The Ascendant Challenge is a weekly rotating activity in Destiny 2's Dreaming City. To access the portal leading to the Ascendant Challenge, players have to consume Tincture of Queensfoil. Completing Ascendant Challenges will reward players with Dreaming City loot. This guide covers everything players need to know about the Ascendant Challenge in Destiny 2, including its weekly location, how to access it, and more.

What Is The Ascendant Challenge This Week In Destiny 2

This week in Destiny 2 the Ascendant Challenge is:

• Challenge: Forfeit Shrine

Ascendant Challenge Rotation Schedule

There are a total of six Ascendant Challenges in Destiny 2, and they rotate on a weekly basis. You can see the rotation schedule for the Ascendant Challenge in The Final Shape Expansion on the table below:

How To Complete Ascendant Challenges

Players will have to consume the Tincture of Queensfoil, which will reveal the portal to the Ascendant Plane. The Tincture of Queensfoil isn't a rare resource and can be acquired easily by completing public events, patrols, or pretty much any public activity in Dreaming City. Also, the effect of Tincture of Queensfoil last only for 30 minutes, so players will have to consume it again if they fail to find the portal in the given time. 

Once players have acquired the bounty from Petra and consumed a Tincture of Queensfoil, they can use the portal in that location to reach the Ascendant Plane. The Ascendant Plane spawns Abyssal Champion enemies that soak up a lot of damage. The best way to clear the Ascendant Challenge is to keep running, instead of waiting to slay every Abyssal Champion or the Knights that spawns.

It could take anywhere between 10-15 mins to complete a single run of the Ascendant Plane. Players must loot the chest at the end of the area to complete the Ascendant Challenge and gain sweet rewards in the process. Dying even once in the Ascendant Plane will return players back to the Dreaming City, and they will have to navigate the entire thing all over again.
