The Major Arcana Quests tie in with the Deck of Whispers card-building mechanic, but Bungie didn’t really explain it much. Major Arcana Cards have a quest before you can get its bonus, but the requirements aren’t mentioned. Fortunately, we are here to help you with that.
How To Get Major Arcana Quests In Destiny 2
In The Deck of Whispers, you can get two types of cards – Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. Once you get an Opaque Card from doing certain activities, head to the Ritual Table in the Atheneum. This location can be accessed via a Portal near the landing zone in Savathun’s Throne World.
At the Ritual Table, decipher your Opaque cards, which will then turn into either Major or Minor Arcana cards. Major Arcana cards give you bonuses in seasonal activities but only after you complete the quest associated with that particular card.
