๐Ÿ” Catalyst Quest Basics

First rule: You NEED The Navigator equipped. No weapon? No catalyst. It's like trying to dance without the Emote Wheel โ€“ utterly pointless. Start a fresh dungeon run (any difficulty), and prepare for three dead Ghost piles hidden across platforming sections. Each pile gives a 90-second Vestige of Light buff โ€“ think of it as a Hive-themed hot potato ๐Ÿฅ”.


๐Ÿ’€ Dead Ghost #1: The Sneaky Starter

Location Northeast of spawn under branches
Key Tip Look RIGHT after spawning

From spawn, immediately turn right toward those suspicious rock formations. Spot the fallen branches covering a hole? "Oh, that's just decorative foliage" โ€“ said no Destiny player ever. Drop down, sprint through the path, and claim your first Ghost pile. Backtracking out feels like rewinding a VHS tape โ€“ clunky but nostalgic. The statue? It's playing hide-and-seek behind the rocks. Dunk that Vestige and watch Thul-Ar spawn like a moody TikTok influencer.

Personal Take: I spent 10 minutes here thinking branches were part of the scenery. Pro tip: Shoot everything that looks out of place!


๐ŸŒŠ Dead Ghost #2: Aquatic Anxiety

Location Post-first encounter underwater room
Key Enemies Ogre + Knights

After surviving the first encounter's chaos, you'll plunge into Hive-themed waterpark territory. Swim past the kelp (yes, they put kelp in a spaceship ๐Ÿง) until you reach a combat room. Clear the adds, then look right of the exit โ€“ the Ghost pile's chilling there like a loot goblin. Backtracking to the statue requires Titan-skating precision โ€“ miss a jump, and you'll rage-quit harder than a Trials match.

"Why's the timer so short?!" โ€“ me, every time. Pro tip: Equip Lion Rampants for extra air time!


โ›ช Dead Ghost #3: Cathedral Chaos

Location Post-Ecthar cathedral section
Time Pressure 90-second mad dash

Post-Ecthar victory lap brings you to the cathedral of eternal suffering. Enter the chasm, turn right immediately โ€“ the Ghost pile's sitting pretty like a raid checkpoint. But here's the kicker: You've got 90 seconds to reach the upper floor statue. It's like doing parkour after three Red Bulls โ€“ exhilarating but messy. Dunk that Vestige, grab the damage buff, and obliterate Thul-Ar. Forgot to crush the Ghost? Congrats, you just unlocked eternal disappointment.
