The Contact public event were operations carried out by the Vanguard to contain the spread of Darkness from Pyramid Scales as they corrupt the environments of every known Destination occupied by the Black Fleet.
In addition to keeping their enemies from harvesting paracausal energy, Guardians also used the collected Darkness to charge the Seed of Silver Wings, enabling it to break through Savathûn's interference and allow the Guardian and Eris Morn to receive messages from the Witness. It was released with “Season of Arrivals”, and was removed in “Beyond Light” along with the locations it occurs on.
Walkthrough
Fill the Bank
To initiate Contact, the Guardian places down a transmat beacon underneath the Pyramid Scale, which summons a modified containment bank for capturing and storing Darkness energy. Throughout the event, the Drifter and Eris Morn will provide commentary, sometimes bantering with one another as the Guardian fills the bank with Dark motes.
Defeat Taken Blockers
Upon completely filling the bank, Taken blockers appear, causing the bank to enter lockdown. Guardians must then clear out all the Taken from the area in order to release the lockdown. This process is repeated for a total of four waves, with the fourth completion differing from the first three. Upon filling the bank up for the fourth time, the event becomes heroic, summoning one of three Taken bosses, depending on the week.
Champions
Various Champions will also spawn throughout the course of Contact. Champions will be from the attacking enemy race. Taken Champions may also appear in between waves when Taken blockers are summoned. The recommended option for defeating Champions is utilizing a weapon or ability given anti-Champion capabilities through mods from the Seasonal Artifact. However, it is possible to use brute force to kill these Champions without using anti-Champion mods, but with some difficulty. If using brute force, Falling Guillotine is the recommended weapon.
Bosses
Upon turning the event heroic, one of three bosses will be summoned, dependent upon the weekly rotation.
- Taken Pyromaster and Taken Blights - Defeat Taken Blights powering the boss's shield.
- Taken Monstrosity and Taken Fleshcrafters - Defeat the Fleshcrafters to prevent the Monstrosity from being healed.
- Taken Howler and Taken Blade Brother - Bring the Howler and Blade Brother within close proximity to lower their shields. Killing the Blade Brother temporarily removes the shield.
Transcript
- The Guardian activates the Bank
- Eris Morn: You are our hand in the field, Guardian. Charge the Seed so that we may interpret the Darkness' intentions.
- Or
- Eris Morn: The Seed's corruption is a necessity, and a deed better left in noble hands. See it done.
- Or
- Eris Morn: First plundered by Cabal, now beset with the rot of Darkness. Even the purity once endowed by the Traveler wavers.
- Or
- Eris Morn: Do you sense the gravity here, Guardian? A sullen pit that sinks to spoil. The Pyramids bring entropy, and we will restore order.
- Or
- Eris Morn: The great game is in motion. Charge the Seed so that we may commune once more with the Dark.
- Or
- Eris Morn: The Pyramid reaches out. Contain it!
- Or
- Or
- Ghost: I know you're curious to hear what they have to say… but remember what they've done. Be careful.
- Or
- Drifter: A whole lotta incoming. Hey, Moondust, you got anything for this?
- Eris Morn: They seek strength, as do we. Though they lack the constitution to control it.
- Drifter: Constitution. I like the way you talk.
- Or
- Eris Morn: This is different. The Nightmares were simply an interpretation. What we have before us is the source, directly viewed, and not to be underestimated.
- Or
- Drifter: Ah, that Seed's bringing in all sorts of funk. Bogeys. Inbound!
- Eris Morn: We cannot lose this position, Guardian. Savathûn's clutches tighten if we hesitate.
- Or
- Drifter: Bank down! Ring that dinner bell. Stretch. Soup's on.
- Eris Morn: Io is a sacred place, not a slop hall for haggard buzzards.
- Drifter: World's just bones on bones. Been like that forever.
- Or
- Drifter: Pyramid's going nuts. This is the hotspot, that's for sure. Bank down!
