Destiny 2 Riven's Wishes guide: All objectives, best farm, rewards, and more

The new Riven's Wishes activity in Destiny 2 allows players to fill in any void that might be left in their collections. The reward pool is stacked with red-bordered Last Wish weapons and armor pieces after the Lightfall expansion dropped. However, Mara Sov wants her subjects to complete a few tasks before she hands these rewards away.

This article lists everything related to Riven's Wish, including the objectives in the coming week, all available rewards, and the best farms for Riven's Token currencies.

All objectives for Riven's Wishes in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish

The Riven's Wish activity will be active for six weeks in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish, forming a bridge between now and Into the Light in April. Here is a list of all objectives available from Week 1 to 6:

Week 1: Complete Public Events in Dreaming City, including other activities such as Lost Sectors, Heroic Blind Wells, and Last Wish Raid encounters.
Week 2: Open Ascendant Chests.
Week 3: Defeat 1600 Combatants in Legend or Master Lost Sectors.
Week 4: Complete Tier 3 Blind Well, and 1500 targets in Blind Well.
Week 5: Defeat 80 Taken bosses.
Week 6: Complete the Prophecy Dungeon.

These objectives can be completed once per week in a single character, and the Riven's Token reward can also be obtained once per week. This results in only one reward per week, adding up to six rewards for six weeks.

Head to Mara Sov at the HELM and collect the "Riven's Wishes I" quest. The objectives include completing Public Events and Dreaming City activities. However, instead of running around doing random things in the Dreaming City, it is important to know the most efficient ways to complete the steps.

Public Events: The Rift Generator Public Event will grant the most progress, as you will only need to run it once.
Other Heroic Events and Lost Sectors: 6% progression.
Heroic Blind Well completion: 16% progression.
Kali farm in Last Wish: 16% per run.

Note that the Patrols and Ascendant Challenges will not count towards the progress of this week's mission.

The second week of Riven's Wishes requires you to open seven Ascendant chests, located across different corners of the Dreaming City. However, before venturing forth, you must consume a Tincture of Queensfoil to become able to see the chests in question.

The following are the Ascendant chests and their locations:

Bay of Drowned Wishes Lost Sector: Enter the Lost Sector and look for a tree outside with all the Scorn Screebs and Abomination. Climb to the tree and look for a platform to your right. These platforms will appear only if you have consumed a Tincture. Follow the platforms and open the chest.
Divalian Mists: From the waypoint, head for the large entrance where Scorns and Taken are fighting. Head inside and look for a floating platform on the left near the statue on the wall. Follow the platforms for the chest.
Spine of Keres: Keep going until you come across the bridge that leads to the Oracle Engine. From the bridge, take a right and jump down. At the lowest level, you will see a platform appear in mid-air. Follow them for a chest.
Strand: Head to where Petra Venj is located in the Strand and climb up to the top of the pillar ring. You will see a series of platforms appear here.
Aphalion's Rest Lost Sector: Head inside the Aphalion's Rest waypoint and skip everything, including the boss room. Upon walking a bit further, you will find a chest.
Chamber of Starlight Lost Sector: Upon entering the Lost Sector, look for a balcony to your top-right. Climb up to see the platforms appearing.
Rheasilvia: Head to Rheasilvia, specifically on the spawning point of The Corrupted Strike, and head left. Take the mountain ledges and follow the path until you start climbing. The platforms will appear once you have climbed on the topmost ledge.

Return to Mara Sov for Week 2 Wish Token.

Week 3 objective for Riven's Wishes in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish

The third week of Riven's Wishes requires you to defeat targets in Legendary or Master versions of a Lost Sector. It is a fairly simple step, as you do not need to complete a Lost Sector to acquire this week's Riven Token. The trick lies in the Aphelion's Rest Lost Sector, which is this week's (February 13 to 20) featured Sector with higher difficulty.

Start the Lost Sector from the node outside, and defeat a bunch of thralls and additional enemies at the start. You can choose to either defeat the tralls only and reset the Sector, or progress halfway into the Sector just before the boss room. Both options should be enough to complete this week's Riven's Wishes.

Week 4 objective for Riven's Wishes in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish

The fourth week of Riven's Wishes requires you to complete a tier 3 Blind Well run. However, to complete the second step, you can run a tier 3 Blind Well three or four times to complete the objective.

Week 5 objective for Riven's Wishes in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish

For the Week 5 objective, you must either defeat the Taken boss in the Rheasilvia region of Dreaming City, or summon to defeat Pauurc in the same region. For the latter, head to Rheasilvia and look for "Saboteur wanders the Dreaming City" in the bottom-left of your screen. Keep an eye out for the white bridge, followed by the blue circles that connect them.

A Saboteur will spawn in one of these circles. Kill the saboteur to pick up an orb. Head towards a pink-colored pool, as shown in the image above, to drain your Exhausted debuff. Take the orb and head north, followed by a left. Make your way to the extreme far-left corner of the map by hopping through multiple hills.

The location is given in the image below.

Deposit the orb in the location shown above, and head to the middle circle of the white bridge to fight Pauurc. The mechanics of the fight include a combination of the tasks you just performed.

Defeat orange bar enemies to spawn orbs. Pick these orbs up and look for a pink pool near the boss to charge the orb. Throw the charged orb on the boss to deal damage to its shield.

Simply repeat this process until his shields are exhausted, allowing you to deal damage on Pauurc's health bar.

For the Taken bosses, look for the text "Enemies are moving against each other" and wait for bosses to spawn on the Rheasilvia bridge. Do this loop twice to complete the step.

Week 6 objective for Riven's Wishes in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish

For the Week 6 objective, you must complete all three encounters of the Prophecy Dungeon. Since the quest step has the name of the three encounters, completing each by simply teleporting with checkpoints will work as well. This will allow you to skip numerous encounters and jumping puzzles between the three encounters.
