HEROIC PUBLIC EVENTS
Last Updated: 03/14/2023
What are Public Events?
- Public Events are “free roam” events that allow all players in a given instance to work together to complete a specific objective and earn experience and loot.
- The Director Maps will display icons to indicate that a public event is incoming or active. Hovering over the icon provides additional information.
- For a greater challenge (and greater reward), players can make the public event heroic by activating the hidden trigger within the public event. This guide goes over how to make each public event heroic!
- Players have a limited window to trigger the heroic variant, which typically spawns a special boss. Once triggered, you will see a banner indicating that you’ve joined a heroic event.
- Successfully completing public events reward loot, XP and large amounts of glimmer − especially if it was a heroic public event!
VEX STRIKE FORCE: SUPERNUMERARY BLITZ
DEFEAT 6 MINOTAURS SUPERNUMEROS TO COMPLETE THE EVENT.
This rare public event on Neomuna tasks Guardians to defeat Minotaur bosses within a 10-minute period. Use Arc Craniums to defeat the shielded Minotaurs. The Arc Craniums in general do amazing damage and are great for DPS! It is currently unknown if there is a heroic variant. Note that this public event only occurs in the Weekly Vex Incursion Zone. Completing this public event rewards a guaranteed exotic!
LOCATIONS
- NEOMUNA
Notes:
- This is a great source for Strand Meditations.
- This public event is more rare in nature, and will only be in the Vex Incursion Zone on Neomuna.
- Guardians have reported massive drops in frames during this activity, which can cause game crashes. If your platform is known to crash in these circumstances, try playing at a distance until Bungie can resolve this (if possible).
RESONANT DESTRUCTION
DETONATE RESONANT CHARGES ON THE PYRAMID SUPERWEAPON
The main objective is to defeat enemies and escort the Pyramid Splinter to its intended destination. To make it heroic, you will need to pick up resonant charges and throw them at the superweapon. Resonant Charges drop when defeating groups of enemies. Throwing 5-6 charges will make the event heroic, spawning additional bosses at the end of the event to eliminate.
LOCATIONS
- SAVATHÛN’S THRONE WORLD
Note: The Resonant Charges can be hard to see amongst the chaos of battle. Do a quick check after defeating enemies!
CRUX CONVERGENCE
DESTROY FALLEN DRONES SURROUNDING CRUX
During each of this event’s three capture phases, Fallen Drones will be analyzing the Crux. Typically, two drones will be static and a third would be moving around. Destroy all three drones per capture phase. Once heroic, a taller Brig referred to as a Fallen Commodore will spawn. Destroy that mech to finish the heroic event.
LOCATIONS
- EUROPA
Note: Be sure to destroy the drones before you reach 100% on the capture plates!
GLIMMER EXTRACTION
DESTROY THREE GLIMMER NODES
During each of this event’s three phases, a glimmer node will appear in each extraction zone. Destroy all three glimmer nodes to trigger the heroic variation. From there, stand in the pool of glimmer to capture it while facing fallen combatants.
LOCATIONS
- EUROPEAN DEAD ZONE
- COSMODROME
- EUROPA
- NESSUS
Note: If you miss a phase, the next phase will have an additional node for you to destroy.
CABAL EXCAVATION
DESTROY THE THRESHER
Once you have captured 32% of the drill, be on the lookout for a Cabal Thresher. Destroy the Thresher to trigger the heroic variation, which will then spawn a Cabal Boss.
LOCATIONS
- EUROPEAN DEAD ZONE
- NESSUS
- NEOMUNA
Note: The Thresher will do a rotation until the public event ends. It is recommended to stop capturing the point until you destroy the ship.
ETHER RESUPPLY
DESTROY THE SMALLER ELITE SERVITORS
When the event spawns, deal damage to the Servitor. At about 60% health, the Ether Servitor will spawn three smaller elite servitors. Destroy all three before they disappear.
LOCATIONS
- EUROPEAN DEAD ZONE
- EUROPA
- NESSUS
- MOON
Note: Be quick! The elite servitors do not stay for long. Use special or heavy ammo to destroy them quickly.
WEAPONS EXCHANGE
DEACTIVATE THREE FORCE-FIELDS
As the public event triggers, you will notice three force-fields surrounding the event. When the arsenal walker arrives, destroy a leg to spawn three arc charges. Use these arc charges to deactivate the force-fields (you will need six arc charges in total). Once the heroic variation is triggered, a second arsenal walker will arrive. Eliminate both walkers.
