Destiny 2 The Final Shape: Traveler’s Blessings Guide

The Pale Heart location, one of the most significant additions The Final Shape made to Destiny 2, is a bizarre region within the Traveler that takes shape based on the experiences and memories of individuals who encounter it.

While exploring the Pale Heart, players will come upon a fresh system introduced in Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Players in the Traveler can obtain region modifiers known as Traveler's Blessings. Understanding Traveler's Blessings and how they work is critical to players' journey through the Pale Heart.

Destiny 2: What Are Traveler's Blessings?

Traveler's Blessings function similarly to weapon and armor mods in Destiny 2: The Final Shape, however instead of modifying weapons, they alter the Pale Heart destination. Specifically, they serve as a range of useful buffs for players while they explore and complete activities within the Pale Heart.

Unfortunately, these buffs eventually expire, with none lasting more than 27 hours before being removed. Even so, as long as players spend a lot of time in the Pale Heart (and there's no reason not to at this point in the game), they'll find plenty of useful Traveler's Blessing mods if they know where to search.

Traveler's Blessings in Destiny 2: The Final Shape come in two varieties: Flickering Blessings and Pale Blessings. Only one of each sort of blessing can be equipped at a time, but the advantages they offer are frequently worth the constraints.

There are eight different Flickering Blessings and seven different Pale Blessings, each of which delivers a distinct benefit as players explore the Pale Heart. 

Flickering Blessings modify players' traversal and combat skills as long as they are equipped and have not expired. These Blessings provide temporary buffs that increase regeneration in a variety of ways, including abilities and health.

Destiny 2: How to Obtain and Activate Traveler's Blessings?

Flickering Blessings

Flickering Blessings can be earned in a variety of ways in Destiny 2: The Final Shape, including opening Cyst chests, Lost Sector chests, Overthrow Level 2 and Level 3 encounter chests, Pathfinder Field Assignment Chests, and Triage chests.

Opening one of these chests has the chance of dropping a Flickering Blessing, although players are guaranteed one by completing a certain Lost Sector, Cyst, or Overthrow activity after each daily reset. To activate a Flickering Blessing, players just need to go to the Traveler's Blessings menu and choose which blessing they want.

Pale Blessings

Pale Blessings are harder to find in Destiny 2: The Final Shape. To get one, players must first finish all levels of the Pale Heart zone's Overthrow activity. Upon completion, they will be rewarded with a Luminescent Seed, which they can then plant in one of the many hand sculptures placed across the Pale Heart.

A Traveler's Flower will sprout from the hand when a seed is planted, allowing the player to access one of the Pale Blessings. The Traveler's Blessings screen in Destiny 2's Director is where players can choose which Pale Blessings to activate after that. However, in order to activate a Traveler's Flower's bonus, they must interact with it.
