To start out the “Writ: Path of Ambition” quest and start your journey towards unlocking the Path of Ambition, launch a personal occasion of The Nether in Discover mode. Progress by means of the exercise till you attain the Corridor of Souls (the place the Courtroom of Blades is positioned). Alternatively, you’ll be able to depart and re-launch the exercise till it spawns you into the correct space.
As soon as within the Corridor of Souls, make your technique to the Courtroom of Blades with all of the Thrall statues. From the portal/boss enviornment, stroll previous the statues till you attain the room with the weapon canister, the bridge, and the 2 doorways on both aspect. Go beneath the bridge.
If you drop down, you’ll immediately see a Taken Worm. Decide it up and also you’ll obtain the “Writ: Path of Ambition” quest. Now you can safely depart The Nether.
You’ll now have entry to a brand new story mission (which you’ll entry by way of The Final Metropolis) known as “Writ: Path of Ambition.” When you load in, comply with the trail — mirroring a lot of what you probably did in “Derealize.” Finally, you’ll attain the large door that you simply sealed on the finish of that quest, and it’ll be coated in Taken goop. Defeat the Wizard, stand on the platform, push ahead till you’re teleported to the Shaping Slab, after which work together with it to combat some Taken.

With the mission full, head again to Eris’ condominium and the Shaping Slab. To the correct of the slab you’ll discover a new pillar with an enormous Taken ball on it. Work together with it to “Embrace your Ambition.” This may flip the Taken ball white, full the hunt, and provide you with full entry to the Path of Ambition — together with the brand new Unique perk perform in your Barrow-Dyad.
Path of Ambition or Path of Resolve?

Extra necessary than a brand new rep monitor or rewards is how your the trail you select will impression your Barrow-Dyad’s secondary perk, Taken Divergence.
The perk says “this weapon resonates along with your decisions,” however when you look beneath that, you’ll see a tooltip that tells you an impact that’s being offered to you based mostly in your at present chosen path. Right here’s how the Barrow-Dyad adjustments relying on which path you’re on:
- Path of Resolve: Hitting three completely different targets generates a considerable amount of blight. Blighted Seekers bore by means of targets.
- Path of Ambition: Blight generated will increase the longer this weapon stays on a goal. Blighted Seekers burrow into targets and explode.
These two modes change the kind of content material that Barrow-Dyad is sweet for.
The Path of Ambition makes Barrow-Dyad hit a lot tougher towards single or precedence targets, and is what we’d advocate utilizing more often than not. We advocate the Path of Resolve whenever you’ll be in an encounter filled with enemies and have to kill all of them as shortly as attainable — just like the early rounds of Onslaught or Courtroom of Blades. However whereas utilizing the Path of Resolve, Barrow-Dyad acts as a poor man’s Osteo Striga (from the Witch Queen growth), so it’s best to simply use Osteo when you have it.
The Taken Divergence perk is in contrast to something Bungie has actually finished with an Unique prior to now — making a popularity monitor impression a person gun. With that in thoughts, it’s at present unclear what’s going to occur to this perk as soon as the episodic content material from Heresy is retired after Future 2: Codename Apollo launches this summer time.
