Campaign spoilers: this file reveals specific boss encounters or later campaign content.

ARMAMENT

  1. 01Primary arraysCharge at the bow, then four braided spine beams sweep along its nose.
  2. 02Secondary turretsFour turrets fire twin-lobed crystal bolts.
  3. 03Prism shardsEach shield generator fans refracting shards.
  4. 04Halo wavesThe halo ring sends out segmented rings. Fly through a gap.
  5. 05Bloom seedsThe living cage seeds your lane with flowering mines. Shoot them.
  6. 06Core novaOnce exposed, the core fires heavy nova orbs.

BEHAVIOUR

  1. 01Shield generatorsFour generators feed its field. Destroy them all to collapse it.
  2. 02Living escalationStruck in the bridge, the cultivated cage blooms and regrows the field from the engine clusters.
  3. 03Core petalsWith the engines gone, four armour petals open around the core.

TACTICAL

Break the generators, VECTOR the bridge, cut the engines, then strike the core whenever the petals open.

ENGAGEMENT

  1. 01Field supremacy: destroy the four shield generators, then VECTOR the exposed bridge.
  2. 02Living escalation: the cage blooms. Destroy both engine clusters to fail the field for good.
  3. 03Core exposed: the petals open — two VECTOR strikes on the core.
  4. 04Threshold collapse: survive the last stand, then strike the core one final time.

SYSTEMS
