Pro Game Guides lists 11 Paranormal Activity locations across the Pale Heart in Destiny 2: The Transgression, The Blooming, The Impasse, The Lost City, The Lost City Outskirts, The Seclusion, The Landing, The Forgotten Deep, The Blooming Deep, The Divide, and The Refraction. The activity order can vary, so follow the Paranormal Activity marker currently visible on your map rather than expecting a fixed rotation. These activities take place in the Pale Heart, the destination within the Traveler associated with The Final Shape (Bungie; Bungie Help).

How to unlock and complete Paranormal Activities

Pro Game Guides says you must complete Micah-10’s repeatable Alone in the Dark quest to make a Paranormal Activity marker appear. The guide reports that 11 completions reveal all 11 activities; treat that count as the guide’s account, not an independently confirmed Bungie requirement. The marker order may differ between players, so use the location shown in your own map.

  1. Complete Alone in the Dark until a Paranormal Activity marker appears on the Pale Heart map.
  2. Travel to the marker and commune with the light to receive the Aura of Balance buff.
  3. Find the two Paracausal Geometries. Shoot the blue Light cube with a Light-damage weapon and the red or orange Darkness cube with a Darkness-damage weapon.
  4. Move to a nearby ledge, platform, or other vantage point if you cannot see both cubes from the commune point. The puzzle requires you to line up a clear view of both.

The steps and weapon-damage instructions follow the walkthrough from Pro Game Guides, last updated June 11, 2024.

All 11 Paranormal Activity locations and landmarks

Use the landmarks below to orient yourself after reaching the activity marker. This is the walkthrough’s listing order, not a guaranteed unlock sequence. Directions are landmarks rather than exact coordinates.

Does completing them unlock The First Knife?

Pro Game Guides reports that completing every Pale Heart Paranormal Activity unlocks the Exotic ship The First Knife. The Bungie expansion and help pages linked above describe The Final Shape and the Pale Heart but do not independently confirm this specific reward. Because the reward claim comes from a guide last updated June 11, 2024, check the in-game reward state if you need current confirmation.
