Destiny 2 Lightfall | From Zero quest walkthrough

Here's our step-by-step guide on region chests and more.

From Zero is likely the first side quest you’ll pick up while playing through Destiny 2; Lightfall, forcing you to venture out into Neptune to do a bit of treasure hunting.

If you’re struggling to find region chests, or perhaps doing activities in Neomuna, we’ve written up this quick From Zero quest walkthrough so you can finish this up as fast and frustration-free as possible.

Watch the launch trailer for Destiny 2: Lightfall here!

How to get From Zero quest in Destiny 2: Lightfall

You’ll first be given the quest From Zero… after making your way to Neptune and introducing yourself to Nimbus. He’s your reputation NPC for the area, as well as the source of several quests and valuable rewards while you play.

Completing From Zero isn’t necessary to progress through the main Lightfall story, but it will show you the ropes in Neomuna and give you a sweet gun too. This is especially worth doing if you’re lacking the light level for some of the other content available to you.

From Zero quest | Step one

Your first task in the From Zero quest is to collect three region chests, which you can see on the Neptune map marked by a small white cross.

Any three will do, so if you want to track them down quickly we recommend checking out our guide on all the region chest locations to get through this step as fast as possible.

At this point, you’ll need to complete activities out in Neomuna. You can go about this however you like, but if you’re at a low light level, we recommend doing patrols. Specifically Scan and Survey patrols as they don’t require you to do much fighting. Obviously, if you’ve got the gear to handle enemies, do as many as you like.

These are the fastest to do, by far.

Each patrol gives 15% progress each, so a few minutes of grinding these out should be sufficient. Once you’ve run out of quick patrols in your area, jump on the sparrow (or fast travel if you have that unlocked) to a different zone.


From Zero Quest | Step 3

From here, you’ll need to head into the Esi Terminal to defeat Shadow Legionary Trask. If you head to your quest menu and track the From Zero quest, you’ll get a waypoint that should take you all the way to him.

Once you see this, you'll be fighting Trask.

If you need a reminder on how to progress forward through the Esi Terminal, turn left as soon as you make your way into the zone from the Zephyr Concourse, and you’ll eventually come across an open combat area with Trask waiting for you.


From Zero Quest | Step 4

Once you’ve killed him, return to Nimbus and you’re done! Your reward is the Iterative Loop Fusion Rifle, with an extractable weapon pattern too so you can do some Lightfall weapon crafting and make it your own.

Congratulations. Enjoy your gun!

Also, if you've progressed through the main story enough, you’ll be able to pick up the To Hero quest too!
