Finding Ascendant Chest locations in Destiny 2 is the key step in this week’s Riven’s Wishes quest. If you’ve switched off after finishing the seasonal story, these new weekly quests are a rare opportunity to acquire Wish Tokens, which you can spend on red border weapons from the Last Wish raid, as well as a variety of exotics and pricey materials.
Last week’s challenge was all about completing lost sectors, but this week requires you to find specific chests in the Dreaming City. Since these chests change on a weekly rotation as the city shifts, there are only ten available right now. Luckily, you only need seven to get this done. All that said, here are the Ascendant Chest locations for completing the second Riven’s Wish, plus how to get the Tincture of Queensfoil you need to see them.
How to get Tincture of Queensfoil

As mentioned, you’ll need to have the Ascendance buff in order to see the platforms required to access Ascendant Chests. You can get this by consuming Tincture of Queensfoil, which you can purchase from Petra Venj in the Dreaming City for Legendary Shards. Her location changes week by week, but as of this week you’ll find her in The Strand. Each Tincture lasts for around 30 minutes and they’re pretty cheap, too.
