Dry Sea

Overview

The Dry Sea is an area of the Cosmodrome on Earth, first introduced in Season of Defiance. Its connecting areas are Shadow Legion Territory and the Shadow Legion Prison. The Shadow Legion built one of its prison facilities there, and the Dry Sea shares its layout with the Forgotten Shore.

Shadow Legion Prison

Shadow Legion prisons are detention facilities built on Pyramid structures. The Shadow Legion set them up across Earth during its invasion, and the Dark Cabal uses them to hold captives taken in raids. Cabal troops guard them. The real entrance lies in the Ascendant Realm, where large numbers of Taken guard it, and the prison looks the same in both the material world and the Ascendant Realm.

Activities

The Dry Sea prison is the setting for Defiant Battleground: Cosmodrome. Fireteams scout the perimeter, open a portal into the Ascendant Plane, banish Taken and breach the pyramid outpost. The final fight is against Zatocc, who can only be damaged after his Balefire is lit and his Taken Essences are consecrated from Taken Essences. Freeing the prisoners in the holding chamber completes the activity. The guide used for this page was written in March 2023, so check the current playlist in-game before relying on availability.
