The Ascendant Challenges in Destiny 2 are among the various moving parts related to the Dreaming City's intricate curse, which shrouds the area in a three-week time loop.
Destiny 2 – Ascendant Challenge Location & Guide – May 21, 2024
The curse ranges from weak to strong to most powerful, and each cycle brings a ton of treasure to hunt for—if you’re brave enough to venture into the Ascendant Plane in search of riches. Destiny 2 has six Ascendant Challenges that rotate each week. They’re a sure source of Dreaming City gear, including re-releases of Waking Vigil, Tigerspite, and Twilight Oath.
Completing an Ascendant Challenge will reward you with a piece of Legendary gear, but you can get an additional drop if you have Petra Venj's weekly bounty. These weekly objectives are also a prime target for stacking bounties, as you can have up to six weekly objectives in total, one for each Ascendant Challenge.
Ascendant Challenges award one piece of gear each week, plus one of Petra's bounties. Those objectives are character-based, meaning you can get six pieces of Dreaming City gear from Ascendant Challenges alone.
