How to join an Ascendant Challenge

To join an Ascendant Challenge you need a consumable (Tincture of Queensfoil) that allows you to see things usually hidden from view, such as the Ascendant Challenge portals.

Cimmerian Garrison Ascendant Challenge

To reach this location, you must reach the Chamber of Starlight – the Lost Sector in Rheasiliva – and fight until you see the portal; it is on the shelf where the Taken Hobgoblins spawn.

Ouroborea Ascendant Challenge

This challenge is located in Aphelion’s Rest, the Lost Sector in the Strand. You can see the portal floating just before the boss.

Forfeit Shine Ascendant Challenge

To reach this location you must go to Gardens of Esila, south of Dreaming City (you can see the Strand of the connective tunnels below the map). You can find the portal to the Forfeit Shine on the left side of the Gardens, behind some rocks.

Shattered Ruins Ascendant Challenge

You can reach this challenge in the Spine of Keres. Go to Divalion Mists spawn point, head straight and then left until you reach the blue crystal cave. Follow the path until the end of the bridges: there you can find the portal you’re looking for.

Keep of Honed Edges Ascendant Challenge

This challenge is located inside the main building in Rheasiliva (exactly in Harbinger’s Seclude). First of all, you have to reach the underground cavern, pass through it and reach a statue outside (the portal is waiting for you there).

Agonarch Abyss Ascendant Challenge

To reach this location you must go to the Bay of Drowned Wishes- the Lost Sector in Divalian Mists – and enter a pass opposite the bay. You will see the portal floating above the ground.
