Mastery: Path of Resolve

Overview

Mastery: Path of Resolve is a Triumph from Episode: Heresy. It requires reaching the top reputation rank at the Shaping Slab while attuned to the Path of Resolve Taken power path. The triumph is worth 10 score.

The Shaping Slab is a Taken artifact owned by Eris Morn and is the vendor for Episode: Heresy. It offers two paths, Path of Resolve and Path of Ambition. Each has its own reputation track, and you can only earn reputation for the path you are attuned to.

How to complete

1. Attune to the Path of Resolve at the Shaping Slab. You unlock it through the story, and you can change attunement later at the Slab.
2. Raise reputation to the target rank. A March 2025 guide gives Rank 16 as the target. Rank numbers may have changed since.
3. Earn Taken Mastery, the reputation currency, from these sources:

• Nether boss challenges are the most consistent source. Advanced first and second bosses give 75 points solo or 100 in a group. The advanced third boss gives 100 solo or 125 in a group. Leaving the Nether for any reason, including a wipe or disconnect, forfeits the reputation and loot, so finish the encounters, the boss, and the final chest. A run takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
• Metastasized Essentia collected in the Dreadnaught gives 200 points per turn-in of ten, at the Taken altar in Eris Morn's flat. Essentia stays fleeting until you complete a boss encounter.
• Taken orbs can be broken anywhere. Each gives 5 points plus Sigil Stones.

Early reputation levels cost a few hundred points, and later ones cost 1,000 or more. Opening random loot chests gives no Taken Mastery.
