“Beat Back The Nether” Weekly Challenge In Destiny 2
The “Beat Back the Nether” challenge is a weekly objective for Destiny 2 Episode: Heresy Week 5.
The game’s description can be confusing, but the process is straightforward. You first must reach Rank 10 in the episode’s progression system.

This is necessary because only at Rank 10 can you equip enough runes to meet the five Sigil Shards requirement.
Furthermore, you need to equip Runic Enhancements that add up to at least five Sigil Shards.
For example, a Tier 3 Healing Rune and a Tier 2 Defense Rune together can meet the requirement.
Once you have the right runes equipped, simply complete three encounters in the Nether. The challenge should finish automatically.
