Destiny 2: How To Get The Heartshadow Catalyst (& What It Does)

gamerant.com:

The Duality dungeon in Destiny 2 introduced a variety of new weapons into the game, including its unique Legendary weapons that come with the Bitterspite Origin Trait. On top of that, players can unlock the highly futuristic Hakke Breach Armaments-inspired armor set from the dungeon as well.

Duality comes with its own lore and secrets, but perhaps the most interesting loot is Heartshadow, an Exotic Void sword that has a chance to drop at the end of the Duality dungeon after defeating the Nightmare of Caiatl. The chance of this drop increases as players unlock certain Triumphs in the dungeon. In order to get the Heartshadow's Catalyst, players will also have to return to Destiny 2's Duality to complete a special quest during their run.

Heartshadow can only be earned by completing the Duality dungeon, which can either be purchased separately from Hawthorne or by buying The Witch Queen Deluxe Edition. Duality is a Cabal-themed dungeon that will send players deep into the mind of Emperor Calus.

After the final boss, players have a narrow chance of earning the Heartshadow Exotic sword. However, given how low the chance is, players will want to complete Triumphs within the dungeon to increase this chance. Navigate over to the Duality Triumph Seal to check which Triumphs are marked with a yellow, Exotic engram. These are Triumphs still available to do that can increase the Heartshadow's drop rate.

Unlike most Exotic Catalysts, Heartshadow's Catalyst can't be earned by talking to Banshee-44 like with most other Catalyst quests. Instead, players will need to return to the dungeon after unlocking Heartshadow. Only, this time, a few special enemies will be hiding in specific areas of the dungeon
