The Takedown in the Typhon Imperator is a Cabal Takedown released as part of the Into the Light Update. Guardians are tasked with trekking into the deepest depths of the Typhon Imperator to prevent the Shadow Legion's attempts to attack the City alongside the rest of the Witness' forces, including the House of Salvation and the Hive. Similar to Takedowns before it, players must race through the colossal Pyramid ship to earn Shadow Legion-themed gear and weaponry, and a chance to earn the Lost Opulence Exotic Grenade Launcher, through difficult puzzles and a more ferocious opposition.
Overview
As the Guardians battled the forces of House Salvation and the Hive on Earth, the Vanguard would pick up a transmission from Nimbus talking about increased Shadow Legion activity within the Typhon Imperator. Believing the Shadow Legion were preparing to join the attack on Earth, Lord Shaxx assembled a Guardian fireteam to venture into the deepest depths of the Typhon Imperator and cripple the Shadow Legion before they can join the assault on the City.
Similar to Takedowns before it, there is a lack of mechanics-based encounters alongside the lack of checkpoints, offering only three positions to save: the beginning, after defeating Thumug and after defeating Tar'anurn for players attempting to get the Lost Oppulence.
Gameplay
Entrance
When players first land before the Typhon Imperator, they will first be met with a path leading to a room with ammo crates, an orb generator, a hastily placed vault and a map detailing interior scans of the ship provided by Viragni, as well as one, if the players are playing the Takedown before its release, slowly counting down in Cabal 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 switch to start it, opening the door to the rest of the Typhon Imperator.
Arena
After leaping down to the platform below, the Guardian fireteam must travel via Sparrow to the arena seen in the Downfall mission.
