Dust Palace

A new Cabal force has unleashed powerful Psion Flayers to seize control of the old Martian Warmind. Face this new threat and secure what remains of the ancient network. - The Director

"The Dust Palace is lost to us again. Back in Cabal hands. Word is they've let Psion Flayers out of their cages, to dig around in the Central AI's Cortex. Which means they really want what's buried in there. If Rasputin was protecting it, it's valuable. We've got to flush those Flayers out." - Cayde-6

Dust Palace is unlocked by default. It may be accessed from the Director by selecting its icon on Mars.

Mechanics

In this encounter, the player must face three Ultras at the same time. Each Flayer is protected by a shield of a particular element:

• Vatch: Solar Shield
• Kolar: Arc Shield
• Numoc: Void Shield

These shields are unremarkable and follow the standard rules for elemental damage. Note that adds will enter the arena once certain damage thresholds have been met; this includes, but is not limited to, the death of the first and second Flayer. All three Flayers must be killed to complete the encounter.
