History of Taken Paths

Taken Paths are the path system of Episode: Heresy. Each path has its own reputation track on the Shaping Slab, the season's vendor in Eris Morn's Apartment in The Last City. Path of Resolve is the first path, unlocked during the story, and later Acts open the others, including Path of Ambition.

You switch paths by attuning your Taken Power at the Slab. Attunement also changes how the Barrow-Dyad Exotic perk behaves.

Reaching the maximum Slab rank while attuned to Path of Resolve earns Mastery: Path of Resolve, which one guide gives as Rank 16. Reaching the maximum rank on the Path of Ambition is a separate triumph. The Chosen Path triumph requires completing the Exotic quest The Taken Path, which was introduced in Act I.

The guides date from the season's 2025 launch, so the rank values may have changed since.
