So you want to earn the new Leviathan’s Breath Exotic bow in Destiny 2? Thankfully, this quest is pretty easy to complete when compared to the lengthy Divinity mission. Broken up across five separate sections, this quest will have you revisiting old Strikes, exploring unique areas in The Tower, and completing Gambit Prime matches. Here’s everything you need to know about obtaining the Leviathan’s Breath.
-
1. Find Banshee-44’s Hidden Workshop
Banshee-44 wants to give you a weapon stored in his workshop, but he didn’t specify how to get in. Locate the hidden entrance to Banshee’s workshop and find the weapon.
Your first task is to locate the Hidden Workshop that Banshee-44 set up somewhere in The Tower. When you land, head towards the hanger to your right. From here, go up the scaffolding stairs to the network of catwalks directly on your left when you enter this room. Follow the path all the way around until you are facing the catwalks about the stairs with the Future War Cult banners.
You’ll find a new door open in this lounge that leads you behind the kiosk. Go through the open door, follow the hall until you reach the storage room, climb onto the shelf, and exit through the air vent in the ceiling.
Follow the vent until you reach the very end and enter the second circular pipe on your left. This will put you in a massive air vent which you will need to carefully climb up. Once you’re at the top, exit via the air vent in the wall and follow the path to reach Banshee-44’s Hidden Workshop.
2. Go See Banshee-44
You found a Bow in a display case in a room that’s got to be Banshee’s workshop. Problem is, the case is locked. Return to Banshee to complain. (Politely, of course.)
Now that you’ve found the bow, head back to Banshee-44 and speak with him. This will trigger the next step of the quest and send you to go forge a new keycode.
3. Complete Strikes, Nightfalls, or Gambit Matches
You need a rotating keycode to access the Bow in Banshee’s workshop, but the original has been lost. You’ll have to generate a new code following the same steps that Banshee did. First on Banshee’s list is to get out into the field to seed a key generator with combat data. Seed data for a new keycode by completing Gambit matches or Vanguard strikes. Gambit Prime matches and Nightfall strikes grant the most efficient progress.
For this step, you will need to complete either Strikes or Gambit matches. Unless you are playing with a group, we strongly suggest going into Gambit Prime. This is the fastest activity of the four you can participate in, allowing you to quickly increase your progress. You will earn 35% for completing a match and winning so it only takes three games to finish this step. Additionally, make sure to grab some bounties from the Drifter so you can earn experience and raise your Season Pass rank.
4. Kill Vex or Cabal With a Bow
The key generator is seeded with viable combat data, and it can now output keycodes… but to constrain the possible set of generated codes, Ghost says you’ll need to provide the generator with some more targeted data. Literally. Use a Bow to land precision final blows against Vex or Cabal.
This step is quite easy since it requires you to just land precision final blows against either Cabal or Vex. We recommend using a Legendary bow for this step, as weapons such as Le Monarque deal a significant amount of splash damage. If you want to farm the Vex, just load up the Vex Offensive and start laying waste to this mechanical menace. However, we find the Cabal easier to farm since they won’t protect their crit spot as frequently. Head to the Castellum on the Leviathan and start slaying the endless wave of Cabal that is pouring out by one of the key ports.
5. Beat an Epic Reprise of The Arms Dealer Strike

The key generator needs just a little more data before you’re ready to return to Banshee for final authentication. To further limit the possible codes the generator can create, you’ll have to recreate the conditions under which Banshee programmed the first codes: fighting Red Legion forces during the Red War. Complete an epic reprise of strike “The Arms Dealer” in the European Dead Zone on Earth.
The final part of this quest tasks you with completing a reprised version of the Arms Dealer strike. While the increased difficulty does add a new layer of challenge, this shouldn’t be too difficult if you’re using a coordinated team. Make sure to have either a Titan bubble or Warlock well to help increase your damage and take down the boss quickly.
Once you finish this quest, you’ll will need to head back to the Tower, speak with Banshee-44, and then go back to his workshop to unlock the Leviathan’s Breath bow.
