How to start and complete the Destiny 2 Nascent Dawn mission

To start Nascent Dawn, you must first complete the Warmind DLC’s final story mission, A Piece of the Past, which requires you to have 340 Power recommended. Our Warmind tutorial explains the specific steps needed to get here.

Once this is done, return to Ana Bray in the Mars Patrol space and you will receive two mission items. One is Violent Intel, used to help unlock the Sleeper Simulant, and the other is Nascent Dawn.

It’s located in the ‘Chases’ part of your inventory and highlighting the Nascent Dawn icon reveals the current step you’re on. It comes in 5 main parts, starting with 1/5, and each part has several steps.

The steps in each part require you to complete various activities associated with the Warmind DLC, and each one grants you a reward as well as a story entry.

Each part is unlocked at a rate of one per week. So if you’ve completed a part, you’ll have to wait until the next weekly reset until you can continue.

In addition to the rewards, it is also suspected that the reward at the end is a new exotic weapon, possibly the Polaris Lance.

Thanks to benisuber on the Destiny subreddit for his help with the above.

That’s it, you must complete each step of Nascent Dawn to unlock Polaris Lance and its catalyst. It’ll take a while, but it’s something you’ll need to chip away at as you complete milestones each weekly reset, and the reward of a unique Exotic will make it worth it. Good luck!
