Starcat Locations: Destiny 2 Guide

Find all Destiny 2 Season of the Wish Starcat collectibles with this location guide, from Blind Well to Garden of Plenty.

The moment I heard whispers of a new collectible in Season of the Wish, my Guardian instincts kicked in. Starcat—a name no one in the Tower seemed to recognize—was supposedly this glowing, ethereal feline scattered across the Dreaming City and beyond. I had to find them. Not just for the Triumphs, but because there's something oddly personal about chasing a cat in a universe filled with Hive gods and Vex simulations. It was 2026, and the season had just launched. I remember standing in the HELM, staring at an incomplete secret Triumph, knowing that my journey would soon get a little furrier.

My first stop was The Blind Well. This activity has hosted countless battles, but today I was there for a different reason. Before I even touched the charge station, I walked to the edge of the central Well and peered across the room. The giant door on the far side loomed like a forgotten vault entrance. I could feel the Starcat's pull—a faint shimmering presence. I climbed the stairs, my spurs clicking against ancient stone, and there she was. A small, luminous queen of fur, sitting calmly as if she'd been waiting for centuries. I presented my offering—something simple, yet meaningful—and the Triumph notification flashed across my screen. My heart did a little leap. One down. The Starcat purred digitally, and I couldn't help but smile.

Now, the second Starcat was a completely different beast. The Garden of Plenty. Even the name sounds abundant, but getting there required more than just a sparrow ride. I had to replay the Week 1 story quest, "Polysemy," which took me through a playground of platforms before depositing me into that lush, overgrown arena. If you're following my footsteps, don't blink. After landing in the Garden, I noticed a wide staircase descending ahead. Most Guardians would charge forward, eager to blast Vex, but I took a left turn at the bottom. A small cliff edge. My Ghost hesitated, but I assured it, "Trust me." I leaped off the edge and fell—not to my death, but into a tiny alcove I never knew existed. There she was, the second Starcat, eyes glinting. Another offering, another Triumph. I felt like an adventurer unearthing a secret the developers had hidden just for the observant few.

But what if you miss her? I learned the hard way. On my main character, I completed the quest without even knowing the Starcat existed. Panic set in. The Triumph remained uncompleted. I could start over with a different class—a fresh Hunter or Titan—and replay the entire seasonal questline just to reach that one moment again. That felt tedious. Instead, I dove into Riven's Lair, the matchmade activity that rotates through three portals. Only the left portal, the realm of the Vex, could potentially lead me back to the Garden of Plenty. Even then, after the first platforming section, the game sometimes spat me into an alternate version of the location. No Starcat. Just disappointment. I kept quitting and rematching, listening for the telltale hum of the left portal activating. Hours passed. I cursed Riven's name, but her trickery is legendary. It became a grind of patience—a test of how badly I wanted that glowing cat.

Eventually, the portal aligned. The platforming puzzle felt like muscle memory, and when I saw the staircase, I practically flew down. Leaping off that cliff felt like a reunion. The Starcat was still there, indifferent to my struggle. I gifted her again and finally, finally, the Triumph popped. Relief washed over me. It reminded me that Destiny 2 is at its best when it rewards exploration and stubbornness. If you're out there, Guardian, don't give up. Use the rituals: start a new character if you must, or brave the matchmaking roulette. The Starcats are worth the tale you'll tell.

Quick Tips I Picked Up Along the Way ✨

🐾 The Blind Well Starcat : Before starting the event, look at the giant door opposite the Well. Go to the top of the stairs. No combat needed.
🐾 Garden of Plenty Starcat : During the "Polysemy" quest, reach the wide staircase, go left at the bottom, and fall off the cliff. If you missed the quest, use an alternate character or grind Riven's Lair until you get the left portal and the correct post-platforming area.
🐾 Matchmaking trick : If your Riven portal isn't left, leave the Fireteam and re-queue. It's a time-saver.

These furry queens may be small, but they add a layer of charm to the cosmic war we fight daily. In 2026, I still remember the thrill of finding them, and I hope this guide helps you feel that same spark. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a new cat to find in whatever secret corner the universe holds next.
