Sever - Grief Walkthrough

Running the mission is a fairly straightforward affair. Like the previous missions, Grief is located on the Moon and can be selected by clicking on the green Season of the Haunted icon next to the Derelict Leviathan Landing Zone.

  • Players will land in a new section of the Derelict Leviathan's underbelly. Proceed forward and immediately take a right into the narrow hallway.
  • Take out the enemies in the next room and continue on. Place the Ritual Amplifier in the next hallway.
  • When you come up to the room with the electricity, shoot the Egregore Spore to the left and proceed through the hazed doorway just past the closed doorway back in the hall.
  • Grab the wrench at the end of the hallway and take it to the hazed doorway.
  • To the right, there will be another entrance to the electrified room. Jump into the opening at the top and follow the pipes to the left. Shoot the Egregore Spore again and retrieve the wrench.
  • Use the wrench on the device in front of the electrical room and proceed into the now safe space. Be mindful to stay on the catwalk, or you will die.
  • Release the containment lockdown. Proceed into the next room and eliminate all the Scorn.
  • After slaying the Scorn, proceed into the offshoot room before the hole in the ceiling and place the second Ritual Amplifier.
  • Go back into the main room and jump up the now unobstructed hole to the floor above.
  • After watching the exchange between Zavala and Safiyah, head through the unlocked door and set the third Ritual Amplifier.
  • Push forward into the circular room and shoot the Egregore Spore at the end of it. Immediately turn around and drop into the lit hole.
  • Don't forget to place your Rally Banner and speak with Zavala to begin the final encounter!
