Where to find the final Opaque Card – Destiny 2 Season of the Witch

You've been walking past it all along.

Destiny 2: Season 22’s somewhat anticlimactic narrative bait-and-switch might not have fully realized the sheer potential of the relevant batch of content, but it’s not all bad. In fact, Destiny 2 has reestablished itself as one of the best looter-shooters on the market thanks to the many successes of the Season of the Witch, and the new seasonal mechanics and progression systems are a crucial part of this victory. Opaque Cards, in particular, have been a fun aside, allowing players to tweak their Guardians’ active buffs and bonuses as they went, and the final Opaque Card is now available for anyone to grab.

Destiny 2‘s Season of the Witch features a substantial deck of 55 Opaque Cards in total, but the location of the final Card has been a mystery for a while now. This card was particularly important because, on top of providing players with an additional buff (more on that below), it was also needed to unlock the Cartomancy Emblem and the final Imbaru Engine sequence. Learn how to grab it in the next section!

Finding the last Opaque Card in Destiny 2

In classic Bungie fashion, the 55th Opaque Card is hidden away in plain sight. Load up the Altars of Summoning and head on over to the Temple of Flesh, first. You need to be on the lookout for the big open area dominated by a massive Scarlet Keep looking spire. The spire itself is really hard to miss, as there’s a huge glowing webbing stretching out from its top, much like the ones seen in Savathun’s Throne World.

Once you’re in the general area, you should be looking for the big statue of Sathona/Savathun underneath the spire’s waterfalls. This, too, is hard to miss, and the odds are good that you’ve been driving past this statue all season long. Sometimes even shooting out the crystal it was holding, though to no obvious effect.

Well, you’re going to want to shoot out that crystal now, as it’s going to spawn the final Opaque Card for you. Collecting it will unlock all of the following:

  • Minor Arcana: A Gift of Navigation
  • Imbaru Engine – the final test
  • Cartomancy emblem (via the Arcane Knowledge Triumph)

And, once you complete the final sequence in the Imbaru Engine, you’ll also score a bonus Ascendant Shard for your troubles.

Something worth keeping in mind here is that you might not get to see the crystal at all if someone else had gotten around to shooting it out before you got there. That’s fine, though! Even if you don’t get to shoot out the crystal, you can still grab the 55th Opaque Card without issues, so it’s not worth getting concerned over this.
