Destiny 2 Heresy: Complete Guide to Chess Piece Locations

🧩 Introduction: Discovering Destiny 2’s Hidden Challenge

In the latest update of Destiny 2, the "Heresy" episode introduces a new layer of exploration and mystery. Central to this is the discovery and collection of 60 hidden chess pieces scattered across multiple zones. While their exact role in the unfolding narrative—possibly tied to the Ride of the Nine or the forthcoming Edge of Fate expansion—remains under wraps, dedicated players are already uncovering these pieces in anticipation of future content.

This guide offers a detailed walkthrough for locating each chess piece, covering areas from the Tower to the Nether. Whether you're aiming to complete a Triumph or prepare for the next stage of content, this resource ensures no piece is left behind.

🔍 General Overview of the Chess Piece Hunt

Players can collect a total of 60 chess pieces throughout the Heresy content. While all are obtainable now, their purpose seems to relate to future developments. Collecting these items also rewards players with Strange Coins and contributes to a Triumph under the current season.

The pieces are distributed across several areas: the Tower, the Nether, Europa, the EDZ, and the Court of Blades. Some are found in visible spots, while others require unlocking secret chests, solving puzzles, or progressing through activity paths that reward reputation items.



🏠 Tower Chess Piece Locations

The Tower features several chess pieces in easily accessible spots:

  • Eris Morn’s Quarters:

    • One on the table opposite the Shaping Slab.

    • One directly next to the Shaping Slab.

    • One by the locked staircase near the back of the room.

    • One at the bottom of the stairs leading out of the apartment.

  • The Drifter’s Area:

    • Found to the left of the Drifter, near a hook by the wall.

  • Zavala’s Office:

    • Take the lift from the courtyard toward the Bazaar to access this location. A piece rests on the right-side shelves as you enter.

  • Hangar - Hidden Daito Room:

    • Enter the Hangar and ascend the staircase on the right to reach this hidden chamber. The chess piece is located within.

Once you’ve obtained a certain number of pieces, the Drifter will offer additional ones via trade using anomalous relics. If unavailable at first, return after collecting more pieces.



🧊 Europa Chess Piece Locations

Europa has two specific chess pieces available:

  • Exo Stranger’s Ridge:

    • Spawn near the Exo Stranger. Look on a small ridge to her left for the piece.

  • Creation Facility:

    • Travel through Charon’s Crossing toward the Clovis Bray facility to find another chess piece deep within Creation.

🌍 EDZ Chess Piece Locations

In the European Dead Zone:

  • Winding Cove:

    • Found on a cliff where Xur used to appear, near the usual Lost Sector location.

  • Sludge – Traveler’s Shard:

    • From the Sludge spawn, follow the route to the Shard of the Traveler. A chess piece is located near the portal here.

🕳️ Nether and Heresy Chess Pieces

A significant portion of the collection is located within the Nether and Heresy content:

  • Sigil Shards Path:

    • Three pieces are awarded from drops while defeating enemies. The sigil shard explodes upon being shot, releasing collectible fragments that include chess pieces.

  • Consumable Reputation Path:

    • Another three are obtained through reputation orbs that are consumed rather than destroyed. These randomly drop chess pieces when used.

  • Secret Chests (Tool Orbs & Puzzles):

    • Nine pieces are hidden in secret chests. These chests appear after completing puzzles or tracking tool orbs scattered across the Nether.

👑 Court of Blades Chess Piece Locations

This area holds multiple pieces, each associated with unique activities:

  • Arena Rooms:

    • One in the IO-themed arena, near pipes along the back wall.

    • One above the portal in the Dais exotic mission room, resting on a hive-themed slab.

    • One in the Europa-themed room, found behind where the boss usually appears.

  • Rune Activation:

    • One piece is awarded after activating a Tier 3 rune.

  • Completion Reward:

    • An additional piece is granted upon successfully completing the Court of Blades.

🔥 The Nether: 24 Chess Pieces in Detail

The Nether is the most piece-dense area with 24 total collectibles. These are scattered across different subzones:

  • Hall of Souls:

    • Contains 7 pieces. Some are hidden along invisible platforms starting at the Cord of Oryx area. These paths lead to raised platforms and obscure corners.

  • The Fountain:

    • Also includes 7. Be thorough when exploring this space before moving on, as missing one can delay completion.

  • Trenchway:

    • Home to 5 pieces. Look inside caves and climb platforms to locate hidden ones, especially in large open areas.

  • Mausoleum:

    • Contains 5 pieces, similar to Trenchway in terms of verticality and obscure locations.

  • Hull Breach:

    • Interestingly, this area does not contain any chess pieces.

Players are encouraged to explore rather than rely solely on guides. Since the pieces appear on the radar, moving through the zones actively is an efficient method to gather all 24.



🧠 Strategy and Recommendations

  • Track Progress via Triumphs:

    • Progress can be monitored through in-game Triumphs which log collected pieces.

  • Don’t Rush:

    • Some pieces, especially those tied to reputation drops or puzzle chests, may take time to acquire. Repeat activities if needed.

  • Check Back Weekly:

    • Though collecting all 60 currently offers no visible reward, it’s likely they will tie into future expansions. Be prepared for new content drops by finishing early.

✅ Key Takeaways

  • There are 60 chess pieces total, spread across five main zones.

  • Some pieces are in plain sight; others require solving puzzles or completing specific activities.

  • The Nether holds the largest amount—24 pieces—requiring detailed exploration.

  • Future content is likely tied to this collectible challenge. Completing it now is a good investment for upcoming expansions.
