Guide by Matthew Reynolds Managing Editor Updated on 6 Mar 2019 Destiny 2 Nascent Dawn is a quest introduced as part of the Warmind DLC. Starting when the main story missions are over, new steps in the questline have been introduced at a pace of one per week, tasking players to explore the new features and areas released in the DLC. Along the way you'll net several rewards, including the Polaris Lance Exotic and Catalyst.

Our Warmind walkthrough explains the specific steps required to get here. Once done, return to Ana Bray in the Mars Patrol space, and you'll receive two quest items. One is the Violent Intel, used to help unlock the Sleeper Simulant, and the other is the Nascent Dawn. Found in the 'Pursuits' part of your inventory, highlighting the Nascent Dawn's icon reveals the current step you are on. It comes in 5 main parts - starting with 1/5 - with each part having multiple steps. Each part's steps require you to complete various activities associated with the Warmind DLC, with each one giving you a reward, as well as a lore entry. Each part unlocks at a pace of one per week. So if you have completed one part, you'll have to wait until the next weekly reset until you can continue going. As well as rewards throughout, it's also highly suspected the reward at the very end is a new Exotic weapon - possibly the Polaris Lance.
