Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch has arrived, and your Guardian will be working alongside Eris to prepare for war against Xivu Arath, the Hive Goddess of War. Defeating Xivu Arath is a requirement from Savathun before her Ghost brings her back to life, giving her a chance to redeem herself and fight against the Witness. For Season of the Witch, this season’s quest is called The Bladed Path.
This Season’s quest steps will require multiple weeks for you to complete, and more parts of this The Bladed Path will appear following each Tuesday reset. This guide covers all The Bladed Path quest steps that you’ll need to work through as you play into Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch.
Every The Bladed Path Step in Destiny 2
There are 51 steps for you to go through The Bladed Path in Destiny 2. You’ll want to make sure you complete it before you reach the end of Season of the Witch. So long as you follow along each week, you’ll be able to grab all the requirements and keep up with everything to prepare for your dive to go after the Witness in The Final Shape.
The Bladed Path Step 1
The first step will be for you to begin the Mission: Invoke, which you can find on the H.E.L.M menu after you complete your transformation with Eris during the start of Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch. You can choose to complete it by yourself or with a fire team of up to three other Guardians.
The Bladed Path Step 2
The next step is to return to the H.E.L.M., and speak with the Holoprojecter with your Destiny 2 character. You must track it down in the new room on the H.E.L.M where you have been conducting the Season of the Witch activities with Eris. You can find it to the right before you enter the portal.
The Bladed Path Step 3
Following your discussion with Ikora, the next step is to make your way to the Radio in the H.E.L.M. and listen to the message waiting for you. It will be to the left of the door.
The Bladed Path Step 4
You’ve completed all the tasks you can do for Eris right now. You will have to return to this quest series next Tuesday to find the next steps in Destiny 2.
The Bladed Path Step 5
The second week of Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch has arrived, and a new round of quests is available for you to work through. You’ll need to return to Eris Morn in the Athenaeum, which you can reach in the H.E.L.M.
The Bladed Path Step 6
After speaking with Eris, listen to her story. You can hear how she’s been changing in Destiny 2, and how joining the Hive has made her feel like more of herself, which Ikora greatly disproves, but the results are there, and you can continue working with Eris to prepare the ritual. After first speaking with Eris, a cutscene will play out where you can learn about Sword Logic.
The Bladed Path Step 7
Now, after you’ve learned about Sword Logic from Eris, make your way over to the ritual table. Interact with it with your Destiny 2 character, and you’ll have to pick from Arc, Solar, or Void Attunement. Your choice does dictate the rewards you receive, however, as you progress through The Bladed Path in Destiny 2, you and your Destiny 2 character can unlock all three.
The Bladed Path Step 8
Now, you’ll need to defeat enemies on Savathun’s Throne World or in Seasonal Activities using the element you selected. For my playthrough, I decided to go with Void, and changed my Hunter’s subclass to Void, and worked my way through Savathun’s Spire.
The Bladed Path Step 9
This next step requires you to track down the Hive elemental runes you can find while exploring Savathun’s Throne World in Destiny 2. These are hidden, and that means you need to explore the many Lost Sectors to reveal them. For the first one, head down to the Florescent Canal region, and locate the Sepulcher Lost Sector.
The Bladed Path Step 10
After you’ve worked through this puzzle, return to the H.E.L.M and go to the radio where your Destiny 2 character can listen to a new conversation with Immaru, Savathun’s ghost. He was previously an antagonist and shares some records that Savathun had regarding the Guardian’s defeat of Oryx, many years ago.
The Bladed Path Step 11
Make your way back to Eris’ section of the H.E.L.M., and you’ll find a conversation between the Drifter and Eris. Your Guardian in Destiny 2 can only watch as these two speak, but unlike the others, the Drifter is not warning Eris away from this path. Instead, he’s curious about what it’s like, and promises Eris he’s going to be there at the end of it when she comes out the other side.
The Bladed Path Step 12
Finally, the last thing you need to do is make your way over to the Holoprojector in Eris’ section of the H.E.L.M. and listen to the final recording of Immaru. He’s going to share a recording that Savathun shared with him.
The Bladed Path Step 13
After waiting a week, you can return to Eris for the next series of steps.
The Bladed Path Step 14
It’s time to make your way back to the H.E.L.M for the next series of quests that you can work on alongside Eris, furthering her ritual in Destiny 2. For completing this task, you’ll receive a Witch’s Key.
The Bladed Path Step 15
Now, it’s time to do another run of Savatun’s Spire. You’ll have the chance to do this at any time with a fireteam of your choosing, or you can do it with a random Destiny 2 group.
The Bladed Path Step 16
It’s time to make your way back over to the Holoprojector at the H.E.L.M. Immaru will want a word with your Destiny 2 character, and will break down what’s going on with Xivu Arath.
The Bladed Path Step 17
For this next step, you’ll have to prevent Xivu Arath from removing the tithes from Eris, and you’ll need to launch the Mission: Conjure, to make it to the next step.
The Bladed Path Step 18
With the Mission: Conjure completed, it’s time to make your way back to the H.E.L.M and to return to the holoprojector for another conversation.
The Bladed Path Step 19
The final thing you’ll need to do for this week is make your way to the radio for the final conversation on your Destiny 2 character for this portion of the quests.