- Eris Morn: Guardian, you are not alone. Our foes seek to claim power from the Darkness.
- Drifter: Bring 'em down and bank those Motes!
- Eris Morn: Yes. Contain the spread of this infestation, and we will utilise what we capture to decipher the Pyramid's intentions.
- Or
- Drifter: Showtime! Signals going haywire all around ya.
- Eris Morn: The Darkness tempts our aggressors with promises of power. Are they fodder? An offering to our cause?
- Drifter: Never seen a free meal, and I've been around a long time.
- Or
- Drifter: That Pyramid cuts a sinister figure. Too bad your Golden Age basket case couldn't pull the trigger.
- Eris Morn: The Warmind's fall was unsettling. The Darkness would not have approached had Rasputin been a credible threat. We were fools to expect anything less.
- Or
- Drifter: Your big blue boss looks rattled, brother/sister. I'd be worried.
- Eris Morn: Commander Zavala has far more to orchestrate than a back-alley brawl, rat.
- Drifter: All right. All right. Just… looking out.
- Or
- Drifter: Bank incoming! [shivers] I'm starting to catch a streak of that hero feel.
- Eris Morn: Oh? Is that why you're here? Some noble vocation?
- Drifter: Nah. Just the show, Moondust.
- Or
- Drifter: You know the rub. Bank those motes… and snag one for ol' Drifter.
- Eris Morn: Absolutely not.
- Drifter: All right. Your show, Moondust.
- Or
- Drifter: So this is the plan. All right… bank down.
- Eris Morn: If we tap this font of power, others will come to challenge. Collect whatever Darkness they hold.
- Drifter: Hey, Hero. Ready for a gunfight?
- Or
- Drifter: Mini-bank in transit. You're up, brother/sister.
- Eris Morn: Staunch the flow of Darkness, Guardian.
- Drifter: And keep 'em off my bank. Paint's barely dry.
- Or
- Drifter: Bank firing in. Kid, you're on deck.
- Eris Morn: Guardian. Our foes mean to interrupt our work. Cut them down.
- Drifter: Ooh, Moondust, you've got a mean streak. [laughs]
- Or
- Drifter: What do you think your competitors want with all this Darkness?
- Eris: Power. One last gasp before they fade into obscurity.
- Drifter: Pretty grim.
- Eris Morn: Invaders, typically, are not afforded pity.
- Or
- Eris Morn: Savathûn seeks to disrupt. Work with purpose, before there is nothing left to salvage.
- Drifter: Salvage ain't so bad.
- Eris Morn: There's still space on the outskirts, Drifter, should you wish to observe rather than act.
- Drifter: Maybe I'll save you a spot.
- Or
- Eris Morn: Guardian—
- Drifter: Transmat firing! Watch your limbs.
- Eris Morn: Good Luck.
- Or
- Eris Morn: The denizens of this world swarm to stake their claims. Show them what comes from their recklessness.
- Drifter: Lady… you are freaky. Drifter like.
- Or
- Eris Morn: You did well to find this point of infestation.
- Drifter: Yeah, but something's not right here.
- Eris Morn: The Darkness changes its environment as the Traveler did.
- Drifter: Sounds peachy.
- Or
- Eris Morn: Our attempt at alignment has drawn attention.
- Ghost: Understood, Eris. Let's charge up the seed and get out of here.
- Or
- Ghost: Scans are all over the place. I can't get a lock on anything.
- Eris Morn: Savathûn obscures our vision. Fear not the Witch Queen's tricks, Little Light.
- Or
- Ghost: I envy you, Eris. You don't have to feel the Darkness tugging at your core.
- Eris Morn: I feel their hooks… at every moment, Little Light.
- Or
- Zavala: Guardian, we are the final line that halts a second Collapse. Do not falter.
- Drifter: You weren't around for the Dark Ages, were you?
- Zavala: I've lived long enough to see what happens when good people fail.
Trivia
- The Contact public event is the first time the Drifter and Eris Morn have interacted in-game.
