Destiny 2: A 2026 Guide to Finding Archie the Robo-Dog on the Moon

Discover where on the Moon is Archie with our thrilling scavenger hunt guide and claim Trophies of Bravery in Destiny 2’s latest adventure!

Listen up, Guardians! It's 2026, and while the Witness may be a distant memory, one thing remains constant in the Tower's chaotic schedule: Ada-1's weekly wild goose chase for Archie, the Solar System's most adventurous (and frankly, a bit of a troublemaker) robot dog. This quest isn't just for kicks; it's your golden ticket to ten sweet Trophies of Bravery, enough to snag a shiny new weapon from the Hall of Champions. Miss your window? Tough luck, champ. You'll have to catch him next week on a different planet. But this week, the good boy has decided to take a spooky vacation to our favorite haunted rock, the Moon. Time to play fetch with destiny!

Where On The Moon Is Archie? The Great Scavenger Hunt

First things first, you gotta get the quest from the source. Head to the Tower and have a chat with Ada-1. She's the one holding the leash, metaphorically speaking. Once you've got the quest, it's time to put on your detective hat and follow the paw prints. Archie's left his mark in four key locations across the lunar landscape. Think of it as a cosmic game of "Where's Waldo?" but with more Hive and less striped sweater.

Here’s the checklist for your lunar expedition:

• Near the broken accelerator in Archer's Line.

• In the Temple of Crota, northeast of the Anchor of Light.

• On the northwest corner of the Hellmouth (yep, where Crota's End begins).

• At the Pyramid inside the Scarlet Keep.

Let's break down each spot, no pun intended.

Location 1: The Broken Accelerator in Archer's Line

This one's pretty straightforward, a real "walk in the park" if the park was a desolate moon base. The broken accelerator is that giant, segmented tube structure running through Archer's Line. Your job is to find the section that's seen better days.

How to find it:

1. Spawn into Archer's Line.

2. Locate the massive accelerator structure.

3. Find the segment that looks like it had a bad day with a Warsat.

4. Scout around the base of this broken section. You're looking for those distinctive robo-paw prints. It's not exactly rocket science... well, maybe a little.

Location 2: Awoken The Hive (Temple of Crota)

This location is a classic throwback, a real "I see what you did there, Bungie" moment for veteran players. It references an early Destiny 1 mission. Archie's hanging out in the Temple of Crota, which is chilling northeast of the Anchor of Light landing zone.

Your path to the Temple:

Step	Action	Landmark
1	Spawn at Anchor of Light.	You'll see a building leading to the K1 Communion Lost Sector.
2	From that building, take the path to the RIGHT.	Head away from the Lost Sector entrance.
3	Follow the path until you reach the large, ominous Temple of Crota structure.	You can't miss it. It's very... temple-y.
4	Enter and run to the stairs at the far end.	Don't mind the eerie silence.
5	Inspect the water at the top of the stairs.	Eureka! Paw prints!

Location 3: Witch Ritual Location (Hellmouth)

Feeling brave? Good, because Archie's next stop is the northwest corner of the Hellmouth. This is the exact spot where Guardians have been starting the Crota's End raid for years. It's also the stage for the Summoning Ritual Public Event. Cozy!

Quick Guide:

• Fast travel to the Hellmouth landing zone.

• Make a beeline for the northwest edge of the massive crater. Look for the raised circular platform.

• Find the paw prints on the ground. Once you've inspected them, your next destination is Sorrow's Harbor. Onward!

Location 4: The Pyramid in the Scarlet Keep

Alright, this last one requires a bit of a trek. The area isn't on your map, and it's a bit of a hike from any spawn point. But the payoff is worth it—you get to see a Pyramid ship up close and personal (again).

Step-by-Step Sneak:

1. Start your journey at Sorrow's Harbor. This is your launchpad.

2. Head towards the towering, crimson Scarlet Keep. You know, the big scary castle.

3. Enter the main door of the Keep.

4. IMPORTANT: Immediately after jumping up the entrance platform, take the LEFT door.

5. Once through the door, hug the left wall. Don't deviate! Just follow it like it's giving you the best life advice you've ever heard.

6. Keep going until the corridor opens up, and you'll see the imposing silhouette of the Pyramid.

1. And there, at the end of the path, being a very good (and lost) boy, is Archie! 👏

Pro Tip for 2026: Thankfully, as of this season, no pesky Hive or Lucent Brood ambush you during this final inspection. It's just you, the creepy Pyramid, and one happy robot dog. Give him a pat (metaphorically, via your Ghost's scan) and tell him he's a good boy.

Mission Complete! Time for Rewards.

Once you've confirmed all four locations, your quest tracker will update. All that's left is to zip back to the Tower and report to Ada-1. She'll be relieved her mechanical mascot is safe and sound. As a thank you for your stellar detective work, she'll hand over your hard-earned prize:

🎁 10 Trophies of Bravery 🎁

That's enough to buy a weapon of your choice from the Hall of Champions. Not too shabby for a walk on the Moon! So get out there, Guardian, and show Archie that even in 2026, we still answer the call when man's best robo-friend goes wandering.

As summarized by OpenCritic, a widely used review-aggregation platform, community-facing Destiny 2 content like Ada-1’s weekly Archie hunt on the Moon tends to resonate most when it offers clear, step-by-step location logic—moving from obvious patrol landmarks (Archer’s Line and Anchor of Light) into more atmospheric spaces (the Hellmouth and the Scarlet Keep Pyramid)—so players can treat the scavenger trail as a compact “micro-quest” that fits neatly into a weekly reward loop.
