The eighth week of Destiny 2's Season of the Lost is here, complete with a new set of Seasonal Challenges. Since the narrative quest of this season concluded last week, this week's challenges are fairly light in comparison. The most notable challenge this week is needing to reach the pinnacle cap of 1,330 Power.

Beyond that, you'll also need to complete a Legend Shattered Realm mission, defeat targets with Fusion Rifles and Swords, and obtain the Gambit ornament for the Ascendancy Rocket Launcher. Let's dive into each challenge, how to complete them, and how much XP and Bright Dust each challenge grants.

Rewards

  • 25,000 XP
  • Wayfinder's Compass Calibration Level

For this challenge, you'll need to defeat 300 enemies with your Sword. Powerful enemies are worth far more, so be sure to use your Sword to defeat Champions and any majors you see. Some good Swords include Falling Guillotine, The Lament, and Black Talon.

  • Wayfinder's Compass Calibration Level

Related: Destiny 2: Astral Alignment Activity Guide

Ruthless Ley Liner is a fairly easy challenge, requiring you to destroy 100 Ether. Completing an Astral Alignment run grants around 20% progress, so this should take at most five runs to complete if you never get an Ether-related objective.

Display Of Authority

Destiny 2 Ascendancy Fruition Ornament

Display of Authority: Acquire the Gambit ornament for Ascendancy.

Rewards

  • 100,000 XP
  • 300 Bright Dust

This challenge is retroactive.

Named Fruition, the Gambit ornament for Ascendancy is obtained by reaching the rank of Legend twice in the Gambit playlist during this season. Even after some recent changes, Gambit is still the slowest playlist to rank up. Get a team, dive into the playlist, and don't take each game too seriously to get this done in a reasonable timeframe. For more information on obtaining Ascendancy and its ornaments, check out our Ascendancy guide.

Pinnacle

Destiny 2 Season of the Lost Mara

Pinnacle: Reach Power Level 1,330 by earning powerful rewards and Prime Engrams.

Rewards

  • 100,000 XP
  • 300 Bright Dust

This challenge is retroactive.

Unlike previous seasons, your Artifact Power does not contribute to this challenge. You must reach the pinnacle gear cap of 1,330 to finish this challenge. This requires you to complete pinnacle weeklies, such as the Vault of Glass raid, to exceed the standard hard cap of 1,320 Power. For all pinnacle gear sources and leveling tips, consult our Power Leveling guide.

Fusion Rifle And Sword Calibration

Destiny 2 Null Composure Featured

Fusion Rifle and Sword Calibration: Calibrate Fusion Rifles and Swords. Earn bonus progress against opposing Guardians.

Rewards

  • 50,000 XP
  • 150 Bright Dust

You'll need to defeat 100 enemies with either a Fusion Rifle or Sword to finish this challenge. Swing by the Kingship Dock Lost Sector in the Tangled Shore to get this done quickly. If you have a checkpoint for it, the Shuro Chi encounter in the Last Wish raid and the Thrall hallway in the Shattered Throne dungeon are great alternatives.
