Destiny 2’s Trivial Mysteries are part of the Ley Line Rumours challenge, where you’ll be exploring the Shattered Realm in search for them.
Debuting in Season of the Lost, and working similarly to Atlas Skews, this is one of the first challenges you can complete during week 1, which will remain available throughout the season.
While the first challenge only requires for you to gather three Trivial Mysteries alone, each one you find unlocks a secret triumph entry. Plus, knowing their locations may come in handy for the rest of the season, too.
This page explains where to find Trivial Mysteries as well as how to complete Ley Line Rumours in the Shattered Realm.

How the Ley Line Rumours challenge in Destiny 2 works
Ley Line Rumours is one of the challenges in week 1 of Season of the Lost, and requires a series of steps beforehand.
In order to kickstart the challenge, you must complete the introductory quest of the new season called Mission Cocoon. Then, after reaching the end of Wayfinder’s Voyage I, the Wayfinder’s Voyage questline will unlock this area.
From step one and onwards, the Shattered Realm will become available as an area to visit via a mission in the H.E.L.M. destination tab.
However, while the challenge will be available right away, you won’t be able to find Travel Mysteries until you unlock the Barrier Breach upgrade for your Wayfinder’s Compass.
If you’re following the Wayfinder’s Voyage questline, you will end up in the Shattered Realm once, but don’t worry about Travel Mysteries yet as they won’t be available. Once you’re onto the third step, you’ll be asked to purchase the upgrade for 150 Parallax Trajectory.
At last, you’re all set! Run the Shattered Realms mission again whenever after obtaining the upgrade, and you’ll be able to complete the Ley Line Rumours challenge as well as unlock secret triumphs.
You only need three Travel Mysteries, so take your pick from the list below. In addition, you’ll have to align beacons a total of six times – since you have already complete the mission once during the questline, you’ll have to complete it two more times.
Now, let’s see where those Travel Mystery locations are.
Entombed Travel Mystery location
The Entombed Travel Mystery can be found around the Catacombs area. To access it, you first need to complete the first beacon inside the church.
Once outside of the church after aligning the beacon, head to the crypt that is up the hill, overlooking the location you just left.
It’s rather easy to follow this one, as the Barrier Breach can be invoked right outside of the entrance.
Head downstairs and follow the corridor before making a U turn to the right (watch out for some hidden enemies!) to find a chest on the other end. Open it and the Entombed Travel Mystery will be completed.
Taken Root Travel Mystery location
The Taken Root Travel Mystery can be found in the Descent area. To access it, you first need to complete the first beacon inside the church.
Once outside of the church after aligning the beacon, head towards the direction of the second beacon (the light that goes up to the sky guides the way). Before jumping to the other side, make a U turn and you will find another device from where to invoke a Barrier Breach.
Once more, you won’t need to do any kind of acrobatics or anything. Activate the device and head inside the cave on the other end that is blocked by the barrier.
You will find the chest on the other side of the barrier.
Left Behind Travel Mystery location
The Left Behind Travel Mystery can be found around the Ruins area. To access it, you first need to complete the first beacon inside the church.
Once outside the church, head west and upwards some platforms that will take you to the abandoned ruins in the vicinity.
After ending up in the main area, here is where it gets a bit tricky. You will see the barrier in no time, which is on ground level and protects an entrance to one of the buildings. The problem is that you’ll have to make a few jumps to invoke the Barrier Breach.
Considering that you’re hit by the Slowed debuff inside here, it will take a few retries. First, you’re going to want to climb on top of the circular-shaped structure next to the tree.
From there, you will see a massive boulder close to the building’s balcony, which is our ultimate goal. You can either try and jump from the rock, or also attempt the jump by letting yourself fall in between the ruins and the rock.
After reaching the balcony, all you have to do is walk slightly ahead of you and make a quick turn to notice the Barrier Breach device.
Activate it, and then head inside the ruins. You will find the chest on the ground floor.
Twofold Ward Travel Mystery location
The Twofold Ward Travel Mystery can be found around the Outer Ruins area. To access it, you first need to complete the first beacon inside the church.
Once outside of the church after aligning the beacon, you will notice a statue on your way out. If you look to the farther end, you will notice a path in the vicinity with a entrance akin to a bridge or gate.
After fighting your way inside the Outer Ruins, get to the second floor by jumping on the rocks that are forming a staircase of sorts. Immediately after you get up you will see the barrier.
From there, turn around towards the left and you will find the Barrier Breach vice right behind one of the pillars. Activate it and go through the barrier.
It may seem as if there’s nothing on the other end, and you’re right! Except for the Travel Mystery that is located in one of the islands ahead of you.
You can move as normal here, so go ahead and double jump your way to the chest to grab the Twofold Ward Travel Mystery.
In Shadow Travel Mystery location
The In Shadow Travel Mystery can be found around the Harrowed Cliffs area. To access it, you first need to complete the second beacon, which is on the other side of the Shattered Realm.
After aligning the second beacon, you will notice a few glowing rings in the landscape behind it – head towards that direction.
Before stumbling upon the edge of the ground, double jump to the rocks on your right and follow that path to find a island below with three glowing devices.
The device you want is the one overlooking the cave with the barrier on the other side.
Once inside, open the chest to obtain the In Shadow Travel Mystery.
Abandoned Travel Mystery location
The Abandoned Travel Mystery can be found around the Mill area. To access it, you first need to complete the second beacon, which is on the other side of the Shattered Realm.
The first few steps of this one are the same as In Shadow, since you need to get to that same cave. If you’ve just finished doing it, then great, as you can just pick things up.
After aligning the second beacon, you will notice a few glowing rings in the landscape behind it – head towards that direction.
Before stumbling upon the edge of the ground, double jump to the rocks on your right and follow that path to find a island below with three glowing devices.
The device you want is the one overlooking the cave with the barrier on the other side.
After grabbing the In Shadow Travel Mystery, you’re going to want to activate the Barrier Breach device inside the cave, and head outside through the other entrance (not the one you just used!)
Now, make a run to the entrance (the ‘corridor’ from where you went in to align the second beacon). This will make you run right past the aforementioned mill.
Once at the entrance, get past the barrier and open the chest to find the Abandoned Travel Mystery.
Season of the Lost is here, with new Exotics and the long-awaited arrival of crossplay. New activities include the Wayfinders Voyage, the Astral Alignment activity and finding Atlas Skew locations.
Elsewhere, we’ve seen new Nightfall weapons such as the Uzume RR4, Plug One.1 and Hung Jury SR4.
Other recent new features include transmog and materials Synthstrand, Synthcord and Synthweave, the Splicer Gauntlet and Decrypted Data used to upgrade it.
Deep Defenses Travel Mystery location
The Deep Defenses Travel Mystery can be found around the Sunken Cave area. To access it, you first need to complete the second beacon, which is on the other side of the Shattered Realm.
After aligning the second beacon, head all the way back towards the entrance of the beacon’s area.
In order to get to the boss you will need to go through the massive black portal in the centre island. But first, we’re taking a detour.
Head to the left area by jumping on the floating rocks and towards the complete opposite direction of the portal to find a path that leads to the Ruins area.
In there, head all the way forward and turn right to find a Barrier Breach device behind the white building ruins.
Let yourself fall to the area below, which will lead you to the Sunken Cave.
Once there, you will find the chest behind the barrier. If you didn’t grab the Barrier Breach, just go upwards again, as it’s a fairly short distance.
Open the chest to find the Deep Defenses Travel Mystery. That’s all of them for the time being!
