Unlocking the full potential of Destiny 2’s Wish-Keeper Exotic Bow just got a cosmic upgrade. Dive into the Constellation Wish quest, where shooting stars with the Wish-Keeper reveals hidden constellations across the Dreaming City and the Starcrossed mission. Complete these celestial puzzles and conquer the mission on Legend difficulty to claim powerful new Wish-Keeper Catalysts that redefine your crowd-control arsenal. Ready your bow and aim for the stars-your journey to unlocking these stellar upgrades begins now.
In each of these quests, you’ll need to find a location in a patrol zone or in the “Starcrossed” mission and use the Wish-Keeper bow to create constellations by shooting the stars. You’ll then need to complete the “Starcrossed” mission on the Legend difficulty either solo or in a group.
In this Destiny 2 guide, we’ll teach you how to complete the “Constellation” missions in Destiny 2 so you can pick up the Enduring Snare, Multi-Threaded Snare, Vorpal Weapon, and Hatchling Catalysts for the Wish-Keeper bow.
Constellation: Tower (Enduring Snare Refit)
The Constellation: Tower (Enduring Snare Refit) quest in Destiny 2 is the first step to unlocking the Enduring Snare Catalyst for the Wish-Keeper Exotic bow. To complete it, players must enter the Starcrossed mission on Legend difficulty and, upon reaching the first open area, head to a tall rocky outcrop near a bridge leading to the Taken Gate. There, interact with a beam of light to reveal stars in the sky, then shoot these stars with the Wish-Keeper bow to form the Tower constellation. Completing this step and finishing the mission on Legend difficulty rewards the Enduring Snare Catalyst, which extends the duration of the traps set by Wish-Keeper.
When you reach the first outdoor area in the “Starcrossed” mission on Legend, move forward and look to your right. You’ll find a large, green rock. If you look closely at the top, you’ll see a white pillar of light shooting up. Jump over to the big green rock and jump behind it. Use the natural parts of the cliff to scale the rock until you reach the top.
Once you make it to the top of the rock, walk over to the white pillar of light and interact with it. The pillar will shoot a beam into the sky and, if you follow it, you’ll see a star. Use the Wish-Keeper bow to shoot the star, which will cause more stars to appear. Keep shooting the stars to connect the dots and create the Tower constellation.
Once the set of stars is complete, you’ll need to complete the “Starcrossed” mission on the Legend difficulty to earn the first Catalyst, which grants the bow the Enduring Snare buff, which causes Snareweaver traps to last longer.
Constellation: Lock (Multi-Threaded Snare Refit)
The “Constellation: Lock (Multi-Threaded Snare Refit)” quest in Destiny 2 requires players to head to the Dreaming City’s Spine of Keres area, specifically near the Divalian Mists. Players must locate a pillar of white light atop a distant rock, clear out nearby Taken enemies, and then shoot stars in the sky with the Wish-Keeper Exotic bow to form the Lock constellation. After completing this step, the quest directs players to finish the Starcrossed mission on Legend difficulty to unlock the Multi-Threaded Snare Refit Catalyst. This catalyst enhances the Wish-Keeper bow by allowing it to trap more targets with its Snareweaver traps, significantly boosting its crowd control capabilities.
This Catalyst quest doesn’t actually need you to go inside the “Starcrossed” mission until the final step. Instead, once you talk to Mara, she’ll ask you to go to the Dreaming City.
Once you land in the Divalian Mists, keep left and follow the path to the Spine of Keres (the westernmost part of the map). Head to the spine, but stop before you reach the giant cathedral that houses the Oracle Engine. Instead, when you reach the courtyard before the Oracle Engine, head left and up the cliff.
After you climb up a bit, look left for a distant, tall rock. At the top of the rock, you should see another pillar of white light. Clear out the Taken enemies in the area to stop them from shooting at you, and then climb up. At the top of the rock, interact with the light and then shoot the stars in the sky to make the Lock constellation.
Once you’ve made the constellation, the quest will ask you to complete the “Starcrossed” mission on Legend difficulty, which will give you the Wish-Keeper’s second Catalyst: Multi-Threaded Snare Refit. The second Catalyst grants Wish-Keeper the Multi-Threaded Snare buff, which allows it to trap even more targets in Snareweaver traps.
Constellation: Pair (Vorpal Weapon Refit)
The Constellation: Pair (Vorpal Weapon Refit) quest in Destiny 2 is part of the Constellation Wish series that unlocks one of the four unique Wish-Keeper bow catalysts. To complete it, players must locate a hidden area just after the second encounter in the Starcrossed mission on Legend difficulty. After navigating a jumping section inside a chasm, they will find an orange buff pool; from there, hugging the wall to the right leads to a concealed hole where the Constellation Pair message appears. Shooting all the stars in this constellation with the Wish-Keeper bow reveals the pattern, and finishing the Starcrossed mission on Legend difficulty afterward unlocks the Vorpal Weapon catalyst. This catalyst enhances the Wish-Keeper by increasing its damage by 20% against bosses, vehicles, and Guardians using their Super, making it especially effective in both PvE and PvP scenarios.
