Master the Lord of Chaos mission in Tempest Rising (Aurelia/Minos Iceworks). Learn strategies for Araghast the Pillager, squad builds, and item locations.
Walkthrough
- 1The mission involves battling Araghast the Pillager. Be aware that using the 'Fall Back' command (X-key) or tactical withdrawals increases Corruption. It is possible to complete this mission without retreating, even on Primarch difficulty, especially with level 30 squads in Terminator armor.
- 2Equip Cyrus with a Sniper Rifle and [CLUSTER MINES] with the [DEMOLITIONS EXPERTISE] trait to control the battlefield with mines, preventing enemies from closing in.
- 3Tarkus is vital for crowd-control. Use [TAUNT] and ensure he has energy for [TACTICAL ADVANCE] and [I SHALL NOT FALL] traits to avoid incapacitation.
- 4The Force Commander can refill energy for squads using [BATTLE CRY] with the [INSPIRING SHOUT] trait.
- 5Avitus should handle enemy armor.
- 6Consider capturing the Shrine in the northwest corner of the map.
- 7Chaos Plague Marines are time-consuming to defeat. Be prepared for (2) Chaos Predator Tanks and several Chaos Dreadnaughts; use Avitus' [FOCUS FIRE] and the Force Commander's [TELEPORT] and [RIGHTEOUS FURY] abilities.
- 8Advance patiently. Araghast will attempt to retreat for a (3rd) time before Eliphas betrays him.
- 9Fight Araghast the Chaos Lord, who has 467,600 HP. He has a special AoE attack resembling radiating Hellspikes. Use the Force Commander's [BATTLE CRY] on the boss. Tarkus can use [TAUNT], or Cyrus can plant [CLUSTER MINES] to make the fight easier.
Tips
- Focus on squad builds that minimize the need for retreat.
- Utilize Cyrus's mines extensively for area denial and damage.
- Leverage Tarkus's crowd-control and the Force Commander's support abilities.
