Follow this Destiny walkthrough for The Shrine of Oryx mission. Learn how to defeat Exiled Baron Frigoris, an Ogre, and Sardok, the Eye of Oryx, to progress.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head down towards the Gatehouse in the Hellmouth, engaging Acolytes and three Cleaver Knights. Backpedal and use close-range weapons for headshots.
  2. 2
    As you reach the Gatehouse, let the Fallen and Hive fight, then eliminate all remaining enemies, including a Hive Wizard and Fallen Servitor. Use a Heavy Weapon or Sniper Rifle for these.
  3. 3
    Proceed to face Exiled Baron Frigoris. Be aware of Stealth Vandals attempting to sneak up on you while engaging Dregs and Acolytes. Use Heavy rounds to defeat the Baron.
  4. 4
    Maintain a safe distance from the Baron until other Fallen are cleared, paying special attention to Stealth Vandals.
  5. 5
    Enter the Hall of Wisdom, a Darkness Zone leading to the Circle of Bones. Use cover to pick off Fallen and Hive enemies.
  6. 6
    Clear out Acolytes, a Knight, and a Wizard blocking the path to the shrine.
  7. 7
    An Ogre and some Acolytes will emerge. Use a Super Ability and Heavy Weapon to defeat the Ogre.
  8. 8
    Move forward to face waves of Thrall and a Knight just before the shrine.
  9. 9
    Deploy your Ghost at the Shrine of Oryx to awaken Sardok, the Eye of Oryx Knight.
  10. 10
    Engage Sardok, an Ultra Knight. Use Super Abilities and Heavy Weapons for quick damage.
  11. 11
    At 70% and 35% health, Sardok will call for backup: a Wizard and some Knights. Prioritize defeating the Wizard to avoid its slowing darkness.
  12. 12
    After defeating Sardok, return to the Tower to choose a new Primary Weapon.
