Beyond Light Step 5 Bugged — Ziggurat Splinter Missing (Steam PC)
I’m blocked on Step 5 of Beyond Light: attune with the Ziggurat. I spoke to the Exo Stranger for Step 4, but the required splinter never spawns. A splinter for a later campaign step is visible, but the one I need is missing.
Everything I’ve tried:
- Abandoned all other abandonable quests.
- Spoke to Lodi on Europa, then reloaded Europa.
- Spoke to Lodi in a fireteam with another player leading.
- Completed all rendezvous triumph milestones.
- Checked the Tower’s Quest Archive for missed quests.
- Restarted the game in a different language to try clearing the cache.
- Verified game files and cleared Steam’s download cache.
- Walked from the campsite to the Ziggurat.
- Checked the campsite for interactable objects.
- Loaded into Charon’s Crossing and travelled to Beyond by Sparrow.
- Replayed Darkness’s Doorstep and the Beyond Light Timeline mission.
- Joined players who had completed Beyond Light and players who had never started it.
- Played through Steps 1–6 with another fireteam; my quest did not progress.
- Tested another character, which progressed past Step 5 without issues.
- Completed The Final Shape campaign and Micah-10’s quests, including The Veil.
- Spoke to the Exo Stranger and Variks again.
- Opened the quest details page, then tried both launching and exiting.
- Played the same account on a different PC.
- Killed my character in several different ways near the Ziggurat.
- Jumped and explored throughout the Ziggurat area, checking for hidden interaction prompts or misplaced splinters.
- Submitted a Bungie Support ticket; no response yet.
I found a similar issue here, but no confirmed fix:

Is there a known workaround or a way to reset this character’s quest progress without deleting them? This is blocking Beyond Light progression and access to Stasis on a character I’ve had for over 10 years.
I’ve included every troubleshooting step above to help narrow things down and assist anyone experiencing the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.
