Once you've aligned the beacon, Taken Blights will spawn all over the area. You'll need to align the second beacon in this mission to unlock the next Ascendant Mystery, so head toward it in the Ruins area. Once you're done, open the chest that appears in front of the statue where you left the orb to complete the Ascendant Mystery. Fast-firing guns that are good for clearing small enemies, such as SMGs, are great here, but if you've got Ager's Scepter, it's even more effective at cleaning up the Taken. That'll trigger a fight a Taken boss this is a close-quarters location, so keep your wits about you.
Bring the orb down to the Crypt hidden beneath the Mausoleum, then get ready for a fight with a Taken boss.Įither way you get there, take the orb to the marked statue in the Crypt and dunk it. Drop down the hole and you'll get a shortcut to the Crypt, your final destination. With the beacon behind you, check the left wall for a small hole, blocked by a rock you can destroy with Ager's Scepter (it's in the same place as the entrance to the Lost Sector here in Trostland). If you already have Ager's Scepter, there's actually a quicker way. You can follow the glowing white ball here-that's Toland, for the uninitiated-and he'll lead you straight to the mausoleum and make your path clear. Grab the orb and re-up your Truesight to return to the main island. You've seen this building it's the small one that you pass on your way to the church. Climb out to the island behind the church with the statue on it to find the orb (plus a Trivial Mystery).Ĭlear the Taken and Mara will call you on the radio, asking you to return an orb you'll find there to its rightful place in a crypt beneath the mausoleum. Jump down to get on them and follow the path out to the statue. Down below you, Truesight will reveal a set of platforms leading out to the island. You'll see another island a little distance away with a big statue and some Taken on it.
Instead, look off the back of this balcony, off the side of the island, into the abyss. There's another Truesight marker here that you can use to ascend to the bell tower above you for an Enigmatic Mystery.
Be careful not to fall through the floor here. Follow them and jump on, then head to the back of the church and drop down to where another marker is waiting. You should see platforms appear that will lead up toward the church's roof. Activate the two markers near the statues in front of the church and then turn around and face the building. Look for a marker for Truesight and one for Safe Passage, as you'll need both. Complete the beacon alignment first, then head out of the front of the church. The first Ascendant Mystery is right near the first beacon you need to align, hidden inside the church. Check out our Ager's Scepter guide for everything you need to know to snag it. This week also saw the addition of the new Exotic trace rifle, Ager's Scepter, to Destiny 2.
Here's where you can find both Ascendant Mysteries this week and how to complete them. Finding them can be tough, and you'll want to be prepared for a fight when you finally uncover them.
The Forest of Echoes, modeled after the EDZ's Trostland location, has two such Ascendant Mysteries hidden in it. While Trivial Mysteries are the simplest puzzles to solve in the Shattered Realm missions, and Enigmatic Mysteries take a little more effort, Ascendant Mysteries are full-on special objectives you'll have to uncover. The Shattered Realm in Destiny 2's Season of the Lost includes a bunch of hidden secrets, and this week saw the introduction of some new ones: Ascendant Mysteries.
