On this Future 2 information, we’ll stroll you thru the right way to full the Starcrossed mission and discover its secret chest.
Methods to beat the ‘Starcrossed’ Unique mission in Future 2
“Starcrossed” is, primarily, only a straight line with just a few stops alongside it, so this information will focus much less on the place to go and extra on how the mission’s three major mechanics work: Sire’s Obligation, Dam’s Reward, and Topped by Dragons. Let’s break it down.
Sire’s Obligation
Your first large mechanic, which you get simply earlier than the primary main encounter, is a buff referred to as Sire’s Obligation. You will get it from standing in a blue pool that seems in some flowers by a locked gate. It lasts without end whilst you’re standing within the pool, however solely lasts 45 seconds as soon as you allow.
Sire’s Obligation permits you to harm Stubborn enemies and permits you to see the Final Want symbols. Use the buff to defeat the primary Stubborn Phalanx and open the door.
You’ll put Sire’s Obligation to sensible use within the first encounter. Get the buff from one of many swimming pools and look to the gate on the finish of the world. You’ll see three symbols in a random order. You’ll must examine the order your self each time, however for the sake of this information, let’s use this order for instance: Dragon, Fish, Hen.
Now, along with your buff (ensure to resume it if you happen to run out of time), run across the area and search for Stubborn Phalanx enemies. There are three of them, every residing underneath one of many three symbols you noticed on the door. Defeat them within the order of the mix on the door (Dragon, Fish, Hen, for this instance) and also you’ll open the way in which. Defeat them within the improper order, and so they’ll all respawn.
Dam’s Reward
Dam’s Reward is the second mechanic on this mission, and comes from a purple puddle that comes from sure flower patches. It lasts for a similar period of time as Sire’s Obligation.
Dam’s Reward permits you to stroll into the orange mist, which you’ll encounter for the primary time simply forward of the primary purple flower patch. With out Dam’s Reward, you’ll take harm contained in the mist and get the Unwelcome debuff, which can finally kill you. Nonetheless, you’re protected within the mist so long as you preserve Dam’s Reward.
After you run by the preliminary mist, you’ll want to make use of Dam’s Reward to finish the second encounter. You’ll discover a purple puddle in a small area and three passageways coated in orange mist: left, proper, and center. Use Dam’s Reward to stroll every of those paths and rapidly kill the Gatekeeper Wyvern’s inside. As soon as the Wyvern is useless, a protect will disappear over a Vex node, which you’ll work together with.
Repeat this course of till you’ve killed three Gatekeeper Wyverns and interacted with all three nodes within the area to finish the problem.
Topped by Dragons
On the finish of the mission, you’ll want to mix these two buffs collectively. Once you enter the following area, head to the left to get Sire’s Obligation and to the precise to get Dam’s Reward. After getting them each, the buff will remodel right into a single buff: Topped by Dragons.
When you have Topped by Dragons, you’ll be capable to see symbols, harm Stubborn enemies, and traverse the orange mist. Operating by both buff will renew Topped by Dragons again to 45 seconds.
With Topped by Dragons in hand, look to the massive door within the middle of the room to get your lock mixture. Then, run across the room and kill the Stubborn enemies within the appropriate order. There’s one Stubborn enemy in the principle room, and one in every of the world’s two wings. With a purpose to get to the wings, you’ll must traverse orange mist, so be sure you by no means lose Topped by Dragons.
Methods to beat Akardon, Pitiless Thoughts, in Future 2
When you open the door, proceed all the way down to the ultimate boss, which is an enormous Vex Hydra: Akardon, Pitiless Thoughts. You’ll be able to harm the boss from the beginning of the battle so long as you will have Topped by Dragons. Nonetheless, you’ll have a a lot simpler time killing the boss if you happen to take away its rotating protect, which tends to dam a number of incoming harm if you happen to don’t time your pictures effectively.
To do that, use Topped by Dragons to kill each of the Pitiless Attendant Phalanx enemies within the room with the Hydra. As soon as they’re each useless, the boss will lose its protect and begin spawning Taken enemies. Kill it rapidly after which proceed into the treasure room to complete the mission.
Future 2 ‘Starcrossed’ secret chest location
Once you first begin “Starcrossed,” you’ll be in an space with a giant chasm, and might want to soar throughout some plant leaves. The primary a part of this space is pretty open, however you’ll finally want to show proper and stroll throughout an enormous tree department, which can lead you to a slim opening and the remainder of the mission.
When you flip and hit that large tree department, cease. As an alternative of constant alongside, look down and round you. You’ll discover an edge that leads right into a small alcove.
Head down into this small space and also you’ll discover a Dreaming Metropolis chest nuzzled in opposition to the wall. Open it for a Season of the Timeless weapon.
For those who’re battling this chest, I like to recommend placing the Wombo Detector Ghost Shell mod on, which can let you detect close by treasure chests and assets.
