Tracking down scannable remains on Europa is an essential objective for Guardians working through the Beyond Light expansion in Destiny 2. Locating three dead Exos serves as the initial milestone for unlocking The Lost Lament exotic quest and discovering the secrets of Braytech. Finding these bodies allows players to progress efficiently without having to search the entire frozen landscape.
Cadmus Ridge Ice Shelf Location
The first dead Exo can be found quickly by travelling directly into Cadmus Ridge from Charon's Crossing. As soon as you enter the area, head toward the left side and climb up the prominent snow-covered ice platforms. The body rests right in the open near the edge of the elevated plateau overlooking the main path.
Scanning this initial Exo registers immediately toward your quest log progress. It is one of the easiest collectibles to grab because it does not require entering any complex underground facilities or completing encounters.
Perdition Lost Sector Boss Room
For the second dead Exo, make your way into the Perdition Lost Sector located in the northwestern part of Cadmus Ridge. Fight through the Vex forces until you reach the final boss chamber with the distinctive orange lighting. Instead of approaching the reward chest directly, check the left corner of the room near the entrance door to spot the fallen frame.
Clearing the boss first makes scanning much safer, though stealthy players can interact with it quickly. This location provides a reliable pick-up while completing daily Europa activities.
Concealed Void Lost Sector Cache Area
The third convenient location lies within the Concealed Void Lost Sector found in Asterion Abyss. Navigate through the sector's combat encounters until the final Fallen boss is defeated. Head past the unlocked cache chest to the balcony area where the dead Exo lies against a crate.
Once all three Exos are scanned, Guardians can advance their questline to speak with the Giant Exo AI. This completes the first major step required to obtain the powerful exotic sword.
Tips for Streamlining Europa Exploration
While there are nine dead Exos hidden across Europa, scanning any three is enough to fulfill the Lost Lament quest requirements. Sticking to patrol zones and early Lost Sector rooms saves considerable time compared to navigating deeper areas like Creation. Marking your destination on the map helps maintain a smooth route through Europa's harsh environment.
