Destiny 2: Corsair Down Quest Guide

If you have yet to explore Dreaming City in Destiny 2, the Corsair Down quest will take you through most of it as you search and track down the bodies of fallen heroes. In typical Destiny fashion though, the quest doesn’t explain much about the location of these bodies.

How To Get Corsair Down Quest In Destiny 2

Corsair Down is not a guaranteed quest you can get but instead has a chance of dropping after defeating Scorn and other enemies in Dreaming City. So, your best bet is to do Public Events and Blind Wells to try your luck until you get this quest.

Each Corsair Down will give you a hint about the location of Corsair bodies that you need to find. There are six different locations, with each location having five bodies. Finding the bodies will give you a Corsair Badge that needs to be given to a Corsair NPC.

Here are all the location hints and which location it points to:

• Something about Spine and Mist: Divalian Mists – Spine of Keres
• Something about a Harbinger: Harbinger’s Seclude
• Something about a Garden: Gardens of Esila
• Something about a Chamber: Chamber of Starlight
• Something about a Bay: Bay of Drowned Wishes
• Something about an Aphelion: Aphelion’s Rest

How To Redeem The Corsair Badges In Destiny 2

After you get the Corsair Badges from all the bodies, you need to go talk to a Corsair NPC and give it to them. They can be found at Dreaming City Corsair outposts. The outposts can be found all over Dreaming City; the easiest one to get to is near the patrol space on the north side of Divalian Mists.
