Oh snap, is this it fellow Guardians? I guess we will find out. Come on, take this ride with me to see how Amanda is doing…
1: Login
Back at it again, literally as soon as you log in Amanda Holliday rings you up. Like, seriously… I didn’t even get 5 minutes till this girl sends me a message. Whatever, Amanda. Better be worth it.
2: Journal of the Reef Cryptarch
She goes on and on about how it’s important or whatever and only tells us “Found ’em”. Guess we better go say hi to our girl, Amanda.
Amanda Reached out to you with a simple message: “Found ’em.” Visit her in the tower and see what she’s learned.
- Return to Amanda Holliday
She can’t even go a week without seeing my lovely face.
3: The Lost Cryptarch
Amanda’s coordinates seem quite familiar – They’re inside Whispered Falls, in the Outskirts of the EDZ. Find the fallen transmat pad and see where it leads.
- Incomplete
Back to the Whispered Falls like last week/step, but this time it’s different we got a mission here.
SPOILERS, but I guess you knew that.
Alright, so just run in through the Whispered Falls ’cause you don’t have to actually beat it. Once you get to the boss room you’ll see a purple flag on the transmat, hit that button and look…
You’re in the Cosmodrone!
That’s right, we’re back baby. Bungie done did it. You gotta run into the wall and make your way to the boss chamber. If you’ve played Destiny 1 you’ll be familiar. The run to the boss room isn’t difficult, but before you get into the wall you do have to kill a Big Boi Shank.
Once you’re in the boss chamber you’ll see a few trash mobs then Master Ives’ Killer come out of the tube like the original E3 trailer.
Be careful, ’cause if you are soloing it this can get hectic. As you burn the boss, more and more adds will spawn. Luckily, they aren’t infinite spawns and you can clean them all up. I don’t know if it’s cause I hadn’t had my cup of coffee or I was just trash today, but they adds till kill me the first time. I didn’t realize there would be so many and tried to just focus the boss down.
Once you get Master Ives’ Killer down to about 1/4 health a Big Boi Servitor will spawn and start shielding losers. Two pops with a Whisper and he’s down.
Now just focus the boss down and win.
That’s not all folks, now you’ve got to escape!
You’ll be fine though, just run back out and hit up the transmat you came in at. The only enemies that are will be around are inside the wall, but once you make it out you’re home free.
4: The Lost Cryptarch
Master Ives has been avenged. Return to Amanda Holliday to wrap up.
- Return to Amanda Holliday
Profit: Ives’s Last Engram
Petra Venj entrusted Amanda Holliday with all of Master Ives’s possessions. Now that the Cryptarch’s death has been avenged, this engram belongs to the Guardian who brought that justice.
You will then receive an Exotic engram called Ives’s Last Engram. Any guess at what this is? I’ll give you 1…
Run over to the alive Cryptarch, decrypt and…
WHOLLY SHIET
WE GAWT IT!
Looks like our crazy ex-girlfriend wasn’t just booty calling us. Well, I mean… Thunderlord is a pretty shiny bit of booty, so I guess she did. Not all ex’s are bad I suppose.
All hail the Thundertoad!
Now here’s the real treat, if you want to be a whale and spend REAL LIFE MONEY, Tessaverse has two skins for you in packages:
If only I wasn’t a broke SOB, this Sonic Fanboi wants to be Faster than Speeeeed…
Anyways, there you have it! Get you a Thundertoad and get croaking… I mean cracking.
I will be playing with it the next few days and have a review up as well as updating the Thundertoad page to have the full guide soon.
Have a blast thunderstriking people, fambam!
