Where in Neomuna is Archie in Destiny 2?

Ryan Gilliam (he/him) has worked at Polygon for over eight years. He primarily spends his time writing guides for massively popular games like Diablo 4 & Destiny 2.

Archie returns to Destiny 2 with a trip to the Neomuna following the May 28, 2024, weekly reset.

This is the final step in a series of “Where in the System is Archie” quests in the wake of the Into the Light update — which have been staggered out week-by-week in the lead up to The Final Shape.

Note this quest expires on the June 3 weekly reset — a full day before The Final Shape launches on June 4. This is because Bungie will take Destiny 2 down for 24 hours ahead of the expansion.

Remember, provided you complete any Archie quest before the arrival of The Final Shape, you’ll get your hands on the Blue Steel shader, while the lore for all Archie quests will be available from June 4 on.


How to start ‘Where in Neomuna is Archie?’ in Destiny 2

To start the final “Where is Archie” quest, head to the Tower’s Annex and find the paw prints.

You can reach this location by using the southwest-most fast travel point, then traveling straight ahead down the corridor. The paw prints will appear on the ledge to your right.

Investigate the prints and go talk to Ada-1 (found in the Annex proper opposite) to start the latest quest.

Now, head to Neomuna, and speak to Nimbus at Strider’s Gate. Once done, the search begins.

All Archie Neomuna locations

Here is where to find Archie in Neomuna, clue-by-clue.

‘Archie stopped by Nimbus’ post hoping to snap an action figure’ location

This clue refers to Nimbus’s gym room, which is also where you place all the action figure collectibles on Neomuna.

From Nimbus, jump directly down and to the right, off the platform. The building will be right in front of you. Go inside and you’ll find Archie's footprints between the coffee tables.

Now you’re in for quite a journey to visit the Veil.


‘Archie wanted to get caught up on everything we know about the Veil’ location

This clue refers to the Veil Containment and Irkalla Complex areas, which are the two southeastern-most points on the Neomuna map.

To reach this place, you can’t just launch Veil Containment, as you’ll need to be outside. Instead, you need to go through the Zephyr Concourse and then the ESI Terminal. Keep left the entire way there and you’ll eventually find a portal, which will take you to the Veil Containment area.

Continue up to the door, where you’ll be attacked by a bunch of Cabal and a Tormentor. Kill everything, including the Tormentor, and return to the door. You’ll find Archie’s footprints just outside of the door to the Veil.

Now you’ll need to go on another long walk near Liming Harbor.


‘Archie wanted to check out the views from where Guardians mastered Strand’ location

This clue refers to Maya’s Rest, which is the sandy area to the east of Liming Harbor.

Land at Liming Harbor and take the path east through the rocks. This is basically a straight shot to Maya’s Retreat, but it takes a bit to get there. Continue on until you reach the sandy area.

You’ll have to kill a lot of Cabal here, including a Colossus boss. Once you kill the boss, all of the other enemies will disappear and you’ll be able to collect the footprints, which are overlooking the city.

Mercifully, Archie’s final stop is a much shorter run.


‘Archie’s last stop. Archie wanted to try and win a prize for you’ location

This final clue refers to the Thrilladrome Lost Sector in Liming Harbor.

Land in Liming and make your way north to the Lost Sector entrance. Walk inside and just do the normal version — as-in don’t launch the Legend or Master version if they’re available — and eventually you’ll find Archie waiting by a claw machine. Do not go through the Vex portal at the end. If you do, you’ll miss Archie, who is to the right of the portal.

Go give him some pets and you’ll finish the exploration portion of the quest. Now it’s time to head back to Ada-1 in the Tower. She’ll give you an Archie Plush Toy and 10 Trophy of Bravery tokens — useful for getting more Brave weapons. Whether you keep the plush is up to you. Archie will be sad if you don’t!

The Archie quests will disappear entirely with the weekly reset of June 3, so this is your final chance to find Archie.

If you’re looking for more to do in the Into the Light update, you can take on Pantheon bosses, complete “Zero Hour,” and for “The Whisper,” find Oracle locations, and upgrade Whisper of the Worm with Taken Blights.
