How to discover and investigate the strange rift in the Nether

Thankfully, they’re not as hard to look for.

Destiny 2‘s The Nether got a couple more secrets in Act Two of Heresy, including a set of strange rifts you must investigate as part of the Rites of the Deep quest.

These strange rifts are scattered around the Nether, and interacting with them plays an audio log. Their appearance may be familiar: they look like the Darkness Rifts in Savathûn’s Throne World, though they’re spread out over the Dreadnaught.

Here’s how you can discover all the locations of the strange rifts and advance Destiny 2‘s Rites of the Deep quest, the main storyline for Act Two of Heresy.

If you’re roaming the Nether after progressing the Rites of the Deep quest, odds are you may have seen a couple of green symbols floating around. They look just like the symbols from Oryx, Xivu Arath, and Savathûn early into Heresy. But this time, the message comes from a different sender.

To investigate the strange rifts, you must find their locations and interact with them, showing you an audio message. You need to find four strange rifts to complete this quest step, which should be quick.

We’ve found the rifts in the three starting areas—Mausoleum, Hall of Souls, and the Trenchway—but we didn’t go looking for them on the Founts. You need to interact with the strange rifts, so you can find the two correct locations on a given zone, then return to Orbit and try to get into a different location. The objective will advance once the audio log stops playing.

Here’s where you can discover the strange rifts in the Dreadnaught.

Where to find the strange rifts in the Nether in Destiny 2

Location Description
Hall of Souls Head to the arch in the center of the Hall of Souls and find this rift in the center of the platform where you fight the Subjugator.
Hall of Souls From the middle platform, look for the Ravenous spawn. The rift is on a bridge just by it, and the telltale neon glow of Hive magic helps you spot it.
Mausoleum From the spawn area, look for a rift on an elevated platform almost dead ahead of you.
Mausoleum At the boss area, by a rock wall on the left.
Trenchway On the far left side of the Trenchway (from the spawn point), look for this one where you summon Vorok, Excise Eternal.
Trenchway On the inner part of the Trenchway, on the trench on the opposite side of the spawn.
