(Added that the mission had a really popular glitch that was pretty versatile. It could be used from glimmer farming to upgrading guns. The only thing is that I can put myself as one of the references lol, so not sure if that's academically a good thing. Here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75y24obb920)

[[Ghost]] tells the player that there's something sealed off within the Skywatch that the [[Fallen]] are protecting, and that the [[Speaker]] wants Guardians to investigate. Proceed to the Skywatch, the large building at the far end of the [[Mothyards]]. The entrance is guarded by a pair of [[Vandal]]s and a [[Captain]], but they are easily dispatched. Once inside, follow the hallways up to the sealed-off door. At this point, the player will enter a [[Darkness Zone]]. Ghost will prompt the player into unlocking the door.


Inside, the next few rooms are completely dark. Ghost will activate a flashlight, but visibility will still be limited. Upon entering the larger room, approach with caution, as a group of [[Thrall]]s will attempt to ambush the player, either by charging ahead from the shadows, or jumping down from the ceiling. A group of [[Acolyte]]s will also start shooting; at higher difficulty levels there may also be a [[Knight]]. Dispatch the thralls first; retreating into the doorway will funnel the thralls into a single file, making them easier to manage. Once the room has been cleared, proceed upstairs.

**[[Gotra, Eir Spawn|Gotra, Eir Spawn (boss)]]


Ghost will warn the player that a [[Wizard]] ([[Gotra, Eir Spawn]]) is nearby. Before the Wizard can be dealt with, more Thralls and Acolytes appear. The Wizard is inside the final room, supported by more Thralls and Acolytes; it is not completely necessary to eliminate them all, since killing the Wizard will kill all the other enemies.

*This mission was available to play during the Destiny First Look Alpha. <ref> ''First Look Alpha'' ''https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZagGnECQjU'' </ref>
**Despite this, there existed an out of bounds glitch that remained unpatched well into Destiny: The Taken King. This glitch also provided a kill farming method on two thralls that would spawn infinitely.


Before the mission ends, there is a [[Golden Chest]] on the roof above the enclosed room.
