“ 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[edit]

After the many incursions across the Sol System by the Weavers of Sorrow and laying siege to the warships behind the many invasions of Sol, the Guardians would locate the Pyramid belonging to Shin'ra. There they must infiltrate the Forged Pyramid in order to 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[edit]

Flotsam[edit]

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.

Chantry[edit]

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 Attendants and Strand wielding Weavers that may slow their movement or pull them off the catwalks respectively. They must also be cautious as Taken Hobgoblins and Taken Vandals will be firing at them from high perches. There is also a high chance to encounter Champions 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 Corruption wielding Tricksters, Warcasters and Shamans, blocking their path forward. On higher difficulties, Dread warriors like Subjugators, Tormentors or even Templars replace parts of the squadron along with Taken Champions.

Unique Enemies[edit]

  • Trickster: A corruption wielding Acolyte that is capable of summoning ancient Hive blades. While it fights like regular Acolytes with its Void Shredder, it is capable of channeling a Corruption super and will fight much like a Fiend Hunter, dashing towards enemies and rending them with its blades.
  • Warcaster: A Corruption wielding Knight that is capable of summoning an ancient Hive battle axe. While it fights like regular Knights with its Arc 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 Arc 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.
