If you’re wondering how to get the Destiny 2 Mote of Light, you’ve come to the right place! Destiny’s highly anticipated expansion, The Final Shape, welcomes players with brand-new missions.
We previously told you that Sony leaked The Final Shape expansion before its release, and many players were able to access It before the release date.
As for the aforementioned missions, most of them focus on the Light, Raid, and Dungeon mechanics and start appearing early in the expansion. The second quest, in particular, titled “Exegesis”, asks players to use the Light and Dark Motes to solve a series of puzzles. What you learn in this mission will come in handy later on!
How to get Destiny 2 Mote of Light?
To obtain Light Motes, you must defeat Hive Knights with the Relic’s Light or Heavy attacks. The Relic is a shield made of light energy that you’ll encounter early in the game. This item is critical not only for generating Light Motes but also for surviving later encounters.
As mentioned above, you must find and destroy a Hive Knight called the Eater of Light and Darkness after equipping the Relic. Once this enemy is dead, three Light motes will appear. You can collect these motes immediately or automatically by walking over them. When you collect all three, a 30-second timer will start on the left side of your screen. You need to use the motes before this time runs out.
Dark Motes: Unleash darkness with your firepower
To obtain Dark Motes, simply defeat an Eater of Light and Darkness with any energy-type weapon. When the enemy dies, Dark Motes will be revealed. The collection process is the same as for Light Motes: Walk over them to collect three and keep the 30-second timer in mind.
Team play also plays an important role in this mission. One player can collect Dark Motes, while the other can collect Light Motes. If your character is full of one type of motif, he cannot get motes of the other type. Therefore, avoid collecting motes of other types before using the motes you have.
The Final Shape expansion breathes new life into the Destiny 2 universe. Light and Dark Motes will be important in helping players explore this new world and overcome challenges. Utilize these motes skillfully to unlock the unique experience that The Final Shape has to offer!
