Looking for Archie in Neomuna? This week in Destiny 2’s “Into the Light” quest, the beloved cyber canine has ventured into the neon-lit metropolis of Neomuna, leaving a trail of glowing pawprints for Guardians to follow. From Nimbus’ hoverboard outpost to the eerie Irkalla Complex and the lively Thrilladrome arcade, tracking Archie is a thrilling scavenger hunt across the city’s most iconic spots. Ready to uncover where this adventurous Exo dog is hiding and claim your exclusive rewards? Let’s dive into the ultimate guide to finding Archie in Neomuna.
Note this quest expires on the June 3weekly reset – a full day before The Final Shape launches on June 4. This is because Bungie will take Destiny 2 down for 24 hours ahead of the expansion.
Remember, provided you complete any Archie quest before the arrival of The Final Shape, you’ll get your hands on the Blue Steel shader, while the lore for all Archie quests will be available from June 4 on.
How to start ’Where in Neomuna is Archie?’ in Destiny 2
To start the “Where in Neomuna is Archie?” quest in Destiny 2, head to the Tower Annex outside Ada-1’s synthweave workshop and investigate the glowing paw prints on the steps nearby. After examining the paw prints, talk to Ada-1 to initiate the quest. She will then direct you to Nimbus in Neomuna at Strider’s Gate, where the search for Archie begins.
To start the final “Where is Archie” quest, head to the Tower’s Annex and find the paw prints.
You can reach this location by using the southwest-most fast travel point, then traveling straight ahead down the corridor. The paw prints will appear on the ledge to your right.
Investigate the prints and go talk to Ada-1 (found in the Annex proper opposite) to start the latest quest.
Now, head to Neomuna, and speak to Nimbus at Strider’s Gate. Once done, the search begins.
All Archie Neomuna locations
Archie can be found at four key locations throughout Neomuna in Destiny 2. First, he visits Nimbus in Strider’s Gate, where he tries to snag an action figure. Next, he heads to the entrance of the Veil Containment facility in the Irkalla Complex, requiring players to defeat a Tormentor and Cabal enemies. Then, Archie visits Maya’s Retreat near Liming Harbor, checking out the views where Guardians mastered the Strand ability. Finally, he makes his way to the Thrilladrome Lost Sector arcade, where players can find him near a protected arcade machine. Finding Archie at all these spots rewards players with trophies and a plush toy upon returning to Ada-1 at the Tower.
Here is where to find Archie in Neomuna, clue-by-clue.
’Archie stopped by Nimbus’ post hoping to snap an action figure’ location
This clue refers to Nimbus’s gym room, which is also where you place all the action figure collectibles on Neomuna.
From Nimbus, jump directly down and to the right, off the platform. The building will be right in front of you. Go inside and you’ll find Archie’s footprints between the coffee tables.
Now you’re in for quite a journey to visit the Veil.
’Archie wanted to get caught up on everything we know about the Veil’ location
This clue refers to the Veil Containment and Irkalla Complex areas, which are the two southeastern-most points on the Neomuna map.
To reach this place, you can’t just launch Veil Containment, as you’ll need to be outside. Instead, you need to go through the Zephyr Concourse and then the ESI Terminal. Keep left the entire way there and you’ll eventually find a portal, which will take you to the Veil Containment area.
Continue up to the door, where you’ll be attacked by a bunch of Cabal and a Tormentor. Kill everything, including the Tormentor, and return to the door. You’ll find Archie’s footprints just outside of the door to the Veil.
Now you’ll need to go on another long walk near Liming Harbor.
’Archie wanted to check out the views from where Guardians mastered Strand’ location
This clue refers to Maya’s Rest, which is the sandy area to the east of Liming Harbor.
Land at Liming Harbor and take the path east through the rocks. This is basically a straight shot to Maya’s Retreat, but it takes a bit to get there. Continue on until you reach the sandy area.
You’ll have to kill a lot of Cabal here, including a Colossus boss. Once you kill the boss, all of the other enemies will disappear and you’ll be able to collect the footprints, which are overlooking the city.
Mercifully, Archie’s final stop is a much shorter run.
’Archie’s last stop. Archie wanted to try and win a prize for you’ location
This final clue refers to the Thrilladrome Lost Sector in Liming Harbor.
Land in Liming and make your way north to the Lost Sector entrance. Walk inside and just do the normal version – as-in don’t launch the Legend or Master version if they’re available – and eventually you’ll find Archie waiting by a claw machine. Do not go through the Vex portal at the end. If you do, you’ll miss Archie, who is to the right of the portal.
Go give him some pets and you’ll finish the exploration portion of the quest. Now it’s time to head back to Ada-1 in the Tower. She’ll give you an Archie Plush Toy and 10 Trophy of Bravery tokens – useful for getting more Brave weapons. Whether you keep the plush is up to you. Archie will be sad if you don’t!
Where exactly in Neomuna can I find Archie’s pawprints during the quest
During the “Where in Neomuna is Archie?” quest in Destiny 2, Archie’s pawprints can be found at four key locations across Neomuna:
-
Nimbus’ Apartment (Strider’s Gate): After talking to Nimbus, drop down and to the right of Nimbus’ platform into a small room filled with action figures. Archie’s pawprints are on the left side of this room between the coffee tables.
-
Entrance to the Veil Containment Facility (Irkalla Complex): From Nimbus’ outpost, head through Zephyr Concourse to ESI Terminal, then into Irkalla Complex. At the entrance of the Veil containment building, defeat a Tormentor that spawns, then Archie’s pawprints will appear right outside the door.
-
Maya’s Retreat: Using the Liming Harbor landing zone, find a small cave entrance to the right. Follow the path through caves and platforming sections until you reach an arena where a Cabal boss awaits. Archie’s pawprints are located exactly where the boss spawns.
-
Thrilladrome Lost Sector: From Liming Harbor, go offroad to the right to find the Thrilladrome Lost Sector entrance. Enter, clear the sector, and just before the final boss portal, Archie will be waiting along with his pawprints.
After finding all pawprints, return to Ada-1 to complete the quest and claim rewards.
Are Archie’s pawprints on the ledge to the right in Nimbus’ gym room in Neomuna
Yes, Archie’s pawprints are indeed found on the ledge to the right in Nimbus’ gym room area in Neomuna. Specifically, from Nimbus’ platform, you drop down and to the right off the edge to a nearby building. Inside that building, which contains arcade machines and exercise equipment, the pawprints are located behind the circular sofa or between the coffee tables on the left side of the room as you enter.
