I just started playing this game 10 days ago so I don't know if there is a fix for this because when I Googled I just got people talking about having issues with the Cayde-6 quest.
I've been stuck on the lucent hive quest part of Timeline Reflection since Day 1 of playing. I've repeated the quest about 50 times in the last 10 days.
I even did the Witch Queen story to see if that fixed it.
It didn't.
I tried to just skip to the next story in the Timeline to see if that would progress the quest.
But the quest is still stuck in my inventory and I don't have the exotic weapon that comes with completing the entire quest despite having the legendary weapon you get for completing step 4.
I'm pretty annoyed with it.
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
There's an ongoing issue affecting Timeline Reflection, where completions of Cayde's Fate and some other quests don't advance Timeline Reflection as they should. The team is aware and already looking into this, and we apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this is causing you in the meantime.
