[b]*Q&A near the bottom*[/b] [u]Requirements:[/u] [b]1)[/b] Load up the Taken King Story mission "Lost to Light" from the Moon and set it to "Light 240 Hard" [b]2)[/b] Go as fast as possible. Skip all the hostiles you can up until the Ogre boss. Try and eliminate it as fast as you can. [b]3)[/b] After retrieving the Crystal, Oryx appears in holographic form. You will have to escape the Hellmouth as fast as you can. [b]4)[/b] After bypassing two doors, you will come to a third. This one requires three Relics and is located by a Hive Seeder. Ignore this and instead head towards the doors which lead to the Fallen Ketch. Just like in The Shadow Thief Strike. [b]5)[/b] Head towards the gravity lift. Make sure you are ready then head on up. [b]6)[/b] As soon as encounter your first Taken threat, you will be put on a 10:00 minute timer. [b]7)[/b] Progress through the ship, kill everything [I]Note: I scanned the big rock during the mission. You encounter this on your way up to the crystal. However, I doubt this has any effect. Good luck.[/I] [u]Rewards:[/u] Rewards are the Black Spindle (Exotic Black Hammer variant) [u]and/or[/u] the Vienna Singer (ship). [u]Proof:[/u] Ship (Vienna Singer) - http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Red%20Motive/screenshot/1616000 Sniper (Black Spindle) - http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Red%20Motive/screenshot/1615999# [u]Q&A:[/u] [b]Q[/b] - If you fail, can you simply load the mission back up and try again? [b]A[/b] - Yes. [b]Q[/b] - Does it have to be the Daily Heroic Story? [b]A[/b] - No. You can select the mission "Lost to Light" from Earth's Moon, and bump it up to 240 Light (Hard) as well. If you have not yet completed the Daily Heroic Mission I recommend you do so as you will still be awarded Legendary Marks upon completion of the secret mission. [b]Q[/b] - What Light level do you recommend? [b]A[/b] - 290 or higher. [b]Q[/b] - Is the Black Hammer Runestone required? [b]A[/b] - No. The Runestone is just a marker telling you where to get the Black Spindle. Funnily enough, I was just lucky enough to stumble upon it! [b]Q[/b] - Can I solo this? Or should I bring in a Fireteam? [b]A[/b] - Most likely, yes. It will, however, be extremely difficult. I highly recommend a Fireteam. [b]Q[/b] - Do I have to complete the mission, then go to the Ketch? Or can I go straight to the Ketch during the mission? [b]A[/b] - You can go straight to the Ketch during the mission. The mission ends on the Ketch instead. [b]Q[/b] - Will the Black Spindle be available as an Exotic Blueprint? [b]A[/b] - Yes. You can purchase one for a single Exotic Shard. You could even buy multiple and later infuse other guns into it! [b]Q[/b] - Do you need to be 300+ light for it to be a 310 weapons or is it always 310? [b]A[/b] - No. Black Spindle will always be 310 Light. [b]*[/b] [b]Q[/b] - Can anyone die? [b]A[/b] - Yes. However, your entire team can not die simultaneously. If you are soloing it, you can not die at all. ... [b]*[/b] Bungie have announced that this Attack value was a bug, and will be brought down to be on par with other Exotics in terms of Attack value (290). Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/155921520/0/0 I suggest purchasing more Black Spindles and then infusing a Legendary and afterwards infusing the Black Spindle back! Or any weapon of your choosing. :) Edit: Sorry if I can't bump you all! [b]Special thanks to Tervnado and GuppyBuddy for helping me out! You guys are the best! ^_^[/b]
