Steps to obtain the Barrow-Dyad Exotic quest in Destiny 2

1) The Nether

To start, open up a Nether instance via the Last City map. We recommend opening up an Exploration-Private instance and checking if the spawn point is either in the Hall of Souls or the Trenchway. In one of these two areas, you should be looking for a special Taken Blight that spawns in a specific location.

If you get Mausoleum as the first spawn point, we recommend exiting to the Orbit and reloading back in. The Taken Blight's spawn is based on luck, so if you do not see the Blight in Trenchway or Hall of Souls after spawning, you must exit and reload back in.

Here are the locations of the Blight in Hall of Souls and Trenchway:

Spawn in and head straight for the middle platform where the encounter boss fight takes place. Next, take a right inside the area where you fight the Tormentor for one of the rituals in The Nether. This is the same location as the opening encounter in the King's Fall Raid.

Look for the Blight on one of the upper-right pillars. You can reach this Blight by hopping on the invisible platforms that appear below the Blight.

Spawn in and look to your left. You will find the Blight hanging on top of a pillar from the spawn point.

2) Inside the Blight

Once you enter the Blight, stand on the small platform pointing in front.

Look at the Hive rune in front until you see a symbol form in full. Next, look at the left-bottom corner of your screen for a message saying "Something whispers to the right."

Hop off the platform by pressing the "right movement" key. Doing so will teleport you in front of an Altar.

Interact with the Altar to receive an Exotic item called Taken Osseous Fragment.
