Ascendant Challenge This Week (May 2023) Location – Destiny 2

Last Updated on April 30, 2023

Ascendant Challenges are something not every new light player might be aware of. For new players, this will be confusing; the location rotates every week and changes with the level of the curse. In this article, we’ll find out what the Ascendant Challenge Location this week is and how to complete it quickly.

The curse affecting the dreaming city varies and switches from weak to medium and strong. Players can identify the curse level using the visuals as they spawn into Dreaming City. You can also use Petra Venj’s location to find out the curse level is; The Strand for Weak Curse, Divilian Mists for Medium Curse, and Rehasilvia for Strong Curse.

Remember that you must pop a Tincture of Queensfoil to make the ascendant portal appear in the location. The tincture only works for a session, has a 30-minute duration, and will run out if you switch maps.

Ascendant Challenge Location

Use the table above to find the updated location for this week.


Petra Venj Location

The curse strength is Strong; Petra can be located in Rehasilvia.

Ascendant Challenges are great for farming dreaming city-exclusive weapons such as Retold Tale. Also, for farming exotics, I had a high chance of getting exotics from the Ascendant chests. This might be good RNG, but this has happened many times.


Note: You have to pick up the week’s challenge from Petra; once you have it, consume the Tincture Queensfoil. After that, head to the location mentioned in the article, and there will be a black ball that you can head inside. Complete the challenge accordingly and collect your weekly reward. You can complete the challenge on all three characters.

Earlier, Dreaming City used to be the best way of farming powerful gear. But this season’s introduction of Pinnacle Gear has made everything weird; people do not like the grind since it only rewards hardcore players.
