How to get the Destiny 2 Season of Plunder Skeleton Key?

In order to get the Skeleton Key, Guardians will have to complete the introductory mission in Destiny 2 Season of Plunder. During this mission, Guardians will start in one of the buildings in Riis-Reborn on Europa.

From here, Guardians will have to fight their way through the various rooms until they get to the place where Eramis was frozen at the end of the Beyond Light campaign. In one of the first rooms, Guardians will also encounter a pod with The Spider in it.

Over the course of this mission, Guardians will have to defeat Fallen enemies belonging to House Salvation. As they continue to make their way through the rooms, defeating enemies, Guardians will come across some of The Spider's associates. They will help clear out the rooms with other Fallen enemies.

At the end of the mission, the Guardian will be able to see The Spider's Ketch, a vessel that will be very important to them in Destiny 2 Season of Plunder. At the end of the mission, the Guardian will meet other members of the House of Light, including Misraaks Kell, the leader of House Light, at a bar in the Eliksni Quarters in the Last City.

At the end of the cutscene here, the Drifter will hand over the Skeleton Key to the Guardian. With the Destiny 2 Season of Plunder Seasonal Artifact now in hand, Guardians will have to level up throughout the season in order to be able to unlock the different mods that this item has to offer.
