Guide Destiny's The Wakening Mission

AntMag.NET

Alright, Guardian! We're diving into 'The Wakening,' a mission from the Dark Below expansion. The main goal here is to head to the Moon, find the Temple of Crota, and put a stop to the Wakers who are trying to bring Crota back. Eris Morn herself has tasked us with shattering his soul before he's made whole again. Let's get this done!

Walkthrough

1
First things first, you'll need to make your way to the Anchor of Light on the Moon. From there, find the entrance to the Temple of Crota. As soon as you arrive, a Hive drop ship will appear, dropping off some Wizards and Acolytes. Use the rocks for cover and pick them off from a distance.
2
Once you've cleared out the initial wave, head into the temple. You'll soon reach a circular area just before the World's Grave. Here, you'll face some Boomer Knights and Acolytes. Prioritize taking out those Boomer Knights first, as they can dish out a ton of damage, especially on Heroic difficulty where they'll all be Majors.
3
After dealing with the Knights, you'll enter the World's Grave proper. You'll need to take out a Shrieker and a bunch of Cursed Thrall. These Thrall can be chained together, so try to get them all with one blast if you can, and then safely move through the first room.
4
You'll then enter the bridge room, where more Thrall and another Shrieker are waiting. Defeat them, cross the bridge, and head into the shrine area. Surprise! Another Shrieker and more Cursed Thrall are here. Clear them out.
5
Now, push through into the Chamber of Night. Be aware that this is a Darkness Zone, so your Super and abilities won't recharge as quickly. You'll see poisonous green circles on the ground – definitely avoid those! Head left, and after passing the second poisonous area, turn left again and go up the stairs.
6
At the top of the steps, near a pillar, you can spot a Dead Ghost on the ground if you turn around. Keep an eye out for Acolytes and Knights scattered throughout this room; they can catch you off guard as you make your way to the exit.
7
As you exit that room, look to your right…

Tips

Focusing down the Boomer Knights early in the Temple of Crota is crucial, as they pose the biggest threat in that encounter.
Don't underestimate the Cursed Thrall; their explosive nature can quickly overwhelm you if you let them get close.
Be mindful of the Darkness Zone in the Chamber of Night. Conserve your heavy ammo and abilities if possible.
Keep an eye out for that Dead Ghost – they're always worth grabbing!
