Ikora Side Quests Guide (The Edge of Fate)

Ikora has six sidequests for you to complete within The Edge of Fate. Find out more about each one here.

The Edge of Fate has a ton of side quests, and one line of them is dedicated to our Vanguard Commander, Ikora. Her questline is quite long, and has a total of six missions; Faculty Advisement, Dark Academia, Hyperreal G-Man, Forensic Horology, and Declassification. In these six missions, you'll find out more about the Aionians and their world, as well as some other interesting Destiny Lore.

These side-missions can be completed at any point once you've unlocked them, so you can do them after you've finished the campaign if you'd like. Or, you can do them as they pop up if that's how you'd like to instead.

Faculty Advisement

To begin this quest, fast travel to the Caldera and head outside. You'll find Ikora to your left, atop one of the buildings. Interact with her to begin.

1. Speak to the Aionian Researcher

Once you've started the quest, you'll need to converse with an Aionian researcher in the Caldera. Head towards where the Post Box terminal is, and you'll find the researcher. Talk to him to learn more.

2. Locate the Monument

The researcher will tell you that there's an important Monument nearby which will help you learn more about the Aionians. You'll have to locate it to continue.

The monument can be found in the Caldera, back towards where Ikora was situated. This is a Shrine to Failure, which many can be found around Kepler.

3. Speak with Dean Rebecca

After investigating the Shrine, you'll need to talk to Dean Rebecca to learn more. Turn around and walk up the stairs to find Dean Rebecca in front of the altar.

4. Collect Vex Samples for the Aionians' studies

The Dean would like your help with collecting Vex samples so they can further study them. You'll have to gain 20 Vex Samples to continue, which you can collect by eliminating any Vex enemy. You can find Vex enemies at the top of the Caldera, by walking directly forward as you spawn in.

5. Return the samples to the Researcher

You'll have to head back to the researcher you first talked to, to hand him the Vex data. He will be in the same place in the Caldera, next to the Post Box terminal.

6. Speak with Ghost

For this next step, you'll need to head to a safe place around the side of the temple. You'll recieve a call from Ikora, who will tell you she's skeptical of Lodi, and wants to find more information.

7. Analyze a terminal in House of Exile territory

In this step, you'll need to head into the Exile's Accord, to the Curtilage Divide to find an old terminal with important information on it.

Either fast travel to the Exile's accord or walk there from the Caldera, and continue forward. Eventually, you'll come across the terminal at a forked road. Interact with it to continue.

8. Return to Ikora to speak with her about everything that's happened.

Once you've interacted with the terminal, Ikora will be to your right. Speak to her to finish the quest.

Dark Academia

To start this quest, you'll need to head to the Augur's Bethel in the Exile's Accord. Fast travel to the area and continue forward until you come across a locked door.

You'll need to open the door to begin the quest. To do this, you'll have to destroy three hidden Generators around the room.

The first can be found next to the tunnel you're in, underneath the small bridge. Shoot the generator to continue.

The next two, you'll need to use Mattermorph to access. Go to the opposite side of the room and jump onto the platforms above the train. Follow the pipes on the wall around and upwards to find the Mattermorph terminal.

With Mattermorph active, activate the panel to the right of the train to find the second generator.

The third can be found up on the platforms again, towards the laser-trapped wall. Use Mattermorph to reveal the third generator and shoot it.

Once all three Generators are down, head back to the door and open it using Matterspark. You'll find a small ball on the floor, which will let you begin the mission.

1. Scour the area for information

Within the same area you're in, you'll have to scan the floor for remains and investigate the shrine to the left. You'll also be able to pick up a collectible in the right corner of the room.

2. Return the device to the Caldera

Ikora wants you to retrieve the strange device so the Aionians can have it once more. Pick up the device in the center of the room to continue.

3. Deliver the Artifact to Dean Rebecca in the Caldera

Dean Rebecca has heard about the device you hold, and would like you to return it to her so they can run investigations on it. Fast travel to the Caldera, where you'll find Dean Rebecca infront of the temple. Interact with her to complete the quest.

