Add as a preferred source on Google

If you’re looking to complete the Destiny 2: Shadowkeep Essence of Brutality questline, you may find yourself stuck looking for something called a Necromantic Strand. Like Shadowkeep’s other essence quest lines, you’ll have to track down an item in an unmarked location to complete this. Doing so will grant you Loud Lullaby, a powerful legendary hand cannon with insanely high impact.

In addition to finding the item, you’ll also need to complete activities on the moon and get 50 kills with a hand cannon. So before you go looking for the Strand, make sure to equip a hand cannon to kill two thrall with one stone.

Necromantic Strand Location

To find the Necromantic Strand, you’ll first need to find the Hall of Wisdom. Start by loading into the Sanctuary location on the Moon. From there, go west and follow the path all the way to Archer’s Line.

Once there, you’ll want to look for the dome-like building that’s up on a hill. You’ll find this on your right once you enter the area. Enter the dome building and exit its other side. You’ll should see a hill leading down towards a Hive structure.

Enter the structure and follow it all the way down. Eventually, you’ll find yourself in the Hall of Wisdom. Go right once you get in and head for the circular structures at the center of the room.

At this point, a waypoint marker should pop up on the screen indicating the Strands location. Follow it, and you’ll find the Strand sitting on the ground. Pick it up to check this off your to-do list.

Once you complete all three steps, all you have to do is head back to the lectern near the Sanctuary landing zone on the Moon and interact with it. Voila! Loud Lullaby will be added to your collection! If you manage to accidentally dismantle Loud Lullaby, don’t worry! Once you’ve completed the quest, you’ll be able to return to the lectern and get the quest again. So you’ll be able to farm Loud Lullaby as many times as you want if you’re hunting for the perfect roll.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.

Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform has landed one of its first major games. Sega has confirmed that Virtua Fighter Crossroads will run on RTX Spark-powered laptops and compact desktop PCs when the game arrives in 2027. More Sega titles are also heading to the platform, although neither company has named them yet.

The announcement also marks more than 30 years of collaboration between Nvidia and Sega, a relationship that began when Nvidia’s NV1 graphics chip helped bring the original Virtua Fighter to PC. Sega later helped keep the young chipmaker alive by turning a $5 million payment into an investment when Nvidia was close to running out of money.

TCL has spent years saying inkjet-printed OLED could improve image quality, efficiency, lifespan, and manufacturing costs. Back in 2024, the company was still showing prototype laptop panels and promising a “comprehensive breakthrough” once the technology was ready for commercial products.

Two years later, it has finally arrived in a gaming laptop. Lenovo’s new Legion R9000P uses a 16-inch panel that TCL CSOT describes as the world’s first inkjet-printed OLED display integrated into a laptop.
