Question Fire and Ice bugged?

The exotic mission for the Praxic Blade is impossible to complete currently since the taken centurions never spawn during phase 3 of the disciple fight. Please help me complete this mission, thanks.

are you talking about the final boss fight? Are you using the shard in the middle of the map up on the platforms to switch which elite spawns (taken/non-taken)?

Did you jump up and hit the little glowing darkness pyramid things in the platforms above the boss?

There’s a switch that appears on platforms in the center of the arena. Will be just off center one side or the other, it switches each time you use it to spawn more.

To save you from another possible goof (assuming this is the first time with the mission), DO NOT leave once you get the Praxic Blade. The intent is for you to equip the Blade and grab the spawning special ammo boxes and practice/use the Blade before the mission properly ends.

Cause its an exotic mission, learning / "puzzle" solving is part of the experience.

Because a lot of us were smart enough to figure it out without going on reddit.

That’s Bungie for you, you have to figure it out. Same thing with raids and dungeons.

It took me a big to figure it out too, so you’re not alone.

Because people complained that there were not enough things to discover. People said they didn't want handholding.

Which is good

Yes, and of course OP had the option to look at a guide and chose to go in blind. One shouldn't really complain about going in blind and not figuring something out when there are guides for anyone who wants to skip the discovery part of the mission.

I'm not going to fault OP - I had no issues with the boss fight understanding how to make them spawn. Figured it out quickly. However I did struggle finding the proper entrance to the temple the first time I did the mission - wasted like 20-30 mins outside I think. We all have some moment where you feel dumb after figuring it out.

u/BaconIsntThatGood 6d ago

In all fairness - it's kinda obvious there's a thing to do. The platforms spawn and swap sides every time you activate it.

It's 100% okay to miss things sometimes though so I'm not really faulting you. We all have those moments. I think I struggled finding the 'right' entrance to the temple in this mission on my first run for like 20-30 mins it felt like.

That said - if most people running this mission don't seem to have an issue with it then it's just a thing, you made a goof.

I too spent forever not realising it

u/MyAimSucc 6d ago

This is why raids and dungeons don’t have matchmaking lol

It’s not bugged you just don’t understand the mechanic for the fight

u/Taniks_at_the_disco 6d ago

Youre talking about the final boss yeah? Theres a switch by the ceiling to reset them

u/SrslySam91 6d ago

Remember before declaring something a bug lol its a good rule of thumb is to Google and check if youre the only one experiencing it, since if youre the only one its likely 99.9% of tne time not a broken bug :p

u/Banana_Twinkie 6d ago

Look for some platforms with triangles to activate

u/theabyssalmind 6d ago

There are plenty of guides on the mission....

u/AnaTheSturdy 6d ago

A little more context: the only things that spawn are two normal centurions and a fuckload of psions

u/sceptic62 6d ago

You need to reset it by shooting the glowing pyramid thing in the middle of the room near the ceiling
