As players navigate through the third installment of the *Final Shape* series, this enigmatic item has sparked curiosity and confusion in equal measure.

What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

Throughout your journey in *Heresy*, you'll encounter a range of new and returning weapons. However, a peculiar item known as the Curio of the Nine may catch your eye. Described as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine," this item ties directly into the lore surrounding the mysterious Nine, beings who govern the Unknown Space. Despite this intriguing connection, the item's purpose remains shrouded in mystery. The in-game description tantalizingly notes, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"

This cryptic message has driven players to seek answers online, adding a layer of engagement for lore enthusiasts, but causing frustration for those who prefer a clutter-free inventory and wish to focus solely on gameplay.

Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

Yes, like most items in *Destiny 2*, you can discard the Curio of the Nine once you've acquired it. However, the item's description warns, "While this item does not currently appear to have a purpose, guard it with your life – as it cannot be reacquired if discarded." This dramatic advice underscores the significance of the Nine within the game's lore, suggesting that it's wise to retain the Curio of the Nine, at least until the end of the *Heresy* Episode.
