Speak with Eris Morn in the Athenaeum. 5. Visit the Lectern of Divination in the Athenaeum. 6. Visit the Ritual Table in the Athenaeum.

After these steps are done you will be assigned The Bladed Path, and you can begin the seasonal story in earnest.

*This mission is a challenging boss fight against Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites. There are three phases.

First, Leviathan-Eater and a swarm of Hive will attack. He will keep his distance, and it is relatively easy to wear down the first section of his health bar.

Next he will summon a shield, and you must pick up two Solar crystals from the far side of the map and deposit them. A large group of hive with a heavy Boomer Knight presense will need to be dealt with. Leviathan-Eater will aggressively shoot fireballs at you, but once his shield is down some power weapons will get him to his final phase.

Now he will summon a fleet of Tomb Ships to bombard you. Eris will appear, invoke hive magic to create a large defensive shield. Dozens of hive will try to swarm you. Stay in the shield, and focus primarly on taking out the Sword Knights, they are by far the biggest threat. A sword or Risk-Runner is very effective here. It may also be worth holding on to your super attack until this point.

Eventually Leviathan-Eater will charge. Get clear of him, he will start unleashing new attacks that cover the ground in flames, and they can kill you quickly. Focus on taking out the adds, then chip away at the boss from a distance until he falls.

When does The Bladed Path expire?

Often seasonal quests will stick around longer than the end of their particular season. The Season of the Witch is scheduled to end at the weekly reset on Tuesday, 28th November.

It's likely there will be some sort of epilogue mission during the final week of the Season. However, if previous updates are any indication, it is likely that Guardians who have not finished The Bladed Path, will be still be able to complete the quest steps during the next season.
