Navigate Destiny's The Nexus mission with our detailed walkthrough. Learn enemy tactics, boss strategies for Sekrion, and optimal farming methods for Engrams.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head through the Ishtar Commons into the N/Gen Branch. Clear Fallen enemies on the left side, including a Major Servitor that spawns two more upon defeat. Retreat to the entrance to engage the new Servitors and accompanying Vandal and Captain enemies from a distance.
  2. 2
    Proceed to the second floor and enter Dig Site 4. Clear out the Vex and Fallen, being cautious of Vex spawning near the entrance. Prioritize taking out Hobgoblins with a Sniper Rifle and Minotaurs with a Fusion Rifle.
  3. 3
    Continue through a cave where a large pack of Goblins will attack. This area is good for farming Engrams; reach the ledge before the drop into the Nexus for a checkpoint, then intentionally die to respawn before the Goblins. Repeat as needed.
  4. 4
    Leap into the Nexus area and clear out the remaining Vex, including Minotaurs. Use the upper and lower areas for cover against additional Vex that spawn midway through the fight.
  5. 5
    When Sekrion, the Ultra Hydra, emerges, spread out to avoid its cannon fire. Target its glowing yellow eye for Precision damage. Conserve Super Abilities and Grenades for the large waves of Vex that spawn randomly on both sides of the room. Sekrion will eventually fall.
Tips
  • In the N/Gen Branch, after defeating the initial Major Servitor, fall back to the entrance to gain a tactical advantage against the reinforcements.
  • In Dig Site 4, be aware of Vex spawning near the entrance and use appropriate weapon types (Sniper Rifle for Hobgoblins, Fusion Rifle for Minotaurs).
  • The Nexus area before the final boss is an excellent spot for Engram farming. Utilize the checkpoint system by dying after reaching the ledge before the drop.
  • During the Sekrion fight, spreading out is crucial to avoid heavy damage from its cannons. Focus fire on its weak spot (the yellow eye) and be prepared to deal with waves of adds.
