"The story of a sword and its wielder."

— In-game description

A Broken Will is a Quest obtained from Lord Shaxx which requires Guardians to patrol the Dreadnaught collecting twenty-five Hadium Flakes and ten Motes of Light to forge one of three Legendary Swords: Arc Edge, Sol Edge, or Void Edge. The quest has three primary steps.

Steps

Shard of Darkness

"I can approximate the Willbreaker shard's Darkness by the Light it has slain and... it's a lot. Who in the Tower could do something with this?"

— Ghost

• Go to the Last City to speak with Lord Shaxx.

Reforging the Blade

"Hadium reacts to both the Light and the Darkness. The Dreadnaught should have plenty of it."

— Ghost

• Gather Hadium Flakes from the Dreadnaught and Motes of Light to purify them. Hadium Flakes are found in chests on the Dreadnaught.

• Motes of Light are obtained by leveling up beyond Level 40.

Withstand the Elements

"Relic iron from Mars responds to Void forces. The spinmetal found in Old Russia responds to Arc forces. Helium filaments found on the Moon respond to Solar forces. Which will it be?"

— Ghost

• Gather materials from Mars, the Cosmodrome or the Moon that resonate with the Light.

• Get twenty-five Relic Iron for Void, twenty-five Spinmetal for Arc or twenty-five Helium Filaments for Solar.

Enemies

• Hive
