Step 1 - Eventide Ruins

You'll load into Eventide ruins. From the spawn, head straight into the abandoned building, clear it out, and then can sparrow down the hatch that opens to a staging area that has a few pikes parked atop it. You don't need to use the pikes; your sparrow is fine! However, if you are into triumphs...

Your mission starts here - locate the Deep Stone Crypt.

Hop onto your sparrow, and head toward the left. Exiting the bubble, you'll notice a Frostbite affliction that begins to stack. At 10x, you're dead. Your task is to get from staging area to staging area to warm up before this debuff stacks.

Each staging area has a teleporter that leads to its predecessor. It can be helpful if your teammates are lost, and you must help them find the way. Use the attached map to navigate your way to the end of the encounter.

Be a nice teammate, and kill the adds at each staging area.

After killing a Brig at the last staging area, you’ll reach a door, and the first encounter is complete.


Step 2 - CRYPT SECURITY

Roles

  • 2 Teams (3 guardians per team)

    • 1 Operator breaks off and heads into the basement

SETUP

  • Two areas: A service level divided into Light and Dark, and a basement level that has operable panels.

    • If you pay close attention, you’ll notice that the basement is also divided into dark and light (data towers versus coolant pipes).

  • Have one team on Light and another on Dark before you start the encounter (the doors shut)

  • Start the encounter by using the Augmentation Terminal (like in Seraph’s Shield) to pick up the Operator buff.

    • You can pass buffs using the Terminals, but

    • Sentinels prevent using the Terminals (so kill those fast to survive the mechanics)

  • A Guardian can never have both Operator and Scanner buffs simultaneously, communication is important for this reason.

FLOW

  • One guardian picks up Operator from the Terminal - the Operator can shoot red keypads to actuate them.

    • Operator, go straight to the upper map area and shoot keypads to open the hatch to the basement - down here, you will see that all keypads are red. Don’t shoot, you need guidance. Welcome.

  • As teams are clearing adds, one spawns with Scanner - someone will have to pick that up.

  • Scanner’s job, is to guide Operator, essentially telling them what to shoot.

    • Scanner, you have to look down through the windows in the floor, and tell Operator which pad is glowing yellow so that it can be shot.

    • Use the map on the right as callouts. It’s less confusing.

TIPS

  • Operator is red, and allows you to operate data pads

  • Scanner, allows you to see things others can’t (panels, enemies, etc.)
