Archie, the beloved character in Destiny 2, has made a return trip to the European Dead Zone (EDZ) following the weekly reset on May 7, 2024. This visit is part of the ongoing ‘Where in the System is Archie’ quests introduced after the Into the Light update, with new quests being unveiled weekly leading up to The Final Shape.
Players embarking on the ‘Where in the EDZ is Archie?’ quest need to be aware that this particular quest will only be available until the weekly reset on May 14, after which a new Archie quest in a different location will take its place. Completing any Archie quest before The Final Shape arrives will reward players with the Blue Steel shader, while the lore for all Archie quests will be accessible starting from June 4.
How to Start ‘Where in the EDZ is Archie?’ in Destiny 2
To initiate the latest Archie quest, players should head to the Tower’s Annex and locate the footprints. This spot serves as the starting point for each weekly Archie quest. The footprints can be found by using the southwest-most fast travel point and proceeding straight down the corridor. Once the footprints are investigated, players should speak to Ada-1 in the Annex to kick off the quest.
After completing the initial steps in the Tower, the next phase of the quest takes players to the EDZ to meet vendor Devrim Kay in Trostland’s church. From there, the search for Archie commences.
