Walkthrough[edit]

  • Dying at any point during this battle will reset you to the start of the last statue you had engaged.

Time for the real fight to begin. This is the first of 3 massive statues that you need to find: the Eschaton Mind:

Eschaton Mind

Move into the middle of the area. You will want to be on top of the ruins. This gives you a good view of the area as well as making it simple for you to attack this statue's weakpoint. You can also easily drop off the side and get out of its immediate line of fire. A side effect of the Shockwave attack is that it seems to be able to summon in Harpies to help it. Keep your distance and just focus on hitting its weak spot. With some patience it is very east to get through this fight without too much risk.

When the Eschaton Mind goes down, any remaining Vex will immediately explode. The field is cleared and readied for the next part of the battle. Reload and heal up. Next is the Imminent Mind:

Imminent Mind

Keep much same tactics. This one is more aggressive and will summon a number of Goblins. Thin their ranks a little and then focus on the Imminent Mind. You can get some easy shots in attacking from behind the very edges of the ramps on either side of the arena. Like any other Vex, its weak point is the white light in the middle of its torso. Keep some distance and use the edges of the arena to your advantage. Just attack from behind the ramp to keep most of the fire it can throw at you away. Just duck down behind the edge of the ramp when you need to cover. Once again, after you defeat it, reload everything and collect whatever ammunition you can. The last one is about to be summoned.

The final statue will now begin to animate. This is the Primeval Mind:

Primeval Mind

Of all the statues, this one is easily the most aggressive. It will range across the whole of the area it is in. It also summons the greatest variety of Vex: Minotaurs, Hobgoblins and Goblins. Fall back to the area closer to where you came in. Use that cover to thin out its helpers but do not stray too far back or the Primeval Mind will just keep attacking you. Here is where the best attacks should be brought out. Defeat this machine and the Heart of the Black Garden will be destroyed.

With its defeat you will be returned to Mars as you know it. The end cutscene will run and you will be rewarded for your efforts.
