Salt Mines

Sector Notes:

Campaign Mission: Combustion

Enemy Clusters: Fallen: 3

Partially Inaccessible

Scannable Objects: 3

The “Salzwerk” Mine complex is only accessible via a Fallen-heavy entrance in the northern part of Trostland. It provides some interesting exploration options, but around half of the complex is inaccessible unless a mission is in play. Otherwise, you can entertain yourself by hunting Fallen throughout, as well as utilizing a Transmat to teleport to an otherwise inaccessible cliff with a view of the Shard.

Areas of Interest

Salzwerk Mine Entrance

Enter here via the north entrance in Trostland. Expect a few Fallen (Dregs, Vandals, and Shanks) in this exterior area of rusting industrial buildings, now overtaken by nature. The mine entrance is through the “Salzwerk” sign.

Outer Depot

A roughly L-shaped storage depot with a rusting elevator at the far end, next to a Transmat. There’s Fallen to contend with here as you maneuver farther into the depths of the mine itself.

Transmat

This is accessible once you’ve completed the Campaign Mission. It teleports you to the grassy cliff (the second map shown), where there’s a view of the Shard. The cliff area is used in an Adventure, but it’s otherwise mostly deserted.

Inner Yard

A second yard of rusting crates and a gantry platform to the left has a cluster of Fallen to easily tackle. Head across the far platforms to reach the old mine tunnel.

Tunnel

Drop from the rusting gantry to reach an old mine cart tunnel and barricade (if the Campaign Mission is inactive). Note the nearby Scannable Object. Progress from this point onward is not possible due to an energy barrier. This barrier is only inactive during the Campaign Mission.

Sinkhole (Inaccessible)

A sinkhole leading to the lower depths of the mine, this area is inaccessible unless the mission is active.

Laser Trap Tunnel (Inaccessible)

This area is inaccessible unless the mission is active. It’s a series of fiendish laser traps designed to waylay the wary and kill the impatient.

Main Quarry (Inaccessible)

This area is inaccessible unless the mission is active. In this large, hall-like quarry area, you face multiple Servitor threats during the Campaign Mission.

Elevator to Grassy Cliff (Inaccessible)

This area is inaccessible unless the mission is active. Once you power on the elevator (Campaign only), you can ride the elevator to the grassy cliff exterior.

Campaign Mission

Combustion

The inaccessible areas within the mine complex are maneuvered through during Campaign Mission: Combustion (which starts inside the Church in Trostland). Refer to that mission for enemies and tactics. There are no collectibles within the inaccessible areas to worry about.

Enemy Clusters

Fallen

A small squad of Vandals, Dregs, and Shanks guards the exterior entrance to the mine.

Fallen

Expect around half a dozen Vandals and a few Dregs guarding the Transmat in this depot area.

Fallen

Shanks, Dregs, Vandals, and a Fallen Captain put up more of a fight in this inner yard.
