There are 50 Calcified Fragments to be found in Destiny: The Taken King.

This one can be collected on any mission or during patrol.

This can only be obtained during Court of Oryx. This requires a Charged Antiquated Rune.

Fragment XLVII[edit]

This fragment is earned by completing the Tier 3 (Charged Antiquated Rune) Court of Oryx Challenge: Thalnok, Fanatic of Crota. The Tier 3 challenge changes with the weekly reset.

Calcified Fragment XLVII

Thalnok can only be hurt with a Hive Blade. You will see Hagrist, Blade's Edge appear as well as 2 Wizards. Take out the Wizards as a few people deal with Hagrist.

Quickly eliminate him to Hagrist, Blade's Edge to get his Hive Blade. That person is now the swordbearer. Have them rush at Thalnok. The rest of the Guardians need to tear through Thalnok's shield with their weapons. When the shield goes down, the bearer should be arriving. Attack a few times and then pull back. Do not be there when he stands up because Thalnok can kill you in a blow. With good coordination you can easily get 2, maybe 3, sets of attacks on Thalnok. The sword will vanish after Thalnok has stood up twice.

Book of Sadness Entry[edit]

This is our message to the things that we will kill.

A species which believes that a good existence can be invented through games of civilization and through laws of conduct is doomed by that belief. They will die in terror. The lawless and the ruthless will drag them down to die. The universe will erase their monuments.

But the one that sets out to understand the one true law and to perform worship of that law will by that decision gain control over their future. They will gain hope of ascendance and by their ruthlessness they will assist the universe in arriving at its perfect shape.

Only by eradicating from ourselves all clemency for the weak can we emulate and become that which endures forever. This is inevitable. The universe offers only one choice and it is between ruthlessness and extinction.

We stand against the fatal lie that a world built on laws of conduct may ever resist the action of the truly free. This is the slavery of the Traveler, the crime of creation, in which labor is wasted on the construction of false shapes.

If you choose to fight us, fight us with everything you have, with all your laws and games. We will prove our argument thus.
