The story of Sails of the Shipstealer continues in Week 3 of Season of Plunder in Destiny 2. Another relic is waiting to be claimed, and Destiny 2 players must get it before Eramis does. The layout of the quest for Week 3 is exactly the same as previous weeks, but it is clear that everything that is happening is setting up some bigger plot points down the road of Season 18.
This guide will show Destiny 2 players what they need to do to get through Week 3 and see the next part of the story in Sails of the Shipstealer.
Use The Star Chart
The first thing that Destiny 2 players will want to do is go to the H.E.L.M. and interact with the Star Chart to get a transmission from Mithrax. He tells players that Eramis is on the move, and they need to get to the relic before she does.
As usual, this means that players must restore a map with the Captain's Atlas and then loot the buried treasure at the end of an Expedition activity. If players need more Map Fragments or Treasure Coordinates to restore a map, they can be obtained from Ketchcrash activities and Core Playlists respectively.
Loot Buried Treasure
Once Destiny 2 players have a map restored, they can loot a buried treasure at the end of an Expedition. Before loading in, players should make sure to adjust their loadout so that they can counter Overload and Unstoppable Champions. Though these Champions aren't guaranteed to spawn, it never hurts to be prepared to deal with them. This step of the quest has another objective where Destiny 2 players will need to get 50 kills on Nessus.
If players get lucky and happen to get an Expedition activity on Nessus, they will get bonus progress on kills which makes it possible to complete both objectives at once. Doing a normal Lost Sector on Nessus is a good way to get kills if players do not get all the kills they need from an Expedition.
Complete Pirate Hideout: The Blademasters
While previous Pirate Hideouts had Destiny 2 players facing off against one boss, the Pirate Hideout for Week 3 has two bosses. Thankfully, players only need to worry about one boss at a time. After doing enough damage to one of the bosses, they will gain an immunity shield and move away from players.
At this time, the other boss will move in and attack. Once the second boss has taken enough damage he will retreat and the process will repeat until both bosses are dead. Destiny 2 players should avoid being within melee range as much as possible as these bosses can do a great deal of damage, especially if players are under 1570 Power.
Go To The Ether Tank
After looting the relic, Destiny 2 players will get the next step of the quest which is to go to the Ether Tank in the Eliksni Quarter and listen to the conversation between Eido and Spider. Not long into the conversation, Mithrax shows up and intervenes before Spider can answer any of Eido's questions about her father.
After the conversation, players will need to use the Holoprojector outside the Ether Tank and talk to Drifter. After that conversation is finished, players will finish Week 3 by visiting Spider and claiming one of the three Engrams he offers.
Destiny 2 is now available for Epic Games Store, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Steam, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
