Every now and then, something huge takes place in Destiny 2: Developer Bungie adds a major secret to the game, often tied to a big reward. The latest was a quest called "Explore the Corridors of Time" that includes a massive, intricate puzzle that brought the entire Destiny 2 community together. Finally, it's solved, unlocking the Kinetic fusion rifle Bastion--and a new way for Destiny 2 to tell its story.

If you've been dreading trying to pass through the maze that is the Corridors of Time, good news: You can now just grab the Bastion quest from Saint-14 in the Tower, provided you've completed his storyline quests, which include An Impossible Task and Recovering the Past. Check out our complete Bastion guide to get your new Exotic weapon as quickly as possible. If you need Exotics without the work, you can visit Xur, who's back in the solar system and is offering Monte Carlo, a new Exotic from the Shadowkeep expansion that was previously only available from random drops.

If you want to unlock the lore, story dialogue, and secret emblem from the Corridors, make sure you get it soon. The Corridors of Time will collapse and stop being available with the weekly reset on Tuesday, January 28.

Editor's Note: This post previously repeated Pathway 3 as Pathway 12. We've corrected the error with the correct version of Pathway 12.

The quest returns you to the Corridors of Time, that weird interdimensional gateway used by the Vex and which is linked to Osiris's Sundial on Mercury. We last ventured through the Corridors of Time to find and save Saint-14 earlier in the season. Now that that's accomplished, Osiris wants you to head back into the Corridors and explore them to figure out what their deal is.

To start the quest, head to Osiris on Mercury and talk to him. Claim the "Exploring the Corridors of Time" quest from him, then activate the Sundial to transport yourself back to the strange realm. After that, it's a matter of figuring out the path; the Corridors are a series of doorways that link to big rooms full of Vex, and each of the doorways is marked with a sign. Community members on Destiny's r/raidsecrets subreddit have worked together to determine which paths are required to navigate the Corridors and avoid getting lost.

Corridors Of Time Solution

As it turned out, each pass through the Corridors of Time produced a code, which the Destiny 2 community determined created a map of the Corridors. Piecing together the map provided a new pathway through the Corridors, which ultimately completes this step of the "Exploring the Corridors of Time" mission. Note that if you want to unlock all the lore and the secret emblem hidden in the Corridors of Time, you should do those steps first, before completing the quest by entering this solution.

Here's the sequence to complete the Corridors of Time:

1. Clover
2. Diamond
3. Snake
4. Clover
5. Plus
6. Plus
7. Hexagon
8. Hexagon
9. Hexagon
10. Plus
11. Diamond
12. Plus
13. Snake
14. Diamond
15. Clover
16. Snake
17. Plus
18. Plus
19. Snake
20. Snake
21. Hexagon
22. Diamond
23. Clover
24. Plus
25. Diamond
26. Hexagon
27. Hexagon
28. Diamond
29. Plus
30. Diamond

Finishing the quest leaves you with a bit of story dialogue and reveals who that tomb you've been seeing in the Timelost Vault actually belongs to. The quest also gets you set up to complete the quest to earn Bastion, the season's next Exotic weapon.

The Pigeon and the Phoenix Lore Book Codes

Discovering the final solution to the Corridors of Time was a pretty huge undertaking. The first step in the puzzle was to work through 19 different pathways through the maze, with the Corridors dishing out lore drops as you complete each one in the new "The Pigeon and the Phoenix" lore book. The codes for each pathway appeared each hour on the Sundial obelisks scattered around the solar system. The paths lead you to a place called the Timelost Vault, and activating an object there (marked, ominously, with "???") reveals a bunch of symbols on the floor below.

Each of the 19 codes reveals a portion of a larger map that the community reconstructed--and following that map earns you a secret emblem. In the meantime, to get all 19 pieces of the lore book, you'll need to access the Timelost Vault through all 19 pathways. The pathway to unlock the emblem is located below.

Once you reach the Vault and activate it, you can keep walking forward to get teleported back to the beginning of the Corridors. Approach the blank sign to the left of the first door to reset the Corridors so you can start the next pathway.

There's also a special emblem that the Destiny 2 community discovered hidden in the Timelost Vault: the Savior of the Past emblem. That code was discovered by piecing together various players' images from the floor of the Timelost Vault every time they entered it with a new code, and stitching those pieces together revealed a new code that led to the emblem. It requires a slightly more involved pathway to unlock. Here's how to reach it.

Savior of the Past Emblem Code

11. Snake

While the 19 pathways gleaned from obelisks earn you the lore book allowed the community to build the map to the emblem, that wasn't enough to finish the quest and solve the mystery of the Corridors of Time. The community used the codes found in the emblem Timelost Vault to construct the Corridors of Time map, using the images revealed beneath the floor of the Timelost Vault. Building the map took days, but it's finally been solved.

Visit Saint-14

Once you enter the final code for the Corridors of Time, you'll be sent back to Saint-14 for the next step. Talk to him and he'll send you to the Tangled Shore to kill Fallen enemies. Make sure you complete the Corridors of Time on a character with which you've also finished the other Saint-14 quests in order to progress the "Exploring the Corridors of Time" quest. He'll give you the next step, "Memento," which puts you on the road to earning Bastion.
