Guide to completing the Wolves Gambit mission in Destiny's House of Wolves DLC. Learn enemy tactics, objective walkthrough, and rewards.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start the mission at the Ishtar Sink on Venus. Your objective is to enter the Vault of Glass.
- 2As you enter, you'll find Praetorians and Captains already engaged in combat. Your goal is to push through both the Vex and the Fallen forces.
- 3Proceed into the Trial of Kabr and then jump down into the Templar’s Well. Here, you'll encounter a significant number of Fallen.
- 4Keep an eye out for Stealth Vandals positioned on the outer ledges, as they'll be sniping. Down below, you'll face numerous Dregs and Shanks.
- 5Once you've landed, you'll need to destroy 6 Oracles. These Oracles have a timer of about 20 seconds before they explode, so you need to destroy them one by one. If you fail to destroy them in time, you'll lose the fight and likely have to restart the encounter.
- 6The Fallen, especially the Vandals and Dregs, will spawn rapidly and try to impede your progress as you focus on the Oracles. Sniping them from a distance is a good strategy. Using your Super abilities can also take them out quickly. If you're playing as a Defender Titan, consider placing your Ward of Dawn near the center of the area. This provides a safe zone to move through while you're destroying the Oracles.
- 7After dealing with the Oracles, you'll need to defeat the remaining Wolves. This is when Scorch Captains will appear, and they hit quite hard.
- 8You must defeat a total of four Scorch Captains. It's highly recommended to use a Super ability on the first Captain you encounter. This allows you to acquire their Scorch Cannon.
- 9When using the Scorch Cannon, remember to hold down the trigger to charge up the explosion for maximum damage. This is the most efficient way to take down the subsequent Captains.
- 10Take your time and use the cover available at the back of the platform to your advantage. Working from cover will make this part much more manageable.
- 11Once all the Scorch Captains are defeated, your mission is complete. Your final task is to Return to Petra in the Reef.
