How to Unlock the Izanami Forge in Destiny 2

With this new Destiny 2 Forge having just been released for players, the community has been looking to figure out how they can unlock the power of the new Forge in Destiny 2. According to Reddit user Nico3779, players will unlock the first step in the quest line that will unlock this particular Destiny 2 Forge by killing Vex enemies on the planet of Nessus. 

Doing this will open up the Vex Transponder quest step that will require players to eliminate 100 Vex enemies. This will in turn begin the entire quest line that needs to be completed in order to unlock the machine. You can find each step of the legendary Rekindle the Flames quest line that will unlock the new Forge in Destiny 2 below thanks to Destiny 2 database light.gg.

• 1. Vex Transponder

  This curious Vex device is receiving a signal with a signature close to the one used by the Black Armory. Defeat Vex anywhere on Nessus to track the signal's origin.

• 2. Transponder Signal Lost

  The Vex seem to have predicted your movement. The signal has been jammed by a powerful conflux in the Hallows. Complete a Heroic "Spire Integration" public event to clear the interference.

• 3. Vex Transponder

  The signal is clearer, which narrows down the search area. Destroy Vex Minotaurs in Artifact's Edge, the Hallows, the Glade of Echoes, and Watcher's Grave to calibrate the device further.

• 4. Black Armory signature

  The source of the Vex transponder signal has been located. Go to this unexplored area of Nessus and track the signal that is using a Black Armory signature.

• 5. Broken Izanami Igniter

  You found the lost Forge, but this forge has released something… unexpected. Show the item to Ada-1, who may be able to identify it.

  Collect components from the Heroic version of the following public events to begin repairing the igniter: - Fallen "Glimmer Extraction" - Hive "Witches' Ritual" - Vex "Spire Integration"

• 7. Refurbished Izanami Igniter

  The igniter is partially mended, but not yet fully repaired. Collect components to repower the Izanami igniter. - Blended Ether from Fallen precision multikills - Condensed Blights from Taken Blights in Lost Sectors on Io - Radiolarian Vapor from the investigation on Nessus

• 8. Repowered Izanami Igniter

  Use the Volundr Forge to repower the Izanami igniter.

• 9. Repaired Izanami Igniter

  The igniter is fully repaired. Bring it to Ada-1 for inspection.

• 10. Repair the Izanami Igniter

  Complete this advanced version of "The Insight Terminus" and collect a Cabal component from the boss to fully repair the Izanami igniter.

• 11. Reignite the Izanami Forge

  Now that the igniter is fully repaired, use it to reignite the Izanami Forge.

• 12. Return to Ada-1

  Return to Ada-1 to report on the status of the Izanami Forge.
