Destiny 2 Dead Messenger Quest Steps, Including Vox Obscura And ...

How to complete Kill the Messenger and Vox Obscura in Destiny 2

Kill the Messenger is wrapped up in yet another quest, Vox Obscura, and it's tougher than most of the missions in the Witch Queen campaign. You'll need a power level of at least 1500, but is recommended you play at the Powerful cap of 1550. That's a lot of levelling!

When ready, open the Throne World map, and open the Vox Obscura mission banner to launch the quest. This takes you through a time warp on Mars and puts you through a number of timed objectives.

This is a challenge - but can be completed solo, as shown by Esoterickk on YouTube:

The Vox Obscura steps are as follows:

Sneak Into the Hanger

The first part has no timer. Hop onto your Sparrow and race down the hill until you reach the hangar. Deal with the enemies that spawn, including the land tank, then head inside. A timer starts after you defeat the enemies there, and the objective changes.

Clear the Airfield

You have four minutes to destroy all objectives, most of which include heavily armed vehicles. You have access to vehicles of your own, though, including Interceptors. Divide the tasks between your Fireteam members and work as quickly as possible to clear the first area.

The second area has yet more vehicles, including Goliath Tanks, and the ever-present threat of missiles raining down on you. Once the tanks are gone, you'll need to target power supplies located at the base of the towers in the area and roughly halfway up the towers, all while working under the same time limit.

Follow the objective marker after you've finished, use a vehicle to blast the hangar door apart, and move on to the next step.

Race to the Control Room

This involves clearing Cabal Codewardens and their cohorts from a series of three rooms within 10 minutes. The process is the same for each. The Codewarden is protected by a shield, which you can deactivate by defeating the Psion in the energy bubble. Override the consoles as indicated after defeating the Codewarden, and then do the same in the other two rooms.

Defeat Qabix the Insurgent

The final phase is a boss fight against Qabix the Insurgent. Like the Codewardens, Qabix is defended by three Psions in energy bubbles. Defeat the Psions, then unleash your heavy weaponry on Qabix. The shields regenerate with each segment of Qabix's health bar you deplete, so you'll repeat this process twice.

After the battle, head into the treasure room, and you'll get the Dead Messenger launcher from the golden chest inside.

Enjoy using your new grenade launcher!

From here, a Master difficulty version of Vox Obscura will open up. Additionally, know that the mission is home to a very useful Champion farm and, alongside it, a useful Pinnacle source if can you remember to check in each week.