The Bladed Path Step 20
You’ll need to wait and return next week for more missions for Eris.
The Bladed Path Step 21
Now, the next series of quests are ready for you to complete in Destiny 2, with the start for Week 4. Make your way to the holoprojector to get started.
The Bladed Path Step 22
Similar to week 2, there will be one of the two elements you’ll need to attune with at the Ritual table, and you’ll have to complete more tasks associated with it.
The Bladed Path Step 23
Rather than investigating the lost sectors, this week is all about completing patrols using your chosen element, and I recommend having a weapon that also reflects it to make it go by much faster.
The Bladed Path Step 24
Now, return to the chosen Lost Sector and attune with the elemental runes in the area on Savathun’s Throne World using your Destiny 2 character. Make sure you’re using a weapon that reflects your chosen element.
The Bladed Path Step 25
After you’ve completed this task, it’s time to make your way to the Ikora, and you can find her on the H.E.L.M.
The Bladed Path Step 26
Now, another person wants to speak with your Destiny 2 character. Make your way over to the Holoprojector, and learn more about what Xiva Arath has planned for your campaign.
The Bladed Path Step 27
The final thing you need to do for this week is return to the radio, and wrap up this week’s story.
The Bladed Path Step 28
Eris will summon your Destiny 2 character when they’re needed, and you can expect this to kick off Week 5 of Season of the Witch.
The Bladed Path Step 29
It’s time for another week of Destiny 2’s The Bladed Path quest. For those who have caught up to this point, you can start by making your way to visit the holoprojector at the H.E.L.M to hear the latest message left by Ikora.
The Bladed Path Step 30
For this step, make your way to the Altars of Summoning. You’ll be required to complete at least 5 of these events, and you can do it by yourself or with a fireteam of your choosing. I found that even if you go in solo, random players have the chance to join you, which might make some of these tasks much easier to complete.
The Bladed Path Step 31
Once the five rituals at the Altars of Summoning have finished, return to the H.E.L.M to interact with the holoprojector, listening to the next message.
The Bladed Path Step 32
Now, Eris wants to find you in her Athenaeum. She wants to update you on the progress you’ve made during Destiny 2, Season of the Witch.
The Bladed Path Step 33
Eris will give you the Minor Arcana, A GIft of Cunning, and you can use it to enter the Umbaru Engine.
The Bladed Path Step 34
The next step you need to take in Destiny 2 has you adventuring into the Imbaru Engine. Here, you’ll discover a series of secrets that you’ll have to uncover, bringing you one step closer to defeating Xivu Arath.
The Bladed Path Step 35
You now need to explore the Imbaru Engine, trying to find what Eris needs you to seek out.
The Bladed Path Step 36
There is a radio message waiting for you back at the H.E.L.M. Listen to it, and this will be your final task of the week.
The Bladed Path Step 37
Eris will reach out to you during the next reset to continue more of The Bladed Path quest in Destiny 2.
The Bladed Path Step 38
The next week has arrived for another set of The Bladed Path Quest Steps in Destiny 2. For this week, we’re going to make our way to the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M to kick things off.
The Bladed Path Step 39
After interacting with the holoprojector, it’s time to attune with the final element at Eris Morn’s Ritual Table and work on that section of the quest.
The Bladed Path Step 40
Your goal for this series of quests is to defeat the Lucent Hive on Savathun’s Throne World, or by completing Seasonal Activities. You’ll receive credit for it in Destiny by crushing the Ghosts.
The Bladed Path Step 41
After you’ve completed those tasks, make your way to the next Lost Sector area, and attune with the hidden elements within the area. You’ll have to seek them out in the starting area and shoot them with the correct element weapon.
The Bladed Path Step 42
With that task complete, it’s time to make your way back to Eris and talk with her at the Athenaeum. She has more things she’d like to discuss.
The Bladed Path Step 43
After talking with Eris, make your way over to the radio inside the H.E.L.M.
The Bladed Path Step 44
The final step for this week is to return to the Holoprojector, and you’ll be good to go for this week’s missions in Destiny 2.
The Bladed Path Step 45
You’ll now have to wait one more week for Eris’ instructions, which will feature the final set of missions for The Bladed Path in Destiny 2.
The Bladed Path Step 46
It’s time to wrap up Eris’ mission in Destiny 2. Make your way to the Athenaeum to speak with Eris.
The Bladed Path Step 47
You’ll be asked by Eris to complete Savathun’s Spire, as you have from the previous week’s quests.
The Bladed Path Step 48
After you’ve done Savathun’s Spire once with your Destiny 2 character, return to the H.E.L.M for the next transmission at the holoprojector.
The Bladed Path Step 49
The final unique quest for The Bladed Path is called Mission: Sunder. You’ll be able to find it in the menu after leaving the H.E.L.M.
The Bladed Path Step 50
Now that you’ve wrapped up Mission: Sunder, go back to talk with Eris to exchange some final words together in Destiny 2.
The Bladed Path Step 51
The last thing you have to do for this quest is to make your way over to the radio in the H.E.L.M to hear the final transmission, and you’ll have wrapped up The Bladed Path quest in Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch.
