Step #1: Missive

You need to interact with the Prismatic Recaster near the Drifter in The Tower’s Annex to start the quest.

Step #2: Gift

This step requires you to complete the “Interference” mission on IO. If you’ve been playing Season of Arrivals since the start, you already know that “Interference” is the weekly mission with a Shrieker as the end boss. Simply complete the mission to progress the questline.

Step #3: Pendulum

For this, you’ll need to visit Titan, Mars, and IO in order to collect 25 Calcified Light fragments. As of right now, we don’t know much about these Calcified Light fragments but you’ll need your Ghost to help you find them. In addition to this, you’ll also need to defeat 15 of Savathun’s Marionettes on Titan and IO.

Step #4: Feed

To complete this step, you need to score 25 precision multikills, 100 Void kills, and earn 18 points of completion from Gambit or Reckoning. You can slap your favorite Void-energy weapon e.g. Recluse, Gnawing Hunter, Tractor Cannon to complete them in the same go. It shouldn’t take you more than a few runs to complete this step.

Step #5: Shape

Once you’re done, simply return to Prismatic Recaster to earn the new Ruinous Effigy exotic Trace Rifle.
