Destiny 2 Forsaken Guide - How to Get the Wish-Ender Raid Exotic Bow

(Images within courtest Shacknews)

When we all saw the first Bows coming to Destiny 2: Forsaken, we knew they would have to be awesome to compete with some of the ridiculous guns we can get our hands on in this game. Sure enough, Bows freakin' rule. So when word came out about an Exotic Bow being in the game somewhere, Guardians from across the Solar System were clamoring to get their hands on it. Well Guardian, the wait is over. Here's how to get your Wish-Ender Bow. 

How to Acquire the Wish-Ender Exotic Bow

The crux of the Wish-Ender is Forsaken's Shattered Throne dungeon, one of the most challenging pieces of endgame content currently in the game. To get a sense of just how hard this dungeon is, it has a higher recommended Power level than Last Wish, the endgame raid. This quest is not for the faint of heart, but will totally be worth it when it's all finished. 

Hit the Tangled Shore

After speaking with the statue after the first boss fight, a new mission will be added to the map, but it will not be visible through the Director. You will need to head to Four-Horn Gulch in the Tangled Shore to locate a mission banner on the right-hand side of the area. All you'll see from this quest are a few question marks and a recommended Power level of 580. Hold the Action button (Square/X) to "Prove Your Worth" to...someone (or something?)

Prove Your Worth

Now it's time to put your Glimmer where your mouth is. Interacting with the banner reveals a new area, Sjursrest. Interact with the plate near the door to gain access to another new area. Fight through the hordes of enemies to reach the main arena. Once there, shoot the Taken Blight in the center to remove the Archersbane Wizards’ shields. Kill the Wizards and prepare for the next fight. The center Blight will shoot out a few Taken bombs, which will then summon in three Taken enemies: Eriviks, the Dreaming; Querim, the Dreaming; and Xavoth, the Dreaming. Defeat these three Taken champions to receive three tokens, each named after the enemies that were just defeated. These Dreaming Tokens must be charged by playing through the Shattered Throne.

Charge Your Dreaming Tokens

Waking Token of Querim

Now that you have the tokens, it's time to charge them. To charge the three Dreaming Tokens,  load up the Shattered Throne and replay through the dungeon once more, although you can stop shortly after the fight with the ogre. Each Dreaming Token is charged by defeating a boss, and each boss only appears after charging a relic.

The Dreaming Token of Querim can be charged at the beginning of the Shattered Throne dungeon. In the area with all the symbols, head to the Tower of the Deep and use the surrounding rocks and statues to climb onto its roof. At the top will be a relic that must be taken to the roof of the center building which has several statues holding a ball. Use the statue as a stepping-stone between the two roofs to make things easier. Drop the relic into the statue without a ball to summon the first boss, Theratos, Archersbane. Once Theratos dies, Querim, the Waking will spawn (no, not the host from First Take.) Defeat Querim to charge the Dreaming Token of Querim, turning it into the Waking Token of Querim. 

The next relic to charge is found during the rafters and ogres section of the Shattered Throne. Continue through the Shattered Throne to the large open room with the thin intersecting beams. From the entrance, look to your right, and find the relic located behind one of the pillars. Standing at the relic with the entrance on the left, the place to deposit the relic will be on the right-hand side of the room (opposite the entrance). You should probably clear out the ogres first.

Waking Token of Eriviks

Before the next boss can be defeated, another relic must be charged. Continue to the hallways filled with Shadow Thrall. Enter the area that gives the Slowed debuff and head up the stairs and take a right. The relic will be in a bowl. Defend the relic holder as they fight through the hallways to the end.The player with the relic must jump through the shadowy veil and down to the lower level. After landing, turn to the right to spot a statue without a ball. Deposit the relic and continue to the next area to charge the next Dreaming Token.

After depositing the relic, continue straight ahead, jumping the gap and go through the large doors. When all Guardians are in the room, the doors will close. Kill all the enemies to summon Eriviks, the Waking. Defeat this Taken Captain to charge the Dreaming Token of Eriviks, turning it into the Waking Token of Eriviks.

Waking Token of Xavoth

The final relic and third Dreaming Token are charged during the boss fight against Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger. Make sure you know how to defeat Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger, as Xavoth, the Waking will not spawn unless one cycle is completed and Wish-Ender will not be earned unless the entire boss fight is finished.

Defeat the Wizards and extinguish one of the flames to summon an invisable minotaur called Fleeting Shade. It should spawn close to the steps at the rear of the room near the exit. Defeat it to summon the last relic on a plate at the stairs leading to the exit. Now lug the relic back to the entrance, the statue without a ball is on the left side of the room when facing the exit. The relic will only despawn if the entire team wipes, carefully clear out the smaller enemies and leave the Wizards and Vorgeth alive. Deposit the relic to summon Xavoth, the Waking. Defeat the Taken Ogre to turn the Dreaming Token of Xavoth into the Waking Token of Xavoth.

Finally Get Your Stinkin' Bow! 

Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger is all that stands between you and your Bow. You know what to do, Guardian. Smite him, then continue up the stairs to the statue of Sjur Eido to see three bowls with alight. Approach the statue of Sjur Eido and collect your Wish-Ender Exotic bow.
