Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start at the bottom of a hill in Archer's Line. Head to the accelerator and enter the left building.
  2. 2
    Hack the terminal in the back of the room with your Ghost to find information on the Guardian.
  3. 3
    After a scene, Fallen will enter the building. Use pillars for cover to defeat lesser Fallen. Be cautious of Stealth Vandals near the doorway.
  4. 4
    A Captain will drop from a platform to the right; defeat it with a Super Ability or Heavy Weapon.
  5. 5
    Outside, eliminate more Fallen, including a Captain and a Servitor. Prioritize eliminating the Servitor to prevent it from healing other enemies.
  6. 6
    Once the final group outside is eliminated, the vehicle link is established, allowing Sparrow use on the Moon.
  7. 7
    Head to the rooftop and wait for a Dreg on a Pike. Defeat the Dreg and hijack the Pike.
  8. 8
    Drive the Pike under the accelerator to the Anchor of Light, dealing with resistance using the Pike's shock cannons.
  9. 9
    Exchange the Pike for a new one before proceeding to the Temple of Crota.
  10. 10
    Inside the Temple of Crota, scan the computer with your Ghost.
  11. 11
    Before entering the temple, eliminate the Servitor and Captain near the opening.
  12. 12
    Drop down and proceed to the bottom of the hill. Hive will emerge from a large gate, turning the area into a Darkness Zone.
  13. 13
    Defeat the charging Thrall quickly, then take cover.
  14. 14
    Eliminate the Acolytes with headshots and use a grenade on the Knight.
  15. 15
    Enter the temple and follow the path to the right up the steps.
  16. 16
    Engage the Major Wizard in the long, open area. You can whittle it down from a distance or use a Super Ability or Heavy Weapon.
  17. 17
    After eliminating the Hive, revive the Dead Ghost to complete the mission.
  18. 18
    Return to the Tower and visit the Speaker to receive a Speaker’s Writ, which can be exchanged with the Gunsmith.
Tips
  • Pikes are powerful vehicles; try to acquire one as soon as possible.
  • When facing strong enemies like Knights and Wizards, use Super Abilities or Heavy Weapons for the quickest and safest elimination.
  • Use cover effectively against groups of enemies.
  • Prioritize eliminating Servitors as they heal other Fallen.
  • Speaker’s Writ (exchangeable with the Gunsmith)
