The weekly reset in Destiny 2 has taken place. For this week, we aren`t seeing the introduction of a bunch of new content, but the missions offered by Petra in the Dreaming City have restarted once again. We`re back to the start of a three-week cycle as the Awoken continue to battle the curse--something Petra acknowledges in her dialogue when you first speak with her. She also has the typical bounty for the Ascendant Challenge, which is a return to the challenge first seen in Week 5 of this season. Here`s what you need to do and where to go to find the portal that can net you some Powerful gear.Like in past weeks, the Ascendant Challenge involves using a specific item (a Tincture of Queensfoil) to receive the Ascendance buff. This allows you to see a Taken portal that sends you to the Ascendant Plane to do a mission of sorts. But the portal`s location and your objective has been different each week, and that`s true for Week 5. Before starting, though, be sure to grab the corresponding bounty from Petra, as that`s the key to earning a piece of Powerful gear.This week`s portal is found inside a Lost Sector (Bay of Drowned Wishes) located right near Dreaming City`s landing zone in Divalian Mists. You`ll move to the midway point of the Lost Sector, killing things until a little before you reach a door that`s locked. (You can skip the enemies, but killing them will likely be easier.) If you`ve used your Tincture of Queensfoil, you`ll see the portal and can jump through to reach the Ascendant Plane location, Agonarch Abyss.Unfortunately, there`s a good deal of platforming involved here. You`ll make your way down to a temple where a large tree is. Blight balls spawn in that slow your movement, and you`ll have to deal with a pair of wizards who spawn in additional Thrall enemies. Take out the wizards and you`re all done. You can see this all in our video guide.The chest that you can then open is, as always, nothing special. But finishing the Ascendant Challenge complete ...
