Wrath of the Machine – Siege Engine
The Siege Engine in Destiny: Rise of Iron’s Wrath of the Machine raid is probably the portion of the challenge that most players are familiar with. That is because this is what Bungie kept showing off leading up to this long-awaited challenge. The basic premise is that there is a huge death train moving across a bridge and you’re in its way. On top of that, there are a ton of additional enemies trying to stop you. This can be the shortest part of the raid as long as you all communicate, but it is easily the most dangerous.
When the section begins, have one player dedicated to covering enemies (preferably a Stormcaller if you have one). The rest will focus on the Siege Engine’s front. There is a round area that we’ll call the face (flames shoot out from around it). To the left and right of this “face” are two small cannons. Blow those up, then the face will open revealing a glowing core. Shoot that and that will grant the Guardians access to the top of this death machine.
You’ll crash through a wall and the the train will stop. Move across the new area and kill the captains there to reveal the three missing parts you need to repair. Those parts are very heavy, so you can only carry one for nine seconds at a time, then you must rest for nine. To counter this, you must move as a group, covering one another and swapping out carrying duties. When you get back to the Siege Engine, there will be a captain named Meksis waiting for you. Kill him fast, so you can drop the ramp that will allow you to take the parts up to their places. Then you can ride the machine to the end of this section.
