- Tinctures can be purchased from Petra Venj in the Dreaming City.
- Ascendant Chest locations rotate based on the Dreaming City’s weekly curse cycle.
- This guide covers the Strongest Curse Week chest locations used for the Treasure Hunt triumph.
If you’re working on the Treasure Hunt triumph in Destiny 2’s Monument of Triumph event, you’ll need to locate and open several hidden Ascendant Chests throughout the Dreaming City. These chests are invisible unless you have the Ascendant buff from a Tincture of Queensfoil, making preparation essential before you begin your hunt.
How Ascendant Chests work in Destiny 2
Ascendant Chests are hidden collectibles scattered throughout the Dreaming City. Under normal circumstances, these chests and the pathways leading to them are invisible. Consuming a Tincture of Queensfoil grants the Ascendant buff, allowing you to see special platforms, portals, and hidden chests for a limited time.
| Requirement | Details |

| Triumph | Treasure Hunt |
| Destination | Dreaming City |
| Required Item | Tincture of Queensfoil |
| Vendor | Petra Venj |
| Buff Needed | Ascendant |
| Curse Cycle | Weekly Rotation |
| Chests Covered | 3 (Strongest Curse Week) |
| Fast Travel Required | Only between first and second locations |
Because the Dreaming City operates on a three-week curse cycle, the available Ascendant Chest locations change each week. Before starting, visit Petra Venj and purchase enough Tinctures to ensure you can complete the route without interruption.
Location of Petra Venj and obtaining Tincture of Queensfoil
Petra Venj can be found in the Dreaming City, though her exact position changes depending on the active weekly rotation. Speak with her and purchase Tincture of Queensfoil from her inventory.
Once obtained, consume the tincture before searching for the chests. You should see the Ascendant status effect appear on your screen.
Locations involved in this route
This Treasure Hunt route takes place across the Dreaming City’s main patrol zones, beginning in Divalian Mists and then moving to The Strand. During the Strongest Curse week, hidden Ascendant pathways become accessible in elevated cliffside areas and around large trees overlooking the patrol spaces. Having a Sparrow and decent jump capabilities will make navigation significantly easier.
How to open the first Ascendant Chest in Divalian Mists
Travel to Divalian Mists and consume a Tincture of Queensfoil if you have not already done so. From the spawn area, climb the rocky formations located above the landing zone.
Look for newly visible Ascendant platforms and pathways that appear along the mountainside. Follow the hidden route as it wraps around the right side of the cliffs.
Continue along the Ascendant path until you reach the concealed chest and open it.
How to find the second Ascendant Chest in The Strand
Travel to The Strand after collecting the first chest. Make your way toward the upper cliff areas overlooking the zone. Climb to the highest accessible section near the large trees.
Look toward the far-right tree where Ascendant platforms become visible with the buff active. Carefully jump across the hidden platforms to reach and open the chest.
How to collect the third Ascendant Chest nearby
Remain in The Strand after obtaining the second chest. Search the nearby Ascendant pathways without returning to a fast-travel point.
Follow the hidden route extending from the previous platforming section. Continue along the visible Ascendant structures until you reach the final chest location.
Open the chest to complete this week’s available Treasure Hunt chest route.
| Objective | Reward |
|---|---|
| Open Ascendant Chests | Treasure Hunt Triumph Progress |
| Collect Weekly Chests | Monument of Triumph Progress |
| Complete Required Objectives | Event Completion Credit |
Common issues when searching for Ascendant Chests
The most common reason players cannot find the chests is forgetting to consume a Tincture of Queensfoil. Without the Ascendant buff, both the platforms and the chests remain invisible.
Another frequent issue is attempting to use a guide from a different curse week. Since chest locations rotate with the Dreaming City’s curse cycle, always verify that you’re following the route corresponding to the current week’s curse strength.
Completing the Treasure Hunt triumph efficiently
The fastest way to progress the Treasure Hunt triumph is to stock up on several Tinctures of Queensfoil before starting. This prevents interruptions if the buff expires during your search. During the Strongest Curse week, the three chest locations described above can be collected quickly, with the second and third chests located close enough together that no additional fast travel is necessary.
