Destiny 2 Cyst Lost Encryption Bit Locations

Destiny 2 had certain secrets for Guardians to discover and one of these is tied to finding the Exotic Auto Rifle known as Khvostov 7G-0X.

Guardians will often go through the process of completing each of the Cysts located around the Pale Heart and during these activities, you can find what appears to be scrap technology.

Searching these will give Lost Encryption Bits, giving you a total of 6 from Cysts that are required with the ones you find from the Region Chests for a total of 15. (9 from Region Chest)

All Lost Encryption Bit Locations

1) Smothering Darkness Encryption Bit Location

After completing the Smothering Darkness, you will need to head towards the opening nearby that looks like a mouth with a set of teeth.

Make your way inside and there will be rock platforms, but you won’t be jumping on these and instead, you will need to drop to the bottom.

Once you are at the bottom, continue along the path and once you reach the end, make a right and you will find the parts there. 

After defeating the boss in this Cyst, there will be a cave entrance that leads to a path with a purple light emitting from it.

You will see a large boulder that a tree is covering and will need to proceed past it until you reach a tree next to a large boulder.

Check behind the tree next to the boulder (before you reach the tunnel with purple light) and you will find the parts there.

2) Seering Light Encryption Bit Location

Once you have disabled the room from burning you to a crisp, there will be a cave entrance that has purple light emitting from it.

Head into this room and go past the first boulder as you make a turn to your left where another boulder may be found.

Go past the boulder and eventually you will reach a dead end, which is where you will be able to find the parts.

3) Seering Light Encryption Bit Location

As you make your way into the room where there are crystal structures, you will need to head down to the left where there is a set of stairs.

You will need to reach the ground as the entrance to where the parts are found on this level, giving you the option to jump down or follow the stairs.

As you stick to the rock wall, you will find a small entrance on the left that you can take and this will lead you to the parts.

4) Sword Dance Encryption Bit Location

In the Sword Dance Cyst, you will need to fight your way to the room with structures inside of it and make your way to the end.

Once you reach the end, there will be a door-sized opening if you look down and you will need to jump down carefully or glide to reach it.

Upon reaching the entrance, make your way inside and break through the debris until you find the parts behind them.

5) Aerial Race Encryption Bit Location

After defeating the boss in the volcanic area, you will need to search for the path where there is lava leading to a slope.

This slope can be distinguished by the purple crystal-like object that is dipped in the lava, which you will need to head over to.

Once you reach the slope, there will be a path that you need to follow further and just before you reach the next pool of lava, there will be a small opening to the right.

After you spot the entrance, you can crouch through it and find the parts inside of it, which are visible from the outside.

Verdict

The Cysts that you need to explore to find the Lost Encryption Bits are often done during the Alone in the Dark quests from Micah-10.

All the Cysts can be done in any order and if it appears as if there are only 3 on your map, this is because you need to interact with the Bird of Light to swap them.

Obtaining the Lost Encryption Bits from the Cysts and the Region Chests can be done in any order and upon obtaining the last one, you will receive a Lost Encryption Code.
