Destiny 2: Season of the Witch campaign walkthrough

Destiny 2: Season of the Witch focuses squarely on Eris Morn, known Hive expert, and the super angry sister of Savathun, Xivu Arath. Each week, a new entry in The Bladed Path questline will unlock, tasking players to engage with the seasonal activities and work through new content. Below is a breakdown of each week’s quest and the steps to complete them.

• Week 1
• Week 2
• Week 3
• Week 4
• Week 5
• Week 6
• Week 7

Toil and Trouble

Before you can get into the meat of the Bladed Path weekly quest, you will need to complete an introductory questline called Toil and Trouble. You will automatically be launched the mission, Way of the Witch, at the start of the season but it can also be started via the map of the H.E.L.M.

1. Complete the Way of the Witch mission
2. Complete Savathun’s Spire
3. Investigate the portal in the southern wing of the H.E.L.M.
4. Speak with Eris Morn in the Athenaeum
5. Visit the Lectern of Divination
6. Visit the Ritual Table in the Athenaeum

The Way of the Witch mission has you defeating Hive in Savathun’s Throne World. Fight along the bridge, destroy the crystals, and head up the elevator to the final arena. Here you must carry Solar crystals and deposit them. They’ll damage you over time so be quick about it. Melee the Arc crystal and then the other four to charge them up and summon the boss.

After completing the Way of the Witch and Savathun’s Spire, return to the H.E.L.M. and pass through the portal. Interact with the swirling presence in the middle of the runes to summon Eris, who will explain what to do. You will then need to interact with the two tables near the runes: Lectern of Divination and Ritual Table.

The Bladed Path – Week 1

1. Conquer powerful combatants and tithe strength to Eris Morn in Mission: Invoke
2. Visit the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
3. Visit the radio in the H.E.L.M.
4. Wait until next week

There are only a few steps for the first week of The Bladed Path. The longest part will be the mission, Invoke. Go to each arena, defeat the enemies, and tithe to Eris!

The Bladed Path – Week 2 (Includes Step 9 guide)

The second week of The Bladed Path has players traipsing across the Throne World and searching Lost Sectors for Hive runes. Some players may run into trouble on The Bladed Path Step 9, which requires players to find Hive runes in a Lost Sector.

5. Speak with Eris Morn in the Athenaeum
6. Listen to Eris’ story
7. Further your understanding of sword logic by attuning with an element at Eris Morn’s Ritual Table.
8. Defeat combatants using your selected element’s damage type in Savathun’s Throne World or in Seasonal activities.
9. Attune with the Hive elemental runes in the Lost Sectors of Savathun’s Throne World
10. Visit the radio in the H.E.L.M.
11. Speak with Eris Morn in the Athenaeum.
12. Visit the holoprojector in the southern wing of the H.E.L.M.
13. Wait until next week

The attunement step of the quest simply requires you to visit the Ritual Table in the Athenaeum and pick an element. You will only be able to pick one, but you will eventually have all three elemental types unlocked. After this step, the Lost Sector you need to attune the element in may be different. Refer to our Savathun’s Throne World Lost Sectors section for help finding them.

In the Metamorphosis Lost Sector, there are five runes in the first room with enemies:

• On the backside of the first little wall
• On the left side of the center dividing wall
• On the right side of the center dividing wall
• To the right of the door at the back of the room
• To the left of the door at the back of the room

The Bladed Path – Week 3

There’s not a lot to Week 3 of the Bladed Path. The main element will be a unique mission called Conjure, which has you fighting Xivu Arath’s foes in the Altars of Summoning solo.

14. Visit Eris in the Athenaeum
15. Complete Savathun’s Spire
16. Visit the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
17. Complete the Mission, Conjure
18. Visit the holoprojector in the southern wing of the H.E.L.M.
19. Visit the radio in the H.E.LM.
20. Wait until next week

The Bladed Path – Week 4

This week you get to choose another element to attune. You’ll eventually get all three, so leave whichever one you like least to last. Whichever element you choose will be the one you need to use for Step 23 in Savathun’s Throne World.

21. Visit the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
22. Attune with an element at Eris Morn’s Ritual Table
23. Complete 2 patrols and defeat enemies using your newly attuned element in Savathun’s Throne World
24. Attune five Void Hive runes in the Sepulcher Lost Sector
25. Visit Ikora in The Plunge, Dive Tank found via the H.E.L.M.
26. Visit the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
27. Visit the radio in the H.E.L.M.
28. Wait until next week

For Step 24, you’ll need to go into the Sepulcher Lost Sector and find five Hive runes. These are all Void and are located in the large chamber with the Ogre and the Lightbearer Wizard. You must activate all five within 20 seconds using Void damage:

• In the center of the room
• On a small box to the right
• In a hallway on the left side
• On the backside of the back-left pillar
• In the far right corner

The Bladed Path – Week 5

Week 5 of The Bladed Path includes players’ first look at the Imbaru Engine, an M.C. Escher-like room full of traps and fake chests.

29. Visit the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
30. Complete 5 Altars of Summoning
31. Visit the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
32. Speak with Eris Morn in the Athenaeum
33. Collect the A Gift of Cunning Minor Arcana from the Lectern of Divination

35. Explore the Imbaru Engine and return to the Ritual Table when you are ready. Eris left a note for you to read.
36. Visit the radio in the H.E.L.M.
37. Wait until next week

For Step 33, you’ll need to reveal the Minor Arcana card as well as pick it up – this means selecting it twice. If you don’t actually collect it, the Imbaru Engine activity will not appear in the H.E.L.M. and you will not be able to move onto Step 34.

The Imbaru Engine is a treasure hunt room. You’ll need to find chests that have the X Hive rune pointing at it. Unlocking the other chest will kill you. Equip a Cache Finder mod on your Ghost to make it easier to find the chests. The Hive runes will be on a circle disc with a pointy side literally pointing at the chest it belongs to.

The Bladed Path – Week 6

This week’s Bladed Path story mission has you unlocking the final element attunement at Eris’ Ritual Table and then using that element to get kills. For the Hive Ghosts, the best place to farm them is in Miasma at the entrance to the Vow of the Disciple raid. Finally, there's also five more Hive runes to find in the Extraction Lost Sector.

38. Visit the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
39. Attune with an element at Eris Morn’s Ritual Table
40. Crush 3 Hive Ghosts and defeat 15 enemies using element you attuned in Savathun’s Throne World

• By the door on the left
• On the left barrier beside the boss chest
• Beside the door at the back-right of the room
• In sunken area on the backside of the center platform

The Bladed Path – Week 7
