The final set of Seasonal Challenges for Destiny 2's Season of the Seraph is here. Only three challenges are tied to the tenth set of this season's challenges, although two of them require some serious grinding to complete. If you're up for the task, you'll be rewarded with tons of XP, Umbral Energy, and a little bit of Bright Dust.
This week's challenges require you to find collectibles in Seraph's Shield, complete EDZ activities, and acquire the final ornament for Veles-X. Typically there are a few more objectives than that, but there really are only three challenges this week. We'll give an overview on challenge specifics, rewards, and how to get these completed as fast as possible.
Seraph's Shield IV
Seraph's Shield IV: Located all Warmind nodes and destroy all security drones in the Exotic mission "Operation: Seraph's Shield."
Rewards
- 50,000 XP
- Seraphic Umbral Energy +8
This challenge is retroactive.
Seraph Station has 12 security drones and four Warmind nodes to collect. You can destroy security drones by shooting them with Revision Zero, a weapon you should have already earned from Seraph's Shield. Warmind nodes are unlocked by creating a Resonant Stem from the Enhanced Resonance Amp in your inventory. In layman's terms, play seasonal content and use your Resonance Amp in your inventory to locate a node; the amp will tell you where the Warmind node is located.
The issue is that the Warmind node you get will be a random node you haven't done. You might get lucky and get all four Seraph nodes in a row, or you might get them interspersed with destination nodes. We recommend you collect all Warmind nodes if you're going to attempt this challenge, as its one of the requirements for getting the Seraph title.
As for the security drones, follow our Seraph security drones guide. This will showcase all security drone locations in order of appearance, including the Seraph Shield drones. Be sure you have Revision Zero in your inventory before attempting this.
EDZ Activities
EDZ Activities: In the EDZ, earn progress by completing bounties, patrols, public events, and Lost Sectors.
Rewards
- 25,000 XP
- 75 Bright Dust
As with all other activity Triumphs, you'll need to complete activities on the EDZ. We highly recommend you grab bounties from Devrim Kay and clear out Lost Sectors in Trostland. EDZ Lost Sectors are incredibly short and grant a ton of progress per clear. Paired with bounties, you should get this challenge finished within an hour.
Vanguard Ornament
Vanguard Ornament: Acquire the Vanguard ornament for Veles-X.
Rewards
- 100,000 XP
- 300 Bright Dust
Orcus-X is the Vanguard ornament for Veles-X, available upon resetting your Vanguard Rank and reaching rank 16 with Commander Zavala. This will take a few play sessions if you haven't been playing Vanguard Ops this season. We recommend farming Adept-tier Nightfalls (Legend/Master if you can handle it) to get optimal progress. Nightfalls at higher difficulties grant more reputation than Vanguard Ops and benefit from Activity Streaks. It's also not a bad way to get your hands on this season's Prolonged Engagement SMG.
