Destiny 2: Ager’s Scepter Quest And Atlas Skews Guide

Quick Links

Season of the Lost has brought two new Exotic weapons to Destiny 2: Lorentz Driver and Ager's Scepter. The former is an Energy Linear Fusion Rifle, and the latter is a Stasis Trace Rifle that resides in the Kinetic slot. You'll need to complete a questline to obtain Ager's Scepter, but it's unfortunately time-gated.

Each week, Queen Mara Sov will ask you to hunt down Atlas Skews. You'll need to retrieve five of them each week for four weeks before you can obtain this weapon. This guide will cover how to obtain the first set of Atlas Skews, with future sets being added to this guide as they're released. By the time the gun is officially out, this will serve as a comprehensive guide on how to obtain Ager's Scepter. For now, let's go over the steps you can complete.

Note: This quest is currently time-gated. We'll be updating this guide every week to cover each new quest step. Stay tuned.

How To Start The Ager's Scepter Quest

After you complete Season of the Lost's introductory mission, make your way to the H.E.L.M. The Awoken wing of the hub will have a portal that will lead you to Mara Sov's chamber. Speak to Mara Sov to receive the "Tracing the Stars" quest. She'll ask you to locate Atlas Skews tied to Ager's Scepter.

A Quick Note About Quest Progression

Before we start with the guide proper, it's important to note that this quest is time-gated. It seems that you'll need four sets of Atlas Skews to get your hands on Ager's Scepter. Unfortunately, you can only access one set of Skews as of writing. A new set of Atlas Skews should release on each weekly reset, meaning this weapon should become available starting September 14th. It's currently unknown if this quest has a catch-up mechanic.

Tracing The Stars I – Week 1 Atlas Skew Locations

You'll find the first set of Atlas Skews in the Dreaming City. There are five in total. Fortunately, the quest description gives a fairly good idea of where you can find each Skew. If you aren't too familiar with the Dreaming City, we'll cover where you can find all five of them.

Note: Don't grab any Atlas Skews until you have started the quest. Otherwise, this quest will be impossible to complete. Progress is not retroactive.

Atlas Skew #1: Divalian-Rheasilvia Path, Lower Cliffside

Location: Divalian Mists (northern cliffside)

From spawn, hop on your Sparrow and head to the northern cliffside of the area. Get off your Sparrow, then look down the cliffside. You should see the Skew floating on a platform near the bottom—the same platform that leads to a cave with a cat statue. Jump down to grab the Skew. Fast travel back to Divalian Mists to continue the search.

Atlas Skew #2: Divalian-Cimmerian Path, Central Cave

Expand

Location: Divalian Mists (central cave)

This is arguably the most confusing one, mainly because a "Cimmerian" location doesn't exist. Atlas Skew #2 is located in the middle of Divalian Mists in a cave facing the coast. Hop onto your Sparrow and drive northeast until the shore meets a rock wall (located on the "T" in "Mists" on your map). Enter the cave in the wall to find the Skew.

Atlas Skew #3: Drowned Bay, Alcove

Location: Bay of Drowned Wishes Lost Sector

"Drowned Bay" is referring to the Bay of Drowned Wishes Lost Sector, located right behind the Divalian Mists spawn point. Enter the Lost Sector, clear out the first group of enemies, then follow the rock wall on your right. It'll lead you out of the cave and towards a small alcove that the Skew is floating in.

Atlas Skew #4: Spine Oracle, Orrery

Expand

Location: Spine of Keres (Oracle tower)

"Spine Oracle" is the tower you present an Offering of an Oracle to. This tower is located in the Spine of Keres. You can reach it by reaching the northwest corner of the Dilvaian Mists and following the dirt path west. Enter the giant tower, then climb up the staircase on your right. The Atlas Skew will be floating beside a wall on the top floor.

Atlas Skew #5: Distant Spine Island Tree

Expand

Location: Spine of Keres (shore)

From the fourth Skew location, make your way down the Oracle tower. Exit the tower from the southern entrance and follow the path. It'll lead you to a barren coastline dotted with small islands. The last island you reach before reaching the coastline has the Atlas Skew. It'll be resting beside a tree.

Connect The Atlas Skews To An Atlas Terminal

Once you've found a set of Atlas Skews, you'll be able to start up a story mission called "A Hollow Coronation." This mission will take you to a special vault in the Dreaming City where you can store your Skews. There's no combat in this mission; it's entirely dialogue.

When the mission's over, head back to the H.E.L.M. The Wayward Compass will give you a Vulpecula Hand Cannon as thanks. You'll be able to find the second set of Skews on the next weekly reset.
