How to Unlock the Dreaming City in Destiny 2

One of the big talking points in the lead-up to the release of Destiny 2: Forsaken, was the Dreaming City, a fabled Awoken stronghold that holds many secrets. Unfortunately, the Dreaming City is not somewhere you can go straight away, as the gates are closed to those deemed unworthy. Luckily for you, we have the tips and guides you’ll need to gain access to this mysterious locale and unlock the Patrol Zone there.

How to Unlock the Dreaming City

The Dreaming City is locked away behind several steps and tasks, with the first and most important one being completing the main campaign. Once you complete the campaign, speaking with Petra Venj will reward you with the Broken Awoken Talisman item.

To access the Dreaming City, players will need to repair the Broken Awoken Talisman, which is its own quest chain, then complete a difficult Power 500 mission titled Beyond the Watchtower. The hardest part of this quest chain is making sure you can handle facing off against high power enemies, so getting as close to Power 500 as possible should be the first goal.

Once that mission is complete, the Dreaming City will be unlocked, and you’ll have full access to the area. There are plenty of secrets hidden away in the Dreaming City, so start hunting for them all. For more helpful tips in the latest expansion, check out our guide on mass deleting shaders, here.
