Where in the Dreaming City is Archie in Destiny 2?
Archie returns to Lot 2 with a trip to the Dreaming city after the weekly reset of May 21, 2024.
This is the last in a series of “Where in the system is Archie” missions in the wake of the Into the Light update — which are being distributed week after week leading up to The final shape.
Please note: This quest will expire on the weekly reset of May 28 and will be replaced by another Archie mission in a new location. Remember, provided you complete it each Archie quest before the arrival of The final shapeyou will get your hands on the Blue Steel shader, while the lore for all Archie missions will be available from June 4.
How to Start ‘Where in the Dreaming City is Archie?’ in Fate 2
To start the latest ‘Where’s Archie’ mission, go to the tower outbuilding and look for the paw prints. For future reference, here’s the start of each Archie mission each week.

You can reach this location by using the fastest travel point in the southwest and then continuing straight into the corridor. The paw prints will appear on the edge to your right.
Examine the prints and talk to Ada-1 (found in the attachment opposite) to start the latest quest.

Now head to the Dreaming City and speak to seller Petra Venj, who is in The Strand this week. Once done, the quest begins.

All Archie Dreaming City locations
Here you will find Archie in the Dreaming City, clue by clue.
“Archie wanted to check out the Blind Well… but the Guardians were fighting something scary, so he decided to wait outside the door.”

The first clue takes you to the Divalian Mists. When you land, hop on your vehicle and enter the giant cathedral in front of you, which leads to the Blind Well activity.

Keep moving forward until you reach the stairs leading to the Blind Well. Here you will find Archie’s footprints.
Now it’s time to see the Ahamkara bones.
“Archie heard about some mysterious bones that like to trade and naturally felt compelled to check them out.”
This clue refers to the Ahamkara merchants who rest beneath Rheasilvia and outside The Conflux in the Harbinger’s Seclude.

The quickest and easiest way to get to this set of paw prints is to head to Rheasilvia and make your way through the gigantic cathedral on the north side, which takes you to the Harbinger’s Seclude.

Follow the path until you reach the giant Awoken statue at the end. From there, turn around and face where you came from. Go forward and enter the small elevator room in front of you.

Once you reach the bottom, walk forward to the space between the two vendors and notice the paw prints on the ground.

‘Archie felt like someone was making fun of him! He kept hearing the sound of a cat purring permeating the Mists’ location
This clue points to Divialian Mists, the western location where you end up in the Dreaming City.
Image: Bungie via Polygoon
Once you land, go to the left part of the area near the cliffs. Drop off the side and look for a big lip most of the way. Land on it and go inside.

This cave is much deeper than it seems. Keep walking further into the cave until you find Archie’s footprints.

Once you’ve examined them, head over to the Oracle Engine.
“Archie’s last stop. He hoped to say hello to the queen when she was nearby
The latter location is towards the Spine of Keres, west of the Divalian Mists.
Image: Bungie via Polygoon
Make your way to the Oracle Engine in the Spine of Keres. Along the way you will be stopped by a boss called Ogre Ascendant.
Image: Bungie via Polygoon
Kill the boss and an Oracle offer will drop. Continue into the large Oracle Engine tower and walk to the Techeun witch. Interact with the panel next to her to unlock the Oracle Engine. Once it’s in place, run inside.
Image: Bungie via Polygoon
Go to the throne and you will see Archie sitting on the other side of the coffin. Interact with him and then return to Ada-1 in the Tower.
Image: Bungie via Polygoon
She’ll give you some Ahamkara Bones and 10 Trophy of Bravery tokens – useful for getting more Brave weapons. Whether you stick with it is up to you. Archie will be sad if you don’t!

Remember, a new “where’s Archie” mission will appear next week after the weekly reset. Until then, if you’re looking for more to do in the Into the Light update, you can take on Pantheon bosses, complete ‘Zero Hour’ and find Oracle locations for ‘The Whisper’ and upgrade Whisper of the Worm taken with Blights.
