Unlocking Amanda Holiday‘s Coolest Ship: A Complete Guide to the Brazen Spark

Listen up, fellow Guardian. If you‘ve been looking to step up your Destiny 2 cosmetics game and score some serious style points, then I‘ve got the perfect challenge for you—unlocking Amanda Holliday‘s most coveted exotic ship, the blazing Brazen Spark.

Trust me, I know the grind for this bad boy can seem downright punishing at times. But the sweet payoff is so worth it. Equipping this ultra-rare ship will let everyone know you‘ve mastered an obscure quest that‘s stumped many Seasoned players.

So join me on this journey to add the Brazen Spark to your collection. I‘ll be with you every step of the way, from starting the quest to grabbing those sneakily hidden keys, and finally claiming the majestic ship as your prize.

Buckle up—we‘re about to take Amanda Holiday‘s wild ride together!

So You Want to Unlock the Brazen Spark?

First off, congrats on taking the road less traveled. I promise it‘ll be worth it. Before we dive in, let me catch you up on exactly what we‘re dealing with here.

The exotic ship known as the Brazen Spark can only be obtained by completing an unmarked, secret quest from Amanda Holliday in the Tower. This lengthy quest will take you scouring the Tower for hidden keys that ultimately unlock Amanda‘s gift—the Brazen Spark itself.

But why even bother with this arduous quest chain? Well, my friend, that‘s an easy one:

  • The Brazen Spark has a unique, fiery design that really stands out. Its twin thrusters give it serious speedster vibes.

  • It‘s an Exotic-tier ship, making it extremely rare and valuable. Expect jealousy and FOMO.

  • You‘ll unlock a special perk called "Solisco Effect" which generates bonus Glimmer during aerial stunts. Get paid while you fly!

  • Flexing this ship proves you‘ve completed an obscure, difficult quest that most casual players don‘t even know about. Instant credibility boost.

So in summary, you want the Brazen Spark because it looks awesome, will create ship envy amongst other Guardians, actually grants a practical bonus, and telegraphs that you have serious Destiny cred.

Let‘s get you on the path to unlocking this absolute gem. The next stop on our journey: meeting Amanda Holliday herself.

Amanda Holliday – Shipwright, Pilot, Quest Giver

Our mission starts with Amanda Holliday, the Tower‘s resident shipwright and all-around awesome lady. Before we dive into the quest itself, let me catch you up on exactly who Amanda is and why she‘s the perfect NPC to unlock this special ship from.

Amanda Holliday oversees all things flight for Guardians – ships, Sparrows, and anything spaceworthy. She maintains our fleet, runs shipyard operations, and keeps us soaring through the skies both in and out of combat.

A gifted pilot herself, Amanda stood her ground during the brutal Red War campaign, dogfighting Cabal ships and evacs despite lacking any Guardian powers. Her skills and grit are second to none.

Beyond keeping us airborne, Amanda also serves as the main coordinator for the competitive annual Sparrow Racing League event. She even enjoys racing and pulling aerial stunts in her own custom Sparrow dubbed "Aurora Blur".

With her mechanical expertise, piloting skills, and love of flight, Amanda Holliday fits the Brazen Spark‘s speedy style perfectly. Visiting her social space is the logical first step to kicking off this rare ship‘s acquisition quest.

Now that you know Amanda‘s vital role for Guardians, let‘s officially get this party started, shall we?

Starting the Quest for Brazen Spark Glory

Alright, time for action. We‘re going on a key hunt across the entire Tower hub. But first things first – we need to actually grab the quest from Holliday. Here‘s how to pick up this oh-so-secret assignment:

  1. Visit Commander Zavala in the Tower Courtyard and check his inventory for potential quest starters.

  2. Select the "Make Bow Before No One" quest from Zavala‘s inventory. This kicks off the rare ship pursuit by instructing you to visit Amanda.

  3. Head to the Tower‘s Hangar zone and interact with Shipwright Amanda Holliday to progress the quest. After some quick dialogue, we can move forward.

  4. Open your quest log and inspect the next step, which requires you to find 5 hidden keys scattered around the Tower to unlock a gift from Amanda.

