How To Complete Enigma Protocol In Destiny 2 (2024)

There is a new expansion in Destiny 2 called The Final Shape, and in the Echoes activity players can now play the Enigma Protocol. It is an echo back to the Season of the Splicer event a couple years ago, and the Enigma Protocol is specifically for three players to complete and enjoy. It is also on a timer, so you have to complete it before that timer runs out. This can make it fairly challenging and it is helpful to know the ins and outs ahead of time to make a successful run.

With The Final Shape in Destiny 2 being released, there are a lot of fun new items, missions, and activities for players to enjoy. The Enigma Protocol is the first Echo in Act 1 that you will be able to run until the act is over. But there are a few steps you will have to take to start the Enigma Protocol activity.

Unlocking The Enigma Protocol

The Failsafe

How To Complete Enigma Protocol In Destiny 2 (2)

This episode has a primary vendor named Failsafe, and you will have to complete tasks for them in order to unlock the various Echoes. There is an introductory mission that will load automatically after you have finished the main campaign of The Final Shape and defeated the Witness in Destiny 2. You will also have to complete at least one run of the Breach Executable activity before returning to the Failsafe.

You will have a new quest called Encoded Log that will take you to the Well of Echoes location. Following this quest will take you through The Tangle and you will have to fight a Minotaur. After the room is clear a hole will open in the group and you should jump into it, following the tunnels until you reach a mission flag. This mission flag will allow you to start the Enigma Protocol.

After this point you can always use the HELM screen to start the Enigma Protocol Quest, so you do not have to go through these steps every time.

Understanding The Enigma Protocol

Flight Not Fight

How To Complete Enigma Protocol In Destiny 2 (3)

The Engima Protocol is a three-person activity where you are racing the clock more than fighting enemies. It is mostly a platforming activity with an occasional fight thrown in. When the fights do occur, there is always an objective to complete that matters more than killing the enemies.

You can make the runs with less than three players, but it will make it much more difficult to stay down on the time.

The timer is the most important bit of the puzzle. It will start at one minute and count down from there. The landscape around you will turn red when it is under a minute, which is how you know you are running out of time. There are two ways to extend your timer, both of which will give you an extra 30 seconds:

  • Shooting yellow diamond constructs
  • Killing Harpies (Archival Timekeepers) in the fight arenas

It will be helpful to bring weapons in Destiny 2 that can be used at a distance, making it easier to hit the yellow diamonds and kill enemies if needed. Typically, ignore additional enemies and focus on the objectives so that you do not run out of time. Make sure you and your other two teammates are about at the 2000 or higher power level, as anything less will make the mission very difficult.

Running The Enigma Protocol

Multiple Loot Chests

How To Complete Enigma Protocol In Destiny 2 (4)

You will have two main sections of the activity, each of which will have a loot chest at the end. You will have a series of platforming sections and arena objectives intermixed before arriving at a loot chest, at which point you can either keep going to the second loot chest or start the activity over. If you choose to carry on, you will have to face a Vex Minotaur, a boss in Destiny 2, before getting a better loot chest.

If you want to reset the mission, choose to activate the Force Reboot Network Instance button, otherwise jump into the portal to keep going. The loot chests are primarily a source for you to earn Season of Dawn weapons, but there is also a rare emblem for you to find as an incentive to keep making more runs.

Encounters In The Enigma Protocol

A Set Pattern

In Act I, it seems like most of the encounters are the same each time as you go through The Enigma Protocol. This makes sense as it allows you to increase your speed each time as you get to know each encounter. To see someone make the full run, check out YouTuber Esoterickk in the video above. Below is a table containing the encounters and some information about each of them:

When you have cleared all the yellow diamonds in a particular encounter you will receive a message that says Zone Security Cleared! There are usually three yellow diamonds per encounter.

Encounter

Notes

Networked Grid 1

A platforming section where you will want to get to the far side and enter a portal.

Experimental Grid 1

The objective arena where one of you must grab the orange ball and charge it to full power, which can be done in walls of light. Complete the objective once it’s charged by dropping it in the receptacle in the center of the room.

Networked Grid 2

This is a platforming section but more twisting and turning than before. Check corners and around walls for the next path point if it is not obvious.

Experimental Grid 2

Activate the Vex Portal by killing the Goblins to get more orange balls and throw that at the floating Harpies to destroy them.

Bridge 1

A platforming section with a sparrow track. Shoot the silver diamond to create the sparrow track and hop on. It will take you automatically, but keep an eye out to shoot at yellow diamonds.

Archival Grid 1

A break from the rush, the first loot chest is in this room, along with the two options to continue.

Networked Grid 4

Another platforming run, but this one is littered with enemies you will have to destroy or run past.

Experimental Grid 3

Shoot the bubbles to drop pink Motes of Encrypted Golden Age Data.

Networked Grid 3

This is a longer platforming section with enemies in your way, gaps, and very narrow pathways. Note, this one is numbered out of numerical order in the game.

Experimental Grid 4

The only actual boss fight in the group, fight off a Vex minotaur boss named Ainigmatos, The Indecipherable Proto-Mind. Once defeated, immediately jump into the portal that appears to finish the run.

Bridge 2

Jump onto the sparrow track and ride it down automatically again.

Archival Grid 2

This is the second loot chest room and the end of The Enigma Protocol.

Once you have finished your run, you can collect your loot and choose to be done or try another run for even more loot. With more practice you can improve on your time and try to get the best run possible and win the best loot in The Enigma Protocol in Destiny 2.
