Destiny 2 Ascendant Challenge this week (February 4 to 11): Location, guide, and more

Destiny 2 Ascendant Challenges are some of the oldest open-world activities present in the game. Dreaming City is the home to many such mysteries that can be found for triumphs and seals, all of which have been intact since Year 2. Ascendant Challenges usually rotate weekly, with six different layouts each time in different corners of the open world.

This article will guide you through the Ascendant Challenge in The Final Shape year. Once you are done with the pre-requisite steps, you will be notified with the objective "Complete an Ascendant Challenge."

Since most of the core contents of Forsaken were removed with The Witch Queen, newer players might be unfamiliar with these challenges.

What is an Ascendant Challenge in Destiny 2?

Ascendant Challenges are mini-Dungeons that can be found in the open world of Dreaming City every week. The activity takes place within the Ascendant Plane, hence the name.

Players need to find the entrance to these mini-Dungeons every week in a random location of Dreaming City.

This week (February 4, 2025), you can find the entrance within the Chamber of Starlight Lost Sector in Dreaming City. In exchange for Glimmer, you must consume a special item called "Tincture of Queensfoil", obtainable from Dreaming City vendor, Petra Venj.

As mentioned, the Ascendant Challenge for this week of Episode Revenant can be found within the Chamber of Starlight Lost Sector of Dreaming City. The name of the challenge is "Cimmerian Garrison." Players can spawn on the Divalian Mists waypoint, immediately start heading left, and reach Rheasilvia through the cave.

Upon entering the Chamber of Starlight, keep heading straight for the open area with the boss and two Taken Snipers at the top. You can either eliminate, or ignore all of them, and take the portal located at the top.

Jump on the portal to start the challenge.

Ascendant Challenge guide for Destiny 2

Cimmerian Garrison works like a pathway gauntlet, where you must run from Hive Knight bosses, follow a singular path, avoid enemies, and reach a platform. Upon spawning, just keep heading straight, and try to dodge the enemy's attacks. Once you see four Taken Phalanx on a platform, you will know that you are on the correct path.

Next, just keep following the stairs, and evidently, you will encounter multiple floating platforms that are also rotating. Step carefully on these platforms, and head to the final platform. Defeat the Knights and the final boss to complete the challenge.
