History of Dark Monastery

Overview

Dark Monastery is a 1–3 player story mission in The Dreaming City from Destiny 2: Forsaken, the third post-Last Wish mission. Petra Venj sends the Guardian to clear Harbinger's Seclude of fighting Taken and Scorn. The mission followed The Oracle Engine in the original sequence and was also offered as a weekly Petra mission. Its recorded recommended power was 540; an older guide recommends 540 for solo play.

Walkthrough

1. In Rheasilvia, follow the route into Harbinger's Seclude and fight through the Taken and Scorn. At the monastery, defeat the Ascendant Sentinels blocking the way forward.
2. Defeat Val Belyx, Gauntlet of Incaru, to open the portal to the Ascendant Plane.
3. Find the ritual site, defeat the two Priests of Incaru, and destroy the ritual crystal. Then run back through the portal before the Ascendant Plane closes.

The mission's recorded transcript confirms this sequence. A 2018 guide additionally describes optional hidden Odynom and lore collectible routes; those are omitted here because the opened transcript does not corroborate them.
