You can collect the lost encryption bits from these first versions of the missions, but if you miss them you can see them on the map and complete them again. You’ll be looking for a bunch of random tech to interact with.

How to upgrade your Khvostov to the exotic version

To turn the legendary Khvostov into an exotic one, you must first collect all eight Visions of the travelerscattered throughout the Pale Heart. Clues to all of them can be found in the Speakers’ Chambers in the Lost City. Just follow our guide on where to find all of the Traveler’s Visions to find out the exact locations.

You must also complete all 17 Light particles. Eight light particles come from Visions of the Traveler, and nine more are obtained by killing bosses in Overthrow. Our guide to obtaining light particles will help you track them down. Once you have all 17 light particles, they will transform into the Particles of the original light.

Bring the Primordial Light Particle and your eight Visions of the Traveler to the Speaker’s Chamber. Place the visions on their pedestals to make a chest appear in the water. Use your Primordial Light Particle to open the chest and Exotic Khvostov 7G-0X for themselves.

All done? If you are looking for other The final form Exotics, then we have explanations of Ergo Sum, Still Hunt and Microcosm.
