All Wolfsbane Intrinsic locations in Destiny 2: Heliostat Exotic mission

The new Exotic weapon in Destiny 2, Wolfsbane, comes with unique visuals and animations. While its in-game description reads "Sword," it acts like a two-handed Axe, similar to the ones the Iron Lords wield, with attack animations almost resembling those of the Solar Scythe relic. Players can get it by completing the new Heliostat Exotic mission from the Pinnacle Ops.

This article explains how to unlock three different Intrinsic perks of Wolfsbane, requiring players to destroy three sets of Vex nodes for each one. Note that you must get the weapon first and complete the mission once before attempting the following steps. This is because you have to destroy the Vex nodes using the Wolfsbane weapon.

In the white hallway after the water room, look for a small section on the left, just off the entrance platform. You can also jump to the opposite platform from the entrance and get a clear view of the small section from there, as shown in the image above.

From the second node's location, jump on the section on your top-right, which will lead you to another dark, narrow hallway with water. After entering, locate the small section with the node directly below the entrance platform.

Location #4, 5, and 6:

The next three Vex nodes can all be found within the huge jumping puzzle, which resembles the Spire of the Watcher Dungeon area. This section can be found after the second main encounter.

The first node can be found lying on top of a normal platform while you are traversing. Take the first elevator up, make a right, and you will see the first node at a distance on top of a platform.

Jump all the way down and head for the opposite direction, where you will find another elevator in the middle of the water.

Take it to go up, and you will find the node located on top of a Warmind Radiator platform in front of you.

The last three nodes can be found within the final boss arena. In one of the side rooms on the right, enter and go up the stairs.

Take the first right after climbing up the stairs, and you will find the node on top of a console, stuck to a wall on the right.

Location #8:

Go back down the stairs into the main arena and head straight by taking a small right. Go to the back corner of the arena, and you will find a node sitting behind a couple of boxes.

Location #9:

Head to the final side room through the entrance in front of the eighth node. You will find the last node located on your extreme left after entering the room.
