Collecting all eight Visions of the Traveler in Destiny 2’s Pale Heart is crucial for Guardians seeking to unlock the coveted Khvostov Exotic Auto Rifle. These hidden Destiny 2 Traveler Collectibles, also known as Visions of the Traveler, not only offer fragments of lore about the enigmatic Traveler but also reward you with Motes of Light. These Motes are essential; when combined with others from Overthrow activities, they form a key to a special chest containing valuable rewards. However, pinpointing the exact Destiny 2 Traveler collectibles locations can be challenging as they are cleverly concealed within the vast regions of the Pale Heart. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on how to find all Destiny 2 Visions of the Traveler collectibles and claim your rewards.

There are a total of eight Destiny 2 Traveler collectibles, officially named Visions of the Traveler, scattered throughout the Pale Heart patrol zones. Unlike some secrets, these Destiny 2 Traveler collectibles cannot be missed during campaign missions. To claim your rewards and progress towards the Khvostov Exotic Auto Rifle, you must return each Vision of the Traveler to the Lost City Tower. Specifically, head to the old Speaker’s area, located in the southern part of the Tower on the Pale Heart map – the very place where you first encountered Cayde-6 during the Destiny 2: The Final Shape campaign. Upon reaching this area, you’ll find podiums designed to hold the collectibles. These podiums also offer cryptic clues related to the Destiny 2 Traveler collectibles locations you have yet to discover, offering a hint for those who prefer a bit of a puzzle.

Collecting each Vision of the Traveler grants you a Pale Heart Engram, Glimmer, 150 Ghost Reputation, and, most importantly, a Mote of Light. Gathering all eight Motes of Light from these Destiny 2 Traveler collectibles is a vital step in obtaining the Destiny 2 Khvostov Exotic Auto Rifle. These eight Motes, combined with nine additional Motes of Light earned from Overthrow activities, create a Mote of Primordial Light. This key item is used to open a special gold chest that directly rewards you with the Khvostov. As you collect each Vision, you’ll also hear insightful commentary from Micah-10, who interprets the visions you uncover, adding to the lore and narrative experience. Here’s a breakdown of where to find each Vision of the Traveler:
Destiny 2 Vision of the Traveler Location: The Lost City

In the Lost City’s central hub area, just outside the Arbor of Light section of the Tower, navigate to the northwest. Use the orange platforms to jump across the gaps and reach the far end of this area, where you’ll find a series of waterfalls. The Destiny 2 Traveler collectible in this location hovers serenely within a pool of water at the base of one of these waterfalls.

Begin at the Landing fast travel point. Immediately turn left and follow the natural rock wall along the edge of the map. Continue along this wall until you encounter another waterfall. The Destiny 2 Traveler collectible is situated next to this waterfall, although it may be partially concealed by a bush, so keep a close eye out.
Destiny 2 Vision of the Traveler Location: Refraction

Starting from the circular room where you unlock the Facet of Justice Prismatic Fragment, exit the room and head across to the opposite cliffside within the Refraction area. Look directly beneath the room you just exited, and you’ll notice a cave opening with a waterfall cascading from it. Jump across to this cave entrance to find the Destiny 2 Traveler collectible waiting inside.
Destiny 2 Vision of the Traveler Location: Blooming

Make your way towards the large cave entrance that leads to the Seclusion area. As you face the entrance, shift your focus to the right and locate the tall, distinctive, gnarled tree standing nearby. Look closely at the branches of this tree, and you should spot the Destiny 2 Traveler collectible resting at the end of one of its branches.
Destiny 2 Vision of the Traveler Location: Seclusion

The Seclusion Vision of the Traveler requires a specific Cyst variant to be active. Ensure that the Searing Light Cyst is active before proceeding from the Blooming area. Once confirmed, head to Seclusion and locate the waterfall situated atop the hill. Pass through this waterfall to enter the cave system that leads to the Hive rune barrier.

Shoot the Hive runes to dispel the barrier and continue along the path. Just before you reach the room containing the Solar totem, take a right turn and jump up into the opening in the wall. This hidden alcove houses the Destiny 2 Traveler collectible for Seclusion.
Destiny 2 Vision of the Traveler Location: Divide

Travel to the mountaintop entrance of the Cosmodrome wall within the Divide area. Locate the large satellite dish structure at the top of the left side of the wall. The Destiny 2 Traveler collectible is hidden behind this dish. While in this area, consider also collecting the nearby Facet of Honor Prismatic Fragment and unlocking the Facet of Command within the wall for additional bonuses.
Destiny 2 Vision of the Traveler Location: Impasse

Navigate to the northeastern corner of the Impasse region, where you’ll find a pale gray Darkness structure. The Destiny 2 Traveler collectible is prominently placed on top of a column, flanked by two taller, spire-like structures. It’s easily visible once you reach the correct location within Impasse.

Continue deeper into the Transgression area, moving past several sections affected by sandstorms. Proceed until you reach an area characterized by bright, white light and a landscape featuring a mix of black pillars and twisted trees. This location is situated quite deep within Transgression, as indicated on the map.

Keep to the left side of the path as you explore this area. Eventually, you will spot a tree emitting a faint, red light. The final Destiny 2 Traveler collectible is located just behind this tree, marking the last Vision to collect in the Pale Heart.
Once you have gathered all eight Visions of the Traveler, return to the Lost City Tower and place them on the designated podiums. This will reveal a gold chest. If you have also collected all the Motes of Light from Overthrow activities, the Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bits, and possess the Legendary Khvostov, you will be able to open this chest and claim the Exotic Khvostov 7G-0X Auto Rifle!
