Why is the trove guardian not spawning?

With the release of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep in 2019, players got to experience numerous changes in the sandbox. With the introduction of armour 2.0 and exotic quests, it has been two years since the community got a brand new location and a raid alongside the Year 3 expansion.

After almost two years, some players are still finding their way through the lunar planet. One of these quests is known as "Memory of Toland," which requires the players to search Trove Guardians scattered across the Moon in Destiny 2.


Trove Guardian's location in Destiny 2's and how to find them

To start the "Memory of Toland" quest, Guardians will first need to acquire an exotic rocket launcher called the Deathbringer alongside finishing the "Memory of Sai Mota." If players are unable to find these missions in their orbital tabs, chances are they have been abandoned and will be claimable via the Quest Archive on the Tower.

The weekly reset has happened and as usual things such as Ascendant challenge, nightfall, & clan bounties have reset. Continue reading to find out about the Trove Guardian location this week.

Upon eliminating the Trove Guardian you’ll get a message “a path has opened”. Unlike other powerful enemies, trove guardian doesn’t drop a loot chest when he’s defeated, you have to scour around to some other location to gather his wares.


Trove Guardian Chest Location

Once he is eliminated, explore the immediate area. There should be a long floating, if you have ever been to dreaming city (with Tincture enabled), then you should have seen the floating platform, these platforms are similar. Just jump around and you’ll be headed to the loot area soon.


Trove Guardian Chest Loot

The chest doesn’t give anything good, it’s similar to what to get in public events and powerful boss eliminations. I got a Phantasmal fragment and some blue gear. The phantasmal fragment is Eris Morn’s resource that is used for crafting new gear with Lectern of Enchantment.

Destiny 2 – Trove Guardian location – December 6-12, 2022

What is a Trove Guardian

The Trove Guardian is a Hive Knight that was introduced to Destiny 2 with the Shadowkeep update or Season of the Undying.

His body is red in color, and carries a huge sword, just like a Hive Knight. I am not sure how else I should describe him other than a Red Hive Knight.

He was first seen at Anchor of Light on Moon, and we all thought that the location was his permanent spot. But we soon found out that he keeps on changing his location every week, but it is always going to be somewhere on the Moon.

Why is the trove guardian not spawning?

He has three set locations where he arrives every week, and these locations keep on changing every week. Here are the locations:

  • Hellmouth
  • Archer’s Line
  • Anchor of Light

Trove Guardian Location this week

This week, the Trove Guardian is at Hellmouth on Moon.

Here is his exact location:

Why is the trove guardian not spawning?

Start by spawning at Sorrow’s Harbor and make your way towards Hellmouth. Do not spawn at the Sanctuary, as the location is quite far from there. The area where the Trove Guardian spawns at Hellmouth is just next to the location where the Witches Ritual public event arrives.

Trove Guardian Chest Location

The Trove Guardian gives players access to chests at different locations. Once the Trove Guardian is defeated, players will have to find the chest by completing a jump puzzle. Before taking down the enemy, it is best to pick the character’s jump tree, that you are most comfortable with. It will make things way easier. You just need to know the platform locations.

  • The platform can be seen at the edge of the crevasse to the south in the Archer’s Line
  • The initial platform will be at the base of the hill next to the path where the enemy appeared in the anchor of light
  • In Hellmouth, the platform can be seen at the edge of the mouth that leads to the core of the Moon
