How to start the quest for Vexcalibur and finish it in Destiny 2 Season of Defiance

1) How to start the Exotic quest

Since the mission for the Exotic Glaive has been added unannounced, the requirement to start the task is a little complicated.

First, you must collect six nodes within the Gulch region of EDZ. To start, head to the waypoint from the map and manage the first node, as shown in the image below.

From there, look behind you underneath the bridge on the opposite side. Glide down to get the second node within approximately 30 seconds, as shown in the image below.

Next, head to the Public Event area, as this particular region can be located by any public event waypoint. The images below should clear out the locations of the third and fourth nodes.

For the fifth node, go towards the tunnel entrance and look to your right. The node should be located on the slope of the hill, as shown in the image below.

The last node can be found on the opposite side of the public event area, on top of a hill. The image below should provide a clearer understanding.

Once you collect all the nodes, head to the cave right before the final node and start the mission by interacting with the friendly Vex Harpy.

The mission occurs within the Vex network, which is reasonably easy to follow. Look for small gaps within the network in the initial stages of the mission to advance further. You must keep two primary mechanics in mind while going through the encounters.

The mechanics are as follows:

• Shoot the signs in order by following the sequence on the map.
• Defeat fanatics to drop pink motes and deposit them in the middle bank.

The final boss sequence follows the Pyramidion Strike from the pre-Beyond Light era, where you must fight in three arenas. Defeat Brakion and return to HELM to acquire the Vexcalibur Glaive.
