Destiny 2: The Final Shape’slargest addition is Prismatic, an advanced buildcrafting subclass that blends elements of all five subclass damage types into one. Wield the powers of Arc, Solar, Void, Stasis, and Strand simultaneously. It’s also the most flexible of the bunch, featuring more Aspects and Fragments than any other subclass.
A core part of any subclass is their roster of Fragments, and Prismatic is no different. There are a whopping 21 to choose from, yet most of them are locked behind obscure challenges or layers of quests. This guide will cover every single Prismatic Fragment location in The Final Shape, including those found in campaign hidden chests and memory side quests.
Author’s Note
I have not been able to complete all the Light and Dark memories as of writing this article, so any chests that relate to those memories will be shown as Stasis crystals. The chest’s spawn location is in the exact same spot.
How To Unlock Prismatic Fragments
Unlike other subclasses, Prismatic’s Fragments are mostly found throughhidden chests in the Pale Heart.You’ll unlock five Fragments upon unlocking Prismatic and three more throughout the campaign, but the remaining 13 must be found in the wild. Each Fragment has a challenge tied to it that you must complete, requiring you to eliminate certain Dread enemies or progress through a vendor’s entire quest chain.
A general overview of each Fragment’s location can be found below. For more specific directions, consult the Fragment’s respective entry.
Prismatic Fragments are account-bound. Once you unlock a Fragment, it’s usable on every character.

In the short maze during the escape sequence.
Towards the end of the Dissent mission, right as you defeat the Pillar of Devotion, you’ll need to quickly escape the structure before the ground disappears. When this starts,run up the stairs guiding you towards the waypoint, butdon’tturn right.Run straight ahead until you reach the end, then turn left. You’ll find the chest in the middle of a small maze.

Facet Of Command Location
The Divide – Inside the Cosmodrome wall, found partway down a frozen corridor.
Challenge
Jump through the holes of a nearby wall and summon a Scorch Cannon.
Break ice clusters in the nearby area to create elemental orbs. Deposit them into nearby generators with the correct combinations.
This Fragment is somewhat tricky to get.Start at The Impasse and head through the Cosmodrome wall.Once you reach a frozen corridor that’s guarded by a few Acolytes and a Shrieker, you’re in the right place. Nearby should be the locked Prismatic chest and a wall with loose paneling. You want tojump through the panel gaps.This will reveal a hidden room with some Fallen generators and a terminal.
Interacting with this terminal will spawn a Scorch Cannonbeside you.Use the Scorch Cannon to blast any ice clusters you find.Shoot the frozen generators as well. Breaking an ice cluster will spawn an elemental orb. Your goal is todunk enough orbs in each machine to get exactly ten points of energy.If it’s under or over a single point, the challenge will fail.
The element type of the orb dictates how much energy it’s worth:
Ideally, you want todeposit one Arc orb and two Void orbs into one generator, then dump the rest in the second generator.If done correctly, you’ll spawn a few waves of Dread near the Prismatic chest. Clear them out, grab the key they drop, and unlock the chest.
Facet Of Defiance Location
The Transgression – Left of an impaled statue, inside a cave with a purple crystal.
Destroy Taken eyes to make Dread enemies vulnerable, then defeat a Tormentor.
Refresh the Darkness buff throughout the challenge.
Facet of Defiance is located in a hidden cave within The Transgression.From The Impasse, enter the building furthest to the east and follow the path.Halfway through Transgression, you should see an open area with a tree that looks like an impaled statue. Run left of that statue to find the cave. It has a massive purple crystal right outside.
Just outside the cave is a Crux of Darkness you must shoot. This will grant you a buff for 45 seconds that grants immunity to the burning DoT damage inside the cave. Get inside and interact with the Darkness device to start the challenge.
You need todestroy every Taken Eye in the cave without dying.The Dread enemies inside will be invulnerable to all damage until the eyes are broken. Be sure to refresh your Darkness buff throughout this challenge. Do this a total of three times, then kill the Tormentor miniboss that spawns right after.
Facet Of Grace Location
The Lost City – Directly west of the landing zone, right outside the hub area.
Defeat 3 Attendant, then slay a Tormentor.
You’ll need to exit the Lost City from the west side to start this challenge. Just outside the hub area should be a small group of Hive and a squad of Dread forces across the rooftops. You’ll want toturn right (facing north) and follow the path.A single Dread enemy should appear in the general area to help guide you. The northern tip of this area has an empty building with a Prismatic chest, but you’ll need to kill three Attendant to spawn the key.
