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 |

|---|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | 320 | ||
| Rare | 340 | ||

SIVA Offering of different types determine the type of enemies: Dreg, Shank, Captain.
How to Obtain Archon's Forge Boon
When you hear alarms and the text "Your Worth will be tested" appears on the screen, several SIVA nodes will appear around the arena. Destroy the nodes ASAP. If you destroy them fast enough, 1 of the 2 unused sphere in Archon's Forge will open up and reveal 3 Iron Battleaxes. You obtains the Boon when you pick up the Battleaxe
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.
