Destinypedia doesn't currently have a walkthrough for this level; could you write one?

 

Shattered Shield is the first mission of Pinnacle of Fear and follows The Guardian and Lord Saladin taking a Braytech outpost for the Iron War Beasts and the Imperial Cabal. However Lord Saladin ends up being kidnapped by Neriks, The Cobra and Xavias, Kell of Fear. This serves as an introduction to both antagonists and their ambitions as well as the fact that the House of Fear are leaving Riis-Reborn and spreading out to the system.

Transcript[edit]

Mission starts with The Guardian approaching Saladin on Europa.

  • Saladin: Guardian! Thank you for coming on such...short notice.
  • Ghost: Of course, we're happy to help. So, what's the mission?
  • Saladin: Not far from here, there's an old Braytech outpost infested by Vex. I decide I need a new outpost for my Iron War Beasts, this place looks perfect. Also it'll be a good training exercise for the troops.
  • Ghost: Alright, let's do it.

Saladin turns to his men as two Harvester]s land and Imperial Cabal exit.

  • Saladin: This is Valus Forge speaking, prepare for an assualt. Our target is a Braytech facility across the tunnels. We are moving out immediately.

Now you follow Saladin and the Imperial Cabal troops to an area overlooking the base.

  • Saladin: Not far now, Guardian. Troops! The Ritual of Combat is upon us, take me that outpost!

The Cabal roar and you follow them and fight through the outpost. Vex of the Sol Collective are the enemies, and after making it to the base and fighting some of the Vex on the outside, Saladin calls out to you.

  • Saladin: Push forward, Guardian. I will send a few of my troops with you!

Heading into the dark base, you're jump scared by Vex a few times but kill all of them. The next objective is to report back to Saladin so you exit the building. Then a cutscene starts as you hear Fallen gunshots in the distance.

An explosion hits the Guardian right after the shadow of a Ketch covers the area. When the wounded Guardian looks up, he's met with the barrel of a revolver to his skull. Neriks holds it to their head.

  • Neriks: Guardian, it's a pleasure.

Another Captain arrives, a squad of guards surrounding him. This Fallen is different, however. His left arm is covered in Stasis crystals.

  • Xavias: The first step has been completed, first Stasis, now the Light. Oh, The Guardian in the flesh? Who knew I was so lucky!
  • Xavias: Wouldn't matter, the temporary darkness zone is out. I assume we'll meet again, Guardian. We'll be taking your friend over here, I recommend you don't try and come after him. EXECUTE THE REST OF THE PRISONERS, WE'RE LEAVING!

They transmit away and the Ketch takes off just as a Cabal Warship arrives. Empress Caiatl transmits down and Ghost heals you.

  • Caiatl: Guardian, what happened?
  • Guardian: Saladin...they took him.
  • Caiatl: Who? Who took him!?
  • Guardian: The House of Fear, they've returned.
