Before anything else, you need to know which planet you are heading to. Excavation Site XII is on Earth, specifically in the European Dead Zone. It is rare that an EDZ Lost Sector comes up or is ever relevant in today’s Destiny 2. 

You can use one of two drop zones to get to Excavation Site XII quickly. Either drop in at the Winding Cove, or up beside The Gulch. Regardless of which you choose, you then need to head west toward Firebase Hades.

How do you complete the Lost Sector?

Opposite the firebase is a hill, and if you look on the map you will see there are two Lost Sectors there. Of the two, you want the Lost Sector that is furthest to the north. You will see the two Lost Sector symbols in these hills, you want to head towards the one that is much higher up.

The entrance to Excavation Site XII is right beside that symbol, just head in through the cave to enter the Lost Sector. Once inside, just make your way through the cave to find the enemies within and complete the Lost Sector.

That is everything you should need to find the Destiny 2 Excavation Site location. For more on the game, check out our Destiny 2 Lost Sectors guide.
