Guardians,
We are aware of a number of different issues regarding the Elder Cipher Bounty that can be granted from the Skolas challenge Arena in the Prison of Elders. These include:
- Simultaneously receiving duplicate copies of the Elder Cipher Bounty
- Unable to accept first bounty step/select bounty weapon from Variks
- Bounty not present in inventory
- Mission Notification present for The Reef while waiting for Variks to summon the player to continue
We apologize for any confusion that may have been caused and are actively investigating these issues.
[b]UPDATE 6/15/2015:[/b] With the release of HotFix 1.2.0.3, all issues with the Elder Cipher bounty should be resolved. Please speak with Variks in the Reef to check on status of your Elder Cipher bounty, if you have been unable to interact with the bounty previously. If you have 2 Elder Cipher bounties in your Inventory, please abandon both of them. Variks will offer you a chance to recover 1 bounty if you visit him in the Reef. Please note, you will not receive multiple awards for having 2 Elder Cipher bounties in your inventory.

1 ReplyDo we have to be on while waiting for variks in orbit or can I turn off my xbox
-
10 RepliesSince I still have a rewards symbol over the reef while I am waiting for variks to summon me, does that mean my bounty is glitched? I really dont want that to be true
-
4 RepliesHow long is it supposed to take for variks to summon me?
-
So if it doesnt let me go on to the next stage do i just dismantle the bounty, and will i have to start over?
-
I received 2 Elder Cipher bounties last night. Do I really need to delete both of them? Or can I just complete them? Having some problems with deleting them ;-) Bungie can you confirm I can finish both & only get 1? I'm okay if I only receive 1 of them after getting 1000 pts, Please respond

Ok im having the issue of the reef saying i have a reward but when i go to the reef variks has nothing for me. It is in the stage of waiting for variks to decipher the queens cipher. I got the elder cipher from skolas approximately 5 days ago
-
2 RepliesIt says he's summoned me but when I go, there is nothing there to grab. like it will have the little notification hovering over the reef icon saying I have a reward but I will go and there's nothing there
-
2 RepliesOk I'm at the part where I need to wait to be summoned. If I abandon them both will I still be at the same spot?

1 ReplyIf it's fixed why the -blam!-ing have I not gotten my weapon it's bin 3 weeks.
-
I not only lost my completed bounty but got my new bounty taken away when I turned it in. This is ridiculous I don't know why I worked towards doing this if I got it taken away. RIP queen breakers bow. Thanks destiny appreciate all the time I put in for it to be absolutely ruined
-
What's totes ridiculous is the higher ups adding a ridiculous stage in the quest that makes you wait for an unspecified amount of time. It's ridiculous! Maybe the bugs relating to the waiting could have been avoided completely if you could just take your cipher as soon as it's fixed.

2 RepliesI have 2 elder ciphers that I got on 35 from Monday after the patch. I'm on the second step waiting for variks to summon me. so if I delete them bungie and buddy don't give me one back what am I suppose to do?
-

-

-
Thx kellogs and one question its ok if we have 2 of them but you the passage says abadon both of them is it just to save bounty space
-
1 ReplyI have 2 ciphers complteing in the same exact time when i choose my weapon will i have two of the same weapons
-
Might still be broken. I was really excited at first, seeing that I could turn in my invisible bounty. But now Varkis is summoning me from orbit, (exclamation point over reef) yet does not have anything to say when I interact. Guess I'll still be checking this forum daily...

-
3 RepliesIm having the same issue, im waiting for variks to tell me the ciphers ready and it says I have a reward at the reef but when I go there I dont have anything wtf please help bungie
-
Thingy still shows up, not fixed
-
Hey, just completed 34 and an elder cipher dropped for me. I already had a glitched double cipher so it didn't give me my cipher. Kind of annoyed because I would be able to get all fallen exotics. Can you please fix this?
-
6 RepliesI have a problem where i can't turn in my completed cipher... I am well aware of the steps to completing the bounty: 1st is to beat skolas and get the elder cipher 2nd is talk to skolas and show him that you got the cipher from skolas and he shows you the three possible exotics [b]you can choose from [u]only once you are done with the whole bounty[/u]. [/b] 3rd is to acquire the queen cipher from the queen chest at the end of a high lvl prison of elders (i think you can only get it on 34 and 35) 4th is to give the queen cipher to variks. he the tells you to wait until he is done 5th is to wait at most 72 hours (i think) 6th is to come back to variks once he calls you. he tells you that he has fixed the elder cipher with the queen's cipher but now the cipher wont open. he tells you to kill bosses in the prison of elders in order to show the cipher you are worthy 7th is to kill bosses in the prison of elders until you reach 1000 points in the bounty [the harder bosses give way more points than the 28 ones do which is only 75 (i completed this part with one run of each prison of elders lvl ) ] 8th is to come back to variks and give him the cipher and he gives you your exotic weapon of choice and this is where i have my problem: the GUI display that is suppose to let me choose my weapon does not show up i can "close" the GUI window (when i go up to talk to him, his merchandise is grayed out i assume this is suppose to be the GUI display but the little bottom part does not show up. I press B and can now) proceed to variks' store and merchandise but that does not fix it as talking to him after pressing B again and closing his store and talking to him again does the same thing. I had a similar problem with normal bounties before but the GUI display for them just took a while to load and another similar problem with eris's story bounties that i managed to fix only by completing the eris bouties (not the story ones) since two GUI displays showed up before being able to access her store (the first GUI display did not show up i pressed B to go the the next GUI display and that one showed up. after accepting the rewards of the second GUI display i was able to see the first one that i wanted to see) But seeing as how the Exotic weapons aren't loading for variks and how he has no second GUI display after the first (only if he is giving you the judgement reward for leveling up his reputation another GUI display will show but i took the reward before i completed the bounty) I don't know what to do
