The journey to obtain the Facet of Awakening destiny 2 prismatic fragment requires patience but follows a straightforward progression. Let's break down the process step by step for both new players and veterans looking to optimize their builds.

Prerequisites for Facet of Awakening

Before embarking on your quest for the Facet of Awakening, you'll need to complete certain milestones:

1. Finish The Final Shape campaign

2. Complete the first step of the Ergo Sum quest

3. Speak with Micah-10 to unlock the Convalescence and Alone in the Dark quests

4. Gain access to Cyst missions through these quest chains

These prerequisites ensure you have the necessary game mechanics unlocked to proceed with collecting the components needed for the Facet of Awakening.

Collecting Vestiges of Light

The foundation of obtaining the Facet of Awakening lies in collecting Vestiges of Light, ethereal components that manifest from special enemies. Here's how to acquire them:

• Participate in Cyst battles from the Alone in the Dark quest chain

• Look specifically for glowing enemies during these missions

• Each glowing enemy defeated will reward one Vestige of Light

• You'll need to collect at least 10 Vestiges of Light total

Pro tip: Many players in 2025 have found that the most efficient farming method involves repeating certain Cyst missions where glowing enemies appear more frequently. The community has identified that missions in The Blooming area tend to spawn more of these enemies.

Transforming Vestiges into Memories

Once you've gathered your Vestiges of Light, the next step is to convert them into Memories:

1. For every five Vestiges of Light collected, you'll receive one Memory: Refractions of Light

2. You need two of these Memories to ultimately obtain the Facet of Awakening

3. If your inventory is full when you collect your fifth Vestige, you may encounter a known bug

Important Note: If you experience issues with Vestiges not converting to Memories, try this community-discovered workaround: delete one Vestige to bring your count down to four, then collect another one. This often resolves the conversion issue that some players still encounter in 2025.

Locating the Facet of Awakening

With your Memories: Refractions of Light in hand, you're ready for the final step:

1. Open your map of The Pale Heart in the Director

2. Look for a green marker on the western side, near The Blooming area

3. This marker will be labeled "Memory: Refractions of Light"

4. Track this mission and follow the HUD indicators

As you approach the objective, you'll notice the environment change. The mission will indicate "near objective" on the left side of your screen when you're close. Look for distinctive green tree trunks that can be climbed.

The Prismatic chest containing the Facet of Awakening rests atop these tree structures. Simply climb up, interact with the chest, and claim your reward – the coveted Facet of Awakening for your Prismatic subclass.

Integrating Facet of Awakening Into Your Build
