In “Starcrossed,” you’ll enterprise into the Black Backyard with Riven and Crow to tackle a military of Vex. Your reward? The brand new Strand Unique bow: Want-Keeper — which is ready to deploy a Suspending entice after getting sufficient kills or precision hits.
On this Future 2 information, we’ll stroll you thru the right way to full the Starcrossed mission and discover its secret chest.
The best way to beat the ‘Starcrossed’ Unique mission in Future 2
“Starcrossed” is, primarily, only a straight line with a number of stops alongside it, so this information will focus much less on the place to go and extra on how the mission’s three major mechanics work: Sire’s Obligation, Dam’s Present, and Topped by Dragons. Let’s break it down.
Sire’s Obligation
Your first massive mechanic, which you get simply earlier than the primary main encounter, is a buff referred to as Sire’s Obligation. You may get it from standing in a blue pool that seems in some flowers by a locked gate. It lasts without end when you’re standing within the pool, however solely lasts 45 seconds as soon as you permit.
Sire’s Obligation permits you to harm Stubborn enemies and permits you to see the Final Want symbols. Use the buff to defeat the primary Stubborn Phalanx and open the door.
You’ll put Sire’s Obligation to sensible use within the first encounter. Get the buff from one of many swimming pools and look to the gate on the finish of the world. You’ll see three symbols in a random order. You’ll must test the order your self each time, however for the sake of this information, let’s use this order for example: Dragon, Fish, Chook.
Now, along with your buff (be sure that to resume it in the event you run out of time), run across the area and search for Stubborn Phalanx enemies. There are three of them, every residing underneath one of many three symbols you noticed on the door. Defeat them within the order of the mixture on the door (Dragon, Fish, Chook, for this instance) and also you’ll open the best way. Defeat them within the flawed order, and so they’ll all respawn.
Dam’s Present
Dam’s Present is the second mechanic on this mission, and comes from a crimson puddle that comes from sure flower patches. It lasts for a similar period of time as Sire’s Obligation.
Dam’s Present permits you to stroll into the orange mist, which you’ll encounter for the primary time simply forward of the primary crimson flower patch. With out Dam’s Present, you’ll take harm contained in the mist and get the Unwelcome debuff, which can finally kill you. Nonetheless, you’re protected within the mist so long as you preserve Dam’s Present.
After you run via the preliminary mist, you’ll want to make use of Dam’s Present to finish the second encounter. You’ll discover a crimson puddle in a small area and three passageways lined in orange mist: left, proper, and center. Use Dam’s Present to stroll every of those paths and shortly kill the Gatekeeper Wyvern’s inside. As soon as the Wyvern is lifeless, a defend will disappear over a Vex node, which you’ll work together with.
Repeat this course of till you’ve killed three Gatekeeper Wyverns and interacted with all three nodes within the area to finish the problem.
Topped by Dragons
On the finish of the mission, you’ll want to mix these two buffs collectively. Whenever you enter the subsequent area, head to the left to get Sire’s Obligation and to the correct to get Dam’s Present. After getting them each, the buff will remodel right into a single buff: Topped by Dragons.
Whilst you have Topped by Dragons, you’ll be capable of see symbols, harm Stubborn enemies, and traverse the orange mist. Working via both buff will renew Topped by Dragons again to 45 seconds.
With Topped by Dragons in hand, look to the large door within the middle of the room to get your lock mixture. Then, run across the room and kill the Stubborn enemies within the right order. There’s one Stubborn enemy in the primary room, and one in every of the world’s two wings. As a way to get to the wings, you’ll must traverse orange mist, so ensure you by no means lose Topped by Dragons.
The best way to beat Akardon, Pitiless Thoughts, in Future 2
When you open the door, proceed right down to the ultimate boss, which is a large Vex Hydra: Akardon, Pitiless Thoughts. You’ll be able to harm the boss from the beginning of the struggle so long as you’ve Topped by Dragons. Nonetheless, you should have a a lot simpler time killing the boss in the event you take away its rotating defend, which tends to dam lots of incoming harm in the event you don’t time your photographs effectively.
To do that, use Topped by Dragons to kill each of the Pitiless Attendant Phalanx enemies within the room with the Hydra. As soon as they’re each lifeless, the boss will lose its defend and begin spawning Taken enemies. Kill it shortly after which proceed into the treasure room to complete the mission.
Future 2 ‘Starcrossed’ secret chest location
Whenever you first begin “Starcrossed,” you’ll be in an space with a giant chasm, and might want to bounce throughout some plant leaves. The primary a part of this space is pretty open, however you’ll finally want to show proper and stroll throughout a large tree department, which can lead you to a slim opening and the remainder of the mission.
When you flip and hit that massive tree department, cease. As a substitute of constant alongside, look down and round you. You’ll discover an edge that leads right into a small alcove.
Head down into this small space and also you’ll discover a Dreaming Metropolis chest nuzzled in opposition to the wall. Open it for a Season of the Timeless weapon.
For those who’re scuffling with this chest, I like to recommend placing the Wombo Detector Ghost Shell mod on, which can will let you detect close by treasure chests and sources.
