Destiny 2 ‘Completing An Impossible Task’: All transponder and ghost locations

When Destiny 2’s Season of Dawn launched, we received a new story involving the legendary Titan, Saint-14. While that quest rewarded players with the Perfect Paradox shotgun, it didn’t close out the story. Now, the next chapter in Saint-14’s story is available, bringing a new story mission and a bit of location hunting.

Once you’ve completed the An Impossible Task quest, you’ll be able to grab this new quest from Osiris on Mercury. Here’s everything you’ll need to do to save Saint-14.

Step 1: Plant transponders

First, you’ll need to go to Nessus and plant six transponders around the planet. Basically, you’ll find circles around Nessus where you’ll plant an item, similar to quests where you plant patrol beacons. Your map will be marked with X’s showing where each is, however some can still be a bit of a pain to find. Here’s where to find each one.

For the X in Exodus Black, load into that landing zone and immediately turn around and look up. You’ll notice that you can jump up to the raised rock structure next to you. Climb up there and you’ll see the EDZ’s obelisk. Jump across to the raised rock structure next to it, and you’ll find the transponder location

The Hollows

For the X in the Hollows, load in to the Artifact’s Edge landing zone and head towards the X on your map. You’ll jump onto a well and find yourself in an area where public events can occur. When you go to the X, you’ll find a big pillar there. You’ll need to climb to the top of it, jumping on the rock next to the pillar to get high enough. Get to the top and you’ll find another transponder point overlooking the public event space. 

South Watcher’s Grave

For the X in the southernmost part of Watcher’s Grave, simply spawn in to Watcher’s Grave and run to the public event space there. You’ll find the transponder point tucked away on the ground near the edge of the arena. 

North Watcher’s Grave

For the X in the northernmost part of Watcher’s Grave, you’ll need to jump through the Vex portal that appears near the barge. Once you’re teleported to a new area, follow the path forward until you reach the X location on your map. You’ll find the spot at the edge of a room that looks out at the sky outside. 

The Tangle

The X in The Tangle is the one that might give you the most trouble. If you go straight to the X, you won’t find anything there. Instead, you want to get on your sparrow and drive down the lower sloping path right next to you. Drive down and you’ll eventually come across an opening in the wall. Continue through this cave and it’ll eventually snake you back around so you’re right under the X on your map. Jump across the gap in this room and you’ll find the transponder location right where the X appears. 

The Cistern

Finally, fast travel to The Cistern landing zone and head towards the X. You’ll need to cross the electric ocean, so jump on your sparrow and zoom across it. You’ll find a lone platform behind the area’s big central structure. Plant the transponder to complete this step.

Step 2: Find Saint-14’s ghost

Now you’ll need to find Saint-14’s ghost, which is also on Nessus. Again, an X will appear on your map showing you where to go, but you’ll need to do some spatial reasoning to hunt it down.

Fast travel to The Cistern landing zone and head forward while hanging a right. Eventually you’ll come across a little hole in the wall. Head through that opening and head into the Pools of Luminance. Continue forward until you reach the X on your map. An objective marker will appear on screen. Jump up to the glowing Vex object and interact with it to open a portal. Another objective marker will appear on a wall, which you can jump through. Interact with the ghost in this room to complete this step.

Step 3: Defeat guardians, get super kills, collect orbs of light

Head back to Osiris and he’ll give you a classic Destiny checklist to complete. To complete this step, you’ll need to kill 25 guardians, get 25 super kills, and collect 25 orbs of light. Head to the crucible to clean up the guardian kill portion of this, and then do the rest in the PVE activity of your choice.

When we did this, we were able to complete the orbs of light step without actually picking up 25 orbs. It seems that either other guardians picking up your orbs will count, or other guardians in your server grabbing orbs counts. We simply spent some time in the public EDZ area, and eventually found that the step was completed.

Step 4: Corridors of Time Part 2

Once you’ve completed the checklist, head back to Osiris on Mercury. After you speak with him, head over to the panel on your right and interact with it to start a 900 power level mission.

Like Corridors of Time Part 1, you’ll have to travel through some Vex infested areas and fight a big boss. For this fight, you’ll damage the giant Vex boss until he becomes immune. At that point, a sub-boss will spawn in. Kill that, pick up the charge it drops, and dunk it at the objective marker to bring the main boss back. Repeat this three times and you’ll complete the fight to see a cool cutscene.

This can be a hard battle, but there’s no darkness here, so you can die as many times as you want without losing progress. Bring some friends in if you want it to go quicker, but you’ll be able to solo this without issue with enough patience.

All Azure Ingot locations in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Sargon wields a sword in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

The majority of upgrades you get in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown come in the form of new moves, amulets, and traversal options. In terms of combat, you will essentially be relying on your sword and bow for the entire game, but that doesn't mean you can't improve them. As is the case with most games, you can't simply improve your weapons for free, or even for basic currency. No, in order to upgrade your trusty blades to hit as hard as you want them to, you will need to find Azure Ingots to strengthen your tools of battle. These aren't terribly rare, but you probably won't come across nearly enough playing normally to fully power up your gear. Here are all Azure Ingot locations to give you an edge in combat.
Where to find all Azure Ingots
There are 20 Azure Ingots in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's giant map. By bringing them to Keheva's Forge, you can choose to invest them in either your sword or bow to increase their power. If you want to get both to max power, every last ingot will be required. You won't be able to grab them all as soon as the game opens up. Many require you to unlock specific skills by progressing the main story, which will be noted in the list below, which also reveals the location of each one.

Bungie plots Destiny 2: The Final Shape overhaul in wake of mass layoffs
Guardians stand together in Destiny 2: The Final Shape key art.

Destiny 2 developer Bungie has broken its silence after laying off around 100 staff members earlier this week. The studio posted a blog update that acknowledged the move and teased a major change in plans for Destiny 2's next big DLC, The Final Shape.

On Monday, October 30, Bungie laid off a sizable chunk of its staff in departments including community, QA, audio, and more. According to a report from IGN, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons cited Destiny 2's declining performance in 2023 as a cause. A report from Bloomberg noted that Bungie's upcoming projects were internally delayed as part of the move, with The Final Shape quietly moving to June 2024.

All Lunchbox locations in Alan Wake 2
Saga finding a lunchbox in the forest.

Collectibles are nothing new to the Alan Wake series. The first game's primary trinkets you would be scrounging around for were coffee thermoses, but those now serve as save spots in Alan Wake 2. What replaces them are several new types, such as Cult Stashes and Nursery Rhymes, but those are more puzzles than pure collectibles. The Alex Casey Lunchboxes are pure, hidden objects that just need to be found to unlock -- no puzzles or keys required. Aside from the trophy/achievement you get for finding them all, what they hold inside is more than worth the effort of collecting them. No, it isn't someone's leftover sandwich, but precious Manuscript Fragments required to upgrade Saga's guns. We've all lost track of Lunchboxes in the past, so here is where you can find them all in Alan Wake 2.
All Lunchbox locations
Across every major zone you go to as Saga in Alan Wake 2, you can get a total of 21 Alex Casey Lunchboxes. Each one has a few Manuscript Fragments and a little cryptic or creepy note attached for some additional lore.
