Mysterious Beginnings | Anthem story missions walkthrough Anthem Guide and Walkthrough
Last update: 01 March 2019
Mysterious Beginnings is one of the Story Missions in Anthem. This is the first out of the three missions related to Dax and the Emerald Abyss. The goal is to defeat four powerful Ursix, but you won't fight with them all at the same time. More details in our walkthrough.
The first meeting with Dax happens during Crafting the Dawn Shield Story Mission. After that, you have to start an expedition.
Reach the camp pointed by Dax. Use the radar to find the generator and bring the power back. You can now search the camp. Find a group of chests. Hold the interaction button to check the archives. Your new objective is to defend yourself. Luckily, you will be attacked by weaker monsters. Don't leave the green circle until Faye is finished with analyzing the archives.
Follow the signal. It will lead you to a new dungeon - The Sovereign Mine.
Start exploring the mine. Keep moving until you reach a larger location - the game will block the option to respawn. A few Outlaws are fighting an Ursix. Use the fact that the enemies aren't currently interested in attacking you, and focus on attacking the monster. If Ursix starts attacking you, fly around and use dodges every time the monster throws a rock.
Go to the next part of the cave - you will face another two Ursix. Don't rush at them and move away from the monsters when they are about to use melee attacks. This fight also doesn't give you the option to respawn.
Due to the monsters' high durability, we recommend attacking them one by one. However, if you have good area of effect attacks (especially if they are an Ultimate skill), you can wait for them to get closer to each other and then use that ability.
That is not all - after defeating the two Ursix, you will be attacked by an Ancient Ursix. The tactic against this enemy is the same, but you should be even more careful - this enemy deal even more damage.
Examine the Ancient Ursix's corpse to get Link, an artifact. The expedition is near complete. Go back to Fort Tarsis. You can now start another mission for Dax - Dear Diary.
