Destiny 2 Season of the Deep: Into the Depths Walkthrough (all steps) – Week 3

Though there have been some changes to the Destiny 2 seasonal model in Season of the Deep, one thing remains for sure: the seasonal story mission. Like always, it will progress weekly, unlocking additional activities, rewards, and other loot sources, while telling the ongoing story of the Destiny 2 universe. In Destiny 2 Season 21, we’ll all be diving Into the Depths of a methane ocean on Titan, a moon of Saturn. This guide covers every step of the Into the Depths questline and how to complete them quickly and efficiently.

Step 1: Speak with Drifter at the Holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.

Immediately after speaking with Sloane, Zavala, and the Drifter, enter the blue portal at the back of the room to reach a new wing of the H.E.L.M. The holoprojector to the left of the portal there will give you a message from Drifter.

Step 2: Complete the Salvage Activity

Destiny 2 Season 21 Salvage Activity sees you and five other Guardians preparing to salvage materials for the war effort, defusing bombs, and diving deep into the Methane oceans to clear out Hive and Taken corruption. This step completes when you successfully finish the first activity.

Step 3: Complete the “Operation: Thunderbolt” Weekly Mission

In the first Deep Dive of Destiny 2 Season 21, you’ll be mining for paracausal coral in facilities in the depths of the ocean. Each activity is different, with this one asking you to power a drill and defeat a burning Servitor boss. Upon opening the Deep Chest at the activity’s end, you’ll progress to the next step.

Step 4: Bring the coral to Sloane

Head back to the H.E.L.M. and go through the blue portal to speak to Sloane and let her commune with Ahsa.

Step 5: Speak with Sloane at the holoprojector

Back through the blue portal and to the projector to its left, you’ll hear more about Sloane’s history since Titan disappeared.

Step 6: Claim the Deep Challenger Seasonal Challenge

Head into the Seasonal Challenge screen and navigate to the Seasonal Bonuses screen, the middle marker above the left Chalenges bar.

Step 7: Wait for Sloane and Ahsa to be ready again

Time to wait until the next weekly reset for the story mission to progress.

Step 8: Speak with Zavala at the holoprojector

Zavala has an update, mentioning that you’ll be going even deeper into Titan now.

Step 9: Complete a Salvage mission

Salvage has a new boss this week, but the activity is relatively unchanged otherwise.

Step 10: Complete the “Mayday, Mayday.” weekly mission

As promised, you’ll be going much deeper into Titan’s methane oceans, clearing Hive and Taken, powering and repairing a drill, and facing down a boss-level Wizard.

Step 11: Witness the conversation in the H.E.L.M.

Return to the H.E.L.M. and Commander Zavala will be standing in front of the portal leading to Titan. He and Saint-14 will have a conversation about Sloane and Zavala’s growing unease about everything.

Step 12: Bring Sloane the Coral

Give Sloane the coral you extracted during the weekly mission and she’ll commune with Ahsa again for more mysterious lore.

Step 13: Speak with Sloane at the holoprojector

Back in the regular H.E.L.M., Sloane has her own struggles that she’ll share with you — primarily the sitting still with her thoughts. Listening will help take her mind off of things for a moment.

Step 14: Wait for Sloane and Ahsa to be ready again

Time to wait until the next weekly reset for the story mission to progress.

Step 15: Speak with Saladin at the Holoprojector

Back to the H.E.L.M. holoprojector you go. Saladin has word that Sloane is ready for another link with Ahsa, and waxes philosophical about her state of being.

Step 16: Complete the “Operation Fulgurite” Mission

With week three, you’re thrown straight into the weekly mission, this time called Operation Fulgurite. You’re going deeper into the methane oceans than ever before, and while the enemies are tougher, the challenges are much the same: banking coral, fighting Taken, and taking down one last boss.

Step 17: Complete a Deep Dive Activity

With all the weekly mission bosses defeated, Deep Dives now have three layers and three tiers of rewards should you commune with the Darkness lure. Even Exotics are available, should you finish the highest difficulty.

Step 18: Witness the Conversation between Drifter and Saladin in the H.E.L.M.

Back in front of the H.E.L.M. portal, Saladin and the Drifter have a brief conversation about Sloane, Drifter’s past, and a few other details.

Step 19: Bring the Coral to Sloane

Head through the portal to Titan and listen to the commune between Sloane and Ahsa. There are some juicy Final Shape details coming into focus.

Step 20: Speak with Sloane at the Holoprojector

Sloane is starting to get a clearer picture of what Ahsa has to say, and explains a bit more about herself.

Step 21: Wait for Sloane and Ahsa to be ready again

Communing takes a lot out of Sloane, so it’s time to wait another week for more from her.

We will update this guide as additional steps become available.
