Destiny 2has, over the years, received a non-insignificant array of weapons and gear from the originalDestiny, and Exotics are the cream of the crop. Necrochasm is one of the latest examples of this taking place, but unlocking it is, admittedly, a bit of a process.
There are many reasons why you’d be interested in Necrochasm in the first place, of course. Not only is it recommended that allDestiny 2players slowly work on filling out their Exotic collections for progression purposes, but Bungie also tends to update/buff certain gear over time. Though Necrochasm might not be the very pinnacle ofDestiny 2‘s meta at this time, then, you never know when the tide might turn.
Besides, if you’re even remotely interested induking it out with Crota inDestiny 2, grabbing the Exotic quest for Necrochasm along the way will be easy as pie.
Unlocking Necrochasm in Destiny 2
As was the case in the originalDestiny,Destiny 2‘s Necrochasm is a bit of a living thing. Players will need to nurture and care for it if they wish to reach its full potential, and though thatmightsound annoying at first, the good news is that “nurture and care” mostly means wreaking havoc and violence from the perspective of a Hive artifact. Here are the steps to get Necrochasm inDestiny 2:
And then, at long last, theDestiny 2version of Necrochasm will be yours at last! The odds are good that getting all that Essence of the Oversoul will be a lengthy blocker for many players, mind. Be sure to use the Destructoid guide we linked above to optimize your farming process here, as there are ways to get through it relatively quickly, thankfully.
Tips and tricks to complete the Bottomless Pit quickly(ish)
Destiny 2veterans will notice that the Bottomless Pit Exotic quest is quite similar to some of the oldestDestiny 2Exotic questlines, sending players off to complete several different objectives just to progress. The Essence of the Oversoul quest step, in particular, can end up being egregiously long.
Before getting there, though, you’ll need to take your weak Husk of the Pit to kill 100 Hive, and if you’d like to get that done as quickly as possible, too, we recommend going to the Altars of Sorrow on Luna. There, you’ll be treated to an infinite supply of low-tier Hive to slaughter, which will get you through this step of the Bottomless Pit extremely quickly, at least.
Something worth considering as you farm your 20 Essences of the Oversoul is that the Eidolon Ally is a compelling weapon all on its own.As we discussed in our unlocking guide, the Eidolon Ally comes with Necrochasm’s coolest feature, the Cursebringer perk, and it’s a mere Legendary to boot. What this means is that you can lug your Eidolon Ally aroundalongsidean actual Exotic weapon, which is a pretty hefty boon all on its own. You can slap Shaders onto it, too.
Something to consider and, perhaps, ease the pain of farming Crota’s End so much. Oh, and remember: youcanluck out during the Crota encounter, as killing the Son of Oryx may drop all the Essence you need to complete the quest. The odds of this happening are, however, appropriately slim. Good luck!
