Architects are massive Remnant constructs that act as planetary bosses, found on Eos, Kadara, Voeld, and Elaaden. Each Architect fight is a multi-stage encounter involving destroying its leg conduits, attacking its head, and dealing with waves of smaller Remnant enemies. The environment plays a crucial role, offering cover and sometimes hazards. Bring squadmates with good tech damage (Overload, Incinerate) and crowd control (Shockwave, Pull) to manage the adds. The Nomad is essential for navigating the battlefield and avoiding its devastating attacks.
Architect Strategy:
- Leg Conduits: The Architect will periodically expose glowing conduits on its legs. Drive the Nomad close, exit, and focus fire on these weak points. Be ready to re-enter the Nomad and move as it retaliates.
- Head Attack: After destroying all leg conduits, the Architect will collapse, exposing its head. This is your primary damage phase. Unleash all your strongest powers and weapons.
- Remnant Adds: Throughout the fight, the Architect will summon waves of Remnant constructs. Prioritize these to prevent being overwhelmed.
- Ground Attacks & Beams: The Architect has powerful ground slams and energy beams. Use the Nomad's boost to evade or find cover behind environmental objects. Repeat phases until defeated.
