Whisper of the Worm mission steps, Taken Blight locations and quest rewards explained for players seeking the Field Prep and No Distractions perks.
The Whisper of the Worm exotic sniper returns in Destiny 2: Into the Light, and completing its Legend‑difficulty “The Whisper” mission now unlocks two new quest lines—Whispers of the Taken 1 and 2—each granting a distinct perk upgrade for the weapon [1][2].
| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| Mission | “The Whisper” (Legend difficulty, 20‑minute timer) |
| Quest reward 1 | Field Prep perk (Whispers of the Taken 1) |
| Quest reward 2 | No Distractions perk (Whispers of the Taken 2) |
| Catalyst | New weekly quests requiring specific Taken Blight destructions |
“The Whisper” begins at the end of the Lost Sector “Grove of Ulan‑Tan” and forces players through a timed platforming gauntlet before entering a combat phase populated by Taken enemies and corruption blocks [1]. On Legend difficulty, the timer is cut in half to 20 minutes, demanding precise navigation and rapid enemy clearance. The mission’s layout includes three early‑stage Taken Blights that must be destroyed to progress the Whispers of the Taken quests. Each Blight appears as a floating energy sphere that can be shot with Whisper of the Worm [2].
To earn the Field Prep perk, players first collect 30 Taken Essence by defeating any Taken enemies while Whisper of the Worm is equipped—no need to use the exotic sniper for the kills [2]. After gathering the essence, the three early Blights are destroyed in sequence: Blight #1 near the initial ledge, Blight #2 just beyond the first set of branches, and Blight #3 after a short detour to a cavern containing a Taken Phalanx [2]. Completing the Legend run of “The Whisper” after these destructions unlocks the Field Prep perk, which replaces the Mulligan perk on the weapon [2].
The second weekly quest mirrors the first: players must again locate and destroy the same trio of Taken Blights in the Legend version of “The Whisper.” Upon successful completion, Eris Morn awards the No Distractions perk, providing a different gameplay advantage for Whisper of the Worm [2].
These new weekly quests add a focused, time‑sensitive layer to the Whisper of the Worm acquisition path, rewarding players who can master the platforming and combat challenges within the tight 20‑minute window.

On-chain analysis is the study and interpretation of data stored on a blockchain, such as transaction volumes and wallet activity, to derive market insights.
Common metrics include active addresses, transaction volume, exchange inflows/outflows, network hash rate, and the NVT (network value to transaction) ratio.
Institutions can access on-chain data through providers like CryptoQuant, which offers data via the CME Group's Datamine platform.
Because blockchain records are immutable and publicly accessible, ensuring that the data used for analysis cannot be altered.
It provides fundamentals‑based insights, such as real‑time asset flows and network health, that are not captured by price‑chart patterns alone.