When you pick up the Constellation: Pair Catalyst quest from Mara, it’ll tell you to launch the “Starcrossed” mission on the Legend difficulty. Once you do, the objective will change, telling you to travel to the Roost area to find the celestial anomaly.
Continue through the “Starcrossed” mission until you complete the second encounter and make it through the jumping puzzle afterwards. Once you reach the area with the large grey walls and the green grass, continue into the next room and you’ll find a puddle that has Dam’s Gift inside it.
From the Dam’s Gift, move foreword and turn left instead of right. You’ll see a small gap between the stone walls. Walk into it and then turn right. Crawl through the tunnel until you reach a small, circular room surrounded in red flowers. Here, you’ll find the pillar of light. Activate it to reveal the message.
Once you reveal the message, pull out your Wish-Keeper bow and aim it at the sky. Shoot the stars with the bow until you finish the constellation of the two Ahamkara dragons. Once you’ve seen the constellation, exit the hidden area and finish the “Starcrossed” mission on the Legend difficulty to get your Vorpal Weapon Catalyst. Like with all weapons, the Vorpal Weapon perk causes your Wish-Keeper to deal increased damage to bosses, vehicles, and Guardians in their Super.
Constellation: Wish (Hatchling Retrofit)
The “Constellation: Wish (Hatchling Retrofit)” quest in Destiny 2 involves locating a celestial anomaly in the Gardens of Esila within the Dreaming City. Players must activate this anomaly and use the Wish-Keeper bow to shoot stars, revealing the constellation. Completing this step updates the quest to require finishing the Starcrossed mission on Legend difficulty. Successfully doing so unlocks the Hatchling Refit catalyst for the Wish-Keeper bow, which grants the powerful Hatchling perk that generates threadlings on each precision final blow, enhancing synergy with Strand builds and making it an excellent upgrade for precision-focused players.
Constellation: Wish is the final Catalyst quest you’ll get from Mara for the Wish-Keeper bow. Once you grab it from her in the HELM, you’ll need to head down to the Dreaming City to find the Constellation in the Garden of Esila.
If you’re unfamiliar about how to get to the Garden of Esila – since there are no sub-zones on this location’s map – land on the Dreaming City, head toward The Strand, and turn right instead of heading into the public event area. Follow the path up the hill and go through the doorway. Eventually, you’ll reach the Garden of Esila.
Once you reach the Garden, you’ll need to find the message so you can activate the Constellation. Head through the atrium at the start of the Garden and immediately take a look left for a big rock. If you find yourself looking around the waterfall or under the big bridge in the Garden, you’ve gone too far.
Activate the message – which is on the northern side of the rock – and look up into the sky. Shoot the stars to create the Constellation and progress the quest. With the Constellation complete, head into the Legend version of the “Starcrossed” mission and complete it to collect the Hatchling Catalyst and finally finish your Wish-Keeper bow.
How can I unlock the Wish-Keeper Catalyst in Destiny 2 quickly
To unlock the Wish-Keeper Catalysts quickly in Destiny 2, follow these key steps:
-
First, acquire the Wish-Keeper bow and speak to Mara Sov at the HELM to receive the four Constellation quests related to the Starcrossed mission.
-
Progress so that all four Constellation quests are on the same step in your journal; this allows you to complete all catalyst quests in a single run of the Starcrossed mission on Legend (Expert) difficulty.
-
During the Starcrossed mission, locate and shoot the constellation anomalies with the Wish-Keeper bow to reveal the constellations. These are found in specific areas such as near the Taken Gate early in the mission and the Spine of Keres in the Dreaming City.
-
After revealing all constellations, complete the Starcrossed mission on Legend difficulty once. This run will unlock all four Wish-Keeper Catalysts simultaneously, saving multiple runs.
-
Once unlocked, craft the catalysts through the Enclave on Mars and farm several hundred weapon kills to fully activate each catalyst. Efficient farming spots include the Shuro Chi encounter in the Last Wish raid or the opening section of Grasp of Avarice.
In summary, to unlock the Wish-Keeper Catalysts quickly, align all constellation quests, reveal the constellations in one Starcrossed Legend run, complete the mission, then farm kills to upgrade the catalysts. This method minimizes the number of mission runs needed and speeds up catalyst acquisition.
