The Ishtar Collective | Venus - Main Story Destiny Guide

Cyclops in the single-eyed flesh

Recommended level: 11 lvl (Normal)/15 lvl (Hard)

Team: 1-3 players

From the ship, you get to the Headlands again. Jump onto your speeder and head along city streets, towards the mission marker. After a while, you find the Ishtar Cliffs, where there is your first objective - Cyclops. The main opponent is surrounded by quite a group of Goblins and a Harpy, which resembles a flying eye with tentacles and attacks with single projectiles fired from the eye. Deal with the first wave of marauders only, because successive waves keep coming, up until the Cyclops is dead. The best way to attack the latter is to attack the eye, at the moment at which he charges his attack. If he takes enough damage at such a moment, he starts firing smaller projectiles in all directions, after which he returns to the basic attack. Several bursts into the eye should get the job done. Collect the item dropped by the Cyclops, summon your vehicle and head towards your next objective in the Waking Ruins.

Find the research site

The research zone

After a short ride, you get to a big oval tunnel. Cross it to reach the abandoned research zone and a Darkness Zone. Unfortunately, the location is being occupied by The Fallen, who are scattered all around the place. Hunt successive enemy groups down and deal with the last team with a Captain on it. They appear after you have eliminated all the rest.

Once you secure the area, approach the console marked as the objective and activate Ghost. Unfortunately, this will attract the attention of the Vex, who start flooding the area. Groups of Goblins, HobGoblins, Harpies and Minotaurs appear in different parts of the location. A good spot for defense is the building, inside of which is the console being analyzed by Ghost. Use all the nearby computers to ensure protection and eliminate the opponents dashing inside. After, around, 4 waves the opponents should give the thing up. You only need, now, to return to Ghost to listen to it and activate the countdown until the end of the mission.

Reward: Armor Upgrade, +3000 XP (Normal)/+3600 XP (Hard)
