Once you end up back in The Lost City after the campaign, talk to Ghost and he will give you some knowledge and then tell you the “Destined heroes” treasure hunt. From here, tune in to the radio and then start the “Queens, part 1‘search in the area.
Queens isn’t a story mission, but it’s as simple as one, aside from a section about unlocking Hive runes. Tip: When you kill one of the Hive Knights, they will drop a sword, which you can use to direct elemental damage to the Hive runes.
The game gives you a brief explanation of this, but you are not told one thing: you must enable all three runes in that specific element before the mission continues. Continue until you finish ‘Queens’.

Each time you get an Ergo Sum, it comes with a different sword frame, different blade perks, different guard perks, and one of the many exotic perks from other weapons – which also affect the element type of the sword.
The one benefit that is always on Ergo Sum is Transcendental Duelist, which allows the weapon to use special ammo, but causes you to pick up less ammo when you pick up a rock from the ground. It also causes kills with Ergo Sum to charge both Transcendence bars. While you are Transcendence, Ergo Sum deals more damage and killing targets extends your Transcendence window.
