Oh man, let me tell you about the absolute rollercoaster I went through to unlock the Path of Ambition in Destiny 2: Heresy! It’s not just some stroll in the park—nah, this thing demands blood, sweat, and maybe a few shattered controllers. I mean, come on, you’ve gotta wrestle a Tithing Wormspawn out of the Court of Blades like it’s some forbidden treasure hunt. Picture this: I’m scrambling under that creepy bridge near the King’s Fall raid entrance, heart pounding like a drum solo, when bam! A Tormentor pops up like an uninvited party guest. And that’s just the warm-up act, folks. What the heck was Bungie thinking making us jump through hoops while Taken portals whisper sweet nothings? But hey, the darkness calls, and my Guardian just can’t resist. 😈
The Insanity Begins: Hunting That Slippery Wormspawn
So there I was, boots deep in the Court of Blades, scanning every shadow like a paranoid detective. That Tithing Wormspawn? It’s sneakier than a cat burglar. I must’ve died three times just tripping over rocks before spotting it lurking beneath the bridge—right where the Nether activity’s Tormentor loves to photobomb. The air felt thick with doom, and I swear the Dreadnaught’s walls were breathing. Gotta admit, though, snagging that worm felt like winning the lottery... if the prize was a one-way ticket to chaos.
Portal Hopping Madness: A Tour Through Taken Wonderland
With the worm in my pocket (metaphorically, ’cause let’s be real—it’s probably toxic), I charged into the Trenchway’s gaping cave mouth. Inside? Pure pandemonium. A Taken Portal swallowed me whole, spitting me out into another dimension where gravity’s more of a suggestion. I free-fell down a bottomless pit—no parachute, no safety net—until I crash-landed in this dimly lit nightmare room. The beams? Oh, they were my salvation, creaking like old bones as I spider-monkeyed up to this blight-infested open area. And then, just when I caught my breath, distant portals winked at me like sly temptresses. What a tease!
Next thing I know, I’m face-to-face with Xvaak, Waybearer—a Wizard who clearly skipped charm school. My Heavy ammo became confetti as I shredded her, captured the Hive Plate, and dove headfirst into the Core of Corruption. Interacting with that statue to ‘Embrace Ambition’? Felt like signing a deal with the devil. Suddenly, I’m swarmed by Thralls, Captains, and War Beasts—waves so relentless, I burned through Supers like candy. Voltshot and Chain Reaction? Lifesavers, baby. But holy moly, my trigger finger still aches.
Rewards Worth the Rage: Shaping Slab’s Goodies
After teleporting back to Eris’s Flat in The Last City (which, by the way, felt like waking up from a fever dream), I embraced my ambition at the Taken Orb and touched the Shaping Slab. Boom—Path of Ambition unlocked! And let me tell ya, the rewards? Chef’s kiss. 🎯

Standing there, swimming in loot, I couldn’t help but wonder—was all that suffering just a test? Or is ambition really this hungry beast we’re feeding? The Taken portals still haunt my dreams, hissing promises of power. But hey, what’s next? Will you dive in blind, or let the terror win? The dark’s always watching... and it’s got one heck of a poker face. 🤔
