The Erishkigal Project is a Lost Sector located in the Ishtar Sink on Venus located in the Ishtar Commons. Once a dedicated lab for the Ishtar Collective's research on the Vex captured from the local Vex Nexus and and Waking Ruins, as well as attempting to map out the Vault of Glass. During it's abandonment following the Collapse, the Vex prisoners would break free and seize control over the labs, eventually calling for an advanced Wyvern frame, Axiopoios, Retriever Mind, to discover their former captors discoveries.

EnemiesEdit

LayoutEdit

After descending into the elevator shaft and into the shattered holes in the floor, players should find themselves in a Vex-corrupted Human lobby with a stony Vex-block infected desk and statue of Ishtar, with a circular stairwell leading upstairs. After deposing the Vex protectors, from both cadres of Goblins and Harpies and Hobgoblin snipers on distant balconies, players can progress up the stairs and find themselves in combat against a squad of Harpies and Goblins led by a Minotaur in a massive room with various elevator doors with a Vex walled off one in the second furthest back right. After dealing with multiple waves of enemies, including a squad of Harpies and Minotaurs and a squad of Goblins, Hobgoblins and Wyverns. After dispatching the enemy squads, access to the elevators should open up, permitting access deeper into the Ishtar Collective's secret labs. Going deeper into the infested halls, players should encounter a horde of Supplicants coming around the hall's corner in an effort to take the intruders with them. After getting past the Supplicants, players should find themselves in what appears to be a prison ward with numerous transfer gates hidden in different corners. After destroying them, players should have access to a final operating room with a circular Dias in the back of the room and destroyed probing arms hanging above it, with the Axis Mind Axiopoios standing above it, with a circular barrier surrounding it, as well as a wall behind it. After dispatching the enemies within the former examination room and the balconies above, the circular barrier should fall, exposing the Ultra Wyvern to damage. After defeating Axiopoios and it's protectors, the barrier in the back should fall and the players may open the cache in the back.

TranscriptEdit

The Guardian discovers the entrance to the Erishkigal Project

  • The Ghost: What is this? This seems to have been a checkpoint once. And I'm detecting a lot of Vex ahead. Alana, any idea as to what this could be?
  • Alana Reyn: I haven't the foggiest. But if there's Vex here in an Ishtar building, then there's clearly something important down there. Best we get to it before the Vex do.
  • The Ghost: Agreed, let's go Guardian.

The Guardian completes the Lost Sector

  • The Ghost: This place is vast... I wonder how many Vex were contained here during the Golden Age. ...Not that we will find out; it seems that Wyvern did a number on the servers.
  • Alana Reyn: Damn. But, if I were to hazard a guess, the Collective only had enough Vex to try to understand them, how they work, what they do, what they plan, what may lie within some of their most secure of superstructures...
  • The Ghost: And you think that's why the Vex scrambled an assault frame to drain the files from here?
  • Alana Reyn: Maybe. If I were the Collective Minds, I'd want any critical data on the Citadel or Vault, let alone our very Network to stay out of enemy hands. Or maybe... maybe the Vex wanted something from the Collective. Something to look into I suppose. Uh, good work, Guardian.
