Thanks Chris for sharing

-----------------------------------------

Iron Ghorn

This quest line was a doozy. To start it you need to look for a recon patrol beacon in Archons Keep(The symbol for it will be a ghost)

Before following it make sure you have picked up a splicer key. they can drop from killing brood mother wizards while on patrol. 

Once you follow it you end up picking up a relic(the hammer) and having to fight off a SIVA Fallen Walker inside of Site 6. 

Once he has been defeated you have to scan the Iron Medallion that was behind him.

After completing this step you have to speak to Tyra Karn. She then asks you to find more Iron Medallions. There is one in Felwinter peak and one in every patrol area of the Plaguelands. I'll post screenshots in a little while of the locations. They are not hard to find because your ghost points them out for you, but if you're having a hard time locating then you can ADS with a sniper. (Screenshots below)

Once you've completed that you go to Banner Fall and run around scanning archives, a library and blueprints. Once that is complete the towers defense systems go off and alert you that you're under attack by Fallen. 

At this point a bomb is put on one side of the map and you must defend the area. It's a lot like defending a Warsat but much smaller area and a lot of exploding shanks. Once the ghost disarms the bomb you must do it again on the opposite side of Banner Fall. After both the bombs are done you fight a giant fallen captain with the help of the banner Fall defense system.

You then return to the cryptarch and she asks you to find 5 pieces of SIVA cluster. I used the Megathread to find the easiest five.

After that you are asked to go back to Earth and find the pieces to create the ghorn. It starts in the Steppes as you clear enemy Fallen and dodge slow mines and it ends up on the Frontier map from crucible. 

Here your ghost is in a room with Ghorn trying to reconstruct it while you fight off waves of fallen with the occasional elite captain with a scorch cannon.

If you thought defending the bombs was challenging this level has many more enemies coming at you from different sides. It's fun and intense to do solo if you're looking for a challenge, otherwise go with a fireteam. 

After fighting them for what feels like forever you receive the Y1 Ghorn at 350 LL. At this point you can leave it like that or infuse it into the Iron Ghorn. Immediately after you are ordered to clear out the remaining enemies, to so this they spawn in a ton of heavy ammo crates so you can go wild with your shiny new rocket launcher. You'll have to fight off some SIVA Fallen dregs, walkers, and dregs on spikes. Easy pickings for a Ghorn. 

The quest was really intense, I had to solo all of it and it really gave me a challenge. If you feel like the story was too easy give this a shot without a fire team and you'll be sweating. 

Edit: Locations of the 7 medallions. Felwinter Peak This one is the easiest, at Felwinter peak you climb the makeshift rocks and it will be at the top. 

Lords Watch Immediately upon landing in patrol on plaguelands it will be in this room

Giants Husk Upon entering giants husk head to the right and climb up the mountain onto the overpass. Once on it the medallion will be hidden in some creates on the right side. 

Archons Keep. Passed Giants husk there is Archons Keep, go until end where it splits off to Forgotten Pass and towards the Archon Forge and it will be here. 

Forgotten Pass Once in forgotten pass head towards the end of the bridge and it'll be on the ground. 

Bunker As soon as you enter the bunker area head towards the left side and stick to the left wall. Fight off some fallen and it'll be next to an open room.

Site 6 From Archons Keep head towards the forge and keep going into the warrens, you'll be in a tight area and once you come out move forward while fighting fallen and it'll be to the left.

Edit: Cleaned some things up, added the Giant Husk location, added how to star the quest and some tips to help find the medallions. Good luck Guardians.

Crispy and I completed this last night. Really good quest and have to agree it made up for the short story. Brilliant ending to have heavy ammo all over the shop.

I've missed post explosion cluster bombs.
