How to complete Memories of Loss in Destiny 2 – Puzzle: Rune Patterns

Before you can make your way forward in Destiny 2’s The Witch Queen expansion, you’ll need to solve another series of Rune Patterns. This is the second set of patterns that you’ll need to complete, for the Memories of Loss quest. You’ll need to hit the correct rune pattern to progress through this portion of the game. In this guide, we cover how to complete Memories of Loss in Destiny 2, and decipher the correct Rune Pattern puzzle.

Part 1

Having already completed at least one of these rune puzzles, you probably have a good idea of what you need to do. Yours will look similar to the runes that were shown to us, pictured below.

The goal is to shoot the correct runes displayed before you. The ones you want to shoot will be slightly different than the other runes, meaning you’ll want to stand close to the wall to thoroughly examine each of the runes. The pattern and the ones you need to shoot will be different each time, so we cannot give you the exact location or point them out for you.

When you shoot the correct rune, you’ll see lights appearing above the wall, showing you’ve made progress. You’ll need to shoot the three correct runes to progress through the story. If you shoot the incorrect one, the glyphs will disappear, and you will have to start over.

Part 2

After completing the first set of runes, you’ll have to head over to the right side of the room to complete another series of rune puzzles. Similar to the previous ones, you’ll need to pick out which of the runes contrast the others. While they are set up differently, these runes follow the same logic, so make sure to shoot the ones that look unique from the others. However, it will be the same symbol, so check the entire room to find the unique symbol.

When you shoot the correct one, you’ll see a glyph floating above it, similar to the rune wall when you started this puzzle. You will need to explore the entire room to find all three of the glyphs.
