The grind doesn't stop for Destiny 2 players, especially those who are looking to get their hands on the new Ergo Sum exotic sword. Considering this new weapon comes with random rolls, it's understandable the community is so excited about it.
Ergo Sum is a brand-new sword introduced with The Final Shape expansion, and getting it requires a few steps. Once you unlock your first one, acquiring subsequent versions of the exotic sword with random rolls is infinitely easier.
So, if you want to know how to unlock the Ergo Sum and the ability to farm for God Rolls, here's everything you need to know. While you're here, consider checking our Dual Destiny exotic mission complete guide to help you unlock the exotic class items.
How to unlock Ergo Sum in Destiny 2
To unlock your first Ergo Sum exotic sword you need to complete multiple quests in the game, including:
- The Final Shape campaign up to mission 7, Iconoclasm
- Complete the Destined Heroes exotic mission
The Destined Heroes exotic quest is rather simple but has some time-consuming steps such as completing two extra quests: List in the Light and Found in the Dark. Once that's done, you'll get your first Ergo Sum and the ability to farm it weekly.
