Solstice of Heroes Quest Steps

While the event doesn’t start until July 30th, Light.gg has the quests datamined from the recent patch so we can take a look at them.

Step 1: Speak to Eva Levante in the Tower

To start off we’re going to need to talk to Eva Levante in the Tower. She can be found right in the Courtyard of the Traveler!

Speak to Eva Levante in the Tower.

Step 2: The Solstice Begins

Now that you have your first piece of Drained Armor, you are going to head into a new zone called the European Aerial Zone. It can be found right in the same area as the Traveler location.

Make sure to equip the right elemental subclass towards whatever it is at the time! This will generate orbs that you can collect.

European Aerial Zone

You get teamed up with two other Guardians and have to complete certain objectives. You’ll need to slay monsters, then take down a big boss, you’ll then look for treasure chests and then you’ll be done. The boss you face is random, you’ll sometimes face an Ogre or a Wizard.

  • You can use your Sparrow in this mode, so use it when bouncing around from different objectives. Be careful! There’s some holes in the world that lead to your doom. When there’s ten or so seconds left on the timer during the Treasure Hunt, you’ll get to see all of the chest locations. Try and grab another while there’s time still on the clock. If you are on the edge/corners of the map you’ll find teleporters. These are good to getting to other areas of the map quickly, they are also good for getting on the roof of some of the tall buildings. Jump in these when you are completing the first objective and when looking for chests.

Treasure Chests

All of them show up on the map at first, but once you loot one the locations will no longer be marked. Try to remember where they all are when they are being shown so you can track them down easily. When you get close to one, the icon will show up so you can find it easier!

Step 3: The Solstice Begins

Go back to Eva and you will receive the Drained Armor!

Step 4: The Solstice Begins

Bring that armor over to the Statue of Heroes and meditate with it! The statue is right next to Eva.

Step 5: The Solstice Begins

Take the recently meditated upon armor back to Eva! You will be given a Key Fragment which is used to open up Solstice Packages that you get from the European Aerial Zone. You need 15 total Key Fragments to open up one of the packages. The packages contain various armor, mods, and potential materials. Make sure to grab the bounties that Eva gives to gain more keys!

Step 6: Solstice of Heroes 2019

You will need to complete objectives for each of the pieces of armor in the set. The quests you need to complete are slightly different for each of the classes. You can view how far from you are from completing each piece by hovering over it in your Character inventory. You will need to have the armor equipped to complete the objectives, and you have to complete every piece of armor before moving on to the next step.
