(Heroic) Release

Overview

(Heroic) Release is the Heroic version of the Adventure Release on Nessus. Failsafe wants the Vex stopped from capturing Fallen in a cave near The Tangle.

Heroic Adventures were a Year 1 feature: each week the destination of the active Flashpoint had its Adventures flagged as Heroic, in the rotation European Dead Zone, Nessus, Tangled Shore, Io, Mercury, Titan, Mars (per player reports). They are launched from the destination map, or from the NPC who offers the Adventure (Failsafe). The game lists them at a nominal 750 Power; the standard Adventure recommendation is +90 Power, and the game data does not state a separate Heroic difficulty. Players describe them as only modestly harder than the normal version. Heroic completions count towards the Wayfarer seal triumphs. Sources disagree or are sparse on Heroic-specific rewards; none are documented beyond the normal Adventure's.

Encounters and mechanics

1. Enter the cave system and destroy Vex barriers and research constructs.
2. Free imprisoned House of Dusk Fallen (the Vex offered freedom if they fought each other; none did). Freed Fallen attack you anyway.
3. Defeat two Ultra Vex Wardens.

Rewards

Completion counts towards the Wayfarer seal; the base Adventure Release has the same story and steps. No Heroic-specific loot is documented in sources.
