Flickering Blessings are proof that the Traveler is actively trying to help us as we explore the Pale Heart. Now, here’s how to get some Flickering Blessings for yourself in Destiny 2.
How to Farm Flickering Blessings Fast in Destiny 2
In the Pale Heart alone, is it possible to get a buff called ‘Traveler’s Blessing’, which grants you an assortment of possible abilities. Kills with void abilities and weapons might cast out void energy that seeks your enemies. You might get the ability to slide and cause a scorching heat to emit from where you wind up. These abilities are associated with Flickering Blessings, which can only be found in the Pale Heart.
Flickering Blessings can be obtained by opening chests anywhere in the Pale Heart in Destiny 2. That includes standard chests, chests from Public Events, chests from strong enemies, and Overthrow activity rewards. But not all chests are created equal!

In my own experimentation, one out of seven standard random chest granted a Destination Mod (otherwise known as Flickering Blessing). But the Overthrow activity events were far more likely to drop a Flickering Blessing. Completing all levels of Overthrow and defeating the big boss has a chance of granting you two Flickering Blessings, along with a Lucent Seed you can plant to create a Pale Blessing,
While Overthrow events are the best way to farm Flickering Blessings fast, particularly Overthrow activities that just require you to kill two waves of enemies and then a miniboss, random chests are a good way to passively find them. Equip your ghost with the Wombo Detector and you’ll quickly find that there are plenty of chests scattered around a given area. Chests can also be a good way to increase your Overthrow meter.
Once you have a Flickering Blessing, you can access the Traveler’s Blessings from the map of the Pale Heart. Here, you can opt to equip any blessing you’ve unlocked, which will last 26 hours no matter if you’re using it or not. Click on the blessing you want equipped to make it active.
All Flickering and Pale Blessings in Destiny 2
There are a grand total of eight Flickering Blessings and seven Pale Blessings. Here’s what each ability does.
