There is a secondary quest that Destiny 2 players will receive during the Mysterious Box quest called the Mysterious Datapad quest. While the main Mysterious Box quest ultimately leads to the Izanagi's Burden exotic sniper rifle, the Mysterious Datapad quest will reward players with a special emblem, a short cutscene, and a triumph.

It's best to hold off on this quest until earning the Izanagi's Burden in Destiny 2, as the exotic sniper rifle is required for completing the quest. It's impossible to miss the Mysterious Datapad, which will be added to players' inventory when they open Mysterious Box. From there, players will need to solve some puzzles to finish off the quest.

Head to Niobe Labs

The first step is to head to Niobe Labs and start the mission there. In the first room, players need to use specific Black Armory weapons to shoot symbols around the room in a specific order. Aim down sights of the following weapons, find the matching symbol, and shoot it in this order:

  • Bow: shoot the Missive symbol on the front of the first pillar in the room.
  • Machinegun: jump up to the platform, turn around, look at the right panel on the left pillar, and shoot the Storm symbol.
  • Sniper: turn to the left and on the next closest pillar, shoot the Temple symbol.
  • Bow: look back toward the front of the room, and down to the left near the corner shoot the Sunrise symbol.
  • Machinegun: Back up and look to the right on the ground on the platform directly ahead and shoot the Star symbol. Then look to the left on the ground to shoot the Hand symbol.
  • Sniper: Jump down underneath the platform and look up and to the left to shoot the Black Armory symbol.

Kill the Taken

Shooting all the symbols in the room will spawn in waves of Taken enemies. There will be Taken Knights and a boss that have white shields around them. The only way to remove their shields is to shoot them with Izanagi's Burden. Once the shield is destroyed, players can damage them with anything. After clearing the area of enemies, jump up to the platform to open the chest and start the next step.

Complete All Forges with Full Black Armory Gear

Next, players need to equip themselves with full Black Armory weapons and armor, or alternatively, it counts to also equip raid weapons from Scourge of the Past as well. Then head to all four forges and complete them.

Return to Ada-1

Once all the forges have been completed, go back to Ada-1, where players will see a cutscene and then receive the Obsidian Dreams emblem and a triumph. Players will also receive an Obsidian Radiance mod that can be equipped on Black Armory weapons and will increase their damage while in a forge activity.

That's it for now. Some fans have been able to data-mine the game and it looks like this quest will continue further with the next step being checking in with The Spider on the Tangled Shore, but there's no indication as to when that next quest will start.

Destiny 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
