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.

The quest dropped when I handed in a forge bounty if that helps

5 RepliesOk so I'm not a noob but just to clarify the only bounties that have a chance of dropping said quest is the weekly bounties shiro gives? Or do daily vanguard bounties also work? Again not a noob just asking for clarification

Is the quest only unlocked thru shiro's bounties? If so is the Archon forge able to be completed solo
