This is a simple jumping puzzle as you move towards the far side.

You should keep an eye out for large, bulbous plants.

Shooting these will cause their leaves to temporarily fan out, giving you a platform to aid your path.

Once you reach the end with the small Vex detachment you will arrive at a large open area.

From here you’re able to move straight ahead (mind the snipers!

), and you will soon approach a sealed door guarded by a mini-boss Phalanx.

Above his head will be a symbol, and the same symbol will be displayed above the door.

There is a pool of light nearby, standing inside of that grants a buff called Sires Obligation.

You must have this buff active so that damage the Phalanx, killing the Phalanx opens the door.

A pool of light will be near the front center of this room.

At the far end of this area will be another door, this time sealed by three symbols.

The Phalanxes are spread around the left, center, and right of the room.

You will likely need to return to the pool of light multiple times as you eliminate each.

Taken those out should be a priority.

Instead look at the pool of darkness swirling in the center of the room.

Stepping into this will bestow a new buff called Dams Gift.

Ahead of you will be red misted doorways to the left, center, and right.

Once the Wyvern falls a Vex node will be exposed that you will then activate.

Using your super and/or heavy weapons is strongly encouraged.

Once all the Nodes are online the boss, Ixion, Covetous Mind Minotaur, will appear.

Clear them all out, collect your loot, and you are ready to move on.

In the center section will be a pool of darkness, giving you Dams Gift.

The left area has a door sealed by three Ahamkara Symbols, similar to the first encounter.

Use the pools of light to hunt the Phalanxes in order.

Be very careful not to eliminate a Phalanx out of order, doing so resets the encounter.

This is particularly easy to do with the middle Phalanx, since it is exposed.

Akardon itself is a strong, but fairly run-of-the-mill Hydra.

Long range attacks timed to hit in the openings if its rotating shields will do a lot of damage.

There will be adds to watch out for.

Remember that if you touch either pool before Crowned by Dragons expires that it will renew the entire buff.

you might use the pillar toward the right of the room for cover.

Keep this up and Akardon will fall.
