All "Encore Concerto" Secrets in Week 2 (Exotic Catalyst, NES008 & Secret Chests) [Destiny 2]

[@Esoterickk]

00:00 - Secret Chest "Nexus Access" (Week 1 Chest, Needed to Access All Other Chests) 01:12 - Secret Chest "Hexahedron Hunt", NES008 Specimen & Exotic Choir of One Intrinsic Upgrade (NEW Week 2 Chest) 04:54 - Secret Chest "Vector Extension" (Week 1 Chest) 06:15 - Secret Chest "Signal Seeker" & Exotic Catalyst (NEW Week 2 Chest) 10:20 - Secret Chest "Gatekeeping" (Week 1 Chest) This guide contains all of the secrets available in the mission so far. I've put the week 2 chests up first in each of their locations, but after that I've also included the week 1 chests for anybody who may have missed them last week. I've also included timestamps that will allow you to skip to anything you may or may not need. Make sure that you've completed NES007 (last week's specimen quest). I also believe these need to be done in "Encore: Concerto" to get the week 2 chests, which is the version of the mission available this week when progressing the seasonal questline.

omg, without saying a word, you make this so understandable!! Other content creators may as well have been speaking an ancient cave language when they talked about these. Thanks Eso!

If destabilizing rounds doesnt drop for you, talk to Banshee and he should just give it to you.

so happy I read this. I ran the mission 4 more times doing it different ways on normal and expert and was so confused and irritated why I wasn't getting it to drop. Thank you so much! UPVOTE THIS!!!!!

Fucking clutch did it twice thinking I kissed something. Was going crazy 😂

Np, I spent hours doing it on regular and expert before i remembered that Banshee gave the quest last week. Then he handed it to me.

I ran the exotic mission 3 times 😂 Once for the catalyst, then the vex eyes then finally void distablising kills. Proud to say the puzzles this week didn't confuse me 😊

[@oxsila]

This is all intentionally convoluted to make us run it multiple times for week 2 and I hate it

[@SamuelHollandsh]

Thank you so much for making these. I could only guess how much time this saved me on these second week chests. I'm sure it would've taken twice as long if I was successful. I especially was glad for the last chest.

[@troymiller7671]

Just a warning to everyone. If you accidently go back through the portal during signal seeker, with a buff, it takes it away from you and it cannot be completed. Need to restart the whole mission.

[@BRUTUStheRUDEST]

and of course this happens to me :)

[@oxsila]

This is the most timewasting catalyst for any exotic quest this is insane. 3rd time doing the mission now because something has messed up. Fml.

5:10 for what it's worth, the secret portal room behind the waterfall is open while you're here. Nothing in it though. It's not open at the beginning of the mission, where this area is.

Helpful for sure I like the quickness straight to the point.

[@voyagerofdoom]

Thank you for the help! Had to solo it this week, glad we didn't have to do it again on the higher difficulty.

[@jamesalexander2351]

There are data nodes throughout the mission, from what I’ve done the first one that starts spawning the rest is in the section after the first secret chest where you have to run from the red wall. You’ll know when to look cause down by the kill feed it will say something along the lines of data node(s) have become vulnerable

Thanks great video again, remember Helm than banshee, I forgot quest also got catalyst on normal

I forgot to get the quest from banshee so I didn’t get the catalyst on my first clear. I ended up redoing the mission 4x before realizing what was going on.

[@tanyadavies265]

Brilliant upload Eso 👍 very clear instructions on where to go and what needs doing 👏 my question is why when i run it that the robot dropped a green module key not a yellow one 🤔 the sames happened earlier in a mission where a robot drops me green yet when iv watched videos its yellow key 🤷‍♀️ am i missing something ?

[@Brian-ye1mm]

Thanks Eso, yet again you helped me a big deal.

