Destiny 2: Ultimate Taken Osseous Fragment Guide for Barrow-Dyad Exotic Upgrades (2025)
Master the challenging Taken Osseous Fragments locations in Destiny 2 to unlock Barrow-Dyad Exotic upgrades with our detailed guide and tips.
Hey Guardians! 😤 If you're grinding for that sweet Barrow-Dyad Exotic this season, you already know the Taken Osseous Fragments are driving us all nuts. Just like Destiny 1’s Calcified Fragments, these 18 collectibles aboard the Dreadnaught are KEY for unlocking intrinsic upgrades—grab six for the first perk, but you’ll need all 18 to max out Barrow-Dyad later. I’ve spent hours scouring every corner of The Nether activity solo, and let me tell you, some of these spots are sneaky! 💀 Whether you’re in Hall of Souls, Mausoleum, or Trenchway, I’ve got your back with pinpoint locations. Trust me, it’s easier than that Corrupted GM Nightfall we all hate. Now let’s dive in!
🔍 Hall of Souls Taken Osseous Fragments

-
Fragment #1: Spawn in, turn 45° right, sprint to the corner pillar. It’s literally staring at you—how did we miss this?! 🤯
-
Fragment #2: Left of Court of Oryx, head north into weapons room, hug right wall under a platform. Easy if you don’t agro those Thrall! 👻
-
Fragment #3: Same start as #2, go south toward Tormentor room. Halfway down blue hall, peek right wall gap. Feels like a secret mission! 🕵️♂️
-
Fragment #4: East of Court of Oryx (right side), face Dreadnaught hull corner. Jump that gap—it’s shimmering in the dark. Bring a sword for safety! ⚔️
-
Fragment #5: Eastern corner again, right under north platform to Tormentor room. Perched on a rectangular pillar. Don’t fall into the abyss! 😅
-
Fragment #6: Edge of Hall of Souls, find it on a broken support beam jutting over the chasm. So precarious—Bungie loves trolling us. 🙃
⚰️ Mausoleum Taken Osseous Fragments

-
Fragment #1: Spawn, turn around, drop down, check platform lip. Almost too obvious—why’s it always in spawn zones?! 🏃♂️
-
Fragment #2: Find dormant portal center, drop lower floor, take two steps right into corner. Watch for Taken snipers lurking! 👾
-
Fragment #3: From portal, turn 90° left, dash to tentacle platform. Slide under—feels like parkour mode activated. 🧗♀️
-
Fragment #4: Center-top pile of broken pillars. Jump up for a killer view... and the fragment. Perfect for flexing in clan screenshots! 📸
-
Fragment #5: Boss path near Dreadnaught floor bed, curve right, scale rocks. Or yeet from tentacle near #3. Your choice, Guardian! 😎
-
Fragment #6: Boss arena floor, wrap around right-side rocks. Hidden like a dev’s inside joke. Classic Destiny move. 🤬
🚧 Trenchway Taken Osseous Fragments

-
Fragment #1: Spawn, turn 45° right, drop to sloped platform near portal exit. Literally a freebie—thank you, Bungie! 🎁
-
Fragment #2: Taken Witch area, stare at wall leading into Dreadnaught, spot warped platform above. Run up angled path. Feels like Titan-skating days! 🛹
-
Fragment #3: Near Witch encounter, sprint to Taken-blocked exit, check right-side Hive debris pile. Watch out for those Acolyte eyes! 👁️
-
Fragment #4: Elevated platform next to Subjugator fight. Head inside, stairs down. Bring a Scout Rifle to clear adds first! 🔫
-
Fragment #5: Left interior corner, climb spore sacks and warped platforms. Jump puzzle vibes—RIP to anyone without triple jump. 😭
-
Fragment #6: Oryx’s throne entrance (Destiny 1 flashbacks!), deploy Ghost for hidden platforms. Cross chasm, scan nearby rocks. Nostalgia overload! 👑
❓ People Also Ask

A: ABSOLUTELY! 💪 All 18 are designed for solo play—no fireteam needed. Just avoid enemy hotspots!

💭 Final Thoughts
So... we’ve mapped every fragment, but here’s what keeps me up at night: Is grinding collectibles like this actually fun, or just FOMO padding? 🤔 Remember D1’s Fragments? These feel nostalgic yet kinda repetitive. And will Bungie add MORE fragments next season? Share your rage/love in the comments—I’ll be farming while you debate! ✌️ #GuardianLife
