Enter into the Pyramid of Shin'ra, Disciple of the Witness and put an end to his conquest.

”

The Takedown in the Forged Pyramid is a Hive, Taken and Dread Takedown released in Episode: Dread. Guardians must enter into Shin'ra's Pyramid and face him and his champions in order to put an end to him and the War of the Weavers.

Overview

After the many incursions across the Sol System by the Weavers of Sorrow, the Guardians locate the Pyramid belonging to Shin'ra. There they must infiltrate the Forged Pyramid and put an end to his reign once and for all.

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 Quroax for those who seek to acquire the Insurance Exotic Bow.

Gameplay

Flotsam

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.

• Warcaster: A Corruption wielding Knight that is capable of summoning an ancient Hive battle axe. While it fights like regular Knights with its Boomer, it is capable of channeling a Corruption super and will fight much like a Paladin Titan, charging towards its foes with its mighty axe and crushing them with it.
• Shaman: A Corruption wielding Wizard that is capable of summoning ancient Hive magic. While it fights like regular Wizards normally with its Darkness Blasts, it is capable of channeling a Corruption super and will fight much like a Caster Warlock, firing a vast array of Corruption bolts and Clouds of Darkness at enemies.