If done correctly, a Tormentor will spawn just outside the Lost City wall, the same place the Hive were. Backtrack one more time to this area, kill the Tormentor, then use its key to unlock the Prismatic chest.
Deposit 3 Solar Crystals into braziers in the correct order.
Travel toThe Refractionentrance from The Landing spawn point. Make your way inside the strange Awoken tunnel. When inside, stick to the bottom floor and hug the right wall. You’ll eventually enter a somewhat small Awoken chamber with a Prismatic chest in the center.
Behind the chest are three Hive runes. Take a screenshot or record these symbols somewhere. Directly above those symbols is a Solar crystal. Your goal is todunk the Solar crystal in the same order as those Hive runes.Jump up to the second floor and grab the crystal. A ring of Hive runes will appear in the center of the chamber. Each symbol represents a brazier you’re able to dunk at.
Simply grab the crystal and run to the brazier that matches the top symbol you saw. The order goes fromtop to bottom.If done correctly, you should see “It draws closer…” appear on the screen. Repeat the process until all three symbols have been activated. Defeat the small group of Dread, then open the chest.
Find 4 dormant Ghost shells, then activate a nearby plate.
To start this challenge, head toThe Lost City Outskirtson the western edge of the map. Once you exit the Lost City, jump across the rooftops and keep heading west until “Lost City Outskirts” appears on your screen.
The goal of this challenge is tofind four Ghost shells hidden along the outskirts, stretching out from the courtyard to the nearby shore. Your Ghost will show an icon on the top-right of your screen when near one, and spawning your Ghost will show you the general direction of the shell. Their exact locations are as follows:
Once you’ve activated all four Ghosts, you should find a plate next to the Prismatic chest on the shore. Simplystand on the plate and defeat any Dread that spawn.Charge the plate to full, defeat the Dread, then claim your new Fragment.
The Divide – When at the apex of the wall, descend the ice cliff facing the dormant Cosmodrome tower in the distance.
Before you can find this chest, you must first have theMemory: Divisive Darknessitem in your inventory. This is randomly created upon finding five Vestiges of Darkness. These vestiges are awarded from cleansing corrupted chests in the Pale Heart. This is also a solid source of Pale Engrams, which can bedecrypted into Final Shape weapons.
Once you have this memory, open your map and track it. The waypoint will lead you toThe Divide.You’ll need toascend to the top of the mountainwhere the apex of the Cosmodrome wall is. Once there, look towards the furthest Cosmodrome tower in the distance, then look down from the sloped wall. You should see the Prismatic chest on a nearby platform. Jump down and claim it.
The Impasse – Northeast corner of the zone, found on a ledge next to the out-of-bounds zone.
As with the last Fragment, Facet of Solitude requires you to have theMemory: Impassive Darknessitem in your inventory. Complete the Stitching event on five Pale Heart chests to create a memory.
With this item in your inventory, travel tothe northeast corner of The Impasse.Right as you reach the corner, look straight down to find the chest.
The Refraction – Resting atop the canopy of tree branches.
Facet of Awakening will only spawn if you own theMemory: Refractions of Lightitem. Light memories are created upon finding five Vestiges of Light, a currency obtained from Micah-10’s “Alone in the Dark” quest chain. Enemies you slay in the marked Lost Sector can drop this material. Each clear typically gives enough vestiges to forge a new memory.
If you got Refractions of Light, make your way toThe Refractionbetween The Landing and The Blooming. Once you reach the southern stretch of the region, you should see a fairly small canopy of tree branches. Reach the top of the canopy to find the chest.
The Seclusion – Hidden above a waterfall behind Zavala’s home.
You must have Memory: Seclusion of Light to find this Fragment. Complete the “Alone in the Dark” repeatable quest from Micah-10 until you get this particular memory.
You’ll find this Fragment near Zavala’s home inThe Seclusion. It’s easiest to get here from The Blooming. Follow the southeast exit until you find a Darkness portal, then run in. It’ll teleport you next to Zavala’s old home.
Now that you’re at The Seclusion,run to the waterfall on the northern tip of the zone.Climb up the right side of the waterfall to find the chest.
The Blooming – Found beside the roots of the Traveler tree.
Once again, you’ll need to forge a Light memory from the “Alone in the Dark” quest to find this chest. This will automatically occur upon finding five Vestiges of Light. If you getMemory: Blooming of Light, then you can unlock Facet of Generosity. The memory you get is random.
Facet of Generosity is located inThe Blooming.Run to the southwest corner of the massive Traveler tree. Along the roots of the tree will be the Prismatic chest you’re looking for.
