Fortunately, obtaining the Seasonal Artifact isn't too much of a hassle. When Guardians log into Destiny 2 for the first time during Season 18, they'll be instantly placed on a mission where the Drifter requires some assistance.

The Skeleton Key is a sophisticated piece of Eliksni tech that was created just prior to the Whirlwind. It is infamous for its ability to open many different kinds of locks.
