Reading the lore tab on the Whisper of the Worm reveals further details about Warmind’s villains and what this quest means for Destiny 2’s story. In addition, bosses at the end of this mission are old Destiny 1 enemies that we already killed that have been taken. During The Whisper, we surprisingly hear Xol speak once more (actually about three times), even though he was presumed to have been killed. At the conclusion of the Warmind expansion’s campaign, people were disappointed that the worm god Xol and Hive prince Nokris were so quickly introduced and then easily felled, despite being such notable and powerful beings. Perhaps most interesting–besides all of these other interesting aspects, of course–are the lore implications behind this quest. Is this the mysterious hidden seventh Vault of Glass chest? Resurrection of the Worm God While you can’t pass through the portal, shooting the oracles that appear in the same order as the Vault of Glass oracles will spawn another chest that contains an Exotic ship blueprint and an item needed for the Sleeper Simulant Masterwork quest. Collecting them all will activate a Vex portal and allow players a glimpse inside the Vault of Glass through a portal that was inactive throughout Destiny 1 (aside from a single mission).
Inside the Heroic version of the mission there are five secret chests to collect. Completing the Heroic version grants the Masterwork catalyst for the gun, but the secrets don’t end there either. Upon completing The Whisper once, a selectable node will be added to your map for a Power 400 Heroic version of the mission. That’s not the end of the secrets, however.

Once all three bosses are dead, you will be rewarded with the Whisper of the Worm, the Exotic sniper rifle. The final room contains three bosses that must be killed, in addition to tons of adds.
After the jumping section, you will come across three rooms full of Taken enemies that need to be killed, familiar to anyone who obtained the Black Spindle in Destiny 1 through a similar mission structure (minus the jumping puzzle).