LOCATIONS
- EUROPEAN DEAD ZONE
- COSMODROME
- NESSUS
- MOON
Note: Low on ammo? Each force-field has a Scorch Cannon, which you can use to destroy additional legs on the walker.
INJECTION RIG
DESTROY OPEN VENTS
When the Injection Rig arrives, you will notice three open vents that immediately close. Those vents need to be destroyed in order to trigger the heroic event. To open the vents, eliminate the Elite Psion that spawns. You will have up to three phases to destroy the vents. Be careful! As the vents open, anyone inside the rig will start burning. Once the heroic is triggered, a Cabal boss will arrive. Eliminate the boss.
LOCATIONS
- EUROPEAN DEAD ZONE
- NESSUS
Note: Standing on the very edge of the heating aura will allow you to damage the vents without taking burn damage!
VEX SPIRE INTEGRATION
CAPTURE THREE VEX PLATES
Stand on and secure the three capture plates that are located around the event. Beams of light from the spire will show the locations of the plates. When the heroic variant triggers, a Vex Hydra and two Vex Cyclops will spawn. Continue to defend the spire until time runs out.
LOCATIONS
- EUROPA
- NESSUS
- NEOMUNA
Note: Be sure to defend the spire! You cannot let ten vex sacrifice, or you will lose the event!
WITCHES RITUAL
DESTROY TWO SHIELDED CRYSTALS
Eliminate the two shielded Wizards by standing on the two Sigil plates. Continue to stand on the plates and the two crystals, located on each side of the portal, will lose their shields. Destroy the crystals. When the heroic variant is triggered, an Abysmal Champion will appear. Destroy the Hive boxx.
LOCATIONS
- MOON
- SAVATHÛN’S THRONE WORLD
Note: Throw a grenade at the portal after destroying the wizards. Hive Thrall will spawn in hordes! Don’t end up like Vell Tarlowe.
TAKEN BLIGHT
DESTROY THE LARGE BLIGHT
When the event activates, you will notice three blights on the ground and one large blight above. You will need to destroy the large blight to trigger the heroic version. To do so, enter and exit the smaller blight to get the ‘Blight Receding’ buff, which will last for five seconds and allows you to deal with the main blight. Refrain from eliminating combatants surrounding the event, as you will make the event move to a secondary location. When the large blight is destroyed, a Taken Boss will appear. Destroy it.
LOCATIONS
- EDZ
- THE DREAMING CITY
Note: Fighting solo? The event has three phases, and each phase the large blight grows weaker. Wait until the last phase and deal your damage. Unless you have Wardcliff Coil. That’ll do the trick…
WARSAT DOWN
KILL THE THREE SHRIEKERS
While you are capturing the Warsat, two shielded wizards will spawn every 25%. Destroying the wizards will allow the Shriekers to open up. Destroy all three Shriekers.
LOCATIONS
- MOON
- COSMODROME
Note: Missed a Shrieker? Not to worry. You’ll be able to damage it after killing the next phase of Wizards.
ETHER RITUAL
SHOOT ETHER SPORES
Eliminate each Chieftain that spawns. White ether spores will begin floating toward the trapped servitor (middle structure). Shoot each ether spore and prevent them from reaching the Servitor. Repeat 3x. This will spawn the heroic variant and spawn a Scorn Baron. Eliminate the boss.
LOCATIONS
- TANGLED SHORE
- THE DREAMING CITY
- SAVATHÛN’S THRONE WORLD
Note: You cannot let a single ether spore reach the servitor or you will not be able to make the event heroic!
RIFT GENERATOR
DESTROY BLIGHTS & WIZARDS
Defend the rift generator. At the end of each wave, a Blight will spawn over the water at any of the sides. Repeat 3x and a giant Blight will spawn over the rift generator surrounded by three Wizards. Kill all three wizards before the rift generator is destroyed and you will be teleported into an Ascendant Realm. Deal damage to each of the wizards surrounding the Taken boss to trigger the heroic event. Destroy the Taken Boss before time runs out.
LOCATIONS
- THE STRAND, LOCATED IN THE DREAMING CITY
Note: During the waves of Scorn, abominations will spawn. Killing them spawns an arc charge. Deposit this into the rift generator to replenish its health, if needed.
