So looks like we need 5 people to get this done. Anyone done it yet? Just wondering if you get some random trolls trying to ring a bell to put you out of sync.

Just done some of the first quest and Im really pleased with it. Storyline and cutscenes are well presented and missions are so far enjoyable. Hoping it's more to come over the first month.

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.

Thanks for Plumbrodders for the find. Planet Destiny's guide to the first things you should do and also prepare for RoI. ---------------------------- Specific Gear & Weapons My number one objective in Rise of Iron is to get a God Roll version of Dead Orbit’s new shotgun, the Last-Ditch 001. It’s the same archetype as the beloved Matador 64, and you can watch gameplay with it in this video that shows off its deadliness. I want this shotgun because I normally use a shotgun in Trials of Osiris and need to remain competitive. I’m also considering getting into tournament play. Now, I know only a small portion of the player base will be entering tournaments, and maybe you don’t even play PvP. If that’s your case, you don’t need a Last-Ditch. However, each of you may have a reason to want a different weapon or a different piece of gear. Maybe you’re a fusion rifle guy, or maybe you think the New Monarchy helmet looks super cool. If you have your eyes set on even just one faction item, and you want that item as fast as possible, there are things you can do prior to the DLC dropping to increase your chances of that getting that item early on, which I’ll explain. Preparation Without the ability to reroll perks, the only way to get a God Roll on this shotgun or another item you want is to earn and open as many faction packages as possible. The more packages you open, the more opportunities you have to obtain your preferred item, the more opportunities you have to roll godly perks. To get these packages you need to accumulate 2500 reputation with a faction. You can do this by trading in Motes of Light, Armour Parts, Weapon Parts, or Special and Heavy Ammo Syntheses. To get the most packages, you want to stock up on the items that give you the most reputation per cost. Two currencies that most players have a surplus of are Glimmer and Strange Coins. To get each additional rank, meaning the 2500 rep it takes to level a faction, it would cost you 25 Glimmer buying Weapon Parts, 40 Glimmer buying Special Ammo Syntheses, or 38 Glimmer buying Heavy Ammo Syntheses. Therefore, any excess Glimmer you accumulate should be spent on stacking Weapon Parts to optimize how many packages you can open on September 20th. The other currency is Strange Coins. It would cost 10 Strange Coins to earn 100 reputation through the Motes of light method, but only 1.33 Strange Coins for the same 100 reputation via Heavy Ammo Syntheses. Therefore, when you have spare Strange Coins, always burn them on Heavy Ammo Syntheses to optimize your reputation gains. Higher Light Level With the raid being released only 3 days after RoI drops, I’ll be doing everything I can to get my light as high as possible from Tuesday to Thursday. In previous expansions, you could immediately purchase higher level gear from vendors using Vanguard/Crucible/Legendary Marks. There’s a possibility we can expect to get some kind of Light boost through purchasing gear from vendors and opening faction packages. Preparation There are many ways to get Legendary Marks: Daily Story Chapters, Weekly Heroic Strikes, Daily PVP Activities, Weekly PVP Activities, Dismantling Year Two Legendary items After that, there are a few things you can do to effectively exceed the cap by saving up beforehand. The most effective way to do this would be to complete, but not hand in, the Trials of Osiris bounties on all three characters this weekend. This is the last weekend for Trials and you can save 2 bounties worth 25 Marks each. If you do this on all three characters, you’ll have an additional 150 Marks ready to be redeemed. Next, fill your vault with purple gear and weapons. Ideally, if the vendor gear is higher than 335 light, you would spend X amount of Marks on a pair of boots, dismantle legendary gear to hit the cap again, buy a chest piece, and the repeat for the helmet, gauntlets and whatever else you can get your hands on to immediately increase your light level. Getting an early start is critical, because we know in the past that your current light level has had an impact on the light level of your drops (court of Oryx for example). So the higher light you are before you start participating in the new content, the higher drops you will get, the quicker you’ll reach 385 light. Cryptarch Packages When Bungie developers were asked if we should hang onto Exotic Engrams, the developers smiled and opted to not answer the question. This might imply that they have something up their sleeve. Regardless of whether or not pre-DLC engrams can return new gear after RoI drops, there is still an incentive to stock up on these. At best, they might actually give you new exotics at higher light levels. At worst, they’ll rank up your Cryptarch. As you know, when your Cryptarch rank is leveled up, you get new engrams. These engrams, because they are received after the expansion drops, may turn into Rise of Iron gear and potentially increase your Light. Preparation We discussed saving legendary gear for the purpose of hording Legendary Marks. If you run out of space, prioritize engrams over weapons and gear. This is because engrams will get you post-DLC Cryptarch packages, but also turn into the same Legendary Marks that your already decoded gear will turn into. Summary This is a quick summary of the main points to take away from this article if you’re interested in rushing to maximum light before the raid and/or want to increase your chances at getting God Roll gear and weapons quickly: Extra Glimmer? Buy Weapon Parts. Extra Strange Coins? By Heavy Ammo Synths from Xur. Make sure you hit the cap of 200 Legendary Marks. Complete, but do not hand in your Trials bounties that provide Legendary Marks on all of your characters. Save all legendary gear to be dismantled post-DLC. If you run out of space, prioritize engrams. Ultimately, the most important thing is to enjoy the expansion in whichever way you prefer. Whether you’re like me and race to the finish, or you’re a “stop and smell the roses” kind of Guardian, I’ll see you out there on the 20th of September.

Artefacts Gameplay and Info These do look like they will change Crucible games and sone PvE content in maby different ways. I'd love to know if Shoulder Charge can work with Jolder (perm running) as that would be really cool. Grouping up could actually see more interaction with the support abilities too. I'm just hoping it won't push the tryhards even further away in Trials of Osiris. I'm super excited for all this though!
