Once the boss is defeated, an indicator will appear on the map players should follow. It will lead them down another narrow path and open into an area where the Guardian who put out the distress signal is located. He is super dead, but this is where gamers get their prize: The Dead Man’s Tale exotic scout rifle. However, fans should not freak out if the weapon does not appear in their inventory right away, as they will have to revisit Zavala to officially unlock it and have it in their possession.

Platforming will lead players to another hangar bay, where they will need to jump upward to find another pathway. Continue forward, completing more puzzles utilizing levers, spores, and energy cores while fighting off Scorn enemies. Eventually, gamers will come to a boss room. The boss is not too difficult but does require some agility to avoid his devastating melee attacks or fire streaks. During the fight, the boss will jump down onto another floor below where the fight begins. This second area causes burn damage. So, players will need to activate three levers on the top floor, one of which is in a room that also causes burn damage. For solo players, save this switch for l
