The '''Archon's Forge''' is an [[Arena]] that can be initiated as a [[Public Event]] in the [[Plaguelands]]. In order for an event to start, [[Guardian]]s must insert, into a console, SIVA Offerings of various rarities which can be found by killing any enemy in the Plaguelands, although the drop rate for them is random. Once the event has started, players will engage in a five-minute long brawl with [[Devil Splicers|Splicers]], which must be killed in time for a boss to appear at the end of the round. There are three tiers of bosses: Fused, Enhanced, and Perfected. Each tier is more difficult than the last, but the more difficult the boss is, the greater the rewards will be for killing them. If a player dies during the event and then respawns them-self, they can rejoin the fight by inserting [[Splicer Key]]s into the console to unlock the entrance. | |||

There are at least two [[patrol]]s available in the Plaguelands that require passage through Archon's Forge in order to obtain the necessary information or locate a specific ""bounty" or "target". One of these missions requires a Splicer Key which opens the entrance to the Forge. Once either one of these patrols have been completed the player has to backtrack through the Forge to make it back to the Plaguelands.

Once either one of these patrols have been completed the player has to backtrack through the Forge to make it back to the Plaguelands. In many cases there may be a battle or Public Event already taking place when the player reaches the arena. | ||

*If one's Light level is relatively low and/or they feel unprepared just fall back about 50-100 feet down the small tunnel and wait for the battle to play its course. The longest the battle may last is five minutes but usually its over relatively quick, especially if there are experienced Guardians. | *If one's Light level is relatively low and/or they feel unprepared just fall back about 50-100 feet down the small tunnel and wait for the battle to play its course.

*Another option (and an extremely sneaky one) is to do exactly as mentioned in the first option: Fall back and wait. One place to wait it out is the opening of a small tunnel. Making sure not to be seen by any baddies and dodging incoming fire, take careful aim and chuck a grenade of any sort or fire a shot or two from any weapon into the chaos. Doing so will automatically include the player Guardian to the team once a target's been hit. After this, quickly head back down into the small tunnel, avoid incoming fire and wait for the battle to end. If done correctly, when the battle is over and the dust is cleared the player will get rewards.

Other Guardians will begin a new battle or leave, meaning one can sometimes face an onslaught of enemies alone. Depending on the potency of the SIVA offering it is possible to do it alone, but it is recommend to bring a fireteam or wait for a group of others. | ||
