[toc] This quick guide will tell you everything there is to know about Eriana’s Vow’s catalyst. Namely, how to get it, how to unlock it once you’ve found it, and more importantly, is it even worth it?

How to get Eriana’s Vow’s catalyst

The catalyst for Eriana’s Vow drops when completing a quest from Banshee-44 in the Tower.

Unlike other catalysts that are purely RNG-based, Eriana’s Vow’s is straightforward to acquire. Granted, it will take a long time to acquire and unlock, but at least you won’t have to depend on having “good luck” to even find it. More on that below.

How to unlock the catalyst?

Once you have found the catalyst, you will have to get 700 kills to unlock it.

Can you farm Eriana’s Vow catalyst?

When it comes to finding the Catalyst, you won’t have to, as it can only drop from completing a quest. The quest is long and will ask you to play a lot of playlist activities though.

When it comes to unlocking the Catalyst when found, there are definitely ways to farm it. The most famous method remains to visit the Shuro Shi checkpoint in the Last Wish raid. If you’re unfamiliar with it, you can check this guide.

How to get the weapon?

Getting the Eriana’s Vow Hand Cannon is as straightforward as it gets: It can only be acquired from the Exotics Kiosk in the Tower, officially known as the Monument to Lost Lights.

• 1 Exotic Cipher
• 100,000 Glimmer
• 150 Helium Filaments
• 1 Ascendant Shard
