Tempest Rising Into the Hive walkthrough: defeat the Hive Tyrant boss with 109000 HP using specific squad abilities and wargear.
Walkthrough

- 2Use Cyrus to destroy Hive Nodes with [INFILTRATE] and [DEMOLITION CHARGES].
- 3Capture the nearest relay beacon.
- 4Make your way north to secure the Shrine.
- 5Attack the eastern area filled with Brood Nests BEFORE securing the RECLAMATION POND to the west.
- 6Proceed to the Extraction Point.
- 7Fight the Hive Tyrant Boss (109000 HP). This is one of the toughest fights, especially on PRIMARCH difficulty. The boss uses a Bioplasma Cannon.
- 8Thule in his Dreadnaught form needs to close-in range with [MIGHT BLOW] to be effective.
- 9Fall back to the reinforcement beacon just south of the extraction point.
- 10Use Tarkus's [TAUNT] ability on the Hive Tyrant with [I SHALL NOT DIE] and [TACTICAL ADVANCE] activated.
- 11Prepare [BATTLE CRY] and [FOCUS FIRE]. Avitus will damage the Tyrant's HP.
- 12Use the FC (Force Commander) to sneak in explosive blows.
- 13Use Cyrus to [INSTANT REVIVE] fallen squadmates.
- 14Fall back when Tarkus has no more energy left. Repeat until the Hive Tyrant is defeated.
Tips

- The FC can handle enemy melee units with [RIGHTEOUS FURY] melee strikes.
- The Hive Tyrant's Bioplasma Cannon resembles the Devourer upgrade Raveners use.
