How to unlock the Path of Ambition in Destiny 2

The Shaping Slab is the seasonal vendor in Destiny 2‘s Episode Heresy that you can rank up to unlock rewards and buffs. However, Act Two secretly introduced another variant of the Shaping Slab with a separate progression track, Path of Ambition.

Here’s how to unlock the Path of Ambition in Destiny 2 Episode Heresy and everything you can unlock by ranking it up.

How to unlock the Shaping Slab: Ambition in Destiny 2

To unlock the Path of Ambition, go into The Nether activity and reach the Hall of Souls. You can do this on any difficulty, including Explore. Simply reload the activity until you spawn in the Hall of Souls. Head to the area with the Tormentor encounter (where the King’s Fall raid starts) and collect a large worm under the bridge.

This kicks off the Writ: Path of Ambition quest. Open the Destinations map and launch the Writ: Path of Ambition mission in The Last City. The mission is very straightforward and takes you through the areas from the Derealize Exotic mission.

After you find the new Shaping Slab and complete the mission, head back to Eris’ apartment and switch to the Shaping Slab: Ambition using the Taken orb on the right of the slab. The game also says the next step for your journey is on the Moon, but further details are unclear for now. It could be another secret or something that arrives later in this Episode.

All Path of Ambition rank rewards

Shaping Slab: Ambition works the same as the Resolve one, with 12 ranks of rewards for you to unlock. Ranking up also grants an additional seasonal drop. Select the Shaping Slab you want to rank up and play seasonal activities to get loot.

Here’s the list of all Shaping Slab: Ambition rank rewards:

• Rank 2: 10 Metastasized Essentia.
