Destiny 2: Ascendant Challenge Guide This Week

Guardians across the solar system eagerly await the weekly reset in Destiny 2 to see what new challenges and rewards await them. Among these, the Ascendant Challenge stands out as a test of skill, platforming prowess, and strategic combat. This week's challenge transports players to a specific location within the Dreaming City, a mysterious and constantly shifting realm.

For those unfamiliar, the Ascendant Challenge is a weekly activity that takes place in a corrupted pocket dimension, accessible only while under the effects of a Tincture of Queensfoil. These tinctures can be found as random drops from various activities within the Dreaming City or purchased from specific vendors. Once consumed, the tincture reveals a hidden portal, typically a shimmering, translucent entrance that leads to the challenge.

Each week, the challenge rotates between six distinct locations and objectives. These can range from intricate platforming puzzles that demand precise jumps and careful navigation to intense combat encounters against hordes of Taken enemies, often culminating in a boss fight. Successfully completing the Ascendant Challenge rewards players with powerful gear, Dreaming City lore, and a significant boost to their weekly progress. This week's particular challenge is considered one of the more manageable ones, focusing more on environmental navigation rather than overwhelming enemy waves, providing a welcome respite for Guardians looking for a less stressful completion.
