Battle through Crossed Blades Act III and claim your rewards in Destiny 2’s Episode

Step 1: The adventure starts in the Throne World of Eris, and there's a bit of setting up one needs to do to get to this location. Start your quest by teleporting to Eris' flat in the Last City; access the Hive rift inside. You will arrive in a rather strange, unsettling and creepy environment that will be the battleground for this phase in the quest once inside. Sit tight, though, as a really significant conversation will take place between Eris and Oryx. Here, the aforementioned tension in the main storyline is heightened with an important development leading into the next part of its conflict.

Step 2: Then you have to complete this new spin-take on a familiar challenge: the mission called Sunless Cell Strike. Like a classic Strike, it takes your straightforward objective marker-follow-kill the baddies-final boss fight format. There is some heavy opposition in this Strike, but seasoned Guardians shouldn't have a problem getting through it with the right strategy and coordination in their fireteams.Step 3:The Sunless Cell Strike completes, returning to the Slab found within Eris' flat. Here, it will give you access to a batch of six new missions still pending. If these missions do not appear immediately, try refreshing the inventory or switching instances to prompt them to load.Step 4:After all the side missions are completed in the Slab, it's back to Eris' Throne World to witness a momentous event in the history of fate. Inside, tell Echo of Navigation, and claim your justly deserved rewards. Then another major cut-scene unfolds to develop the unfolding story further.

Combat challenges and augmentations

In the course of the quest, the player is going to get opportunities to plunk down Lucent Hive bosses in a fight. These individuals come with immunity shields making them the strongest foes in the game. Further shielding has to be destroyed before the foes can be harmed through the completion of specific encounter mechanics, which range from attacking while under a specific symbol to wielding Hive Swords. Unique modifications to these battles will come from available augmentations. Those augmentations may range from damage multipliers, to mechanics that mean speedy adaptability. No locked-loadouts in place would only mean that you have to switch weapons and abilities to counter the challenge.