[@doktorsmiles2034]

Eso rocking my favorite exo. I love outbreak

[@PietrusPereira]

Hi. Great job on this guide. Very easy to follow. One question though. At 6:15 you say NOT to scan the EXO (i follow your indication), but was just wondering why shouldn't we scan it??

[@Gomakemyday]

If we scan the EXO first, I feel there’s a chance we won’t b able to interact and open the portal in order to get to the important weekly chest 4 Destabilising Rounds. Earlier on, I hit that Piston hammer thing straight away to get more samples and I wasn’t able to open the portal to the right of it! The white Vex stuff to interact with just disappeared in front of my eyes 😂😂😭

[@absolutelyblasted]

You are able to make a better , shorter and clearer guide, without talking is amazing. Puts these “content creators” to shame

[@BetaMind]

Do you need to have finished the gunsmith quest from last week to get this week's catalyst?

[@BloodlustParadox]

Prob not

[@Kopparbruce]

I believe so, as I haven’t done that quest and the chest did not drop the catalyst for me

[@BetaMind]

@@Kopparbruce thank you

[@edgecrusherhalo]

I don’t even remember getting anything from banshee last week. Is it just the quest for the first catalyst?

[@andywarren6394]

Yes mate you just need to have completed the first week quest ( secret chest and expert clear) if you've already done that then pick up the second quest and you'll have the expert clear already ticked which means you can acquire the second chest and the Destabilising rounds cat on a normal clear.

[@Brian-ye1mm]

Sorry the silly question but what POV are you using? I changed mine to 105 and I think that's the value. Thanks!

[@69DMack]

Your a legend, best guide for this chest👍

[@Scratch5591]

So do you have to do it in expert to get the specimen? I have not seen anywhere where it says if you do or not and last I checked the specimen mission just says do the mission. Nothing about doing it on expert.

[@CelestialPrince-hw8dx]

what aspects and fragments are u running on ur sof build??? i want that build lol oh and what exotic armor?

[@tbeeken1]

Do we not need to do expert this week then. Can we just do these chests on normal?

[@realnoble676]

You only need to be on expert for catalyst drops. The chests work on normal.

[@lastmidnight0114]

You wont need to do expert for the catalyst if you’ve done it on a character and go to that character

[@inceneration]

At the second chest week 2 you can scan the EXO it just goes through the dialog so you dont have to wait for it when you get out again to progress to the boss room.

[@yduraq4939]

Conflux is not there to scan in the exo room anyone any idea??

[@DragonKnight90001]

So can you wait until next week and get all the catalysts in one run?

[@andrealmeida3042]

I did the signal seeker but didn't get the second catalyst

[@QuestRP]

[@pugwash1]

You need to run the mission on legend as well

[@davide29250]

take the quest from the gunsmith

[@Surrheal]

@@pugwash1 you dont. I got the second (destab rounds) catalyst from a normal run. Haven't ran legend at all this reset.

[@birkiedoc]

@@Surrheal I picked up the new, second quest from the gunsmith and the "Defeat Encore on Legend" was already checked off....I jsut had to beat it on normal and do the 2 new puzzle chests and I got the second catalyst ....so Surrheal is correct

[@joshbeverly]

I didn't get the first chest last week during overture. Am I locked out of getting the new specimen or the other chests until it comes back around?

[@AshleyRobinson-os1xb]

I Did 3 last week, is it imperative i redo them? Also 21% Delirium is an Arc heavy monster. Worth using. ✌

[@jacobblack9761]

There's no conflux to interact with for the new Week 3 chest to catalyst?

[@n8ked7urtle18]

Would you happen to know why my left portal is not open? Got the catalyst and specimen. But when leaving the portal, my left side is not open? Great tutorial by the way!

[@SamEy3Am]

I've noticed this mission to get quite buggy, so maybe it bugged out for you. Eso mentioned it was the week one chest as well, so maybe since you got that already and you're in the week 2 version it won't open in this one.

[@mr.smith-matrix]

That destabilizing rounds wasn't dropping for me when I did that. Do I need to run the mission on expert? EDIT: I had to pick it up from Banshee!

