You’ll find one of these Bits in all the Region Chests and Cysts across theDestiny 2 The Final Shapedestination, so you’ll have to do a fair bit of deep exploring to find everything, though playing Overthrow and other quests will make this a little more rewarding. Here are the locations of all 15 Lost Encryption Bits in Destiny 2 to speed up the collecting process.

All of them are hidden but some are much easier to find than others, particularly if you’re checking where they’re marked on the map. Meanwhile, the six Lost Encryption Bits found in Cysts are found in secret junk piles, but you can easily backtrack to most of them after you’ve completed the Cyst challenge. (Image credit: Bungie) Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Landing Region Chest 1 (Image credit: Bungie) Head to the waterfall towards the southwest corner of the Landing, then climb up into the top window of the building to the left of it. You can use the surrounding trees to get up there. Once inside, head through the cave into the room with pink lights and you’ll find the Region Chest containing a Lost Encryption Bit. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Landing Region Chest 2 (Image credit: Bungie) Go through the cave roughly in the middle of the Landing – you can head inside via an entrance next to the big water pond area. (Image credit: Bungie) Halfway through this cave, there is drop which you can jump down using to ledges to reach the Region Chest and another Lost Encryption Bit. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Landing Region Chest 3 (Image credit: Bungie) To round off the Landing Region chests, head to the wooden footbridge closest to the path that leads to the Refraction. Directly below it, there’s a waterfall, and behind that waterfall is the third Region Chest. There are lots of rock ledges you can use to get down there safely too. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Blooming Region Chest 1 (Image credit: Bungie) This Region Chest is at the top of this tree in the Blooming. It’s on the north side of the region, almost right in the middle. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Blooming Region Chest 2 (Image credit: Bungie) Not far off, you can find the next Blooming Region Chest. Head to the northwest corner of the region and you’ll find the chest tucked behind a large rock. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Blooming Region Chest 3 (Image credit: Bungie) (Image credit: Bungie) In this area, you can find the Region Chest and its Lost Encryption Bit on a ledge against a tall rock formation. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Impasse Region Chest 1 (Image credit: Bungie) From the Impasse Landing Zone, turn around and jump down the cutout in the ground using the step-like formations. You’ll find the Region Chest in an underground nook. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Impasse Region Chest 2 (Image credit: Bungie) On top of the tallest building in the pale gray Darkness structure that takes up the northeast corner of the Impasse. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Impasse Region Chest 3 (Image credit: Bungie) Between the entrance to the Broken Deep Lost Sector and the Cosmodrome wall section in the southwest section of the Impasse, you’ll spot this small cave entrance off the ground. Jump up and head through to find the final Region Chest and ninth Lost Encryption Bit. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Sword Dance Cyst (Image credit: Bungie) As you enter the second room with Void crystals in, look down at the far end to spot a tall archway. Head down there and use your sword to clear the gunk and you’ll reveal the Lost Encryption Bit. Because you need a Hive sword to break through, you cannot backtrack after completing the Cyst challenge as you lose your Hive sword. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Searing Light Cyst (Image credit: Bungie) Head through the tunnel lit with purple lights and bear left. You’ll quickly come to a dead end with the Lost Encryption Bit on the floor. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Aerial Ace Cyst (Image credit: Bungie) Jump through the tunnel with the purple block just touching the Darkness lava until you reach solid ground. (Image credit: Bungie) On your right, there’s an easy-to-miss gap in the wall just beyond a mass of Darkness brambles that you have to crouch to fit through. You’ll find the Lost Encryption Bit through there. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Moth-Infested Cavern Cyst (Image credit: Bungie) In the first room of the Moth-Infested Cavern, which is also where you start theDestiny 2 Dual Destinymission, you’ll find a secret cave below the main Hive plate. Head through and grab the Lost Encryption Bit at the end. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Slayer Trial Cyst (Image credit: Bungie) After defeating the big Hive Ogre Balakh, the Unseeing, head through the tunnel with the gnarled tree growing outside. You’ll find another tree and the Lost Encryption Bit is just behind it. Destiny 2 Lost Encryption Bit, Smothering Darkness Cyst (Image credit: Bungie) After completing Smothering Darkness, head inside the tunnel with the purple, rectangular block above it. You must drop down into a trench and bear right, then you’ll eventually run into the Lost Encryption Bit on the ground at a dead end. (Image credit: Bungie) Now that you’ve got the Legendary Khvostov, you need all the Motes of Light to unlock the Exotic version. You’ll have to find theDestiny 2 Traveler collectiblesin the Pale Heart to get eight and kill Overthrow bosses to get the rest, but you can get someDestiny 2 Ergo Sumrolls while you’re doing this.© GamesRadar+.
