In the ever-evolving universe of Destiny 2, players have recently discovered a concealed merchant known as the Path of Ambition, introduced in the Heresy Act II. Distinct from the familiar Slab vendor located in Eris’s quarters, this secret vendor possesses its own unique set of reputation progression and rewards. Not only does it provide players with new upgrades and perk bonuses, but it also offers Essentia materials as rewards for leveling up.
Essentially, the Path of Ambition serves as an additional avenue for players once it has been unlocked within the Shaping Slab vendor. Following Act I’s focus on the Darkness path, Act II’s introduction of the Light path encourages players to explore new strategies and options in their gameplay.
This article will provide an overview of how to access the Path of Ambition in Destiny 2 Heresy, including detailed steps to unlock this intriguing feature.
Guide to the Shaping Slab Ambition in Destiny 2 Heresy
Step 1: Locate a Special Worm
The first task is to complete Week 1 of the seasonal quest titled “Rites of the Deep.” This quest consists of nine sequential steps. Once completed, players need to seek out a specific Worm located within The Nether, particularly in the Hall of Souls. To get there, you can initiate either The Nether activity or the Court of Blades and navigate your way to the Hall of Souls.
The Worm is situated in a well-known spot among players: the red room typically inhabited by the Tormentor boss, a location that many recognize from the initial encounter in the King’s Fall raid. However, for a quicker experience, heading to the Court of Blades spawning point is recommended. From there, you should proceed beneath the pathway to find the Worm.
After interacting with the Worm, a new quest will unlock on the Last City map.
Step 2: Embark on the Path of Ambition Quest
Next, launch the newly available quest from the Last City map. The mission is largely straightforward, guiding you to follow an objective marker, leap across a series of Taken Blights, traverse through portals, and engage in battles against Taken adversaries. Players may find a particular section of the quest perplexing: just after a substantial drop, the directive will shift to “Follow your Ambition.”
In this part of the quest, your goal is to ascend. Simply turn to your left to discover a nearby ledge, which you can ascend to reach an open area reminiscent of the Barrow Dyad Exotic quest.
Step 3: Modify Your Path at Eris’ Flat
After completing the quest, return to Eris’s flat, where you’ll find a new object positioned in front of the Slab. This upgrade allows you to switch your path from Darkness to Light or vice versa. As previously mentioned, the Path of Ambition (Light) operates as a distinct vendor, featuring its own separate reputation system and rewards independent of the Darkness path.
Rewards from the Light/Ambition path include Essentia, upgrades for Artifact perks such as Unraveling Weave, Elemental Siphon, and Twisted Horde, along with exclusive Weapon mods, Nether buffs, and Exotic Scriptures.
For those eager to enhance their gameplay strategy and explore the multifaceted offerings of Destiny 2’s latest season, unlocking the Path of Ambition presents an exciting opportunity to redefine your approach to the game.
