When the Exotic Mission rotator was released, it was met with mixed feedback. While the missions it included were nice to have, it lacked two vital additions: The Whisper and Zero Hour.
But with Into the Light, they both finally returned. Today, we’ll cover The Whisper, which is the mission that set the precedent (an extremely high one, at that) for all exotic missions to come.
The Whisper Rotation?
Unlike most other Exotic Missions that are part of the Exotic Missions Rotator, The Whisper (and Zero Hour) can be accessed at all times via the Legends tab.
Art | Exotic Mission | Location | Power Level | Rewards | Requires |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The Whisper | Into The Light Tab | 1810 | Loot Table | Free-to-Play |
Whispers of the Past Quest
To access The Whisper mission for the first time, you’ll need to complete the Whispers of the Past quest. This is an easy and straightforward questline that can be grabbed from Eris Morn, located on the Moon.
The Whisper Loot Table & Rewards
Upon completion of The Whisper mission, you’ll receive one of the most renowned weapons Destiny 2 has to offer: the Whisper of the Worm (Sniper Rifle). Now craftable, this Exotic sniper is more powerful than ever, making its total damage extremely potent. We cover the most sought-after Whisper of the Worm God Rolls here.

Additional upgrades for your crafted Whisper are obtainable through finding Oracles (more on that below). The Legend version of the mission also offers Whisper of the Worm’s catalyst, granting extra reload speed and the Whispered Breathing perk.
Exotic Catalyst and Intrinsic Upgrades
The Whisper uses the same reward structure as the other Exotic Missions on rotation:
- The first completion of the mission on Normal or Legendary difficulty will award the Exotic Deepsight weapon associated with the mission.
- Each completion of the Normal or Legendary version of the Exotic mission will award an intrinsic upgrade that can be used when crafting the Exotic weapon.
- Each completion of the Legendary version of the Exotic mission will award a Catalyst upgrade for the crafted Exotic weapon.
Note that Exotic Missions feature two difficulties, Normal and Legendary, and each will have separate weekly reward lockouts.
The Whisper Exotic Ship
Lastly, The Whisper mission will also offer a exclusive Exotic ship. Destroying all seven oracles will grant you the Oracular Seeker triumph, which unlocks the Karve of the Worm ship. These oracles appear on both Normal and Legend difficulties.
Beyond this, each successive oracle you destroy will award upgrades to the White Nail perk featured on Whisper of the Worm.
⚠ NOTE: You are only granted triumph progress if you are the player who lands the final blow on an oracle; if your teammates destroy it instead, you’ll need to reset the mission to progress things for yourself. If you choose to run with a fireteam, we highly recommend running through the mission multiple times and checking your progress on Oracular Seeker as you progress.
Whisper of the Worm Oracles Locations
Oracle 1
The first oracle is located right after you drop down the tunnel blocked by the blight. Before jumping down onto the first ledge illuminated by red light, hug the left wall to find a hidden path that leads directly toward the first oracle.
Oracle 2
Oracle two is right after the elevator in the first large open area. After hopping off the elevator, continue running on the ledge, past the gap in the wall where you’d normally turn left. Look for a small, slightly illuminated gap in an area of the wall above your head; this is the location of the second oracle.
Oracle 3
Continue through the mission as normal until you arrive at the large area with snipers and Taken wall cannons that try to throw you off the map. Progress to the exit of this room (you’ll need to jump to the door that toggles open/closed) and turn around. There should be a Vex box behind the pillar you just jumped from; shoot it to spawn a platform. Hop over to that platform and you’ll see Oracle #3.
Oracle 4
Continue past the room with the tunnels/portals you can choose from until you enter the grassy/green room. From here, jump through the large crack in the ground into the pit with shadow thrall and continue forward (away from the entrance you came through) until the walls close in and create a small hallway. On the right side of this hallway is a gap in which you can slide through, revealing the fourth Oracle.
Oracle 5
The fifth Oracle requires you to complete the jumping puzzle in the grass/green room instead of simply taking the shortcut. After dropping down into the exit room, you’ll see both a Vex box and the fifth Oracle.
Oracle 6
Oracle six is right before you make the large jump into the crack in the wall before the boss room. Once you run around the circular ledge and make it to the small diving board-like platform, look down directly to your left to find a small unilluminated platform. Follow it into a room below where you came from, revealing the second to last Oracle.
Oracle 7
The final oracle is right behind the Vex Portal across the way from the same large room. To get there, backtrack to before the circular ledge we mentioned earlier, right where the exit from the green room is. Progress along the cave wall, using the Vex-like stone platforms to assist you. Jump over to the portal, look behind/beneath it, and you’ll spot the seventh Oracle.
