Anchor Chasm

Variations: Hobgoblins on the upper ledges, Cabal forces (Sub-Boss Centurion) in the main L-shaped ledge.
Enter the gaping chasm and look to the right from the entrance perch. Snipe the Goblins on the lower block “bridge,” and then jump to it. Watch your step: aside from the ledges to leap to, this is a bottomless crevasse. Look out for Hobgoblins sniping from the far blocks on the upper and lower areas. Have one of your team jump to the higher plinth attached to the right wall, as there’s a good view (and you can step back into cover). Here, you can spot the Goblins, Fanatics, and two Hydras roaming the L-shaped main ledge to the exit, and lob grenades at them with impunity. You must defeat all these foes, and wading in is a little more dangerous due to the possible death drops along the inner side of the ledge.
However, at least one of your team should try this to cause a distraction. The ledge is wide enough for you to dodge incoming fire. Once you’ve defeated one or both Hydras, press forward.
There is a sunken area with a Vex catapult slightly off the side of the ledge, but milling around here just gets you shot at. You can use it to outflank the foes by landing down here, jumping up to the exit passage, and then turning to face down remaining foes. However, this isn’t as cunning of a plan, as you can easily miss the catapult or get confused in the sunken darkness of this lower platform.
