), and collect the minor arcana card ‘A Gift of Cunning’.
Next, enter the Imbaru Engine via the Director.
Here you will see two chests.
One will be the real one, the other a trap set by Savathun.
The tell will be which ismarked with this Hive Rune.
bring up the correct chest and a new group will spawn.
Now track down the two chests marked with the symbol.
Once all of the correct chests from this phase have been found one more wave will spawn.
Find the symbols once again, and open all of the correct chests.
Launch theSavathun’s Spireactivity from the H.E.L.M.
Advance all the way portal puzzle near the end of the mission.
Now enter the Imbaru Engine.
You will ride a pair of lifts into the same room where the Test of Cunning took place.
Complete the Test of Cunning, then locatethe door near where the first chests spawned.
Interact with it and it will open, allowing you to ascend the Tower further.
As you go, keep looking for doors that open when you approach.
There will be aglowing orb of lighton the ground that you might interact with to start the test.
A number of Hive enemies will spawn on each of the arrows.
Your objective is to kill specific ones, in the right order.
First you will need to know where to start.
Walk up a small ramp and interact with the glowing sphere to gainDeepsight Vision.
This will reveal white footprints leading to the first enemy.
Take this out, and look to where the arrow points for your next target.
Continue ahead following this pattern.
Eventually you will be led into a smaller chamber.
Here the pattern shifts.
Kill the first enemy, but this timeskip the next one, and take out the one after instead.
This indicates you’ve passed the test of strength, and the mission will conclude.
Enter theAlters of Summoningactivity via the H.E.L.M.

you might complete the test of Cunning for some XP, but it isn’t required.
There is a second door nearby on this level.
You will be in a round room with various hive symbols around you.
Passing through an incorrect portal will kill you and restart the test.
Look behind the doorway you entered and note thetype and location of the symbol.
The portal will open, pass through it, and repeate the process.
After you pass through the second portal the test will become more difficult.
The final room is even more challenging.
As before, look towards where you start to find the shape you are to reference.
The rest of the hive symbols will be floating in the center of the room.
Now you will need to jump to the various platforms to line them up with the various doors.
Pass through this final portal and the Test of Navigation will be complete.
As before, this begins with a minor Arcana card.
