Sector Notes:
Strike Mission: The Inverted Spire
Usually Inaccessible
This entire Sector is a huge expanse of exterior ground, deadly bottomless mist chasms, and a massive drilling operation undertaken by the Cabal. It is out of bounds unless you are attempting to complete the Strike: The Inverted Spire.
Areas of Interest
Exit to The Anchor (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. The exit from the Anchor leads you to a spectacular vista overlooking the main drilling operation on Nessus.
Stepping Stones (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. A series of giant pillars and islands stretch up from the bottomless chasm below. Expect Cabal at every island you land on as you double-jump to the circular promontory at ground level.
Vex Paths (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. Ride your Sparrow and navigate any of the pathways (there are around four) that are reasonably parallel to one another, all leading to the crater field. The Vex are active in this area.
Crater Field (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. This open field of craters has received recent bombardment. Cabal are attempting to thwart you; push on to the base.
Cabal Mining Base (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. This base has a couple of sub-bosses to neutralize. Charge either of the energy cannons before you can catapult yourself at the drill rig to the west.
Drill Rig (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. Descend into the circular platform below the rig tower, and prepare to repel a wide variety of dangerous Cabal until the energy cannon you programmed to move reaches its position. Then, you can catapult yourself southwest.
Vex Gorge (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. Work your way along this massive gorge with a deadly drop between two ledge sections. Cross at the islands as you continue heading southwest.
Quarry (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. Work your way counterclockwise around the grooves the massive digging arms have made, optionally darting into the alcoves to avoid being slain as the arms continue to spin around. You’re heading to the exit on the western side of the quarry.
Exit to The Inverted Spire (Inaccessible)
This area is inaccessible unless the Strike is active. A narrow Vex passageway connects to the final chamber of the Strike: The Inverted Spire.
