Destiny 2 The Imbaru Engine Guide

The Imbaru Engine is a puzzle room inside the oubliette in Savathun’s Throne World as part of the Destiny 2 Season of the Witch storyline. The room is designed to mess with your head with irrational perspectives reminiscent.

How to Access The Imbaru Engine in Destiny 2

Step 34 in The Bladed Path seasonal quest gives access to a new destination called The Imbaru Engine, which you can access from the HELM map. A fireteam of three can enter The Imbaru Engine. 

The Imbaru Engine not showing up?

Don’t worry! If the Imbaru Engine is not showing up on the HELM map, you need to claim the “A Gift of Cunning” Minor Arcana card at the Lectern of Divination. Reveal the Minor Arcana card and click on it again to claim it.

The Cunning Test Chest Locations

The best way to find chests in The Imbaru Engine is to equip the cache tracking mods on your Ghost, such as Loot Seeker, Prize Pursuant, Cache Finder, Treasure Hunter, and Expert Tracker. The Combo and Wombo Detector cache tracking mods work here too. Also, Strand Grapple lets you get around quickly.

First, two Hive symbols appear on teardrop-shaped plates on the ground, pointing towards chests. Looting the correct chest progresses you to the next step of The Cunning Test. In this case, loot the chest in front of the X-shaped Hive symbol, and head to the next marked location to grab two more chests. Here, loot only the ones in front of the matching Hive symbol.

On the last step, the text in-game notes that there are three chests remaining. The chest locations are randomized every run, making those Tracking mods on your Ghost necessary. 

When you come across symbols on teardrop-shaped plates, grab the chest that it’s pointing to, not the one it is closest to. You’ll also come across symbols on walls and shrubs that don’t point towards a chest but instead sit near the chest location. Be sure to look around and confirm that you are looting the chest matching the correct symbol.

Once you complete all three steps of The Cunning Test, you get two Witch’s engrams and a Witch Key reward. This test also checks off The Mother Morph Triumph, one of the secret Triumphs in Season of the Witch.