Hyperreal G-Man

To begin this quest, you'll need to head to the Augur's Bethel in the Exile's Accord. Fast travel to the Curtilage Divide and continue forwards. You'll find Ikora next to the Mission: Saturnism node. Interact with her to start the quest.

Find all three Vex Data Spikes

Ikora has found the location of three Vex Spikes she'd like you to investigate. One of these is in the Augur's Bethel, and the other two in the Caldera.

To find the first Vex Spike, follow the waypoint through the Augur's Bethel. After using the Relocator Cannon to make your way through, drop down and you'll find the Vex Data Spike to your right.

For the second Vex Spike, fast travel to the Caldera. Head out of the temple and turn left, heading forward towards Vex activity. You'll find the Vex Data Spike in the corner of the bunker.

The Third Vex Spike can be found on the North-East of the Caldera. Press onwards past the enemies, towards the left of the building that leads to the Central Academy, where you'll find the Vex Data Spike.

2. Answer Lodi's Call

Once you've collected all three, Lodi will want to talk to you. You'll need to head to a safe space to answer his call. Head back towards the temple in the center of the Caldera, and into a shaded area to speak to Lodi. This will complete the quest.

Forensic Horology

To start this quest, you'll need to head to the Assimilated Easement in The Gorge. Fast travel there, and head through the train into Vex territory. You'll find a small temporal bubble, which when you get close will expand. Head inside to start the quest.

1. Locate and Investigate Temporal Disturbances

Throughout this quest, you'll be investigating time disturbances seemingly caused by the Vex. Your first Temporal Disturbance to pursue is on the other side of the Assimilated Easement.

Continue forward out of the Vex territory and back into the rocky terrain. Press onwards to find the Temporal Disturbance tucked beside a rock formation. Interact with it to continue.

2. Meet with Ikora

Ikora found a strange relic in The Stellar Sink and would like you to meet her to discuss. Head onward into The Stellar Sink, using Mattermorph to make your way through. You'll find Ikora next to a computer terminal. Talk to her to continue.

3. Locate and scan the next Disturbance site.

You'll need to find another Temporal Disturbance to continue. The second Disturbance will be in The Stellar Sink, not far from you. Walk back towards where you entered the room, and jump up onto the broken metal platform to find the Temporal Disturbance bubble. Interact with it to continue.

4. Recieve Ikora's Call

To finish the quest, you'll need to answer Ikora's call. Walk forward towards the end of the Platform, and Ikora will be able to reach you. This concludes the Forensic Horology quest.

Declassification

To begin this quest, you'll need to head to the Outer Wastes in the Outer Steppes. Set a waypoint on the map and fast travel to the Outer Steppes, and head into the Reactor room. You'll find a briefcase to the back. Interact with it to begin the quest.

1. Destroy the Microscopic Singularities

The briefcase will begin to shoot tracking Void particles at you. To continue the quest, you'll need to eliminate one of the particles (or, let it eliminate you, which also progresses this step.)

2. Destroy the Axion Bolts

For this next step, head into the room on the Left of the reactor to come across another suitcase. Interact with it to activate it once more, and spawn more Void projectiles. Destroy three of these projectiles to continue.

3. Destroy the third Singularity

You'll need to find another briefcase in the Outer Wastes to continue. Head back into the main Reactor room and into the doorway at the back. You'll find the briefcase to your right, before jumping over any platforms.

Keep destroying the Void particles it generates until the case is empty.

4. Locate the Final Axion Bolt

The final Axion Bolt will be located through the last Reactor door on the right side. Make your way through to the checkpoint using Mattermorph and the Relocator cannon.

Enter the next room and clear out the enemies, then head towards the end to find a fragment of the Ares One; the first ship that made contact with the Traveller. Scan the fragment to continue.

5. Defend the Ares One from the incoming Vex

A Vex Army will come to ambush your mission. Defeat them to protect the Ares One, and complete your quest.
