Into the Depths Walkthrough
In order to start the Into the Depths quest line, you must have completed the intro quest and talked to Sloane at the Helm projector. If you have not completed that quest, we have a guide on how to complete it and unlock the seasonal artifact.

Week 3
Step 15: Speak with Saladin via the Holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
This next step of Destiny 2 Into the Depths Mission Walkthrough guide is straightforward, select the HELM in the Destinations tab and then head over to the holoprojector in the left wing by the Sonar Station. Accept the Salvage and Deep Dive Key.
Step 16: Complete the Mission “Operation Fulgurite.” Launch the mission from the Destinations tab in the H.E.L.M.
Under the Destinations Tab, select the H.E.L.M and the select the “Operation Fulgurite (Abyss)” Node. Launch the Activity.
The Mission is fairly straight forward basically serving as a tutorial for the Abyss section of Deep Dive activities. There are however two sections that may give you trouble in the underwater pressure sections. When you jump down a level you will notice a shut door behind you. Simply move forward and find the switch behind the wall to open the door to proceed.
After another drop down there is a second switch behind a pillar to open another door. Note that this will also be done during Deep Dives as well.
The boss has a minor mechanic when it hits certain damage thresholds. Simply destroy the Taken Blights when they come up to remove his immunity shield. After he is defeated, collect the coral and the chest to complete the mission.
Step 17: Complete a Deep Dive activity. Deep Dives are launched from the Destinations tab in the H.E.L.M.
This is one of the new seasonal activities, requiring 3 guardians to complete tasks in the deep. As of week 3 this will take us all the way to Abyss level, so there will be 3 sections and then a boss section. It is the same boss as the weekly mission. Simply queue for this activity from the Destinations tab in the Helm. If you are up for a challenge and want higher rewards, make sure you find the Toland lights hidden in each of the 3 puzzle sections.
Step 18: Witness the conversation at the H.E.L.M.
Go to the HELM once again and head back over to the left wing, head over to the portal and witness the conversation between the Drifter and Saladin.
Step 19: Bring the coral to Sloane in the H.E.L.M.
After the dialogue ends, proceed into the portal. At the end, you’ll find Sloan and the coral tank just like previous weeks. Simply interact with the tank to deposit the coral and then listen to the dialogue.
Step 20: Speak with Sloane via the holoprojector in the H.E.L.M.
Proceed back through the portal to the HELM and head to the holoprojector nearby to speak with Sloane. Accept your “Thin Precipice” reward
Step 21: The Vanguard will inform you once Sloane and Ahsa are ready to boost their bond again.
If you are completing this week as it becomes available, you will have to wait until Week 4 to continue. If you are playing this after week 4, week 4’s steps should begin immediately.
