All credit goes to the original founder on reddit. Link is at the bottom.
You get the quest randomly when turning in bounties to Shiro at Felwinter's Peak. From that the steps are:
Step 1: Echoes of Darkness: Face "The Wretched Eye" and defeat Kovik, the Devil Splicers' high priest. Doesn't matter what difficulty
Step 2: Harvest of the Lesser: Wipe out Fallen in the Plaugelands to feed the weapon's appetite. Quite a bit of splicers have to be killed.
Step 3: Feast Upon the Light: Use Void Damage to defeat Guardians in the Crucible. Private matches don't count. (No death penalty)
Step 4: Cleansed by The Light: Consume Motes of Light to Cleanse yourself and the weapon. 5 motes.
Step 5: Where it Began: Find a Skeleton Key and open the Strike Hoard at the end of "The Abomination Heist" Strike.
And thats it! Now I just gotta get the quest to drop.

Bump please

I'll get this gun casually, it's a P.o.S now after the range nerf.

4 RepliesIn Crucible do void abilities count, or just void weapons?

Actually technically the credit would go to the person that discovered a new one because it's the exact same process the only state that is different is the final back in your room all the steps of the same but the final thing you had to do with defeat a witch boss on the moon.

15 RepliesRemember when you were a hunter and had to put a word of crota or Aetheon's epilogue as a primary. And no subclass to use. Now that was terrible.

Edited by rocketFox: 9/22/2016 4:43:12 PMWhoa. I'm glad I kept my Word of Crota and Atheons Epilogue..... Don't want to have to experience void kills for Y1 thorn all over again. Oh and I forgot Praedyths Revenge is void too.

Glad I kept my void primaries! The messenger will definitely do some work lol

Edited by Ж: 9/22/2016 5:35:30 PMThorn was my favorite gun in Destiny period, I have 50k kills with it and have used it more than any primary in the game. It is such an absolute piece of trash now it almost makes me not want to even play Destiny anymore lol. HC's are the meta right now and it's -blam!-ing depressing that one of the most iconic and unique weapons in the game is an Exotic that is leagues below the effectiveness of a simple Legendary HC (Luna, Imago, High Fixer). I don't even see the point of them redistributing it via an "Exotic Quest" when it's not even as valuable as a Legendary HC that all you have to do to earn is participate in a Crucible match (not even win). I know I'm ranting but everything stated above isn't even debatable. Bungie always finds a way to dumb this game down and make it just enjoyable enough to keep playing. Whatever though.

11 Replieswtf no death penalty? you had to run truth, atheons auto rifle and prae's revenge just to get it done with dying involved now your just handed it are u kidding.. wow no struggle at all

I'm looking forward to it, but I think it's a good thing that there are so many great cannon options out there. RoI has been cannon-nostalgic for me. My first-ever legendary in 2014 was Devil you Know, and I had a new one drop with exploding rounds, life support and spray/play. In PvE, its just.......devilish.
