Essence Of Insanity?
I can not for the life of me find where to unlock this quest. Wanting to farm Love & Death, but can't find any info outside of the Bound Manacle you need for the quest, no idea how to unlock the quest it's self. Is it just a random drop on the moon?

They do, smartass! Most of the articles I read or videos I looked up on Youtube went over how to get the Bound part of the weapon but they already had the hunt unlocked in their menu, wasn't seeing anywhere the mention of a weekly rotation, wasn't sure if this was one of the wandering Nightmares on the moon possibly that had a strike like version after defeating maybe? Or if I had to progress through the story and post game of the moon a bit more, or just a random drop from a chest after doing a event or lost sector.

All I needed is what Shiroe told me, weekly rotation? Got it, thank you so much!

You get it from the lectern. It doesn't have anything to do with the nightmare hunts. Same as all of the other moon gear... I think Shiroe is referring to where you find the bound mannacle, which can be done during a nightmare hunt, or you can just go there outside of a nightmare hunt.

well, you need to do 1 nightmare hunt:insanity first before you can pick it from lectern.
And the mannacle is not from nightmare hunt.

Isn't that just part of the Shadowkeep main quest though? I don't think it has anything to do with weekly rotation.

I'm looking at my Lectern now. I have the full armor set, Sniper Rifle, Hand Cannon, Sword, and Auto Rifle. Unless I pick the essence up a bit more in the post possibly after the Memory Of Sai Mota quest? Otherwise, still missing a few weapons on my list I need to fish around for.

The nightmare hunts are on a weekly rotation, and you need to do the nightmares for the essences.
But you only need to do each nightmare hunt once for the essences.
Then you need to go find a boss for each of the items required, such as mannacle, chord etc, but thats also a one time mission.
Then you need to do whatever other objective it says you to do..


After all this is done, you can then pick up the essence from lectern for 1 phantasmal core and all you have to do is 1 objective only to finish it.

In this case for insanity or "love and death", get 100 kills with grenade launchers in strikes or crucible.

I think Shiroe is right, the Essence Of Insanity is tied to The Fantic Nightmare. All I didn't understand was that it was that the hunts were on a weekly rotation as I just unlocked the hunts themselves, I thought I was missing something in the more open world like the other Essence quest I had got. I don't mind waiting, but I had read it drops only from the Fantic.

I don't think any of them are tied to anything specific. They just seem to randomly drop.

the essences are not random, they are specific....
Something you would know if you did a few essences already..

You can just buy them from the lectern after the first time you get them. Something you would know if you did a few essences already...

*AFTER* the first time you get them, which is by specific things (in this case, Essence of Insanity is from Nightmare Hunt: Insanity, the name is the hunt it comes from like all of them that come from hunts). Come on...
