To find the Purifying event, open your Pathfinder from the map and select the objective to start tracking it. The event should now be highlighted with a white diamond. My objective was located in The Divide region and was called Frozen Fairway. However, the event could have multiple locations, depending on your Pathfinder.

Once you reach the target location, a corrupted chest should spawn. It took me a few tries, so if it doesn’t spawn for you, go back to orbit and reload into the destination. Also, make sure to defeat any nearby enemies, just to be sure.

Interact with the chest to begin the event. Here’s how to complete the Purifying event in Destiny 2:

  1. Locate the Darkness tumbleweed
  2. Push the tumbleweed to the Light platform before the timer expires
  3. Interact with the chest to dispel corruption

Both the tumbleweed and the target platform are marked on your map, so it should be very straightforward. The timer is 90 seconds, which is more than enough, but I recommend shooting the tumbleweed to move it around faster. Just make sure not to send it off a cliff by accident.

After completing the event, remember to collect your Pathfinder rewards and check what’s next on your list. Completing Pathfinder objectives is a great way to farm the Ergo Sum sword that can roll random Exotic weapon perks.
