Guide your Guardian through Destiny's Restoration mission on Earth. Learn how to navigate The Steppes, tackle Dock 13, and defeat Riksis, the Devil Archon.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start in The Steppes, a pretty large zone with plenty of cliffs, valleys, sheds, bunkers, and Fallen to deal with. You might even run into other Guardians in the middle Public Area. Don't worry too much about clearing every enemy, as they respawn over time. Your first objective is to head past a big shed and find a crashed ship. Your Ghost will do its thing and inspect it.
- 2After checking out the ship, head back to that large shed you passed earlier. Inside, you'll find more Fallen. The easiest way to deal with them is to toss a grenade in to flush them out. Once they're dealt with, head down the steps. You'll encounter a few more Fallen down there, and importantly, a map that your Ghost will scan. This is actually the mission select screen, so you'll get a good look at it.
- 3After scanning the map, climb back up and keep an eye out for any Fallen that might have wandered back into the shed. Once you're clear, return to where you first landed and find the stairs leading up the side of a large installation. Head inside.
- 4As soon as you enter the installation, look to your left. You'll spot your first Gold Loot Chest sitting on a table. Grab it for some sweet gear!
- 5Next up, you'll be heading into Dock 13, which is a Darkness Zone. This means it's a private area where only you and your Fire Team can fight. If you die in here, you'll be sent back to the beginning of the zone, so be careful. This first Darkness Zone isn't too difficult, and you should reach the boss pretty quickly.
- 6Once you've cleared out all the Fallen in the final room, Riksis, the Devil Archon will burst through a hole in the wall. He's a bit tougher than the enemies you've faced so far. His weak spot is his head, but he'll only really flinch from Special Weapon shots. Use your grenade to take out any Vandals that show up to help him, and keep unloading on Riksis.
- 7With the Warp Drive secured, the mission will be complete!
Tips
- The Steppes is a large area, so take your time exploring. You might find other things besides the mission objectives.
- Enemies in The Steppes respawn, so if you need to farm for anything or just want some extra practice, you can always come back.
- Use the pillars in the final room as cover when fighting Riksis and his allies.
- Save your grenade for the Vandals that appear with Riksis, or use it to soften up Riksis himself if you're struggling.
- Focus fire on Riksis's head for critical damage, especially with Special Weapons.
