No matter what may be happening in the main story of Destiny 2, players can still make time to take on missions from previous expansions and seasons. Vox Obscura is one such mission in which players must work with Empress Caiatl to quell a Psion uprising.
Drop in, kill some Cabal, strengthen ties between the Empress and the Vanguard, and get some loot - that’s the gist of Vox Obscura. Here’s how to get it done.
Where to find the Vox Obscura Exotic mission
The Vox Obscura mission is now in theLegends section of the Director’s Destinations. Note that to play the Vox Obscura mission, players must own The Witch Queen expansion or Season of the Risen.

Sneak into the Hangar
By sneak into the hangar, we mean murder your way from the drop zone into the hangar. This will be thebuilding on the right with the red light. Pop inside, take out the Psions, and grab an Interceptor to blow open your exit.
Clear the Airfield and Destroy the Signal Towers
Here’s where the “mechanic” for this mission comes into play. There aren’t any puzzles to solve or plates to stand on and activate. Instead, it’s arace against the clock. You’ll haveeight minutesto do the next few bits. Make your way down to the airfield and blow up the Goliath Tank guarding it. With that done, grab the Drake, and head back the way you came, but hang a left instead of going back in the hangar.
In this next section, you’ll have to contend with swarms of War Beasts, Threshers, and Scorpius Turrets. The objective is todestroy each of the three signal towers. Next to each are two generators that must be destroyed. With the generators reduced to scrap, a shield will appear in front of the tower. A few well-placed shots from the Drake will take both the shield and tower out.
Don’t stress too much if your Drake is destroyed as there is a deployment pad for another opposite the towers. To mitigate the orbital strikes, look for the yellow bar Psion Spotters, and take them out. With all of that nonsense dealt with, use the Drake to shoot your way into the base.
Race to the Control Room
The Cabal army doesn’t take kindly to those who break into their bases. Despite you beating the first timer, this defending force has started another. This time, you have15 minutes to beat the missionbefore this base is bombed from orbit. Upon entering the base, you’ll see three markers on your HUD. It doesn’t matter which one you pick as they all lead to the same lower level.
Once you push through the Cabal and reach the lower level, you’ll need toenter three override codes. These are guarded by Psion Codewardens who are in turn guarded by Psion Commanders. These Commanders are immune to damage from outside their bubble. As such, you’ll want to get in their personal space to make the Codewarden vulnerable. With the Codewarden down, you can activate the terminal in the room. Rinse and repeat twice more.
Vox Obscura Boss
You’re still on the clock for this fight and there will be what feels like an endless swarm of enemies. Stay calm, play it safe, and try to keep cover over your head. This fight is handled in three phases as you whittle away the boss' health.
At the beginning of each new phase, the boss will summon support and become invincible, like the previous Codewardens. To make him vulnerable again, you’ll need to take down three Psion Commanders. They are on the left and right sides of the room and in the back.
Be extremely careful as you move around the room as you’ll be under pressure from Scorpius Turrets on the central pillar. Caution is the name of the game as dying here will push you back to the start of the race to the control room. Keep moving around the room to prevent yourself from being overwhelmed and you should emerge victorious before the timer runs out.
With the rogue Psion leader taken care of, head to the control room in the back and call off the orbital bombardment. Then make sure to head to the room on the right to collect your loot!
