Not Forged In Light

Not Forged in Light is a quest that rewards the exotic pulse rifle No Time To Explain.

Unlocking
The quest is unlocked by playing the mission Paradox on a day that it is chosen as the Daily Heroic Story Mission. If this is the case, 3 dead ghosts will be present during the mission in obscure locations. Collecting them will allow the player to access an alternate path beyond the normal end of the mission, eventually discovering a chest containing a curiosity called the Cult Ghost. The Cult Ghost may be given to Lakshmi-2 to complete this preliminary step. The next time Paradox is the Daily Heroic, the remaining quest steps will become available.

Stages

 * Earn reputation through donations to the Future War Cult

After pledging to FWC, 1000 reputation must be earned through donating Motes of Light, Armor Materials, Weapon Parts, or Heavy Ammo Synthesis.


 * Obtain a Simulation Core from a Taken Minotaur and shatter it

Any Taken Minotaur will do; they are often found on Venus and Mars during Taken Blight Public Events. The Simulation Core will be delivered upon its death, it must be shattered from the inventory screen to proceed to the next stage.


 * Obtain the Eye of Atheon and shatter it

Complete the Vault of Glass raid. Every player in the fireteam with this quest stage active will receive the Eye when Atheon is defeated. Again, it must be shattered from the inventory to proceed to the next step.


 * Approach Twilight Gap

A mission named Shadows at Twilight must be completed, in which the player explores the Crucible map Twilight Gap while using pools of light to stave off a blinding effect. At a random location in the map will be a Loot Chest containing a quest item; once this item is retrieved the mission will end.


 * Approach the Black Garden

A mission named Blood in the Garden is now available. This mission requires the player to kill enemies rapidly to build up and maintain an "anger" meter, causing more and more aggressive enemies to appear and eventually the boss itself. Killing the boss will grant another quest item.

Delivering this final item to Lakshmi-2 will award No Time To Explain.
