How to get the evil implement catalyst in Destiny 2
Before you can get the Wicked Implement catalyst, you must first get the weapon itself. As outlined in our step-by-step guide to unlocking Wicked Implement, you’ll need to catch some exotic fish, find hidden statues in Deep Dives, and undertake a challenging secret mission.
Once you have done this, you will be eligible to earn the Catalyst. This is unlocked via a semi-random drop at the end of Deep Dives. The chance of you dropping is tied to your reward level at the end of deep dives. Lower levels have a lower chance of earning the Catalyst, while the maximum rank of Level 7 seems to have a 100% chance of giving the catalyst to eligible Guardians.
While other tiers have the potential to unlock Wicked Implement Catalyst, it is unclear if there is a minimum threshold that must be met for it to be available. Anecdotally, several Reddit users claim to have obtained the Catalyst as low as Level 5.

How to reach level 7 in deep dives in Destiny 2
If you want the Catalyst, you’ll need to focus on increasing the reward level, ideally up to level 7. To achieve this, you need to understand how deep dives work, how to increase levels, and how to use hidden pressure tests to increase them even further.
Deep dives in Destiny 2 are made up of objective-based encounters separated by journeys through the depths, with a boss fight at the end. There are three potential encounters in a single deep dive.
Each encounter begins by placing an Egregore Resonator. This starts a timer and the team is given a goal to complete during this time. If the timer reaches zero, that section ends and the fireteam is teleported to the final boss fight. Defeating the final boss allows the team to open a chest (or two if they have a Deep Dive Key) and collect rewards.
Successfully completing one of the encounters before time runs out will allow your team to advance to the next section, which starts a new objective with a new timer. It will also increase your reward level by one level. Completing the three parts preceding the boss fight will raise your team to a maximum of Reward Level 3.
To reach reward levels above 3, your team must take the optional pressure tests. Activating them makes encounters more difficult by adding additional enemies and/or an additional powerful boss at the end. These must be completed before time runs out, or the team will be sent to the final boss of Deep Dive, unable to increase the reward level further.
To start a pressure test, start by placing the Egregor resonator as usual. Now look for a floating orb of light, it will be floating somewhere in the sand. Once found, all team members must interact with it to summon darkness.
Once you do, Xivu Arath will issue a challenge and one of two things will happen. Either normal Darkness Blights (large black orbs) will spawn in the air, or Pressed Blights (puddles of Darkness) will accumulate on the ground. For normal Blights, get close to them and shoot them to destroy them. For pressurized pests, stand on them to remove them. Do this quickly, as they will disappear after a short time. If you successfully eliminate the pests, a message will appear saying Darkness Summoned. The pressure test has now been activated.
The additional enemies for Pressure Tests are very challenging and don’t give you extra time to try. It is imperative that your team quickly completes the tasks given to them and that cleaning is added as quickly as possible.
If you successfully complete a pressure test, your reward level will increase by 2 times. Advance to the next encounter, place the Resonator, and look for another Orb of Light to repeat the process. If you can complete the pressure tests in all three encounters, your team will reach reward level 7, the maximum level, and a guaranteed delivery of the Wicked Implement catalyst to anyone who is eligible.
