Complete the Hive Infestation mission in Tempest Rising by purging Tyranids, capturing relay beacons, and defeating the Lictor Alpha.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Perform a Tyranid purge, sweeping the map for these alien critters and capturing relay beacons. Expect the usual Tyranid fauna with Hive Nodes scattered around.
  2. 2
    Fight the Lictor Alpha (114866 HP).
  3. 3
    Have Cyrus drop [LOCATOR BEACONS] and plant [CLUSTER MINES].
  4. 4
    The Lictor leaps and lunges towards your squad; its melee attacks are fast and deadly.
  5. 5
    Stop its momentum using Cyrus' [INFILTRATE][DROP SMOKE] then [FOCUS FIRE] on it.
  6. 6
    Tyranid reinforcements will come from the northern pathway with (10)-(15) Spore Mines!
  7. 7
    Control the crowd with Tarkus' [TAUNT][TACTICAL ADVANCE].
  8. 8
    The Lictor will vanish and reappear far away. Its Tongue Lash won't reel on someone with Terminator Armors.
  9. 9
    Keep hammering at the Lictor Alpha until it goes down.
Tips
  • Use Cyrus' [INFILTRATE][DROP SMOKE] ability to stop the Lictor's momentum.
  • Use Tarkus' [TAUNT][TACTICAL ADVANCE] to control the crowd of Spore Mines.
  • Terminator Armors prevent the Lictor's Tongue Lash from reeling you in.
