Gathering Destiny 2 Memory Vestiges is one of the ways you can get more Prismatic Fragments, but you need to find multiple to combine them into a useful Memory. The Light and Darkness types are obtained differently, but if you’re after an easy way of getting both, the Alone in the Dark quest is easily you’re best option since it gets you to complete the necessary activities in the Pale Heart as you playDestiny 2 The Final Shape. If you want to know how these Memory Vestiges work, here’s what you need to know about finding and combining them into completed Memories.

Where to get Memory Vestiges in Destiny 2

Memory Vestiges, both Light and Darkness flavors, work in the same way, but you get them from different sources inDestiny 2:

Both types can be easily gathered by completing theDestiny 2 Alone in the Darkquest, which you can replay infinitely to get rewards. The quest involves Overthrow, which is a good opportunity to find corrupted chests for Memory Vestiges: Darkness, and then you can get Memory Vestiges: Light during the Cyst. You can easily get nineDestiny 2 Lost Encryption Bitsby finding all the Region Chests while completing Overthrow, then look for the final six bits hidden in each Cyst.

As mentioned, collecting five of the same type of Vestige causes them to automatically combine into a completed Memory that’s related to a particular region in the Pale Heart. This reveals a search area for that region on your map that leads to a chest containing oneDestiny 2 Prismatic Fragment– check out this guide to see where exactly all the Prismatic reward chests are.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, repeating Memories provides no other rewards. Furthermore, you can have only one Light Memory and one Darkness Memory in your inventory at once, otherwise your Vestiges won’t combine.© GamesRadar+. Not to be reproduced without permission.
