'''The Pit of Heresy''' is a [[Dungeon]] that was introduced in the [[Shadowkeep]] expansion, and released on the 29th of October 2019. It requires [[Guardian]]s to enter the bottom of [[The Scarlet Keep]], where they fight their way past a horde of [[Hidden Swarm]], in order to slay the Hive champion, [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment]] along with many wicked rituals that the remaining daughters of Crota have wrought. Like [[The Shattered Throne]] before it, it is now available every week. It should be noted that the dungeon has checkpoints, so if you need to rest or go do something else, you are able to leave and return to your last checkpoint. | '''The Pit of Heresy''' is a [[Dungeon]] that was introduced in the [[Shadowkeep]] expansion, and released on the 29th of October 2019.

The first encounter requires you to match the correct runes and utilize a Hive Sword to defeat minibosses with unique interactions. There are several towers built in to the face of the cliff in the first area. Each tower has a Hive rune on top that's used to navigate this stage. | The first encounter requires you to match the correct runes and utilize a Hive Sword to defeat minibosses with unique interactions. There are several towers built in to the face of the cliff in the first area. Each tower has a Hive rune on top that's used to navigate this stage. | ||
To find out which runes you should be looking for, you need to drop off the cliff and into the first tower. Here you need to kill a set of enemies and gain access to a room with an [[Accursed Swordbearer]] therein. Defeating it rewards you with a special Hive [[Cleaver]] relic and a view of three runes. It's advised to screenshot or take a photo of the runes so you don't forget which areas you need to visit. Don't take too long in this room, or the Swordbearer will respawn and you'll have to either run away or kill it again. | To find out which runes you should be looking for, you need to drop off the cliff and into the first tower.

Take note of the runes however you wish and exit the room. Then find the matching tower and dispatch the resident Disciple of the Broken Blade.

The Oracle room also has two [[Revenant Ogre|Revenant Ogres]] in it, whose firepower combined with the Oracle's will quickly kill you. It is recommended that you use a powerful weapon such as a [[Rocket Launcher]] to kill the Ogres before acquiring a Cleaver and facing the Oracle. | ||

The third encounter in the Pit of Heresy is a wave defense activity with a debuff mechanic. | The third encounter in the Pit of Heresy is a wave defense activity with a debuff mechanic. There’s a large wall protected by six Hive runes in the centre of the room. Your goal is to destroy them. | ||
Similar to the previous encounter, you need to kill multiple Knights and deposit their Void orbs in the container next to the blocked door. It sounds simple, but this time, your team is affected by a stacking debuff. If the team accrues enough stacks, your entire team will die and you'll have to start the encounter over. Every time you deposit an orb, you will lose stacks of the debuff, so don't take too long between Knight kills. You can also prevent being wiped by standing on the plate beneath the Hive totem. | |||
To make this simple, nominate one player as a runner who collects orbs, and the others can defend from the plate, killing anything that spawns. When depositing an orb, be aware of the pair of Boomer-wielding Knights that spawn on ledges high up in the room. They can easily kill you, but don't take much to kill themselves. | |||

The fifth and final section of the Pit of Heresy is a boss fight against Zulmak, Instrument of Torment, that recalls some of the previous encounters' mechanics. You need to kill Knights for swords, which allow you to kill specific enemies with specific abilities, then dunk more void orbs, all while the dungeon boss attacks you from the middle of the room. | The fifth and final section of the Pit of Heresy is a boss fight against Zulmak, Instrument of Torment, that recalls some of the previous encounters' mechanics. You need to kill Knights for swords, which allow you to kill specific enemies with specific abilities, then dunk more void orbs, all while the dungeon boss attacks you from the middle of the room. | ||
After depositing the third orb, the boss enters a damageable phase and the floor surrounding the central crystal glows green. Stay in the green aura to be able to deal damage to Zulmak. After a period of time, Zulmak will bend down on one knee and start to charge an attack. This attack will kill you instantly if you are still standing on the floor surrounding the crystal when they finish, so get off this when Zulmak begins charging. After Zulmak is defeated, you will receive a high-stat Dreambane armor drop. | |||
