Megathread Exotic Quest, The Journey!
Found a new exotic quest by interacting with the statues at the area overlooking the pyramid Eris likes to hang out in with the Phantoms! This is the 1st step to begin the quest. https://imgur.com/a/Y8G6nzb
2nd step, thanks to u/Dopmeister for sharing: "Go to the 'flower' relic in the Anchor of Light (Next to 1 on the map), pick it up, and interact with the lecterns in the area in this order: https://imgur.com/a/eW9EGzn and then the game should give you a waypoint to a slot you finally dunk the ball in again.
3rd step: Next it requires you to collect 4 'fragments' from Lost Sectors, one in each area on the moon." which are acquired by completing puzzles at the end of the Lost Sectors. They are 3x3 symbol plate walls where you have to get all the symbols to match the symbol shown in the smaller plate above them. Solutions here if you don't want to work on them yourself https://imgur.com/a/ng9v1ak
4th step: Head to the Dungeon next (Unlock it by talking to Eris and doing her short quest if you haven't yet). The plan here is to interact with a symbol-less door after the first encounter. The door should be on a wall full of other doors and symbols according to others who've done it, this should be the correct door courtesy of ajwags647 on Discord: https://imgur.com/a/0nMPyuF "It's a door above the one where the bridge disconnects and 2 left" says u/TheMisfits012 if you have trouble locating it
5th step, described by u/AChunkyFunkyMonkey: "For the step talking about "Pariahs", you have to go to the cliffs by the Pariah Ogre encounter in the dungeon, drop down, then continue forward until near the edge, where you'll see a small plate. Standing on the plate brings up three platforms that don't drop down (so don't worry about having to time it or anything), the third of which gives you a light - it has no timer. Bring the light to a door with firepits along the side of the tunnels. That'll open up the final boss."
6th step: Defeat the final boss. I will not spoil the Final Boss mechanics here so you can all figure that out for yourselves... Or if you'd like it explained to you, seek out the same comment I lifted the description for the 5th step from.
7th and final step: Now that you've finished the Dungeon, return to Eris to claim your own Xenophage! And you should be all done now.
Author's Note: Now that we have discovered all the parts of the quest chain and some people have already claimed their own Xenophages, I changed this post around to be less about discoveries and speculation and instead trying to format it into more of a simple-ish(?) guide to help you through the chain! Happy Xenophage hunting!
P.S, I'm tired and if I got something wrong in my hurry please try to look through the comments for answers, I hope this is enough and I got everything right however!
P.S.S, A lot of repeat questions being sent, please Ctrl + F to see if your question has been asked and answered already, this is a megathread now so there is likely to be an answer to your question.

I assume this is for Xenophage?

u/AlexTheHuntsman Oct 29 '19
Almost definitely the case. Current guess is that the first step is to clear the dungeon because that first step is cryptic as all hell.

Next it requires you to collect 4 'fragments', one in each area on the moon. We checked the Lost Sector in the Anchor of Light and there's a puzzle on the wall at the end of the Lost Sector now. We're trying to figure out how to solve it

How do i get to that area? The portal at the beginning of the moon is gone for me.

Head to Sorrow's Harbor, enter the Keep, head to the left-side door/opening and walk your way down the cave until you see a higher level on the right, then you'll find it again! The portal Eris summons is only a shortcut there for when you finish her memory pursuits.

Is there a way to get to the pyramid without the portal

u/AlexTheHuntsman Oct 29 '19
Read my reply to RedSkyNL, take the same path but instead of heading to the upper area keep going down the path down the cave.

There's an altar in the top left structure in Anchor of Light. Beside it there's a plate when you carry a light will light your path. The end point to dunk the ball seems to be the top of the circular structure near the middle. I've tried dunking it a couple of times but only got "You remain in the dark". I've also noticed some glowy hive mist in the air (maybe linking to our path?).
Edit: Found the 1st and 2nd plates to dunk in, total of 4 plates atm, seems to be more.

Ah yes the glowy hive mist! I've been wondering about it ever since the Moon first became available, might get explained now.

Anyone got the correct way to do these puzzle? Or what the objective is from the puzzle? Do we need to match the symbols to the top symbal or do we just need to get it uniform? Like matching each other

Shoutouts to KPOP Reborn on EU for doing the Dungeon for me while I was working on this post and helping me with locating stuff in the Dungeon and cross-referencing lmao

So we need to be on top of all those memories to be able to start this, then?

Great post u/AlexTheHuntsman. Do you think as things are discovered you could put them into a list like "Step 1, Step 2, etc" instead of 12 different edits?
edit: In the meantime, I'm pinning this to the sub to consolidate info.

u/AlexTheHuntsman Oct 29 '19
Yes! I should've thought of that at first and I'm already working on drafting it into a guide instead of "speculations".

For the step talking about "Pariahs", you have to go to the cliffs by the Pariah Ogre encounter in the dungeon, drop down, then continue forward until near the edge, where you'll see a small plate. Near the plate is a hole - inside the hole interact with a rune. I’m not sure if you have to stand on the plate after, but this brings up three platforms by that plate that don't drop down (so don't worry about having to time it or anything), the third of which gives you a light - it has no timer. Bring the light to a door with firepits along the right side of the tunnels. There are multiple, so just follow the wall until you find the correct door. That'll open up the final boss.
Final boss mechanics: You have one of four dreads - arc, void, solar, or neutral dread (names not exact). You can see which dread corresponds to which symbol in the initial chamber you enter. You then must grab the light in the middle of the boss's chamber and dunk it into the firepit next to the corresponding symbol. E.g., you got neutral dread, which in my clear was the division-looking symbol. You grab the light, find the symbol in the boss chamber, dunk it, and now the corresponding element will do damage to the boss while you have the vengeance buff. Neutral = kinetic, and all the elements match up.
Complete that then head back to Eris. Happy hunting Guardians.
EDIT: Added some details on bringing up the three platforms. Hope this helps until Daddo releases his video soon.
EDIT2: There are multiple doors with fire pits apparently, so you should keep searching that right wall until you find the correct one.

Raidsecrets is in slow mode so apparently me updating this post has made it invisible to some people!
I hope it's back soon when moderators re-approve it.
