A brand new thriller surrounding the Vex is ours to resolve in Future 2. Right here is how you can full each step of the A Rising Refrain quest in Future 2.
Step 1: Start your analysis with Failsafe within the H.E.L.M. in Future 2
![Destiny 2 Echo Engram](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Echo-Engram.jpg?w=1280&resize=1200%2C675)
The very first step in A Rising Refrain will in all probability be already carried out on condition that the entire quest unlocks after finishing A Acquainted Voice, the intro quest that introduces Nessus’s unusual Vex exercise and the Breach Executable mission. So, you might be just about carried out with this step. Shifting on!
Step 2: Examine the areas Failsafe marked on Nessus in Future 2
![Destiny 2 The Cistern](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-The-Cistern.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
This would be the precise first on-the-field step for Guardians to finish. You’ll have to acquire three totally different samples from Nessus – named first, second, and third samples; Failsafe could be very sensible with naming apparently. So, let’s head out to Nessus and journey to The Cistern touchdown zone.
![Destiny 2 Sparrow Sea](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Sparrow-Sea.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Fortunately, Failsafe has carried out a lot of the job for us, and all of the samples are already positioned. You will note the on-screen marker directing you towards the Properly of Flame, so journey there utilizing your Sparrow, in any other case the entire Radiolaria sea will find yourself killing you within the course of.
Head inside and soar down the large nicely – don’t neglect to double soar except you wish to develop into Guardian mash potatoes. Down the nicely, you will discover a portal and the primary pattern you might want to acquire. Achieve this after which undergo the portal.
On the opposite facet of the portal, look right down to your left and you will note the second pattern ready for you and a few Radiolaria beneath, so tread flippantly.
![Destiny 2 Sample 2](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Sample-2.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Follow the tunnel and you will get to a room that looks like it was built specifically for a boss fight, but that’s probably just my imagination, right? Anyway, drop down and you will find the final sample.
Step 3: Collect unusual specimen in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Wyvern](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Wyvern.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
After collecting the third and final sample, the Vex will try to trap you and a Wyvern and a bunch of Vex will appear – I knew it wasn’t going to be so easy. The fight itself is pretty easy, just shoot at every Vex that appears and take care of the Wyvern with heavy weaponry.
![Destiny 2 Unusual Specimen](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Unusual-Specimen.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Once you are done with every single Vex, you will find that the unusual specimen is lying on the floor. Convenient, I know. Take it now and you will have everything you need to return to the H.E.L.M. and talk to Failsafe.
Steps 4 & 5: Take and discuss the research specimen with Failsafe in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Specimen Nes001 Quest](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Specimen-NES001-Quest.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
The only thing you need to do is to report to Failsafe by interacting with her and she will note that the identity behind the Vex’s strange behavior is a mystery that we will probably want to research more. The specimen we collected will be named NES001 and will open up a new quest and feature in the H.E.L.M.: the Radiolife Research Bay. She will also reward you with a Timeworm Wayfarer scout rifle and then leave you to be.
![Destiny 2 Timeworn Wayfarer](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Timeworn-Wayfarer.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Steps 6 & 7: Continue your Nessus research in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Step 6 Nessus Research](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Step-6-Nessus-Research.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Step 6 in the A Rising Chorus quest is just waiting for Failsafe to conclude her data analysis, which is how Bungie time-gates its episodic and seasonal quests. Step 7 is the first step of the quest’s Part 2 and will have you report back to Failsafe, who will task you to get back to Nessus to test a new way to determine the origin of the aberrant Vex behavior – and she will also shame us passively aggressively for abandoning her for so long.

Step 8: Deploy Failsafe’s proximity sensor in Exodus Black in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Exodus Black](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Exodus-Black.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Head to Exodus Black in Nessus and you will discover a new feature in your HUD: the Proximity Sensor. Disregard the comically placed beeps that Failsafe will repeat through the coms since all you need to focus on is the Proximity Sensor bar which will fill up the closer you are to the region spot you need to activate Failsafe’s scan. In Exodus Black, you can find it inside an empty engine remains.
Step 9: Deploy Failsafe’s proximity sensor in Glade of Echoes in Destiny 2
Head to the Glade of Echoes area to the south and follow your Proximity Sensor. You will find the scan spot behind some metal plates in the area. Despite scanning with the aforementioned places, the data scan will not be successful, so you will have to travel to a third area to complete it.
Steps 10 & 11: Find the optimal location to deploy scanners and collect specimen in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Hallows 1](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Hallows-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Travel to the Hallows area in the Arcadian Valley and head underground. You will find the optimal location just beside a rock formation. Interact with it and you will be tasked with collecting a specimen, which is the next step in the quest. Fortunately, the specimen is just above you on a rock platform, so collect it and you will be ready for the next step.
![Destiny 2 Hallows 2](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Hallows-2.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Step 12: Deliver the newly collected specimen in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Exodus Crash 1](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Exodus-Crash-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
You will have to deliver this specimen to the mainframe room while you complete the Exodus Crash strike on Nessus. It is a very straightforward strike where you will have to investigate the crash site while clearing pathways, deactivating barriers by overloading them and fighting lots of incoming Vex enemies.
![Destiny 2 Exodus Crash 2](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Exodus-Crash-2.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
There are two specific parts of the Exodus Crash strike you should pay attention to. One is disabling the barrier in an enclosed room where you will need to guard your Ghost by remaining close to it and defeating rounds of Fallen enemies as well as overloading generators out in the open by defeating powerful Vex enemies and depositing the charges in the generators.
![Destiny 2 Exodus Crash 3](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Exodus-Crash-3.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Other than that, the mission is pretty easy to follow and you don’t have to finish it if you don’t want to. On the way to the Exodus Black’s Aft, you will visit a room in complete darkness. You will find the location to deposit the collected specimen right at the entrance.
Step 13: Complete a run of Breach Executable and locate NES002-C in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Defend Conflux](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Defend-Conflux.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Echoes Week 2 features a new round objective that revolves around hacking a Conflux, with Guardians defending Ghosts against enemy hordes and defusing mines. Not only that, but there is a new Vex boss named Tym, Guardian Slayer, with the room featuring rotating red lasers, just to spice things up.
![Destiny 2 Tym Boss](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Tym-Boss.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
The most important thing in this step, other than completing the activity itself, is to pick up the NES002-C specimen by using, once again, your Proximity Sensor. It can be picked up as soon as you spawn in the activity, so don’t progress through the mission without picking it up first.
![Destiny 2 Nes002 C Specimen](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-NES002-C-Specimen.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Steps 14 & 15: Check Failsafe’s initial analysis and deliver your research to Failsafe in the H.E.L.M. in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Step 14](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Step-14.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
Steps 14 and 15 take place and are completed at the same time in the H.E.L.M. Interact with Failsafe to deliver the new data and then Ikora will appear and give you some insight about what transpired after the Witness was killed and how it has influenced what happened in Nessus. Then, Failsafe will reward you with the Veiled Threat auto rifle, concluding A Rising Chorus Act 1 Part 2.
Step 16: Failsafe is analyzing the data in Destiny 2
![Destiny 2 Step 16](https://www.pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Destiny-2-Step-16.jpg?resize=1200%2C675)
This is the classic step that every Destiny 2 Guardian has received throughout the many years of the game. We must wait for next week’s reset to continue progressing through the quest. There are 25 total steps to the A Rising Chorus quest, so make sure to come back here and log in to Destiny to continue with our walkthrough. Be sure to check out how to start and complete the Enigma Protocol mission. Believe me, it can get overly complicated.
