Objective

The challenge is a short one. Most of it consists of a series of jumps going downward on cliffs, plates and floating rocks that get slightly trickier the further you go down. Once you descend to the bottom you will reach an "arena" where you must fight 2 taken wizard bosses and some shadow thrall while being surrounded by some taken blights. All you have to do is kill the two wizards and the challenge automatically completes.

Corrupted Egg #1

From the initial spawn point of the challenge you're going to go the standard path and jump to the SECOND platform in front of you. To clarify this will be a "circle plate" from there turn right and look up at the mountain you just jumped from. The egg will be in plain sight.

Ahamkara Bone

Continuing from where you just got the 1st egg, keep heading down the normal path of rocks until you reach the 'broken bridge" platform. If it's not obvious to you, see the vid for detail. When you're on there, head upward (instead of down like the challenge wants) look out for a tree to the right of you, the ahamkara bone will be behind this tree.

Corrupted Egg #2

From where you jut got the ahamkara bone on the broken bridge platform start heading downward again like the challenge wants BUT DO NOT JUMP OFF FROM THE BRIDGE. instead stand by the edge and just look down. The 2nd corrupted egg will be on top of the head of the giant statue that you can jump down to. Just shoot the egg and move on.

Corrupted Egg #3

The final egg in the challenge is located all the way at the bottom on top of the arena where you fight the wizards. As you get closer to the end the egg will become pretty visible to you. It's quite literally on top of the arena and just there for you to shoot. Get good positioning on one of the floating rocks and snipe the egg and you are done with the collectibles in this challenge.

Objective

The main objective of this one survival through a series of "traps" while trying to reach the end goal. You'll be greeted by 3 abyssmal knights as you spawn in, you don't HAVE to kill them but if you have a purification bounty for them than you're free to shoot them down. Note that if you do kill them, they'll still respawn to chase you down later in this challenge.

As you try to progress you'll be running into hobgoblin snipers , shriekers, phlaanx's, more knights as mentioned as well as traps on the floors like those taken pools that try to knock you off the map.

There's two ways you can go about this. If you are high enough light and have balls of steel you can try to run past everything and try to make it to the end location by some timed parkour and dodging hits or you can take the safe strategy and pick off things like snipers and shriekers with long range weapons while being on top of structures where things like knights can't stabt you in the back while you're taking down snipers.

Once you do reach the end, the fight comes down to you vs 1 Abyssmal champion. The trick here is that there are "watcher shriekers" above you as this is going on. They DO NOT attack you if you are on the ground however, if you try to use air to your advantage or siit on top of a rock/tree they will start attacking you. Note that killing the shirkers only works temporarily as they will respawn after a few seconds so it's really not worth wasting your ammo on. Kill the knight and you havce completed the challenge.

Ahamkara Bone

As you're progressing in the challengee, at one point you will run into 3 abyssmal knights spawning IN FRONT OF YOU WITHOUT THEIR HELMETS. You're going to go past them and then take a LEFT (the right would be a staircase) keep walking to the left until you reach an edge and the ahamkara bone will be there for you to collect

Corrupted Egg #1

The first of three eggs is located right at the beginning of the Ascendant Challenge. Walk slightly forward from where you spawn so that you can look downward into the distance on the bridge, the egg will be on the right hand side in plain sight.

Corrupted Egg #2

Again this one is near the beginning of the challenge, from the same bridge where you shot egg #1 keep walking forward. After a shot distance you will see two circular shaped plates that are a bit tilted that you are able to jump on. Go BEHIND the second plate and then look into the distance of where the exit of the Ascendant challenge portal will be. The egg is on the back of that cliff under the portal. You are able to see it very clearly from this location.

Corrupted Egg #3

The final egg is pretty much on the nose. Almost impossible to miss but just in case, As you are climbing the spiral staircase towards the end of the challenge (this is where most of the taken boop pools and sucha are trying to knock you off) at the top of the spiral staircase, just look in the center of it. The egg will be there in the air to shoot down. Super hard to miss.

Objective

The objective of the challenge is to dunk all charges into the whirlpool in the center of the arena in order to trigger unlimited super recharge for you and your fireteam. At that point your last objective becomes to kill all ascendant knights. Once you do, the challenge is complete and the loot is yours.

Ahamkara Bone

From the center of the room (looking at the exit portal) go behind the portal and you should be at a fork in the road, take the left path and keep going forward until you see a floating platform on your left at the side of the bridge you're standing on. jump on that, then looking down at the bottom of the center of the room, you'll see a glow (the ahamkara bone) and a place to land on for it.

Corrupted Egg #1

Looking directly at the exit portal, go behind the portal and you should arrive at a fork in the road, take the left path, turn around so you are now facing the portal, look downward to the bottom center of the map the egg will be to your right.

Corrupted Egg #2

Facing the exit portal, turn around and walk forward for about 5 seconds, look back at the portal and this time look downward to the bottom center of the map, the egg will be sticking out to the left.

Objective

Once inside you'll see Toland, the speck of light. Follow him over some platforms to an arena where some knights are hanging out, conveniently immune to all damage. Wipe the taken in the area and grab the relic, which is the sword you'll be using to take them down. Do your thing and take out the knights, after which Toland will beckon you to do some more platforming. The relic is necessary here, too: swinging it mid-air will give you a forward dash effect, which you can use to complete this portion of the challenge. Once you're at the end, the chest will spawn.

Ahamkara Bone

From the center of the room (looking at the exit portal) go behind the portal and you should be at a fork in the road, take the left path and keep going forward until you see a floating platform on your left at the side of the bridge you're standing on. jump on that, then looking down at the bottom of the center of the room, you'll see a glow (the ahamkara bone) and a place to land on for it.