And so the great key hunt begins! With the quest initiated, we now turn our focus to locating all of these well-concealed keys. Time to transform into Ace Detective Spider-Man and start sleuthing.

Key Number Location
1 On the bookshelf behind Dead Orbit Rep in the Hangar
2 Bench near the soccer ball in the Tower Courtyard
3 Inside the planter box by the North Elevator
4 Under the right Hangar staircase on a corner platform
5 Left pillars underneath Lord Shaxx‘s platform

Tracking Down Amanda‘s Hidden Keys

This next step of the Brazen Spark quest will take some perseverance and eagle eyes. We need to track down 5 keys scattered around the Tower‘s nooks and crannies.

I advise equipping a Hunter or Titan for this search. Their improved jumping abilities make grabbing awkwardly-placed keys much easier compared to the Warlock‘s floaty glide.

Bring your most observant senses! These keys can be sneaky, but each one found gets us closer to Amanda‘s gift. Here are the exact locations to recover all 5:

Key #1 Location

Our first key is located in the Hangar zone, close to where we picked up the quest from Amanda. Head into the Hangar and approach the Dead Orbit faction representative.

Look on the tall bookshelf directly behind them and you‘ll spot a bright red key nestled between some books. Interact with it to grab Key #1.

Key #2 Location

For the next key, we‘ll be heading up into the Tower Courtyard. Go up the stairs from the Hangar and hang a left once you reach the Courtyard.

Near the soccer/footbag, you‘ll find a small bench. Check underneath the bench to retrieve Key #2. Don‘t get too distracted kicking that ball into the City!

Key #3 Location

Jump on your Sparrow and zoom over to the Tower North elevator. Ride it up and start scanning the area. Your next key can be found inside a planter box in the far back corner.

Jump across the balcony carefully and recover Key #3 from its nature-y hiding spot. That‘s the halfway point – only two keys left!

Key #4 Location

Return back down to the Hangar for Key #4. Look at the set of stairs you took to reach the Courtyard earlier. Move under them and hug the right side.

Tucked in the corner underneath the staircase is a platform. Hop on it to find Key #4. You‘ve almost got all the keys at this point – so close!

Key #5 Location

Last but not least, head back up to the Courtyard. Make your way to Lord Shaxx‘s area and look for the red pillars underneath his platform on the left side.

Wind your way between the pillars and keep an eye out near the wall. Nestled discreetly in this area is the final Key #5. Grab it and mission accomplished!

With all 5 keys in hand, it‘s time to take them to Amanda so we can claim our hard-earned reward.

Turning in the Keys to Unlock Brazen Spark

You did it, Guardian! With all of Amanda‘s hidden keys recovered, return to the Hangar and interact with her once more. She‘ll express her gratitude and offer you an exotic ship gift.

Open the gift in your inventory screen and you‘ll officially obtain the Brazen Spark for your collection. Equip it right away so you can show off your sweet new ride.

Take a moment to soak it all in. With this gnarly grind of a quest complete, you‘ve earned the right to fly one of Destiny‘s rarest and most coveted ships.

I can practically hear the "oohs" and "ahhs" from jealous onlookers already. Don‘t be shy – take your flashy new threads on a victory lap around the Tower. You‘ve earned it, champ!

Before you fly off into the sunset, let me offer some final tips for making the most of your exotic new toy.

Tips for Soaring in Style with Brazen Spark

  • Take it into PvP matches to intimidate opponents right from the loading screen.

  • Perform midair rolls and flips during Strikes to maximize Glimmer gains from its unique Solisco Effect perk.

  • Capture some awesome screenshots posing with the ship for serious Destiny clout online.

  • Set it as your active ship whenever showing off new activities or gear to really highlight your flex.

  • If you ever need motvation to grind, equipping this hard-earned ship is a great reminder of your commitment and skill.

So get out there and tear through the skies, you magnificent pilot! With the Brazen Spark in your hands, the cosmos is your playground. Wear Amanda‘s gift with pride.

Fly safe, Guardian. And seriously, take me along for a ride in that thing sometime!
