*Destiny 2* players have eagerly jumped into the latest Episode, *Heresy*, which launched with excitement around *Star Wars* items and new activities. Amidst the thrill, a mysterious item known as the Curio of the Nine has caught the attention of the community. So, what exactly is the purpose of the Curio of the Nine in *Destiny 2*?

What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

As you delve into *Heresy*, the third installment of the *Final Shape* series, you'll encounter a variety of new items, including both new and returning weapons. Among these, you might stumble upon the Curio of the Nine, a peculiar material described as "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine." The Nine, enigmatic entities that govern Unknown Space, are deeply connected to this item's lore. However, the item's description cryptically states, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…"

This secrecy has driven players to scour the internet for answers, which is a delight for lore enthusiasts but a bit of a hassle for those who prefer a clutter-free inventory and want to focus on the game's action.

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

Like most items in *Destiny 2*, you have the option to discard the Curio of the Nine once you've acquired it. However, be warned: there's no way to retrieve it once it's gone. The item's description ominously advises, "While this item does not currently appear to have a purpose, guard it with your life – as it cannot be reacquired if discarded."

Given the mysterious nature of the Nine and their significance in *Destiny 2*'s lore, it's wise to keep the Curio of the Nine in your inventory, at least until the end of *Heresy*.
