Complete the Keys to the Past mission in Tempest Rising by locating Dataslates and Gene Seeds, and defeating the Hive Tyrant.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Search the massive derelict ship for Dataslates and Gene Seeds hidden in Supply Crates. Other crates contain rare wargear.
  2. 2
    Expect mutated Tyranids which are not difficult to deal with.
  3. 3
    Use Cluster Mines (explosive devices that detonate when enemies approach) against the three Carnifexes that appear on the southern corner of the map.
  4. 4
    Capture the central Relay Beacon (a point that can be captured to gain control of an area or unlock objectives) and terminal to open the gate towards the target location.
  5. 5
    Fight the mutated Hive Tyrant (a powerful boss enemy) with 382800 HP.
  6. 6
    The Hive Tyrant calls reinforcements and has a powerful Bioplasma Barrage (area-of-effect attack) AoE attack (attack that hits multiple targets in an area).
  7. 7
    Close in with the Force Commander to deliver explosive blows using Battle Cry (an ability that buffs allies or damages enemies).
  8. 8
    Switch with Tarkus using Taunt (an ability that draws enemy attention) to Fall Back and recover health.
  9. 9
    Use Cluster Mines if you find Tyrant Guards troublesome.
Tips
  • Deployment on this ship is time-limited; any more than that risks Corruption (a negative status effect or game over condition).
  • The Hive Tyrant has a powerful Bioplasma Barrage AoE attack.
  • Use Battle Cry with the Force Commander for explosive blows.
  • Use Taunt with Tarkus to draw aggro and recover health.
  • Cluster Mines are effective against Carnifexes and Tyrant Guards.
