“Race to the top of the Devils' Spire and find the core component before the Taken claim it for Oryx.”
“Find the Core Component” is an objective in the mission Shadow Call in Destiny: The Taken King
Walkthrough[edit]
The mission begins at the bridge leading over to the Devil's Spire. This is a timed mission with a limit of 4:00 minutes. You are going to be running the entire time. Stop only if you cannot avoid it. The time limit is fairly tight to what it takes. You want at least 1:30-2:00 minutes when you reach the top.
Start by running across the bridge. Be mindful of the gaps and make the long jump over to the Colony Ship itself.
Head up the slope behind the Taken Portal. You may get slowed by Shadow Touch but do not stop and engage!
Jump across and climb through the open door on the far side.
On through the door, go to the right. Jump up onto the ledge above you. Run ahead and turn to the left as soon as you can. Ascend up to the next ledge just after you turn the corner. Be careful because on top of the first ledge above you here is a Taken Wizard. You can just run straight by her without much trouble.
Head across the next gap with a jump/glide/lift. This eliminates the chance of falling and losing progress. Follow the walkway over to the left and take the stairs up (or just jump over them).
Head over to the right and jump up to the next level after that. Duck down once up there. Slip underneath the low hanging ceiling and get across the gap. You can step up on you make it to past the midpoint on the beam. Jump over to the platform on the left.
Turn to the right after that, run and jump across the gap. Climb up the next ledge and follow the covered walkway to the right. Jump over or slide under the toppled support. Ignore the Tortured Wizard that attacks you after that. Instead, head into the door on the right. Quickly deal with the Consumed Shadows that are attacking from the doorway. They are blocking your path forward.
Head through the corridor. Likely you will be slowed by a Taken Portal. Just push through. The portal is a level above you and not immediately accessible.
Around the corner and up the stairwell. Go to the left at the top and jump up onto the walkway above the floor. The Taken Portal is just in front of you. Either run past it or gun it down. It remains better to run by, while shooting it. There are more Tortured Wizards beyond the portal. Keep to the left to avoid most of their fire.
Circle around the Wizards and make your way over to the gravity lift. Run into it. Use the lift time to reload everything and get ready for a fight.
When you land, head for the lone chest in front of you. Open it up to trigger the boss fight against 3 Hallowed Wizards. They will stay on the rooftops that they spawn on. Otherwise they loose an unrelenting barrage of Energy Blasts. Move in on each in turn. If you have an Arc Shotgun you can tear through each quickly. Otherwise, use a very powerful weapon to get through their shields and then focus on head shots for quick elimination.
