What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

As you journey through *Heresy*, the third installment of the *Final Shape* series, you'll encounter a variety of new items, including both new and classic weapons. Amidst these, some players have noticed a peculiar material in their inventory known as the Curio of the Nine. The item's description intriguingly states, "An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine."

The Nine, mysterious entities that govern Unknown Space, are deeply connected to this item's lore. However, the Curio's purpose remains shrouded in mystery. When examined in your inventory, it cryptically notes, "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 can be a thrilling pursuit for those deeply invested in *Destiny 2*'s lore. However, for players who prefer a tidy inventory and a focus on gameplay, this mystery can be somewhat frustrating.

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 ominous nature of the Nine in *Destiny 2*'s lore, it's wise to heed this warning and keep the Curio of the Nine, at least until the end of *Heresy*.
