How to Get Parasite Grenade Launcher in Destiny 2: The Witch Queen

The quest to get Parasite in Destiny 2: Witch Queen isn’t particularly difficult, but it is long with lots of different steps. Let’s go ahead and break down the entire quest below, step by step.

How to Get Parasite in Destiny 2: Witch Queen

  1. Complete the campaign for The Witch Queen and speak to Mara Sov on Mars

  2. Complete the strike, Birthplace of the Vile

    Straight forward enough, just launch it from the director on The Throne World and complete with a fireteam.

  3. Find a Cryptoglyph Rune

    This isn’t hard, just a little annoying. You’ll have a location marked on your map, go to it and kill a bunch of Hive. That’s all! Just make sure to track it by selecting it on your map before heading out to make your life easier.

  4. Defeat 100 Scorn in the Throne World

    Once again, not difficult just annoying. Go around and kill a bunch of Scorn. Try and go for public events when they appear on the map as they frequently feature Scorn.

  5. Head into the Sepulcher Lost Sector

    This lost sector can be found in the Florescent Canal area, you’ll need to clear it out. It’s straightforward, just make sure you’re at least around 1510 or higher to handle the enemies that are in there. The only twist is that you’ll need to interact with deepsight at the end of the sector to get to an altar that will progress the quest.

  6. Complete three patrols in the Florescent Canal area

    Whichever three you want is fine.

  7. Find another Cryptoglyph Rune

    The same thing as before, just make the trek out to your waypoint and kill some Hive.

  8. Head into the Metamorphosis Lost Sector

    This lost sector can be found in Miasma. Same thing, clear it out, use deepsight at the end to find the altar.

  9. Find the last rune.

    This will also take you across the map, however, the rune will be missing. Similar to the lost sectors, you’ll need to use deepsight to see some platforms that will lead you to a chest that contains the rune.

  10. Head into the Extraction Lost Sector

    It’s the last one as far as lost sectors go. Same process as before.

  11. Complete the mission, Parasitic Pilgrimage.

    At the end of the mission, you’ll receive your Parasite grenade launcher.
