Ascendant Challenge - Aphelion's Rest

[GazzaGarratt 11,153]

The Ascendant Challenge from week one was called Aphelion's Rest. This is currently one of the bounties up for sale at Petra. On completion it will grant you Powerful Gear.

 

Ascendant Challenges require you to use a 'Tincture of Queensfoil'. This will allow you to see ascendant world elements around the Dreaming City. The following steps should outline what to do in this challenge:

 

1. Go to the Aphelion Lost Sector - This is situated under where Petra is. Fall off the cliff and then walk around the edge of the cliff to the left.
2. Consume your Tincture of Queensfoil - it only lasts 30 minutes so makes sense to use it just before entry
3. Half way through the Lost Sector a portal will be in the air, you can't miss it
4. Once through you need to destroy 4 Blights. Best advice is ignore all enemies. When each blight is destroyed, a huge knight will spawn in and they will chase you. Again, best to ignore.
5. Once all blights destroyed, the crystals in the middle will be available to shoot.
6. Shoot all crystals to despawn all enemies
7. Collect loot from chests

A few tips that @Horrible_Hector mentioned last week were to stand on top of the blights and punch them as you don't take damage. Also, find a tree that you can jump in as the knights cannot hurt you whilst you kill the crystals.

Are there more than one challenge a week? Chad and I did one and it wasn’t at the Lost sector. It was at the garden next to the big tree on the left

Yep, just posted it separately as I'm going to guess they'll come back in some rotation.
