Destiny 2 conduit puzzle

Trying to figure out how todeactivate the conduitsis one of the first hurdles inDestiny 2’s The Final Shape. Honestly, the new campaign is rather puzzle-filled, and in each subsequent mission on your journey to the Pale Heart of the Traveler, you’ll be faced with lots of different mechanics. Some of them will certainly be familiar to anyone who’s into raiding or dungeons, too.

Destiny 2 conduit puzzle - Dunking psionic insight

Though they look pretty complex, your goal is relatively simple with these puzzles:move the clock’s pointer to the glowing mark on the dial. Here’s the process for doing that:

If this is the first of the three conduits, that’ll complete it, but as you move onto the next two, you’ll have to repeat the positions of the previous conduits as well. For example, at the second conduit you’ll have to move the pointer to two glowing marks in succession, and for the third conduit, you’ll have to move it three times.

Alsobe careful using weapons that might harm multiple scions at once, since you may accidentally end up with more stacks than you want. Once done, the barrier will deactivate, so you can follow Crow and continue your journey to the Pale Heart of the Traveler.
