Awakening

"The gates of hell are open night and day; smooth the descent, and easy is the way: but to return, and view the cheerful skies, in this the task and mighty labor lies." —Dryden

Overview

Awakening is a story mission from Destiny 2: Forsaken set in The Dreaming City. It follows A Hum of Starlight, which is started by speaking to Petra Venj at the Watchtower after the Forsaken campaign (the defeat of The Voice of Riven) is complete. Players go straight from A Hum of Starlight into Awakening, and finishing it unlocks full access to the Dreaming City. The mission is listed at Power 500 (the original Forsaken-era value), so it is trivial at endgame levels.
