Destiny 2: Oblation Bloodline Mission Guide

Freedom isn't free, and neither is the Cull's Shadow. The Oblation Bloodline is a secret Exotic Mission in Destiny 2 that drops you straight into a Hive fortress overrun by Dredgen Bael and what's left of his Barant Imperium. It's a fight through winding caverns and hostile territory, and only those who put in the work will walk away with Cull's Shadow, an Exotic Kinetic Fusion Rifle. This is earned merit, not a handout.

Sabotage the Syndicate Drilling Operation

After your rendezvous with Aunor, head down into the Hive structures. Your objective: shut down the Syndicate Drilling Operation. Look to the left of the giant laser. You'll find a room with a Totality Enforcer. Take him out. Engage the Manual Safety Override, and three blue Cooling Tower Control Fuses will appear. Shoot them all.

Destroy the Cooling Pillars

Cooling Pillar #1

Head back to the other platform. The first Cooling Pillar is there. The central device has four vents that open randomly. When they open, shoot them. All four vents destroyed? Hit the launch pad and move to the next area.

Cooling Pillars #2 and #3

Land on the new platform. Eliminate the Totality Enforcer, then turn around. You'll find another terminal. Interact with it. Three more Cooling Tower Control Fuses will appear on the left, right, and middle towers. Destroy them.

With the fuses gone, shoot the four vents on the left and right Cooling Pillars. Now take the path on the left. There's a room packed with Legion. Clear them out. Interact with the terminal marked
