These nodes are circular in shape and stand out from the rusted objects in the room. When shot, the nodes will make a squeaking noise, and start spinning counterclockwise. When shot again twice, will start spinning clockwise. Weapons with thermal sights also help highlight where the gears are located, such as [[CALUS Mini-Tool]]. | ||
In two of the cells, skeletons can be found on the floor. The directions of gears must spin will be determined by which hand the tally marks are next to. For example, if a player finds that one skeleton's right hand has 4 tally marks next to it, that means 4 of the wheels/gears must be spinning to he right (clockwise), and the other two must be spinning to the left (counter-clockwise). All of the gears must be spinning in order to open the prison cells. | |||
After setting the nodes going in a certain direction, a glowing switch can be seen at the lock of one of the cells. This needs to be shot to trigger the mechanism that unlocks the cell doors. When a guardian is solo, they will have access to all prison cells and will be able to likewise access all nodes throughout the prison. | |||
After opening the doors, Guardians will grab their loot from the previous encounter and will continue on through the ancient castle. | After opening the doors, Guardians will grab their loot from the previous encounter and will continue on through the ancient castle. | ||

The Locus will start by summoning a set of Blighted Eyes, shielding it and attacking players. Guardians will need to shoot these eyes to trigger Imminent Wish, which causes Broken Knights to spawn on each end of the arena. Upon death, Broken Knights will drop corrupted Ether Totems, which need to be cleansed with Imminent Wish. Broken Knights will occasionally also spawn ether totems through their attacks, so it is best to wait for Broken Knights to summon their totem before killing them. | The Locus will start by summoning a set of Blighted Eyes, shielding it and attacking players.

Upon attempting to cleanse totems, a howling snowstorm will occur, giving players the Biting Cold debuff. Upon reaching ten stacks, players with the debuff will be frozen and killed. Around the map are torches that provide the Shelter From The Storm buff, which if activated, will remove all stacks of Biting Cold. Guardians will need to continue to use Imminent Wish to cleanse the totems, while also looking out for Biting Cold and using Shelter from the storm to remove Biting Cold. | Upon attempting to cleanse totems, a howling snowstorm will occur, giving players the Biting Cold debuff.

After Imminent Wish ends, [[Solar]] charges will spawn in the center of the arena. These charges must be transported to any one of the four pillars in the center of the arena and lit to bring Guardians one step closer to a damage phase. Guardians should keep in mind that the amount of solar charges that spawn are influenced by however many totems are cleansed. | After Imminent Wish ends, [[Solar]] charges will spawn in the center of the arena.

Immediately after the fourth pillar has been lit, the damage phase begins..

Once a player stands near one of the 4 pillars during damage phase, they will have used up that pillar, even if they step into it by accident. Sticking together as a group is recommended while doing damage, so as not to waste any valuable time before the damage phase ends. | ||
After the Locus is banished, the taken barrier at the back of the arena will dissipate. Guardians should grab their loot and continue on their way to the mountain summit and the top of the castle. | After the Locus is banished, the taken barrier at the back of the arena, behind the Ogre, will dissipate.
