Destiny 2: Where to find the Ethereal Charms

The Destiny 2: Shadowkeep expansion brings a slew of brand new weapons to the game for Guardians to collect and use in battle, but there's a twist: if you want to earn them, you'll need to go out and collect some critical components for them first. The Ethereal Charms item is one such component, and you'll need it to craft the A Fine Memorial, a deadly Heavy Machine Gun. Here's where to find the Ethereal Charms, as well as how to get there.

How to find the Ethereal Charms

To get started on the path to the Ethereal Charms, head to the Moon and spawn in at the Sanctuary area where Eris Morn is located. After you load in, hop onto your Sparrow and go along the path to the right that leads to the Anchor of Light area. Go straight until you come across a fork in the path that lies directly in front of a Fallen outpost, which you can identify by the orange walls that are partially covered by a purple cloth.

Ignore the Fallen troops and take the right path that the fork connects to until you come across a small canyon. Travel through the canyon until you come out near the entrance to a Hive structure called the Temple of Crota. Kill the Hive sentries outside and enter the temple.

Sprint directly forward on the lower level of the temple until you see a large hole in the floor illuminated with blue lighting. Hop down the hole and turn around, then head down the hallway to your right until you come across a big room with a hollow, collapsed structure in the middle that has a pillar in the center.

Run through the structure and straight past the pillar, ignoring the Hive soldiers. Jump over the small gap to the other side of the large room and turn left, following the hallway down. Soon after, you'll come across an entrance to a room on your right that has a massive pillar in the center, similar to the aforementioned collapsed structure in the last room.

Once you go into the room a few feet, a waypoint will appear on your HUD. Follow it across to the side of the room opposite from the entrance, and you'll find the Ethereal Charms on the ground. It takes a few seconds to pick them up, and a large contingent of Hive spawn in this room, so it's a good idea to clear them out first before attempting to nab the Ethereal Charms.

What else do you need to finish?

A Fine Memorial is an excellent Machine Gun, but you will need more than just the Horned Wreath to forge it. You will need to use a different Machine Gun to kill enemies on the Moon while completing activities, too.

The activities are simple. You need to loot chests, do Public Events, and complete Lost Sectors all over the Moon. As long as you use a Machine Gun for all of those activities, you will quickly complete both requirements at the same time.
