How to Unlock Lost Prophecies and Craft Prophecy Weapons in Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris

In Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris, the Lost Prophecies system allows you to craft Prophecy Weapons, but how do you unlock them? While weapon crafting isn’t directly part of the main campaign, you can access this feature by following a few steps after completing the campaign. Below, I’ll guide you through unlocking the Lost Prophecies and crafting your Prophecy Weapons.

What are Lost Prophecies?

Descriptive Text:
“Osiris wrote his Lost Prophecies on these six-sided tablets, and hid within them a secret for the Guardian whose deeds he foresaw.”

Lost Prophecies are special items you carry around in your inventory. Each Lost Prophecy contains offerings that need to be collected from various activities. Once you gather the required offerings, return to Brother Vance in the Lighthouse to fulfill the prophecy, which will then allow you to craft a Prophecy Weapon at the Forge.

Beating the Curse of Osiris Campaign

Before you can begin unlocking Lost Prophecies, you’ll need to complete the entire Curse of Osiris campaign. This involves eight mission levels, which you can find detailed in the following guides:

1. The Gateway
2. A Deadly Trial
3. Beyond Infinity
4. Deep Storage
5. Tree of Probabilities
6. Hijacked
7. A Garden World
8. Omega

Once you’ve completed these missions, head back to Brother Vance in the Lighthouse to trigger the next step in unlocking the Lost Prophecies.

Completing Adventures with Brother Vance

After finishing the campaign, Brother Vance will give you three new adventures on Mercury. To proceed with unlocking Lost Prophecies, you’ll need to complete the following three adventures:

1. The Up and Up
2. The Runner
3. Bug in the System

After completing these adventures, Brother Vance will unlock Heroic versions of the adventures and provide loot for your efforts. Now you’re ready for the next step.

Completing a Heroic Adventure

To unlock the Lost Prophecies, complete one Heroic Adventure. This can be done by selecting any of the Heroic versions of the adventures you just completed. Once you finish a Heroic Adventure and return to Brother Vance, he will reward you with Lost Prophecy, Verse 1.

Offering Requirements for Lost Prophecies

Once you’ve unlocked the Lost Prophecies, you’ll need to fulfill the requirements for each prophecy. This involves collecting specific offerings, which are rare items that drop from activities such as Strikes, Crucible matches, Heroic Adventures, and Public Events.

You’ll need to collect the following offerings:

• Advanced Paradox Amplifier (Green/Blue rarity): Earned from completing Strikes, Crucible, and Heroic Adventures on Mercury.
• Concentrated Radiolarian Culture (Green/Blue rarity): Drops from Public Event chests.

To fulfill a prophecy, you’ll need to gather these offerings and return them to Brother Vance. Note that the green offerings are more common than the blue offerings. However, you can exchange 10 green offerings along with Legendary Shards for one blue offering at Brother Vance.

Crafting Prophecy Weapons

Lost Prophecies are linked to specific verses, and each verse will unlock a unique Prophecy Weapon. Here are the verses and their associated descriptions:

• Verse 1: “Two siblings cleaved by time and space, reflections never found alone, The ending of the eldritch race—a path long seen but never known.”
• Verse 2: “To Tower comes a war in red; an orphan sounds the empire’s call. Mortal angels mourn the dead while lightless light wraps night in pall.”
• Verse 3: “An army meets, and stands, and falls. Three nobles wage their hopeless war. In shifting madness, evil crawls. One stands above the battle’s roar.”
• Verse 4: “A charnel but effulgent orb—beacon in a loathsome dark— Fêted, fetid corpses rise—a too-long-absent gibbous spark.”
• Verse 5: “A visitor ignites the sky, and in the truth of light it dreams: Above the dead and yet-to-die, a legion’s blade with fire screams.”
• Verse 6: “Amid the endless death one flew—unnatural all-consuming need— And in the space between the two, accursed comprehension freed.”
• Verse 7: “A spark of knowledge with each fall, the purpose of the endless youth. No longer shunned, dark’s nameless call now brings about tenebrous truth.”
• Verse 8: “They sowed the First, now reap the Last; forever narrows to a line Where Light will fade into the past; when all’s converted, nothing shines.”
• Verse 9: “A sacred eye that speaks in lies—upending futures in its path. The way before us to the skies shall see itself in ancient wrath.”
• Verse 10: “See who’s robed as if a god, who stands with pride above the rest! Destroy this ancient nameless fraud! Destroy the one whose death was blessed.”

Unlocking Lost Prophecies and crafting Prophecy Weapons is a multi-step process that requires you to complete campaign missions, Adventures, Heroic Adventures, and gather rare offerings. By following these steps, you can gain access to some powerful and unique weapons in Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris.
