TL;DR
- One Thousand Voices drops from the final chest after the Queenswalk encounter in the Last Wish raid, following the defeat of Riven.
- You need Ethereal Keys to open that chest, earned by defeating Riven through the Wishing Wall.
- The One Thousand Voices catalyst is a random drop from either the Morgeth encounter in Pantheon 2.0 or the same Last Wish final chest.
- Morgeth is the faster farm route since it skips the longer Queenswalk encounter.
- The catalyst adds a Taken-themed perk that spreads seeking Taken Blights from every detonation, making One Thousand Voices a top-tier DPS pick again.
How to Get One Thousand Voices
One Thousand Voices is an Exotic Fusion Rifle from the Last Wish raid. To get it, you need to defeat Riven and clear the Queenswalk encounter that follows. Once Queenswalk is complete, open the final chest using an Ethereal Key. You can carry up to 5 Ethereal Keys in your inventory and another 5 in the Postmaster, so you can stockpile a few keys before opening chests.
Ethereal Keys come from defeating Riven, which can be farmed repeatedly through the Wishing Wall. This makes Riven farming the first step, and Queenswalk completion the second step, before One Thousand Voices can actually drop.
How to Get the One Thousand Voices Catalyst
The catalyst has two possible drop sources:
- A random drop after defeating Morgeth in Pantheon 2.0.
- A random drop from the same final chest after Queenswalk in the Last Wish raid.
Morgeth is generally the faster farm of the two, since reaching Queenswalk requires clearing the longer Riven encounter first, even though Riven himself can be cheesed fairly quickly. Morgeth, on the other hand, is a more direct boss fight you can repeat without needing to clear extra encounters beforehand. For tips on speeding up that fight, check the Morgeth Pantheon guide.
There’s no weekly lockout on either farm route, and no guaranteed drop after any set number of clears, so expect to run one or both encounters multiple times. Like other Monument of Triumph catalysts, there’s no time pressure since this content is permanent.
What Does the One Thousand Voices Catalyst Do?
The catalyst turns One Thousand Voices partially Taken. Its detonations now produce Taken energy that seeks out nearby targets and applies a Blight effect to them, adding extra area damage on top of the weapon’s already powerful Solar beam explosions. This effectively gives the gun a built-in add-clear tool alongside its already strong single-target and boss damage.
Best Build for One Thousand Voices
To get the most out of the catalyst, pair it with the Tablet of Ruin Artifact perk, Particle Reconstruction, which refills the magazine from reserves and grants bonus damage while dealing sustained Linear Fusion Rifle damage. From there, stack Solar Weapon Surge mods on your leg armor and run Solar aspects that extend scorch and ignition effects, such as Ember of Ashes, Ember of Char, and Ember of Eruption, to maximize the area damage from the catalyst’s Taken detonations.
This combination works especially well alongside other top-tier Exotics in a DPS-focused loadout, since One Thousand Voices can now cover both burst damage and area control in the same rotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get One Thousand Voices without clearing the full Last Wish raid?
No. You need to defeat Riven and clear the Queenswalk encounter before you can open the final chest that drops the weapon.
Is the Morgeth or Last Wish catalyst farm faster?
Morgeth in Pantheon 2.0 is generally considered the faster farm, since it skips the longer Queenswalk encounter required for the Last Wish chest.
Does the catalyst have a weekly lockout?
No. Both the weapon and catalyst farms can be repeated as often as you like with no weekly restrictions.
Is One Thousand Voices still good in the current sandbox?
Yes. The new catalyst’s Taken Blight effect, combined with Solar scorch and ignition mods, makes it one of the stronger Heavy weapon picks for endgame PvE again.
