Enemy Races: Fallen, Hive

Suggested Damage Types: Arc, Solar

Rewards: XP Bonus

Mission Unlocked: -

Objective: Enter the Hive Fortress

Location: Archer’s Line

Drive your Sparrow up the hill on the other side of the accelerator, fight through the Fallen, and cut through the dome structure. Continue down the hill, take out the two Major Knights, and enter the Hive fortress. Descend the steps and drop down to the bottom level. Follow the trail and continue into the Hall of Wisdom.

Location:Hall of Wisdom

Acolytes accompany a couple Knights and a Wizard ahead. Use a long-ranged weapon from the doorway to weaken the threat and continue down the steps. With the area clear, push into the second half of the hall where a bigger challenge looms. A Knight and Shrieker await your arrival as a Hive drop ship enters the room. Thrall, Acolytes, and a Wizard join the fray. Take out as many of the Hive as you can from a distance and move in to clear out the rest. It is important to note that the Shrieker is only vulnerable when it opens up to fire. Exit the room and follow the path into the Circle of Bones.

Objective: Find the Knight

Location: Circle of Bones

This area is a Darkness Zone, so don’t do anything too risky. Watch out for weapon fire from the Hive dropships that enter the zone as you move through it. They introduce Acolytes, a Knight, and a Wizard. When you encounter the second group of Hive, look to the right to find a tall fence partially blocking access to a small, circular floor. Jump over it or move around the outside to find the Major Knight. Immediately dodge behind cover and work on the accompanying Acolytes and Wizard before taking down this boss. Stay on the move to avoid the Knight’s explosive projectiles.Objective:Find the World’s Grave

Location:The World’s Grave

Continue through the opening at the far end of Circle of Bones to reach The World’s Grave.

Objective:Push Back the Hive

Drop down to the bottom floor and enter the narrow cave to find a slew of Thrall awaiting your arrival. Mow them down with your short-range gun and follow the passage into a Darkness Zone. Once your presence is known, more Thrall attack while Acolytes and a Knight concentrate their fire on you from afar. In the final room, you can surprise the Hive Knights and Acolytes by hitting one with a long-range headshot. Use the provided cover to avoid the enemies’ weapon fire as you clear out the room.

Objective:Open the World’s Grave

Run over to the far platform, reload your weapons if needed, and deploy your Ghost to open the World’s Grave. This attracts a whole bunch of Hive, so prepare yourself for a blitz.

Objective:Fight Off the Hive

Thrall, Cursed Thrall, Acolytes, Knights, and a Wizard attack in three waves. Take out the Thrall quickly or the number of Hive units may overwhelm you. The Knights present the biggest danger, however. Boomer Knights fire their explosive projectiles from the far side, while Cleaver Knights move in close. A good auto rifle or shotgun is invaluable here for whittling down the numerous warriors of the Hive. If you can, save your super ability for the two Cleaver Knights who appear on the right side during the third wave. Finishing off the final foe in this area completes the mission.
