History of Splinter Mines

Overview

Splinter Mines are hovering Fallen mines shielded so that they cannot be damaged. Guardians must disarm them by standing inside the marked circle near the mine so their Ghost can defuse it.

Captive Memories

In Captive Memories, Splinter Mines appear around the area when Skolas emerges from his cell with Revenant Scorn forces. Players defuse them while fighting the other combatants. Skolas is the mission's only boss.

If a mine is not disarmed, it explodes across the whole fight area, which is usually lethal to everyone and fails the attempt.

Tomb of Elders

In Tomb of Elders, some mines are fake. Several mines may share a letter, but only one is real. Disarming a fake one detonates it and kills the Guardian doing the disarming. Real mines have glowing, exposed internals.
