and determination. Join the fray, claim the Wish-Keeper, and write your legend among the stars.
