I went into the Dreaming City Lost sector and was burning to death the taken there trying to get the Polaris Lance perfect 5th kills to finish the catalyst. But nada!
Is this catalyst quest bugged?

But the long of the short is this: You aren't trying to blow things up with perfect fifth: It has burn damage. You need to place perfect fifth on or near an enemy so that it Burns to death
I got it, had to use the ascendant challenge to get it.
Just checking, you probably already know. The kills towards the catalyst need to be kills from the explosion on the perfect 5th not the headshot. So kills from weak enemies standing next to the guy you hit with the explosive shot.
Yup. I get the 5th then shoot a cluster on the ground.
Damn. Must be bugged then my dude!
I'll try the ascendant challenge trick.
That did it. It was being overly picky.
Unfortunately, this statement is inaccurate. You could blow things up from perfect fifth repeatedly and get no progress, As I stated, you need to Burn your targets to death with the burn FROM Perfect Fifth.
