Master Guide: Completing Luna‘s Calling and Unlocking Lumina
As a long-time Destiny expert boasting over 1,000 hours played, I‘ve helped countless fellow Guardians accomplish their most coveted goals – whether leading teams to raid triumphs or guiding solo players to exotic weapon quest glory.
Today, I‘ll share comprehensive strategies guaranteed to help you finally complete the Luna‘s Calling memory questline. Once fully finished after 6 weekly steps, you‘ll unlock the unique exotic hand cannon Lumina with distinctive support capabilities.
Let‘s dive into mastering each quest in this dramatic, emotive journey down memory lane with Eris as your guide.
Optimizing Your Weekly Approach
Before detailing each quest step, first let‘s review key tips that will dramatically speed up progress week-to-week:
Coordinate With Your Fireteam
I cannot stress enough the value of tackling group activities with proper team coordination – be sure to align on optimal quest loadouts, ideal subclasses, and weapon/armor pairing.
Take Advantage of Weekly Reset Bonuses
Recurring weekly activities offer bonuses that directly align with quest objectives – take advantage! Here‘s a breakdown:
| Activity | Monthly Bonus |
|---|---|
| Nightmare Hunts | Unique themed drops |
| Raids/Dungeons | Pinnacle gear |
| Trials of Osiris | High stat package rewards |
Stack Bounties & Challenges
Maximize your time investment by stacking bounties across vendors that match quest objectives:
- Eris Morn weekly moon bounties
- Seasonal challenges (precision kills, arc/solar ability kills etc.)
- Destination/activity streaks
- Weapon catalyst quests objectives
Now, let‘s get tactical on conquering each quest step of this lunar journey!
Starting Luna‘s Calling
Our first quest step kicks off the journey:
The Bounty
- Eliminate wanted escapees in 3 lost sectors:
- K1 Communion – 860 Power – Anchor of Light
- K1 Crew Quarters – 880 Power – Hellmouth
- K1 Logistics – 870 Power – Archer‘s Line
I recommend ensuring your gear bumps you at least 30 power above each lost sector‘s requirement for easily slaying these early bosses.
As a veteran player, I‘m personally fond of the riskrunner SMG for effortlessly shredding Fallen captains and servitors with its arc damage chaining capability. Paired with a lasting impression rocket launcher in your heavy slot for burst damage, these bosses will melt rapidly.
With them defeated and The Bounty completed, we unlock a pivotal story beat in our next quest.
Uncovering A Hidden Secret
Fighting our way through fiery battles on the moon‘s haunted grounds, we‘re left asking – just what were Eris and her fireteam seeking in these scarred moon tunnels? Our next quest step inches closer to the truth…
The Data Fragment
- Fight to the finale of K1 Revelation Lost Sector
- Unlock concealed room to collect key data intel
This lost sector is located in Sorrow‘s Harbor – look for the red icon directly north of Eris. I highly recommend clearing adds swiftly using Trinity Ghoul‘s lightning arrow chaining perk to avoid complications reaching the final room.
Once there, glance up to spot a circular vent gate and jump through. In the hidden chamber beyond, you‘ll discover cryptic coordinates left by an unknown figure from Eris‘s fireteam.
Interact to collect the data and trigger the first of many memory quests – shedding light on the fireteam‘s tragic fate.
Pursuing the First Memory
We begin piecing together Eris‘s past by walking in a long-dead comrade‘s shoes…
Memory of Sai Mota
- Gather 20 arc-infused necklace fragments among the Nightmares of Sorrow‘s Harbor
As a Hunter main myself, I suggest top-tree Arcstrider with Raiden Flux chest armor – effortlessly chained melee and dodge cooldowns pair perfectly with the arc fragment gathering requirement.
Titans and Warlocks will also thrive here:
| Class | Recommended Subclass & Exotic |
|---|---|
| Titan | Bottom-tree Striker + Insurmountable Skullfort |
| Warlock | Top-tree Stormcaller w/ Crown of Tempests |
Once you‘ve slicing and slammed your way to all 20 fragments, deliver the signature necklace to Eris. But while questions of the past begin to clarify, the true enemy plotting against the Moon still lurks in the shadows…
Braving the Nightmares
We cannot hide from past fears forever – Eris least of all. Our next quest requires re-living the fireteam‘s worst nightmares made real.
Memory of Vell Tarlowe
- Replay weekly Nightmare Hunt: Fear
- Defeat enemies through melee finisher blows until Vell‘s Fragment drops
My tried and tested loadout recommendation here is middle-tree Sentinel with Ursa Furiosa and Synthoceps. Effortlessly chain your overshield melee attack into finishing moves while Ursa refunds super energy on every shield throw kill – ultimately providing unlimited supers and melee attacks.
