How to deactivate Conduits in Destiny 2: The Final Shape Temptation mission

Upon reaching the blocked cave entryway, you’ll notice several waypoints scattered across the map. The key to progressing here is to position the Conduits correctly, aligning them with a light beam. However, the crucial step is to eliminate the Insight Psions. Their defeat grants you Psionic Insight temporarily, a vital resource that allows you to manipulate the Conduits, rotating them either clockwise or counterclockwise.

For a general overview of the Temptation Conduit puzzle solutions in Destiny 2: The Final Shape, use these maneuvers:

  • Conduit 1: Clockwise once
  • Conduit 2:
    • Counterclockwise twice
    • Clockwise twice
    • Counterclockwise once
    • Clockwise once
  • Conduit 3:
    • Clockwise once
    • Counterclockwise five times

We’ll break down each of them to give you a better idea of the solutions for the Temptation puzzles.

Puzzle 1

The first Conduit puzzle is located to the left of the blocked-off cave. Cross the bridge and clear out the nearby enemies. Once the area is secure, eliminate the Insight Psions on the bridge or caves to gain Psionic Insight temporarily. Then, interact with the Conduit, selecting the ‘Clockwise’ position. If you happen to run out of Psionic Insight, don’t worry; more Insight Psions typically spawn during this mission.

Puzzle 2

Go up north to reach the next Conduit puzzle in Destiny 2: The Final Shape. There will be a lot of surrounding enemies nearby, and you’ll need to rotate the Conduit a few times to hit two beams of light. It’ll be fairly tricky to do with all the chaos going on, but just try to get rid of the foes quickly and use the interactions mentioned above. You may also need to Transcend, as you have previously done in Transmigration, to defeat some opponents.

Puzzle 3

The final Conduit puzzle brings you back to the starting area of the Temptation mission. Dispose of any remaining enemies and gain Psionic Insight to manipulate the Conduits. The sequence is one clockwise rotation followed by five counterclockwise rotations.

Once that’s over, it’s time to return to the Crow and progress further in Destiny 2: The Final Shape’s Temptation mission.