Corrupted Egg #1

Starting from the main ritual site, when facing the center of the arena (you should be seeing platforms to your left and right while looking straight at the center) you're going to head straight to the circular pillar...hut? area (at this point you'll be by the edge of the center arena).

If you look off into the distance and slightly to the left of where you are standing you will see a small glow in the shadows, this is the egg. It's a very, VERY tough shot so don't get frustrated if you don't get it right away,. A tip i would offer is getting on the ROOF of said circular hut To do this you have to basically parkour off of the edge of those platforms that i mentioned earlier in the center of the room. Titans with lion rampants and hunters with stompees should have no problem. Warlocks, you're probably going to need burst glide with the sword to maneuver up there.

Corrupted Egg #2

(NOTE) there will be debris that can hit you mid-air and kill you while trying to go for this one. I would highly recommend using the hive sword for this one.

Once again, starting from the center of the room and looking with platforms to your left and right, you're going to head to the right circular hut this time. Jump to the platform in the distance to your left keep going and jump to the next platform as this first one disappears very quickly but the second one does not.

Once you're at platform #2, you will be jumping to the next one to your right. Again, this one disappears quickly so keep moving forward and jump to the circle plate ahead of you, this does not disappear.

Once you are at this circle plate, turn to your right, the mountain will be in the distance and you must jump to it (this is where the hive sword comes in handy with gliding).

If you are having trouble seeing the mountain, don't worry that's normal. Occasionally lighting strikes and reveals the mountain to you

Objective

The objective for this week's challenge is to destroy the 4 blights that are around the arena to "break the seal" on the crystals in the center that are making them immune. The more blights you blow up the more knights will appear and become aggressively faster. If you try to kill the knights before taking out blights they will regain health (but you can kill them once the blights are down if you have a purification bounty for that).

Once you take the 4 blights down you must destroy every crystal in the center of the arena. You don't need to rush things so just take them out one at a time from a distance or form on top of a platform or tree. Additionally you can also use AoE supers to take them out such as blade barrage, hammers, chaso reach and so on.

Once you destroy every crystal you complete the challenge.

Corrupted Egg #1

When facing the awoken statue (With the exit portal being behind it) head directly to your left until you get to a circle platform. Once there take a slight right at the end of the circle plate. You will reach a small "bridge" from there look in the distance and to your right should be the corrupted egg.

Ahamkara Bone

From the bridge that you just shot Corrupted Egg #1 from, you're going to jump on top of the ledge that is right next to it (to the right) head to the edge of that ledge and hop on top of the pillar that is there. Then from that pillar turn around and jump "inside" the roof of said ledge. Crawl inside, get to the other end and then jump on top of the roof. From on top of the roof you will see two awoken statues next to each other. Jump on the left statue then jump on the next statue directly infront of the one you just jumped onto. The Ahamkara bone will be on this statue.

Corrupted Egg #2

This time, while look at the same awoke nstatue you will be taking a right (about 4 o'clock) you will reach a pathway that gives you a left or right option. Keep going right and when you're halfway on that right path, the egg will be visible in the distance "under" the pathway. Easy to spot, refer to the vid if you're having issues.

Corrupted Egg #3

From the exact location where you got Corrupted Egg #2 look off in the distance to your LEFT and there will be another pathway you can jump to. Walk straight on that path for a few second and you will arrive to the 3rd egg being right in front of you.

Objective

The challenge is a one big platforming jumping puzzle. You have to jump on a series of platforms while climbing the "tower" While climbing you will have one of two variants of traps. Either taken bumpers that will well....bump you or taken bombs that will damage you if you are in the AoE. Both version will also have taken snipers trying to take you down as you get closer to the top of the "tower" Once at the top you will have a boss fight with a taken cabal phalanx. The boss isn't very strong however he has a ton of shadow thrall with him to annoy you. Using an offensive super like hammers, blade barrage, arcstrider, stromcaller etc can effectively end the fight quickly but power weapons like sleeper, whisper or 1k voices can down him with ease too.

Ahamkara Bone

From the start of the challenge, start climbing the right side platforms, as you progress you will notice there are two statues you can see and even jump on. The ahamkara bone is located on the wrist of the SECOND statue towards the back of the room

Corrupted Egg #1

As you ascend to the top, right before jumping through the "ring" to get to the top to fight the boss, look towards the back of the room and to the right, the corrupted egg should be in plain sight for you to shoot

Corrupted Egg #2

The second egg is directly above the final boss room. Look straight up at the ceiling and the egg will be at the very top.

Guide

This boss is a giant Ogre and will spawn with an invulnerable shield. The only way to hurt this shield is to find the yellow health hive enemies that spawn on one of the plates around the room. Kill the hive, and some purple balls will spawn on the plate. These balls function exactly as they do in The Corrupted strike: you grab one, pass it to someone who's looking at you, and they throw it at the boss. Passing the ball isn't absolutely necessary but should be done as it causes massive damage to the boss. Once the ball hits the boss, his shield will drop allowing you to DPS him.

Guide

This boss is a giant Taken Servitor, otherwise dubbed "meatball". He functions pretty much exactly as the boss in the campaign or Gambit does. Occasionally he will go immune, just go and find the taken blight thing that's protecting him, kill it, and continue beating him up.

Guide

The most annoying of the three Blind Well bosses, this is actually a set of two Scorn Chieftains who spawn immune to all damage. The only way to bring their shields down is to kill the Screebs that they spawn when they are next to the boss. Their explosion will bring the boss' shield down, allowing you to DPS. Watch out for their purple totems that make everything immune as it can slow things down.