But beware champions in this hunt – coordinate shield throwing and stunning with your fireteam to safely land finshers without retaliation. Soon enough, Vell Tarlowe‘s tragic memento will reveal itself.
Onward now to the enigmatic mysteries of Toland…
Decrypting Toland‘s Concealed Messages
Not all memories are carved in sorrow – some still spark our curiosity. Our next adventure unlock‘s the secrets of Eris‘s former scholar comrade.
Memory of Toland, The Shattered
- Eliminate the roaming Trove Knight for a key puzzle piece
- Traverse ascendant platforms to decrypt Toland‘s messages
This side quest begins with locating and slaying the Trove Knight boss who spawns in Archer‘s Line, Anchor of Light or on rare occasions, the Hellmouth. He‘ll drop a journal whose messages can only be revealed by slaying Hive using their own dark relic swords.
I suggest completing the ritual altar events whenever the Moon weekly reset features sword days – or launch the Altars of Sorrow activity directly for consistent sword spawns until the journal fills. With messages decrypted, Toland‘s insights finally come full circle.
But while foes of eras past reveal their secrets, our true enemy still lurks – we must forge ahead.
Braving the Scarlet Keep
Not all nightmares ended with the fireteam‘s fate – some persist as eternal tormentors. Our next quest forces a confrontation with the cause of all thinning veils between dark and light.
Memory of Omar Agah
- Eliminate a Hive Wizard Nightmare through super activation
- Defeat 20 enemies via precision kills from a bow or sniper rifle
As a Gambit Invasion veteran myself, I highly recommend running the Scarlet Keep strike located in Sorrow‘s Harbor – specifically its higher difficulty Nightfall variant.
A trove of powerful Hive Wizards and acolytes throughout provide plenty of precision kill fodder, especially within the Necropolis encounter featuring near endless waves of foes.
Alternatively take advantage of Momentum Control‘s reduced sniper/bow damage requirements in PvP or focus fire altar bosses in Altars of Sorrow.
Soon enough we‘ll gather enough of mercenary hunter Omar‘s throwing knives to advance our cause.
Uncovering A Hero‘s Sacrifice
Our journey nears its end. One final fireteam member‘s memory remains locked away, awaiting rediscovery – legendary hero Eriana-3.
Memory of Eriana-3
- Loot engram from lunar scavengers in Moon lost sectors
- Activate solar subclass & defeat 10 champions
For quickly clearing lunar loot goblins, I suggest the Hellmouth‘s K1 Logistics Lost Sector – clear ads rapidly using Trinity Ghoul‘s crowd control capabilities then burst down the central boss using lasting impression rocket launchers as they spawn in groups of 3.
With engram fragments in hand, we turn to champions. I highly recommend running weekly Nightmare Containment during solar burn weeks in the north patrol zone of the Moon. Effortlessly chain throwing hammer and roaring flame x3 builds to rapidly slay barrier and overload champions completing the quest with minimal hassle.
Alternatively hop into weekly Legend/Master Lost Sectors during solar days or slay champions in Grandmaster Nightfalls to complete Eriana‘s memory.
At long last, Eris can memorialize her ill-fated fireteam – and we discover the true capabilities of lumina born of sacrifice.
Forging Anew Out of Tragedy
With peace found, closure achieved, and lessons learned from past bonds, all that remains is embracing new beginnings.
Visit Eris one final time after completing the weekly memory quest chain to unlock lumina‘s exotic weapon quest. Through overcoming darkness from fights past, we forge anew a weapon capable of amplifying light – truly a perfect monument to the memories of Eris‘s fireteam.
While the journey spanned weeks interwoven between sorrow and curiosity, unveiling our mentor‘s past and overcoming the nightmares that plague it represented a profoundly personal adventure for all destiny players.
In Summary: Preparation Trumps All
While lengthy, the uncovering of Eris Morn‘s past stands undoubtedly as one of Destiny‘s most moving exotic questlines. But no great tale comes easily to its heroes. By stacking bonuses, coordinating teammates, and equipping ideal loadouts, we overcome all obstacles in our long journey‘s end to claim a unique new power in Lumina.
I hope these comprehensive insights not just help you efficiently conquer the Luna‘s Calling quests, but also connect you more deeply with the journey at hand. Through understanding past hardships, we forge new hope.
Now go, champion the memories of these legends lost – and claim your rightful reward when the battle‘s won. The Moon awaits your final stand.
