These Quests are part of the Microcosm Exotic questline, introduced with The Final Shape expansion. They involve helping Micah-10, the Exo Stranger, save and protect lost Ghosts.

Here’s a breakdown of each quest:

Convalescence: Rootbound:

Find a Lost Ghost inside The Forgotten Deep area.
Return to Micah-10 and interact with the fracture.
Reward: Deepsight Resonance Pattern for a random weapon from The Pale Heart12.

Final Convalescence Quest: Budding

In the Convalescence: Budding quest, you’ll need to complete three campaign missions in Cooperative Focus mode. These missions are set at a Light level of 2005, but enemies are on par with those in the Legendary campaign. Unlike previous Convalescence quests, you can’t solo these. New mechanics include dealing with Scourge Berserkers, breaking their shields, and managing the Fractured by the Witness debuff. Once you conquer the Ascent, Dissent, and Iconoclasm missions, head to Micah-10’s Conduit in the Lost City to claim your Microcosm.

Ascent:

This mission features all the Cooperative Focus mechanics. It’s the most complex of the three. You’ll encounter enemies with unique abilities and need to communicate effectively with your fireteam. The power level requirement is high (2005), but don’t worry—the enemies are similar to Legendary-level foes. If you’re between 1940 and 1990 power, you’re good to go.

Dissent:

In this mission, you’ll face Berserkers and deal with the Witness Fracturing mechanic. Communication is key as you tackle these challenges. Remember, the goal is to complete the mission and earn rewards, including the coveted Microcosm.

Iconoclasm:

The final mission against the Witness awaits here. You’ll also encounter Glyphtouched enemies and more Berserkers. Again, teamwork and communication are crucial. Check if this mission grants Pinnacle rewards before diving in.

Conclusion

After completing the final quest, return to Micah-10 to claim your Microcosm Exotic Trace Rifle. Remember, communication and cooperation are key. Good luck on your quest for the Microcosm!
