Want help completing the Curse quests in Destiny 2? We got you covered.
With the start of Episode: Heresy, Bungie introduced a brand-new exotic quest, The Taken Path. For diligent players who manage to complete all the steps, the reward is the unique Barrow-Dyad exotic SMG.
One of the steps in the exotic quests requires you to complete three supplementary quests: Curse of Endurance, Curse of Urgency, and Curse of Revenge.
Curse of Endurance quest in Destiny 2
Completing the Curse of Endurance is relatively simple as there are only three steps in this quest. The other two follow the same pattern.
First, go to the Moon and start the Altars of Sorrow public event. You can use the Sorrow's Harbor landing zone to get there faster.
Once you're in the area, a marker will appear on your screen, follow it to find a small Taken blight and the following message: "Accept Curse of Endurance."
Become one with the Taken
By communing with the Taken blight you'll become shrouded by Taken power. You'll also have a small timer above your HUD. During the power-up, get as many Hive eliminations as you can without letting the time run out.
Eventually, the quest step will complete and you'll be able to move on to the next step.
Steps 2 and 3 are shared among all the quests so we'll move on to explaining what you need to do to progress the other two quests first.
Curse of Urgency quest in Destiny 2
For Urgency, head over to the Hallowed Grove Lost Sector in the European Dead Zone. You can use The Sludge landing zone to make it there in no time.
Get rid of all the curses
Proceed through the Lost Sector as normal, until you reach another small Taken blight spot that will empower you. Use the Taken power to defeat the Lost Sector boss and this step will be completed.
Curse of Revenge quest in Destiny 2
For the third Curse quest, you'll need to launch Nightmare Hunt: Pride from the Moon. Don't follow the marker on the map as it leads you nowhere, instead, start the activity from the directory.
Time for some payback
The Taken power-up will show up in the final room of the encounter. Dispatch of the boss and other enemies to complete this quest step.
Step 2: Break the protective curses
This step requires you to do the first step of all Curse quests.
Essentially, this should automatically complete as soon as you complete the first step of every Curse quest, moving you directly to the third and final one.
Step 3: Locate and defeat the Hive in the Nether that carries the Taken Osseous Fragment
For the final step we'll head back to the Nether to find more Taken fragments. By this point, all three Curse quests should be on the same step, so in total, you'll be looking for three.
Depending on where you spawn, the locations of the fragments will be different. In our case, these are the locations we spawned in.
Trenchway
As soon as you spawn in the outside area of the Dreadnaught, head inside passing the Tormentor which serves as the final boss of this zone. You'll reach the area with the two mini-bosses that shield each other.
Run past them (if possible) and turn right. Keep going until you see this Thrall statue pictured below.
Thrall statues are what you're looking for
Dispatch the boss that will show up to your left and the Taken Osseous Fragment will spawn on the statue.
The Mausoleum
At this point, you can decide to proceed with the Nether activity or reload to start in a new area. We opted for the latter.
The Mausoleum is relatively easy to spot. From the point you spawn. Head to your right and drop down to the first section of the area where the final boss of this zone shows up. Don't go all the way.
The statue will be in this section. Here's a view from up top to better illustrate where to find it.

Hall of Souls
The third and final one for us was located in the Hall of Souls.
From where you spawn, head straight to the Court of Oryx area. There, turn slightly to your left to see a few Strand-looking tangles. The statue is to the left of where they are.
Can't miss it
Once you pick it up, you'll complete all Curse quests and be one step closer to getting your hands on the Barrow-Dyad exotic SMG.
