Archon's Forge

General Information

Archon's Forge is the co-op arena and public event in The Plaguelands.

• Archon's Forge was released in Rise of Iron expansion.

Bungie calls it a "Thunderdome-esque battle arena". Players can activate Archon's Forge with SIVA Offerings found in the Plaguelands. Each event, players will battle waves of SIVA-enhanced enemies for 5 minutes then finish off with a Boss battle.

The entrance to The Warrens is located here, which leads to Site 6

Unlock and Participate

Archon's Forge is unlocked after the player has completed the main storyline of Rise of Iron. Splicers on Patrol will begin dropping SIVA Offerings of various types and rarity.

Archon's Forge is located in the Archon's Keep area. When approaching the Forge area, players will see a small Fallen console. When approaching this console, players will use SIVA Offerings to start the public event.

Trick to Find Players

A lot of times there'll be no other players when you attempt to do Archon's Forge. Instead of waiting for other players, you can trick the Destiny matchmaking servers to group you to a instance with other players.

When you're arriving to the entrance of Archon's Forge in Archon's Keep, get off your Sparrow. Walk very slowly, crouch if needed, until you are prompted on screen showing that you are now inside the Archon's Forge instance. If there are no one inside, leave the instance, run around in Archon's Keep for a few minute and walk slowly back into Archon's Forge. Repeat this process until you find an instance with people.

Types and Difficulty

SIVA Offering of different rarity determine the difficulty of the events:

SIVA Rarity	Light Level of Event	Rewards	Additional Info
Uncommon	320
Rare	340
Legendary	360

SIVA Offering of different types determine the type of enemies: Dreg, Shank, Captain.

Additional Mechanics

• You can use a Splicer Key to get back into an event after you have died. When you die and respawn on your own during an event, you'll be teleported behind a laser grid. You cannot go through the grid without dying unless you use a Splicer Key on the Fallen Console.

Rewards

Difficulty Tiers do NOT determine the quality of completion rewards. You can receive all the rewards from any difficulty. Higher difficulty only increases the drop rate of rewards.

Other Rewards

• Saladin's Vigil - Legendary Fusion Rifle
• But Not Forgotten - Legendary Sniper Rifle
• Rare Engrams
• Legendary Engrams
