Clear Steps

Ready, set, weird map! Okay, not really. This mission is fairly straightforward. There are a few odd gimmicks running about, and unlike Normal, this Typhon doesn’t play around, having brought trash to soak up early damage, and a friend, leaving on the central row safe from harm. Once again, you can bombard the Hydra with the Artillery Emplacements, but this is not required, and the Normal mode clear method works just fine. The method shown below will not engage the Typhon, but if you are equipped to do so, there is no reason not to kill it.

If you want to fight the Hydra, the method is fairly simple. The two consoles on the bottom of the map control the set of Artillery emplacements in the center corridor. The bottom two emplacements are ‘friendly’, and can be controlled via Console to bombard the nodes in front of them. This is used to severely weaken the Hydra. Each Artillery may only fire once, so be careful to only blast the Hydra. The leftmost Console can also disable the enemy Artillery on the upper edge of the corridor.
