The Espial (Mission) is one of the first missions that you will be doing after logging into Destiny 2 after the Heresy: Act I update came out.
The Vanguard has discovered that something massive has landed in the European Dead Zone, and you have been tasked to check it out.
It is vital to figure out what this object is as this originated from Oryx’s flagship, the Dreadnaught and if left unchecked, further problems may soon begin.
How To Get Espial Mission?
The Espial Mission became available with the release of the Destiny 2 Heresy: Act I episode, which puts you into the fight right away.
As soon as you log in with one of your characters, the introductory cinematic will begin and you will be placed into the Espial Mission.
Espial Mission Walkthrough
Once the mission begins, there will be an Anomalous Blight in the distance and you will need to make your way to it. (This will be tracked with a marker)
Upon reaching the Anomalous Blight, the path will be blocked and you will need to clear the Darkness Rift by shooting the marked Blight Targets.
After the Blight blocking the tunnel has been cleared, proceed making your way to the next area by following the marker to find the Source of Taken Corruption.
As you continue to make your way to the next area, you will be met with Taken combatants and will need to fight your way through them to reach another tunnel.
Upon proceeding into the tunnel, Taken Blight will suddenly spread within and you will need to retreat before you are consumed by it.
Once you exit the tunnel, you will be ambushed by Dire Taken and will need to clear them out before jumping down to the next area marked by a waypoint.
Continue making your way to the next waypoint while you fight your way past more Dire Taken combatants until you encounter the Taken Commander.
You will have to damage the Taken Commander until part of its health drops and once its health has been reduced by half, it will become immune to damage.
Destroy the Blight that spawns (they will be marked) to make the Taken Commander vulnerable and afterward, you will be able to defeat it.
After defeating the Taken Commander, there will be a nearby portal that you will need to enter and this will take you through Ascendant Space.
After entering the portal, you will be brought to a loading screen which happens to end the mission, which quickly sends you to the next one in the episode.

Upon entering the portal found after defeating the Taken Commander, the Recce Mission will be unlocked and started, allowing you to progress with the Heresy: Act I episode.
Summary
The Dreadnaught was believed to be inactive for a long time after the defeat of Oryx but suddenly strange activity began.
The arrival of the Dire Taken calls for action and something seems to be targeting what remains of the Dreadnaught and using it to turn the earth inside out.
Defeating the Taken Commander has allowed you to head to the Trenchway, which is where you will make your way to the Dreadnaught.
