Destiny 2 Echoes Act 1 A Familiar Voice Quest Walkthrough

Posted by Noelle Montes on Saturday, July 20, 2024

Nessus has been hit by an anomaly, which had paced at the speed of a meteor that had landed near the Exodus Black.

Failsafe has contacted the Vanguard and has reported that the Vex has been changing, which is unnatural.

Together with Osiris and Saint-14, you will need to make your way to Nessus and investigate the area and also get Failsafe out of there.

How To Get Echoes Act 1: A Familiar Voice Quest?

The Echoes Act 1: A Familiar Voice quest became available with The Final Shape update and had players stop on quest step 2.

It was during the second week of the release of The Final Shape that players could proceed, continuing its story.

Echoes Act 1: A Familiar Voice Quest Steps

Step 1: Decrypt an Echo Engram at the War Table in the H.E.L.M.

With this quest active, you will need to go to the H.E.L.M. and interact with the War Table to decrypt at least 1 Echo Engram.

  • Visit War Table

Step 2: Within the Pale Heart, Allies band together…

This quest step was not that clear to players but completing The Final Shape quest will allow you to progress with this quest step.

  • Thwart the final shape

Step 3: Complete Mission: Meteoric on Nessus

With the defeat of the Witness, you and your allies need to do a survey mission on Nessus, which involves an Anomaly that had landed near Failsafe.

The Meteoric mission may not be launched from this quest and instead, it must be started while viewing Nessus in destinations.

Step 4: Report to the H.E.L.M.

After you have defeated the Witness and have completed The Final Shape main quest, head to the H.E.L.M. for further instructions from Saint-14 and Osiris.

  • Visit the H.E.L.M.

Step 5: Speak with Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

Following the Meteoric quest, Failsafe has been transferred to the H.E.L.M. and you will need to talk to her now that she is on board.

Step 6: Claim valuable data and extract with your spoils in Breach Executable in the H.E.L.M.

Failsafe requires data but this is being held onto by the strange variants of Vex that have been appearing and you will need to get it for her.

This requires that you start the Breach Executable activity and complete it before you can proceed with the next step.

  • Complete Breach Executable

Step 7: Speak with Failsafe in the H.E.L.M.

Failsafe requires data but this is being held onto by the strange variants of Vex that have been appearing and you will need to get it for her.

This requires that you start the Breach Executable activity and complete it before you can proceed with the next step.

  • Speak with Failsafe

Echoes Act 1: A Familiar Voice Quest Rewards

Completing Echoes Act 1: A Familiar Voice will allow you to interact with Failsafe aboard the H.E.L.M. and she will act as a vendor.

Failsafe is your go-to vendor when it comes to Engram Focusing and Research but that isn’t the only thing she provides, you also get Rank Rewards as your reputation increases.

You may also obtain bounties from Failsafe that you can complete to get additional reputation (XP) with her to progress faster. 

Summary

The strange anomaly that landed like a meteor punched a hole right through Nessus and Failsafe was lucky that you got her out of there.

Now that Failsafe is on the H.E.L.M., you now have access to various rewards and Echo Engram decrypting to get new equipment.

Failsafe has a lot more waiting for you and the next act will require even more effort from the Vanguard to find out what is going on.
