First Contact (triumph)

Overview

The First Contact triumph requires the completion of the First Contact mission on any difficulty. This activity serves as the introductory Story Mission for the Lightfall expansion. Upon completion, the triumph awards 15 points.

How to complete

To earn this triumph, the player must finish the First Contact mission. The narrative follows the Guardian and Osiris as they board a Shadow Legion fleet. During the mission, players encounter Cabal enemies, including Scorpions, War Beasts, Psions, Legionaries, Phalanxes, Incendiars, Gladiators, Centurions, and Colossi (in the Weekly Mission variant).

Key objectives involve sabotating the fleet by destroying the ship’s computer core and reactor. Progression requires acquiring specific keycards by defeating designated Keymasters: the War Beast Keymaster and the Chalice Keymaster. The mission culminates in an escape sequence where the player must rendezvous with Osiris at the drop pod bay. Following the crash, the player must secure the area from Shadow Legion reinforcements and defeat the boss Kavauust, Reverent of the Witness. The mission concludes after investigating a mysterious energy source and acquiring new powers.
