The Pale Heart beckons Guardians, offering to merge powers of Light and Darkness. Prove everyone that you’ve done everything there’s to do in the Final Shape by claiming this expansion’s title. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get Transcendent title Destiny 2 by completing all of the triumphs, i.e., challenges that are, frankly, pretty difficult.
Titles have always been the best way to show off other Guardians just how dedicated a player you are. Whether it is the expansion title, a raid title, or an event title, obtaining them is no easy task. Last time, we covered the Brave title, which was about playing Onslaught and collecting the weapons from the Brave arsenal. Transcendent Title has way more triumphs associated with it, and it is going to take you a lot of time to complete. This Transcendent title guide will explain each triumph and give you some ideas on how you can complete those triumphs faster.
If you don’t want to spend your time grinding the activities and completing challenges in the Pale Heart, you could just buy a Transcendent title at SkyCoach. This will save you a lot of time and nerves. This is your chance to be one of the first players in the community to have this title.

Yes, that’s a lot of loot and a lot of grinding required to claim the Transcendent title. This triumph expects that you play through everything Pale Heart has to offer, including open-world activities, quests, strikes, etc. Regarding the exotic weapons in this list, we’ve created guides for unlocking each one, so as long as you have finished the main story campaign, you can start with these. As you complete other side activities along the way, you’re going to get most of the other items. BLOG20
Inseparable
Resetting the rank of your Ghost vendor in Pale Heart requires you to reach the maximum rank level. There are 16 ranks in total and 8 Rank Rewards:
- Pale Heart Weapons
- Pale Heart Engram
- Enhancement Core
- Upgrade Module
- Enhancement Prism
- Scintillant Trajectory shader
- Ascended Shard (Rank Reset)
- Exotic Engram
How to increase this vendor’s rank? Everything you do while on Pale Heart, from defeating combatants to completing quests, earns rank progress EXP. Ghost also offers 3 quests to complete, which will also reward you with this vendor’s rep:
- Lost in the Light
- Found in the Dark
- Destined Heroes
Luckily, you’ll end up doing all these quests anyway because they lead you to some of the most powerful exotics in Final Shape. Furthermore, as you do the side activities and unlock stuff from the table above, you’ll be earning Ghost EXP along the way. Each class has
Synchronicity
Collecting the Prismatic Aspects and abilities is done via two quests called Lost in the Light and Found in the Dark. As for the Fragments, there are 21 there are:

Facet Of Grace | Attacking foes with Kinetic weapons grants bonus Transcendence energy. Super kills boost Transcendence energy for you and your allies. | -10 Resilience |

Facet Of Dominance | Void grenades apply Weaken, and Arc grenades apply Jolt to enemies. | -10 Discipline |
Fragments, on the other hand are unlocked through exploration and by completing challenges scattered all over the Pale Heart.
Based on all of the above, our advice remains the same – after the story finale, go and do the Ghost quests.
Going Fast
For this triumph, you need to complete Cyst missions relatively quickly.
Cysts are kind of like Lost Sectors, they’re a mission-type activity that features one prevailing mechanic. Your job is to find out what the mechanic is and complete the Cyst using it. Here’s a complete list of Cysts, along with their location:
Cyst Name | Description | Location |
Sword Dance | In this one, you’ll be using the Hive Knight’s sword to get through obstacles and progress through the mission. | Landing |
Searing Light | Shoot crystals to stop the fire totem from burning you and defeat the Knight boss. | Blooming |
Aerial Ace | Destroy all the Taken blights and bosses while trying to stay airborne as long as possible because “the floor is lava” in this one. | Impasse |
Moth-Infested Cavern | Defeat the bosses in the caverns while minding pesky explosive moths. | Landing |
Slayer Trial | Kill the Hive Lightbearers that drop elemental orbs and throw them at the Ogre to complete this mission. | Blooming |
Smothering Darkness | While not being able to sprint or jump, you need to kill Taken bosses and blights. | Impasse |
There are six Cysts in total, but only 3 of them are available at a time. Don’t worry, you can redo these missions later. Besides, you need to do them for a quest about the Khvostov Exotic, where you need to collect the Lost Encryption bits.
Lighting the Future
This triumph has a super vague objective, but what it ultimately requires from you is completing the Final Shape campaign and Excision, which is a 12-player activity available in the first Episode: Echoes. After both are completed, you need to land in Pale Heart one more time to unlock the triumph.
Pale Heart Pathfinder
So, this one is relatively straightforward – you need to complete and reset the destination’s Pathfinder. We have an entire guide dedicated to this system, but in short, Pathfinder has replaced the bounties from vendors. Pale Heart has its own unique version of Pathfinder that is comprised of challenges exclusive to this destination. Do not do the general Pathfinder that you can find by clicking on either Vanguard, Gambit or Crucible icons in the Destinations menu.
Blessed
For this triumph, you need to collect all 25 Traveler’s Blessings. These blessings are destination mods that offer powerful effects while you’re staying in the Pale Heart. You can collect them by completing the Overthrow activity and clearing Lost Sectors. Doing them guarantees at least one Blessing per day.
Conclusion
These triumphs are no joke! But this makes the Transcendent title even more desirable. The harder it is to get the title, the more respect you’ll get for having it. Seeing how this is the final expansion in Destiny 2, Transcendent is a little bit more than just another expansion’s title and you better believe it that everyone right now is on that Transcendent title getting hunt. It’s the last expansion’s title. Unlocking it means that you’ve been there and witnessed the culmination of the Light and Darkness saga.
With this guide, we aimed to supply you with some clarification about certain triumphs and their objectives that could sound confusing. So, hopefully, now you have a good idea of what you’re into and what needs to be done. Until next time, don’t forget to check out our other Final Shape guides!
