Like all of its predecessors, the Takedown is rife with challenging enemies and is notorious for its unforgiving checkpoint system, only providing three save spots: the Chantry, after completing the Chasm, and after defeating [[Forum:Quroax, Reforged Mind|Quroax]] for those who seek to acquire the [[Forum:Insurance|Insurance]] [[Exotic]] [[Combat | Like all of its predecessors, the Takedown is rife with challenging enemies and is notorious for its unforgiving checkpoint system, only providing three save spots: the Chantry, after completing the Chasm, and after defeating [[Forum:Quroax, Reforged Mind|Quroax]] for those who seek to acquire the [[Forum:Insurance|Insurance]] [[Exotic]] [[Combat Bow|Bow]]. | ||

When players first land near the vast array of asteroids before boarding the Forged Pyramid, they will be met with a path leading to a room with ammo crates, an orb generator, a hastily placed vault and an outline of the Pyramid before them, showcase the paths that they must take to reach its center, as well as one, if the players are playing the Takedown before it's release, slowly counting down in hastily made Hive numerals, showing the time remaining before the activation of the Takedown. For players prepping for World's First, once the timer hits "zero", the door automatically opens, while players returning to or playing the Takedown later will be given the option to pull a lever to start it, opening the door into the Forged Pyramid. | |||

Once the doors open, the Guardians will walk through a series of corridors and catwalks through the Forged Pyramid. This is one of the few times that they will be able to see the each of the encounters though the Takedown. Players will also encounter Taken and Dread in this part so they must be cautious, especially with the [[Stasis]] wielding [[Attendant]]s and [[Strand]] wielding [[Weaver]]s that may slow their movement or pull them off the catwalks respectively. They must also be cautious as [[Taken Hobgoblin]]s and [[Taken Vandal]]s will be firing at them from high perches. There is also a high chance to encounter [[Champion]]s in this part on higher difficulty runs. Before reaching the main sector of '''The Chantry''' itself, players will have to fight through a major force of Hive and Dread, which includes [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]] wielding '''Tricksters''', '''Warcasters''' and '''Shamans''', blocking their path forward. On higher difficulties, Dread warriors like [[Subjugator]]s, [[Tormentor]]s or even [[Forum:Templar (unit)|Templar]]s replace parts of the squadron along with Taken Champions. | |||
