Destiny 2 The Final Shape takes you through the paracausal halls of the Traveler itself. And a post-campaign mission named The Illusion tasks you to find the location of a damaged Ghost. 

While following the quest marker makes it straightforward, this guide shows the exact places you need to find for the Ghost location. Here’s our complete guide on Destiny 2 The Illusion ghost location quest.

This quest becomes available immediately after you finish The Final Shape’s story campaign and discover the “Ergo Sum” exotic quest.

First, travel to Savathun’s Throne World and complete “The Lightblade” Strike mission. Afterwards, return to the Witch’s Echo to acquire “The Cunning” quest.

Finish “The Cunning” prerequisite quest by travelling to the Caldera and scanning one of the malformed statues in the Court of Salvation. Doing so gives you the “Lost Ghost Telemetry” item and starts “The Illusion” quest.

The Final Shape’s massive content drop introduced several unique exotics, a new Destiny 2 class, and a full look into the Traveler’s Pale Heart. While the worldbuilding in Destiny 2 has always been top-notch, Bungie certainly pushed the envelope this time around, especially with all the chests they’ve hidden.
