"In the Vault… there's a cell for everyone."

The Subjugated Vault is a location on the Nephilim. Known as a holy ground for the Weavers of Sorrow to test their strength and loyalties, it mainly acts as a prison for the enemies of Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker, where they are tortured, offered as tribute or fight each other for the Sorrow-Maker's amusement. It also lays host to the 6-Player activity of the same name.

Overview

Under the guidance of Eris Morn and Shin Malphur, the Guardians learn of an ancient and dark sector aboard the Nephilim where Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker keeps his most hated foes. They are instructed by the pair to investigate the Subjugated Vault and defeat whatever powerful foes reside within before the Sorrow-Maker may claim them for tribute.

Gameplay

The Subjugated Vault functions similarly to the Prison of Elders activity in Destiny where players must defeat various foes through various randomly selected encounters. Each area within the. Nephilim has been "taken over" by their respective factions. If the encounter has Fallen, there are notable Fallen structures, if it has Cabal, there are parts of Cabal material scrap worked onto the floors and walls and if it were Taken, it would instead take place in the Ascendant Realm.

Each encounter has a specific goal one must complete and offers new sets of modifiers based on the active enemy faction in the encounter. Sometimes random encounters would appear shortly after completing the main encounters. These encounters would either kill respawning enemies until the time runs out or defeat powerful foes like Lightbearer Hive or Subjugators.

After completing four of the existing encounters, they must complete one of the many boss encounters. The boss has two randomly selected modifiers based on the enemy faction offering a greatly challenge for the boss.

Encounters

Fallen

• Glimmer Extraction — Similar to the Glimmer Extraction Public Event, players must defeat Fallen crews that are attempting to Drill for Glimmer aboard the Nephilim. Four crews will spawn in with different waves, each appearing stronger than the last. One all crews are defeated, a Ransack Captain (House of Dusk), Stealer Captain (Jackal Syndicate), Stasis Wielding Captain (House of Salvation), or a Malevolent Edge (House of Vipers) will appear and must be defeated to complete the encounter.

• Fallen Pack — A pack of Fallen Vandals will appear and must be defeated. The hard hitting weapons and high durability of the Pack Vandals makes them tough adversaries and requires your attention to defeat. However, in an estranged homage to the Gorgons, when one Vandal is defeated, the other Vandals will gain heightened senses and boost to their damage output and durability.

• Prisoner Escapee — Fallen Escapees will appear in the area with no ping on the radar or the hud and must be found and defeated. Heavily armed and durable, they will commonly appear as Vandals, Servitors and rarely Heavy Shanks.

• Splinter Mines — Much like any other Splinter Mine encounter, players must deactivate the mines before they explode and wipe everyone in the encounter. However in the vault's unique spin, enemies that stand in the ring, irregardless if the players are in the ring themselves, will continue the progress of the Splinter Mine and it is adamant to keep the enemies from entering into the circle.

• Supply Run — Players must hunt down Fallen squads transmitting supplies. In order to stop the supply runs, players must down down the leading Supply Captain who had secretly stashed said supplies and destroy them.

Hive

• Summoning Circle — This encounter works similarly to the Shadowrift encounter in Escalation Protocol, where players must shut down six Shadowrifts while keeping enemies from entering into the circle. As the circles shit down, the three Soulfire crystals will become available and Eyes of Summoning will appear to assault the players. To complete the encounter, players must destroy the crystals and the Eyes of Summoming

• Death Coven — During this encounter, players must defeat three shielded Weaving Deathsingers before they finish changing their Liturgy of Ruin. In order to break their shields, they must defeat waves of Hive and obtain swords from Knights. The sword will only last until one of the Deathsinger's shields breaks, which will temporarily stop the liturgy so that players can kill the Deathsinger. The timer resets when a Deathsinger is killed and must be repeated until all Deathsingers are slain.

• Totem Activation — Much like previous Annihilator Totem encounters before, players must stand below Hive totems before they wipe the team and fend off Hive from entering a circle. When too many Hive have entered a Totem, it will initiate the wipe, killing the team. Special Acolytes called Soothsayers will occasionally spawn in order to activate the totems. In order to complete the encounter, eight Soothsayers must be slain.

• Weapon's Ritual — A group of Hive Knights known as Ballista Knights must be killed in order to stop a weapons summoning ritual to create a new arsenal for the Hive. These Knights will be shielded which can only be destroyed by Hive Cleavers that spawn after killing waves of Hive.

• Hive Abomination — In this encounter, players must defeat a powerful Abomination Ogre that has high health, extreme durability and a plethora of abilities shared between Ogres. They are difficult to face because of their immense strength and power and Knockback of their Eye Blasts

Vex

• Conflux Destruction — Conflux Destruction works similarly to the Spire Integration Heroic Public events. However Vex will not sacrifice themselves to the Conflux and Guardians are required to stand in the Sync Plates that are scattered around the area as Vex begin to swarm the players. After activating the Sync Plates, a massive Conflux Hydra will spawn. Destroy the Hydra in order to complete the encounter.

• Vex Legion — Vex legion acts as a wave based encounter in which a massive legion of Vex will appear to assault the players. It has a total of three waves, each wave possessing higher ranking Vex and Malignant variants in later waves.

• Network Crash — Transfer gates have appeared around the arena and will periodically open up. Players must defeat the Vex forces that appear from the gate and destroy them from summoning in more Vex. Players must destroy a total of ten gates to complete the encounter.

• Oracle Melody — During this random encounter, players must destroy Vex Oracles that randomly spawn around the area. They will appear just like the Oracles within the Vault of Glass as white Conflux shape. Unlike the Vault of Glass, players do not have to destroy them in a certain order, but they must destroy them before time runs out.

• Overmind Vex — In this encounter, players must defeat a powerful Overmind Minotaur that is protected by an immunity shield. Players must defeat either a Tampered Minotaur, Tampered Wyvern or a Tampered Hydra and collect their Vex Craniums in order to break the Overmind Minotaur's immunity shield.
