As you explore Pale Heart, you will eventually come across Mote of Light upon visiting Traveler’s core in Destiny 2. The game does not exactly tell you what you can do with this resource, which is why some in the community are a bit confused about what they should use it for.
Motes of Light are used to unlock the Khvostov 7G-0X Exotic in Destiny 2. However, you will need a fair amount of them to get your hands on the weapon. So it’s important to not miss out on a single one.
How to get every Mote of Light in Destiny 2
There is a total of 17 Motes of Light in Destiny 2. One mote is located in the eight Traveler’s Visions while the other nine are obtained by completing the Overthrow boss encounters.
In the Final Shape expansion, each of the Overthrow zones has three bosses which you can reach at the end of each activity.
Here is a list of all the nine bosses that you will need to face to get a Mote of Light:
- Ir Okmarr, Devoted to Savathûn (The Landing)
- Nolakh, Star-Eater (The Landing)
- Mharuk, Sky-Stealer (The Landing)
- Voxelos, Taken by the Witness (The Blooming)
- Kholon, Taken by the Witness (The Blooming)
- Koftiks, Taken by the Witness (The Blooming)
- Rhuna, Subjugator of Chasms (The Impasse)
- Rhaska, Subjugator of Thresholds (The Impasse)
- Araaxen, Reverent of the Witness (The Impasse)
How to use Mote of Light in Destiny 2
Once you have gathered all the Motes of Light, they will automatically convert into Mote of Primordial Light. You will need this item to get your hands on the Khvostov 7G-0X Exotic.
What is the Mote of Primordial Light in Destiny 2?
The Mote of Primordial Light is one of the steps that you will need to achieve to get your hands on the Khvostov 7G-0X Exotic. You will only be able to get the item once you have obtained every Mote of Light that the expansion has to offer, so if you are looking to get your hands on the weapon, then you will have to go through every Traveler’s visions and the nine Overthrow bosses.
