Tips

  • It is possible to do this challenge while the HonorArtifact of Honor is active.
  • Enabling the SwarmsArtifact of Swarms can be a good strategy, as the player will only need to kill one of the two bosses spawned. This comes with the increased challenge of surviving against twice as many enemies, however.
  • A good strategy is to enable the HonorArtifact of Honor, GlassArtifact of Glass, and CommandArtifact of Command. Play as Artificer.png ArtificerArtificer.pngArtificerThe Artificer is a high burst damage survivor who excels in fighting large groups and bosses alike.

    and an otherwise default loadout. Rush straight for the Teleporter, activate it, then immediately use Ion Surge to climb higher and higher into the air.
