Master the Mystical: Unleashing the Power of Seasonal Challenges in Destiny 2 - Week 4 Guide

In week 4 of Season of the Witch, the focus is on highly challenging objectives. After completing this week's chapter of The Bladed Path quest, if you're up for a challenge, you can try your hand at the Nightfall Strikes on Grandmaster difficulty. If you succeed, there's another tough challenge waiting for you in Forgotten Power. You'll need to enter the Altars of Summoning, complete a Powerful encounter, and defeat enemies using the damage type that corresponds to your subclass.

The remaining challenges for this week are relatively simple in comparison. You can calibrate close-range weapons such as sidearms, submachine guns, shotguns, glaives, and swords. Additionally, you can earn ability final blows in Season of the Witch activities, complete daily bounties, and keep one of your Light subclasses equipped to mark off Luminary II from your list. Once you've completed all of these tasks, you'll have plenty of Bright Dust to use for new cosmetic gear, as well as a substantial amount of XP to unlock more rewards from the season pass.

Completing each seasonal challenge will reward you with a significant amount of Bright Dust, which can be used to acquire various appealing cosmetic items such as weapon ornaments, Exotic sparrows, and emotes. Don't forget, this bonus awaits you upon completion.

Week 1

The Season of the Witch has commenced in Destiny 2, bringing along fresh matchmade activities, gear, and storylines. One of the major attractions of a new season in Destiny 2 is the opportunity to unlock fantastic rewards on the premium and free tracks of the season pass through progress. To accumulate a substantial amount of XP swiftly, completing seasonal challenges proves to be an efficacious option. Every week, the game introduces several optional objectives that primarily revolve around the new matchmade activity, progressing through a new chapter of the ongoing storyline, and engaging various enemies throughout the Solar system.

To commence the first week of Season 22, players can embark on the initial chapter of The Bladed Path quest. This experience enables them to catch up on recent events, acquaints them with the novel Altars of Summoning activity, and culminates in a climactic showdown against Hive and Vex forces that were subjected to experiments by Savathun. Upon completion of this activity, players can continue engaging in Altars of Summoning to earn more XP by opening chests within this event or in Savathun's Spire.
