Where on the Moon is Archie in Destiny 2?

Archie returns to Destiny 2 with a trip to the moon after the weekly reset on May 14, 2024.

This is the latest in a series of “Where in the system is Archie?“Quests as part of the Into the Light update – which are staggered week by week in advance The final form.

Note that this quest will expire with the weekly reset on May 21st and will be replaced by another Archie quest in a new location. Keep this in mind assuming you complete it any Archie quest before the arrival of The final formget the Blue Steel shader, while the backstory for all Archie quests will be available starting June 4th.


How do you start “Where on the Moon is Archie?” in Destiny 2

To start the latest Where’s Archie quest, go to the tower outhouse and look for the paw prints. For future reference, you’ll find the start of each Archie quest here each week.

You can reach this location by using the southwestern-most fast travel point and then heading straight down the corridor. The paw prints appear on the ledge to your right.

Examine the prints and speak to Ada-1 (in the appendix opposite) to start the latest quest.

Now head to the moon and speak to the seller, Eris Morn, at her usual spot in Sanctuary, all the way to the south of the destination. Once this is done, the search begins.

All Archie Moon locations

Here you will find clue by clue where to find Archie on the moon.

“Archie was hoping to use the accelerator to send supplies to his friends throughout the system.” Too bad the location is broken

The first clue takes you to Archer’s Line, the area west of Eris Morn and Sanctuary.

If you’re coming from the south, you’ll see a few paw prints along the way. Go a little further north and you will see an orange platform on the right.

Examine these to get the next clue.


“Archie wanted to see the temple where the Guardians were known to “wake the hive.”

This clue refers to the Temple of Crota, a named area not on the map. To get there, go to Archor of Light and then exit the path to the east.

You know you’re in the right place when “Temple of Crota” appears on the screen

Once inside, stay on the top floor. On the other side are the paw prints you’re looking for.

Next, it’s time to visit the Hellmouth.


“Archie heard of a place where guardians dared to jump to defeat a hive prince.” Then some witches began to perform a ritual at a place

This clue refers to the Hellmouth, a place at the center of the moon.

Specifically, you want to go to this archway at the edge of the opening of the Hellmouth, which is on the west side. (See the map screenshot above for exact location.)

Not far from the arch are the paw prints.

“Archie’s last stop.” He decided to ignore Eris’ warnings and find out what was special about the location of a lunar pyramid

This final location will be familiar to those who have played this Shadow Fortress Extension.

Head to Sorrow’s Harbor – the area to the northeast of the objective – and exit the Northeast Passage, which will find you flanked by red walls and a tower looming in the distance. (See the map screenshot above for exact location.)

At the end, take the entrance to the left and follow the path through the Enduring Abyss and its dark cavern until you see a glimpse of Earth on the horizon. (The path here is linear, so you won’t take a wrong turn.)

Continue until you appear at the pyramid ship. A single paw print on the ground indicates that you are going in the right direction.

We are nearly there. Descend onto the path below and continue until you reach a series of ledges. Archie will be furthest in the middle.

Interact with Archie and then visit Ada in the tower again to complete the quest.

In addition to 10 Valor Trophies – useful for getting more Bravery Weapons – you also get “A Cool Stone”. Whether you keep it is up to you. Archie will be sad if you don’t!

Remember that another Where’s Archie quest will appear next week after the weekly reset. Until then, if you want more to do in the Into the Light update, you can take on Pantheon bosses, complete Zero Hour and find Oracle locations for The Whisper, and upgrade Whisper of the Worm with Possessed Plagues .
