To open the coveted Solstice Packages and obtain the loot within, Destiny 2 players will need to obtain Solstice Key Fragments. These items can be farmed from a few locations, though some are vastly more efficient and can cut down on a lot of farming time so that one can get back to opening Solstice Packages and donning new gear.

One spot, in particular, offers a great yield of Solstice Key Fragments every 5 to 10 minutes, depending on a player's capabilities. Those looking for the best farming spot for these keys should be sure to check it out for great gains.
Expunge: Tartarus is the best quest for farming Solstice Key Fragments quickly and efficiently. While there may be other quests that give larger quantities of fragments, this one can be done fast and repeatedly in under 10 minutes for those above its Recommended Power of 1300.
Whether one plays on Normal or Corrupt does not seem to affect how many fragments drop at the end of the quest, so feel free to play however is most enjoyable. It's also possible to bring friends along on this one, which can speed things up as well as cut down on the possible tedium of farming.

Gamers can expect 12 Solstice Fragment Keys to drop each time that they take down the boss, Dimio, Oppressive Mind. Each run should also take most players above the Recommended Power 5 to 10 minutes, with many even claiming to have a clear time of between 3 to 4 minutes.
Thankfully, Dimio, Oppressive Mind is found in the same spot on every run, and players can even use the area's terrain to their advantage to reach the boss' hiding spot with tons of skips and jumps that are made possible by the plentiful floating blocks. The first run will be the most challenging, but try to remember the route to the robotic foe so that subsequent runs are easier.
Dimio, Oppressive Mind possesses 3 innate energy shields that slowly rotate around them in a horizontal manner. There are 3 noticeable gaps between these translucent protective walls that players should use as literal windows to lay into Dimio with their preferred guns, grenades, and powers.
It should also be noted that the Oppressive Mind is not protected at all from below or above, meaning that players with the extremely low or high ground can assault the boss a lot more effectively. Furthermore, well-aimed grenade lobes and powers that arc can be taken advantage of to severely damage the metallic adversary in a way that makes its energy shields trivial.
