Where to find Archie - Destiny 2
Where in the Tower is Archie? Good question. Here's where to find the playful mechanical pup in Destiny 2.
The mechanic dog, Archie, has gone missing and is now wandering around the Tower in Destiny 2. Where he once sat overlooking Ada-1 is now nothing but paw prints! Those that are wondering where in the Tower is Archie, we’ve got some answers for you. Here’s where you can find Archie and claim your rewards.
Where to find Archie in the Tower
To begin the quest, Where in the Tower is Archie?, you must first head to the Annex near where Ada-1 is located. Across the doorway from Ada-1 is where Archie usually sits, but now there are only glowing paw prints. Investigate the paw prints and then speak to Ada-1 to get the quest, Where in the Tower is Archie?
Ramen
The first place you must search for Archie is the ramen store across from Ikora in the Bazaar. Go into the ramen shop and investigate the paw prints.
Famous gunslinger
The next clue you’ll get is about a famous gunslinger, which makes sense given this particular gunslinger loved ramen. Head to the Cayde-6 memorial that’s behind the Guardian Ranks tree. Investigate the paw prints again to get the next clue.
Feathered friend
The feathered friend clue refers to Cayde-6’s chicken that he was a big fan of back during the launch of Destiny 2. The chicken is in the Hangar where Cayde-6 used to hang out. Seems as though Archie is trying to track down our old Hunter Vanguard representative. Interact with the paw prints to get the last location’s clue.
Open airduct in the hangar
This last location is a bit more difficult to find, though only slightly. The clue refers to an airduct in the Hangar, this is accessed via a catwalk that is directly above the entrance to the Hangar. You can get there by taking the stairs on your right on the ones on your left, behind the Dead Orbit tent and near where Xur hangs out sometimes.
Walk along the catwalks and get as close to the entrance of the Hangar as possible. You’ll need to make a small jump over the gap to reach the platform. Head into the circular vent and into the next room where you’ll need to immediately turn left to pass through a door.
Drop down into the vent at the back of the room and jump up the other side. Archie will be standing there with a security frame nearby. Give him a pet to conclude this part of the quest.
Go back to Ada-1
The final step is to head back to Ada-1 to let her know you found Archie. You’ll receive an expired ramen ticket and 10 Trophies of Bravery for your effort. You can also claim the Triumph, Where in the System is Archie? to get the Blue Steel shader.
Where in the Cosmodrome is Archie?
Like the other versions of this quest, head to the Tower Annex and find the paw prints where Archie usually sits outside of Ada-1’s area. Interact with them and then speak with Ada-1 to get the quest, Where in the Cosmodrome is Archie?
- Visit Shaw Han
- Skywatch loot cave
- Terrestrial Complex
- Rasputin’s door in The Grottos, the area beyond Forgotten Shore
- Dock 13 accessed via The Steppes
- Return to Ada-1
Firstly, head to the Cosmodrome and speak with Shaw Han. He’s right by the fast travel point. He’ll tell you Archie went to the Skywatch.
Fast travel up to the Skywatch and head toward the loot cave. This is a small cave right beside the Hive structure that’s jutting out of the map, you may recognize it as the start of the Grasp of Avarice dungeon.
Next Archie wants to see where we “held off the Hive and re-established communication with lost colonies across the system”. This refers to the Terrestrial Complex, the large building connected to the Skywatch. Head inside the building, go through the halls until pass through an outdoor area and then back inside. Follow the little paw prints to a row of computers.
Now you’ll need to head through the Forgotten Shores to Rasputin’s bunker in The Grottos. This is the same door you go through as part of the Strike, Fallen S.A.B.E.R. Drop down over the ledge to find the paw prints near the locked door.
Finally, Archie wants to find a ship of his own ,which refers to Dock 13 where you found your first ship. Fast travel to The Steppes and go through the building toward The Divide. Inside you’ll find a Reaver Vandal and some other Fallen to defeat. Clear them out to release Archie from his bubble. All you need to do now is return to Ada-1 to get your reward.
There look to be more of these hunts for Archie as he makes his way around various locations in Destiny 2. Check back with us each week as we remain hot on his trail. You can find more Into the Light coverage, including many god rolls for Onslaught weapons, on our Destiny 2 Strategy Guide.
