’Dual Destiny’ Feathers of Light
The six Feathers of Light found in the ’Dual Destiny’ secret Exotic mission are among the most challenging to collect in Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Unlike the other 49 feathers scattered throughout the Pale Heart, these can only be obtained within the Dual Destiny mission, which requires a fireteam of two and cannot be completed solo. Each feather is hidden in distinct locations throughout the mission, often requiring careful exploration and teamwork to access. Collecting these feathers is essential for completing the Flock Together Triumph and progressing toward the Transcendent seal, making them a critical objective for completionists aiming to unlock all rewards in The Final Shape expansion.
Six feathers are found in the “Dual Destiny” mission, which must be launched with a partner.
’Dual Destiny’ feather one
After you first load into the mission and head outside, the first feather is in a small cave right below where you first emerge into The Refraction area.
’Dual Destiny’ feather two
In the same area as the first feather, the second feather is just over the ledge to the left of the exit to the open area, just before where you need to stand on two opposite plates to lower the shield and progress.
’Dual Destiny’ feather three
The third feather is in the jumping puzzle after the first encounter where you kill the knights to collect their motes to read the symbols. About halfway through the jumping puzzle, the area color will shift from green to red. Once you enter the red room, there is a small ledge on the right side, jump down and collect the third feather from the small room attached to that ledge.
’Dual Destiny’ feather four
The fourth feather is right before the second encounter, where you have to disable the cruxes. Once you reach the end, where both players are needed to open the door, turn around. The feather is right above the second-to-last darkness plate, which you can reach by using the small ledges around that plate.
’Dual Destiny’ feather five
The fifth feather is located after the second encounter. When you reach a large open room filled with trees, you’re in the right spot. Just before you exit the room, where you would go through the bright red doorway (shown above), turn to the right. The feather is deep within the branches of the tree. It is very dark in the corner, but there is a platform below the feather, even if you can’t see it.
’Dual Destiny’ feather six
The sixth and final feather is located on the bottom of the last platform of the launchpad section directly before being launched into the final encounter room. Go to the right side of the platform and use the roots to travel below. Once below, the feather will be just ahead of you.
