*Destiny 2* players are diving into the new Episode, *Heresy*, filled with excitement over *Star Wars* items and fresh activities. Amidst this buzz, a mysterious material known as the Curio of the Nine has caught everyone's attention. So, what exactly does the Curio of the Nine do in *Destiny 2*?

What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

As you journey through *Heresy*, the third installment of *Final Shape*, you'll encounter a variety of new items, including both new and returning weapons. Among these, a peculiar material named Curio of the Nine might appear in your inventory. Its description tantalizingly reads, “An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine.”

The Nine, mysterious entities that govern Unknown Space, are intricately linked to this item. However, the purpose of the Curio of the Nine remains shrouded in mystery. When you inspect the item, it cryptically states, “The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…”

This secrecy has driven players to the internet in search of answers, which can be enjoyable for those deeply invested in *Destiny 2*'s lore. However, it might be frustrating for those who prefer a clutter-free inventory and focus solely on the game's action.

Can You Get Rid of Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

Like other items in *Destiny 2*, you have the option to discard the Curio of the Nine once you've acquired it. However, the item's description warns, “While this item does not currently appear to have a purpose, guard it with your life – as it cannot be reacquired if discarded.”

This warning might sound dramatic, but given the enigmatic nature of the Nine, it's wise to heed it. Holding onto the Curio of the Nine, at least throughout *Heresy*, seems like the safest bet.
