Hey, Freelancer! Please help Anthem Wiki by adding the missing ??? in this page. |
Sentinels are asking the Freelancer to help them with their annual Season of Skulls Festival tradition of lighting a Bonfire.
Hints and Suggestions
- The dialog exchange between the characters will change depending on whether single player or multiplayer mode is played.
- Remember to perform Feats to obtain XP for increasing Pilot Level and receiving Alliance bonus.
- This particular expedition may have a video walkthrough after the Cortex Entry section for documentation.
- Do not stray too far away from the Cypher Projected green circle.
- Destroying the Fire Scourge Scar is very important and the only way to keep the pyre lit.
- Scar infantry can be easily tackled with any Combat Equipment. Items that do Blast Damage are more useful when they are in hordes.
- For Scar Scouts and Scar Hunters it is best to focus on stripping their shields with lightning or Shield Breaker damage, then do further damage using any type.
- Scar Destroyers' seeker mines are filled with acid which can reduce resistance of the javelin. They can deploy them infinite times. One mine may be tolerable, but several mines can automatically target a javelin and bring it down. Whenever a Destroyer is seen, defeat it quickly with any equipment.
- Scar Hunters can do a lot of damage They must be a priority when tackling Scar enemies. Once their shields are stripped, freeze them using ice or render them flightless with fire and focus on the Weak Points.
- Scar Enforcers have armored health. They don’t do much damage. Using armor buster, acid, or fire type damage is the best way to deal with them.

Anthem. These guides show almost all possible incidents that may occur during each playthrough of this particular expedition.
