How to Complete Scions of the Storm King
Scions of the Storm King is the weekly prequest that controls repeat Mythic Storm King weapon drops after your first Regicide clear. You must complete the assigned Scions objective in successful Power Level 140+ missions before the weekly boss quest becomes eligible to award a Mythic Schematic Cache.
There are several possible Scions objectives, and the fastest route depends on which one you rolled. Current versions include rescuing 10 Survivors, eliminating 20 Mist Monsters, defeating 3 Mini-Bosses, completing a Storm Chest, or eliminating 300 elemental Husks in successful 140+ missions.

Scions of the Storm King does not always give the same task. Read the exact version in your quest log before farming.
Fast route for each version
For the Survivor version of Scions of the Storm King, Rescue the Survivors is the obvious choice because the mission concentrates the targets. For Mist Monsters, Destroy the Encampments can produce dense combat and multiple Mist Monster spawns. For Mini-Bosses, choose 140+ nodes that list an Epic Mini-Boss modifier.
For the Storm Chest version, scout the edges of the map early and finish the chest before committing to a long defense. For Elemental Husks, use missions with elemental storms and large defense waves so the 300 eliminations happen naturally.
Successful mission requirement
The wording on Scions of the Storm King matters: the targets must be completed in successful 140+ missions. Do not farm a counter and then abandon the objective. If the mission fails, check the quest before assuming the progress was saved.
This is particularly important for the Storm Chest version. Completing the chest is quick, but you still need the mission victory.
Do the prequest before the boss
If you defeat the Mythic Storm King before Scions of the Storm King is complete and the weekly boss quest is active, you should not expect the weekly Mythic cache. The weekly loop is prequest first, boss second.
Before launching Enter the Portal, check Weekly Quests one last time. It is a ten-second check that can save an entire boss run.
Quick answer
Scions of the Storm King is the weekly gate for repeat Mythic weapon rewards. Complete your assigned objective in successful PL140+ missions, then defeat the Mythic Storm King.
Epic says Mythic weapons are earned through a weekly series of challenging tasks culminating in the boss fight. See the official Mythic Storm King announcement.
Treat Scions of the Storm King as a checklist. Finish the exact weekly objective, confirm the boss quest appears, then run the portal. That order prevents rewardless clears.
Before your next attempt
Before another run focused on Scions of the Storm King, check the exact prerequisite, weapon role or fight transition described above instead of changing several things at once. Make sure the quest counter has updated in Homebase, repair and reload the weapons you actually need for this phase, carry enough materials for movement and horn access, and confirm the whole squad knows what happens immediately after the current objective is finished.
This matters because Scions of the Storm King is usually lost at the transition rather than during ordinary Husk clearing. A team can have enough raw damage and still fail because crystal five was triggered with someone down, a Mini-Boss was left alive, the horn weapon was not ready, or the reward quest was never active. Fix the exact failure point, then repeat the attempt with the rest of the setup unchanged so you can tell whether the change worked.
