Serious Question about Sundered Doctrine

[u/Overall-Apartment-14]

So I finished the quest, got the gear focusing BS unlocked, but I still don't have the LFR. Since I've already done the puzzle, as soon as I get the exotic will I immediately have the catalyst as well?

[u/ImTriggered247]

IIRC, you still need to enter the code at the beginning to acquire the catalyst from the vault chest after you obtain Finality’s Auger and must be done in the same run as entering the code.

[u/CrmsonFangs → u/ImTriggered247]

Could you just enter the code every time you run it so if it does drop you can also get the catalyst in the same run?

[u/ImTriggered247 → u/CrmsonFangs]

Tbh I’m not sure but probably?

[u/chrisc1591 → u/CrmsonFangs]

In theory, it can work but you need to be careful of the timing. The exotic drops upon activity completion, but the timer and activity completion screen do not pop right away, there is a delay after the door opens (it may even be after one person opens the chest, I’m not sure but I know there is definitely a delay). So you would just need to wait for activity completion and the timer to pop and then you go through the door to the other chest to claim the catalyst.

The loot from boss drops before that so yes it theory it would work but hard to know for sure due to how bungie codes things sometimes.

You'll have to do 1 more run when you have it

[u/JollyMolasses7825]

Yes

[u/Confident-Run5873 → u/JollyMolasses7825]

You wont, youll have to input worm give guardian and complete the dungeon the youll get it from the chest behind the door

[u/JollyMolasses7825 → u/Confident-Run5873]

Is that not the last step of the quest?

[u/Confident-Run5873 → u/JollyMolasses7825]

It is, but its also how you get the catalyst

[u/JollyMolasses7825 → u/Confident-Run5873]

So if they’ve finished the quest they’ll have the catalyst, you don’t have to do it again after you get the weapon

[u/Confident-Run5873 → u/JollyMolasses7825]

Yes you do
