Khvostov, the Exotic auto rifle based on the very first gun players find in the original Destiny, has made a return in The Final Shape. It’s one of the Exotics you can hunt down in the aftermath of the new Destiny 2 expansion’s campaign as you explore the Pale Heart of the Traveler, but unlike the others that provide you with Exotic missions, this one is a puzzle you have to figure out on your own. It requires doing a lot of exploring, fighting, and intuiting, and by the end, you’ll know the new destination pretty intimately.
After spending a whole lot of time in the Pale Heart of the Traveler, we’ve narrowed down exactly how to get everything you need to unlock Khvostov and where it’s all hidden. You’ll first need to find all the hidden Region Chests, then complete all six variations of the Alone in the Dark quests, and then find a bunch more hidden collectibles. Here’s everything you need to know to find just about everything in the Pale Heart of the Traveler and walk away with Khvostov for your troubles.
- Step 1: Region Chests
Step 1: Region Chests
The easiest part of this whole undertaking is tracking down all nine Region Chests hidden throughout the Pale Heart. These are usually in weird and out-of-the-way places, but they’re marked on your map so you’ll at least know where to go when you start your hunt. Region Chests are indicated by the little plus signs on your map, which will give you a good starting point. There are three chests in each of the main Pale Heart areas: The Landing, The Blooming, and The Impasse. Each will give you a piece of an encrypted key. You’re looking for 15 of these, and the first nine come from Region Chests.
