Buried Bloodline is the insanely good Exotic Sidearm only received from the Destiny 2 Warlord’s Ruin Dungeon. Getting the Catalyst is tough, butit’s worth it to make Buried Bloodlineeven better. Here is how to get the Buried Bloodline Catalyst in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 Buried Bloodline Catalyst: How to complete the prison puzzle
The first puzzle in the Warlord’s Ruin Dungeon you need to complete isfound in the jail, so beat the first boss and get here. Aftergetting out of the prison, follow the river to the gate and see a Taken Blight.Shoot thiswith Buried Bloodline and you’ll see a few torches light up. There arefour torchesin total and the order is always random.
After shooting the Taken Blight, you’ll see four Taken Totems in four cells.The torches correspond to the Taken Totemsas they do in the image I created above (excuse my crude illustration skills).
So if torches two and four light you, you need to stand next to the Taken Totem in the corner cell by the chest and the corner cell by the exit until they light up. After the Imminent Wish buff counts down, if you’ve done it wrong, you’ll need to shoot the Taken Blight and try again, but if you’ve done it right,you’ll see a messagereading, “An unspoken wish is silenced. Buried Bloodline clicks audibly.” you’re able to now move on to the next puzzle.
Destiny 2 Buried Bloodline Catalyst: How to complete the bridge puzzle
The second puzzle in the Warlord’s Ruin Dungeon is located just before entering the seweron the bridge section. First,clear out all the addsin the area. Then, return to the start of the bridge and you’ll seethe Taken Blight up and to the left hugging the keep.
After shooting the Taken Blight, you’ll have the same Imminent Wish, torch, and Taken Totem puzzle before you. This one is more straightforward becausethe five torches run left to right and pair up with the Taken Totems left to right.
For example, if torches one, three, and five are lit, you need to stand next to the Taken Totem nearest to the bridge, the Taken Totem directly in the middle, and the Taken Totem on the far right. If you get it correct,you’ll get the same message; if you get it wrong, try again. Next puzzle.
Destiny 2 Buried Bloodline Catalyst: How to complete the stone door puzzle
The last puzzle for the Buried Bloodline Catalyst in the Warlord’s Ruin Dungeon is atthe mountainous spire location with stone doors spread out and a Taken Blight in the middle. The Taken Blight you need to shoot for this puzzle isfound inside the stone door on the left side.
There are four torches here and they are around the middle stone door. The order is one to four from left to right. Like the bridge puzzle,they line up with the Taken Totemsthat go left to right. Luckily, gettingthe Dragon’s Breath Catalystisn’t this hard.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with this area because it can be hard to find the Taken Totems since they are on top of the mountainous spires. One ison the top left mountainous spire, two ison the edge between one and three, three ison the floating rock near the Taken Blight in the middle, and four ison the right next to the door on the right. Complete it and move on.
Destiny 2 Buried Bloodline Catalyst: How to defeat Primeval Thressia
Lastly, you need toget to the spire that leads to the final boss. In the center at the base of the spire is a glowing white ball. Interact with it toopen the Cairn Chamber Gateway.
Here, you’ll see a chamber and a Taken witch named Primeval Thressia, Font of Blight will spawn.The same mechanic you’ve been doing to solve the puzzlesis how you start the DPS phase.
In the center of the room around the pile of bones, you’ll seethree torches on the left and three torches on the right. On the stage, you’ll see three Taken Totems on the left and three Taken Totems on the right. From back to front, the Taken Totems go one, two, three — that’s how they correspond.
From here, all you need to do is read the torches and activate the Taken Totems correctly. After you do that, you’llstart a DPS phase on Primeval Thressia.Rinse and repeat this processuntil Primeval Thressia is defeated and you’ll get a chest on the left, but more importantly, you’llget the Buried Bloodline Catalyst.

Unlike other Catalysts, the Buried Bloodline Catalyst in Destiny 2 is 100% worth it. The weapon’s perks give you health on kills and multiple final blows give you Devour. The Catalyst makes every single round fired from Buried Bloodline while you have DevourWeaken enemies. It’s really good.
First, you need toget Buried Bloodline, which isn’t easy. We have a guide to help youget Buried Bloodline, but it unfortunately comes down to weekly RNG. Second, you need tocomplete the In the Shadow of the Mountain quest, which requires you tofarm Dark Ether Tincture, acquire Blighted Wishing Glass from bosses and chests, andcollect all Hefnd’s Bones.
Once you have Buried Bloodline and In the Shadow of the Mountain is complete, you canstart the puzzlerequired to get the Buried Bloodline Catalyst. It’s a three-part puzzle with a boss at the end.
You can make entire builds around Buried Bloodline since it’s fast, hits hard, and grants Devour and Weakens targets.Weakenis one of the best verbs in Destiny 2; it makes targets take 15% more damage in PvE and 7.5% more damage in PvP. I recommend pairing the weapon with your bestVoid WarlockorVoid Hunterbuild toget the most mileageout of the Void synergy.
