Ascendant Anchors are a new resource that players will farm during Season of the Lost in Destiny 2. Each week, new ones will be spawned in one of the game's explorable areas. During week 1, they appear in Trostland.
There are five in total appearing in Trostland, and thankfully they aren't that awkward to find. They have an easy-to-spot pink glow and a beam of energy that extends from the anchor into the air above it, making them easier to find.
Still ascending Trostland # 1
The first is directly opposite where it spawns in Trostland on the EDZ.
Still ascending Trostland # 2
From there, continue straight and slightly left to the dilapidated building with the red sign out front to find the second one.
Still ascending Trostland # 3
Now move all the way down to the area near the main archway where public events take place. In the bottom right corner, you will find the third ascending anchor.
Still ascending Trostland # 4
The fourth Ascendant Anchor is found on some boxes in the church.
Still ascending Trostland # 5
After grabbing it, head to the right side of the church and you'll find a broken building directly ahead with the entire top floor collapsed. Jump up there to find the fight and the last remaining ascendant in Trostland.
