In Destiny 2, the Ascendant challenge of week 2 of Forsaken is live. You can find out how to complete it and where to do it here.
With the weekly reset on 11th September, the Ascendant challenge in the Dreaming City changed. Apparently, there are several of these activities that rotate weekly. The total number designed by Bungie is still unknown. Since September 11th, the second challenge is active for a week.
How do I get the Ascendant challenge? Visit Petra Venj in the Dreaming City. She has this challenge as a weekly bounty in her inventory. In the first week of Forsaken, the bounty is available and expires 7 days after you pick it up.
Ascendant challenge only with Queen’s Leaf Tincture
The requirement for the bounty: Get the bounty from Petra for 1500 Glimmer and first look for a consumable called “Queen’s Leaf Tincture”. This item opens your mind to the secrets of the Dreaming City for 30 minutes. It can be found randomly in various chests around the city.
How to get into the Ascendant Realm: While in the description of the Ascendant challenge of week 1 it mentioned a resting place, this time it mentions something about a “garden.” In the Dreaming City, there are the Gardens of Esila – that’s where you need to go.

With the active tincture, you will find a portal near the cliffs that leads you into the Ascendant world.
In the Ascendant Realm , you may now collect three or four Ark charges scattered throughout and bring them to the center of the realm. They are marked. While you collect the charges, you will be pursued by knights and many other enemies.
Once you have slammed enough charges in the center, a light source appears, which quickly recharges your super. You can use this power to eliminate the hefty knights.
Tips:
- Bring one or two friends, as this challenge is quite difficult solo. The recommended power level is 550.
- You may also choose to forgo the light source and instead find a safe spot from which to pick off the knights with a sniper.
- Watch out for the Taken Blight that slow you down. Since you should always keep moving, these can be deadly.
- Don’t forget to loot the chest after defeating the knights. Only then is the Ascendant challenge completed.
The reward: With this Ascendant challenge bounty, you will receive top loot. The reward consists of Dark Fragments and Powerful gear, with which you can acquire items beyond the soft cap of power level 500.
In this Ascendant world, there is actually a secret waiting for you to discover.
