How to get Taken Butter in Destiny 2’s The Dawning event

To the Dreaming City you go.

The Dawning in Destiny 2 is a chance for players to escape from the usual looting and shooting—or use that looting and shooting to bake cookies for their favorite NPCs. Taking down foes grants ingredients depending on what enemies you faced and how you defeated them.

Players can use those ingredients, sprinkle in some Dawning Essence, and take them to Eva’s oven to bake goodies. Delivering them to specific NPCs will award players with gifts, which can be focused on specific rewards or opened to get more seasonal items.

All recipes require ingredients based on one of the enemy races, so you’ll need to know exactly where to look if you want to stock up on any resources. Here are the best places to look if you’re after Taken Butter.

How to find Taken Butter in Destiny 2‘s Dawning event

Taken Butter drops from getting final blows against Taken enemies. This means areas with large numbers of Taken enemies will be your best bet for stocking up on Taken Butter quickly.

The Thrallway in Shattered Throne dungeon is arguably the best place to farm it due to the sheer volume of enemies, but the Shuro Chi checkpoint in the Last Wish raid can be a solid alternative, especially since it doesn’t require you to run through Shattered Throne. Any area with Taken enemies will suffice, though, including the Blind Well and two of the Dreaming City Lost Sectors: Chamber of Starlight in Rheasilvia and Aphelion’s Rest in The Strand.

If you’re around the EDZ for some public event farming, too, you can always head to the Cavern of Souls in the Sludge and score some Taken kills as you wait for the next public event to drop.

All Dawning recipes with Taken Butter in Destiny 2

Three Dawning recipes use Taken Butter for consistency:

  • Strange Cookies (Xûr): Taken Butter, Electric Flavor.
  • Classic Butter Cookies (Eva Levante): Taken Butter, Superb Texture.
  • Dark Chocolate Motes (The Drifter): Taken Butter, Null Taste.

If you’re looking to gift some baked goodies to Xûr, you’ll need to pair Taken Butter with Electric Flavor, which drops from kills with Arc damage. The Drifter’s Dark Chocolate Motes mix Taken Butter with Null Taste, available from kills with Void damage. Eva Levante’s Classic Butter Cookies require you to kill enemies with Supers to get the Superb Texture,
