You get the quest randomly when turning in bounties to Shiro at Felwinter's Peak. From that the steps are:
Step 1: Echoes of Darkness: Face "The Wretched Eye" and defeat Kovik, the Devil Splicers' high priest. Doesn't matter what difficulty
Step 2: Harvest of the Lesser: Wipe out Fallen in the Plaugelands to feed the weapon's appetite. Quite a bit of splicers have to be killed.
Step 3: Feast Upon the Light: Use Void Damage to defeat Guardians in the Crucible. Private matches don't count. (No death penalty)
Step 4: Cleansed by The Light: Consume Motes of Light to Cleanse yourself and the weapon. 5 motes.
Step 5: Where it Began: Find a Skeleton Key and open the Strike Hoard at the end of "The Abomination Heist" Strike.
And thats it! Now I just gotta get the quest to drop.

Edited by PK_Haseo: 9/24/2016 8:35:25 AMFake "how to" 3 Bounties Done! an still nothing. Did The Wrethed Eyed almost 10 times...nothing.
-
I did all 4 bounties on all 3 characters and got nothing so for those who still don't have the quest don't feel bad lol
-
This is a joke. No death penalty? Thats what made it so fun and worth earning.
-
Has anyone tryed dismantling a year one thorn to get the year two thorn quest
-
So is it only the Shiro Bounties? In year 1 it was any bounties. Also in year 1 odds seemed to increase if you turned in bounties in bulk. Does it matter?
-
No death penalty? Oh man, you new players are VERY lucky! The struggle was SO REAL back then, I actually thought my eyes were going to melt from all that intense focus. I suck but I was able to get it done in a week. Now, maybe in like a day or two WITH NO DEATH PENALTIES!!!
-
I've been seeing for the most part that people who got the quest got it from shiro's bounties, but some got it from normal bounties. Anyone who can confirm they got it from a normal one? Or is it just shiro's have a higher chance?
-
I have thorn, and I had gotten the quest from the shiro bounties
-
Any bounty I heard is that true?
-
Only shirk bounties?
-
Turned in all 4 bounties, no quest yet. I picked up all ghosts and fragments. Got the raid quest though.
-
How do you turn bounties in to shiro? You just turn them in period
-
I just got your cloak!
-
How to get thorn... Step 1.Watch youtube vids of it in year 1. Step 2.Accept the fact you are trash. Step 3.Do the quest. Step 4.Bath in the salt of your enemies. Step 5.realize post nerf thorn is shit and hate yourself for wasting your time.
-
Is it any bounty or just Shiro's?
-
Is it only include shiro's bounties? I would really like to know.
-
You can't get them by turning in regular vanguard bounties can you?
-
Do I have to fight Xylar all over again?
-
It was only fitting that dredgen yor posted this

Edited by ooPs_070_: 9/23/2016 4:21:33 PMYear one instincts kick in Love the quest if that was it but probably some sort of satire
-
The patch notes said that those who show a waypoint at the tower that disappears once you get there, have the Thorn bounty. Yet I don't have any other questlines active. Anyone else ?
-
fantastic... so i just gotta wait for the quest to drop a few months down the road...
-
Edited by brian the psion: 9/22/2016 5:25:06 PMoh good that quest will sit next to my imprecation and wait for me to never complete it because I hate being forced to pvp.
