Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted has reached its epilog as Guardians enter the second week of Grandmaster Nightfalls. Caiatl finally faced her father inside the pyramid alongside the Guardians, where she finally put an end to Calus' reign once and for all.

The upcoming seasonal challenges in week 8 don't require much from Guardians, as the season itself is in its latter stages. With only a couple of weeks remaining until challenges stop coming with resets, players will need to complete six additional objectives to gain more artifact bonuses and rewards.

The following article lists all the upcoming seasonal challenges in week 8 of Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted.


All six seasonal challenges in week 8 of Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted (July 12)

1) Shocking Forgiveness

To complete this challenge, players will need to run the Sever Forgiveness mission using an Arc subclass, alongside Arc, Stasis and Stasis weapons. Weapons such as Riskrunner and Hothead can be great for this mission. Similar to before, players can opt to avoid picking up Solar Scythe and blowing up barrels.

  • Sever Forgiveness completion required: 1

Rewards: Opulent Umbral energy and Challenger XP+.


2) Vestiges of Dread III

Vestiges of Dread III is the last step in the questline, where players will need to collect more Vestiges of Dread and material nodes from the derelict Leviathan. Collecting chests, finishing patrols and bounties can drop Vestiges upon completion.

In addition, players can max out the entire Reaping section within the upgrades section of Crown of Sorrow. Some include:

  • Vestiges of Dread Destination bonus combat
  • Vestiges of Dread Destination chest bonus
  • Vestige core ritual

Players need to collect 25,000 Vestiges and 80 Materials to complete this challenge. Rewards include Challenger XP++.


3) Umbral Focusing III

To complete this challenge, players will need to focus their umbral engrams on the Crown of Sorrow, be it Opulent weapons or seasonal gears. A great way to earn umbral engrams is to run Nightmare Containment, playlist activities and different other activities in the game.

Since there is no way to target farm umbral engrams, simply playing the game and passively earning them is the easiest way.

  • Focused weapons required: 10
  • Focused armor: 8

Rewards: Challenger XP++.


4) Pinnacle
