Deepsight is a new mechanic--akin to Season of the Lost's Truesight--that lets Guardians seek out secrets of Savathun's queendom, and it's a core part of Destiny 2: The Witch Queen's adventure. They're the black, smoky auras with a bright center that you can activate to reveal things that are hidden. Guardians get access to Deepsight Tier 1 in The Witch Queen campaign--which lets you see through walls, follow footsteps, see runes, and reveal platforms to reach places you normally couldn't.
These are scattered everywhere, and you've probably stumbled upon Deepsight locations that ask for Deepsight Tier 2 and Tier 3--but the story doesn't progress your Deepsight Tier rank, our Hive Ghost friend Fynch does. You can unlock additional Tiers by leveling up with Fynch; players get Deepsight Tier 2 at Rank 11 and Deepsight Tier 3 at Rank 13.

Deepsight Tier 2 and Tier 3 push for further exploration of Savathun's Throne World--beyond what The Witch Queen campaign offers--where players can find chests and other secrets. One of the main uses for Deepsight is to find timed Deepsight chests--you can check your Throne World triumphs to keep count--these timed chests are puzzles that use jumping, lighting torches, or runic mechanics to open chests while Deepsight is active.
Leveling up Fynch may seem overwhelming, but you have many ways of ranking up and figuring out the best method for your playstyle. We have a few different ways to climb up the Throne World Ranks and how much you earn from completing various activities and collecting items.
There's a Deepsight Tier 3 location on the bridge right when you enter the Alluring Curtain from the Quagmire area and another Deepsight point when you jump down from the tall pillars onto the platform near there. If you're able to, you can grab the first chest above the bridge and float over to the location of the second one within the Deepsight time limit. Collecting both chests gives a total of 400 points, players can then leave the region and re-enter to rinse and repeat.
The two Deepsight Tier 3 locations in Alluring Curtain used for farming Throne World Rank pointsYou can also head down to Witch's Echo, near the back of the Miasma region, which has a chest in the round hall after the tunnel. After grabbing that chest, enter the nearby portal to grab the next chest right beside you by completing the torch lighting puzzle. Run back out of the portal and re-enter the Witch's Echo to repeat the steps.
Queen's Bailey, which is right above Fluorescent Canal, has three Deepsight Tier 3 locations that give 200 points per secret chest, as well. There are two chests outside and one inside the building. Just like the others, you can exit the area to refresh Queen's Bailey and do it all over again--you can't summon a sparrow here so run back to Fluorescent Canal as fast as you can. This farm lets you grab three chests which give a total of 600 rank points, whereas the other two methods give 400 in a single run.
Even if farming for chests isn't your thing, doing a few helps progress through the ranks, and you can always go back to doing other activities.
Throne World patrols, defeating a Lightbearer Hive enemy, incomplete public events, doing regular Lost Sectors, defeating high-value targets, and completing bounties from Fynch don't give too many points, but these objectives can be done in conjunction with other activities when roaming around the Throne World. For example, Fynch's quest called Trust Goes Both Ways asks Guardians to find regional chests, and while working on that, players should grab patrols and join public events--it's like killing two Hive worms with one stone, lessen the grind by doing the most with your time.
If you've completed The Witch Queen campaign and need something else to do beyond ranking up with Fynch, you can catch up on weekly seasonal challenges and activities for Season of the Lost, work towards the Dead Messenger Exotic grenade launcher, or prepare for the upcoming Vow of the Disciple raid on March 5.