[@BlaqAdam]

you have to complete it once, and i think banshee has the quest for it. I didnt pick it up and got the chest, but it didnt drop. but talking ton banshee afterwards will give it to you

[@MannyG93]

Can this be done immediately on expert or do we have to play through it on normal first?

[@xTrashPanda420]

What’s up eso, was wondering if you knew why this was happening we got to the second week portal room and only week one portal is activated, do we need to complete a specimen quest for it? 005?

[@stericl2556]

gotta ask do we still need to do expert for the catalyst or normal?

[@standog3696]

make sure after you kill the secret boss, nect to the chest is a vex square, make sure to grab that, thats the quest NES008

[@fluidwolf]

I got both these chest and the triumph for all the secret chests has the 4th and 7th not filled in oddly enough. Makes sense to be missing two for next week but the positions of the ones missing makes it feel like I missed something. Lol

[@EmporerAaron]

So are there only two chests in Week 2 or is there another one? Just making sure before I get going on the what I have left to do for the rest of the week.

[@woebegone5086]

"sir??? Sir!!!" "Grab me that specimen" "But sir its vex thingy" "GRAB ME THAT SPECIMEN!!!"

so this week there is no need to do the exotic mission on Expert?

Pra pegar o segundo catalizador tem que fazer na versão especialista?

[@tylerbarnard4777]

Just an fyi, there seems to be a glitch after getting the catalysts from shooting the 5 different plates. It won’t teleport me back, and the direction i’m supposed to go is walled by a vex wall now.

You rock, bro!

[@brugalitodr]

[@Jwebbplayz]

[@ChrisM-co1dx]

If I haven't completed week 1 exotic on expert do I have to complete it before I can get week 2 quest?

[@ThunderUnrelenting]

So if there isn't a light in front of any of those cubes, am I doing something wrong? did i miss something?

[@shinoto1389]

Also at the last part of jump puzzle I found a another one of those small vex things and it was called a vex counterman #3?

[@themaxpanteraschannel9459]

There are a total of 7 Vex Countermand in the mission, once you get all of them you get a collectible to put in the HELM.

[@abbozgfx]

first 1 is when u first load in-- go left of waterfall then under it

[@KNDELV]

Yes but at 6:18 after getting the chest where you have to go?

[@mn1170]

Well I just found out the hard way you still need to do all 3 even if you’ve done them before. I only needed the last chest so I didn’t do the other 2 since I did them all ready and when I got to the final room there was no access portal 🤬

[@andywarren6394]

Yes mate I had the same issue, turns out that the first sequence actually triggers the synchronisation of the whole puzzle malarkey. Since you can't create a checkpoint then each time you leave it resets the whole damn thing lol.

[@naccariorange4801]

Does it need to be on expert? Do I also need to complete the whole mission to get it or can I just leave after lol

[@andywarren6394]

Hey man, if you've already done the first quest from banshee ticking off the secret chest and completing it on expert week 1 then all you need to do is grab the second quest from banshee and you'll notice the expert clear has already been ticked off on week 2 so to get Destabilising rounds all you need to do is run it normal mate.

[@andywarren6394]

You'll get the destabilising rounds before the final encounter as well so to answer your question about leaving after then sure by all means you can.

[@aceace3100]

So if you scan it it won't give you the rewards? Just finished a run and got zip

[@joseangelocruz6595]

Is there any difference in the mission itself this week aside from the new chests to collect?

[@EiriniYT]

There's a few extra harpies in the platforming sections and the final boss has a different name. That's it. There's also a couple extra lasers in the adytum.

[@lvertigo4998]

Probably looked like a fool because I posted Encore Concerto Blind Run. Nothing is different...

[@DrGaryOak]

The deletion wall run is more annoying this week, they added some spinning lasers and those vex stop-bubble guys.

The wall run and the final boss have s bit more to them but not much else
