Sentinel Barracks Mission Walkthrough
1. Clear the Barracks
Alright, so you’re dropped right into the thick of it at the start of the mission — deep inside the Sentinel Barracks. First thing you’re gonna want to do is grab that Pulverizer. It’s just sitting there like it wants to be used.
Once you've got it, head into the main facility and get ready, ‘cause you’re not alone. The first wave hits you pretty fast, as demons are all over the place. Use that new Pulverizer to smash your way through. It’s got weight, and you’ll feel it every time it connects. It's gonna be satisfying indeed.
After you clear them out, don’t hang around too long. Head outside the barracks and start making your way up the stairs. There’s more hellspawn waiting up top and inside, too. Once you survive that chaos, you’ll drop down into this massive area, the Atlan hangar. And yeah, guess what? There will be more demons.
Wipe out the last of them, and you’ll see something glowing red at the far end near the door. That’s your Ruby, just waiting for you. Pick it up and you’re ready for the next phase. You will also acquire a new weapon called Impaler.
2. Enter Dragon's Den
Alright, once you've got that first Ruby, get ready again. As another wave of demons comes at you, this is a good spot to try out your new weapon, the Impaler. if you upgrade it at the Sentinel Shrine nearby, it gets even nastier.
Now look to your left once you're through the fight. There's this big metal crate that looks like it doesn’t belong. Here's the trick: use your shield recall jump and time it so you can shield charge it from behind. That’ll slam it forward and open up a path upward. Little puzzle, but not too bad once you figure it out.
Climb up and move through to the next zone. You’ll get jumped by another pack of demons, including a Mancubus Leader that’s chunkier and meaner than the regular ones. Take him out fast or he’ll shred you with those double cannons.
Once that’s handled, look for a broken bridge up ahead. Instead of going forward, jump down below it. Don’t rush past, turn around down there, and you’ll spot a hidden path. That’ll lead you toward the second Ruby and a cluster of Hell Cultists guarding it.
3. Boss Fight of Sentinels Barrack Mission: Vagary Champion
Alright, this is time to throw down with the big one: Vagary Champion. Before you go charging in like a mad slayer, take a second to gear up. There’s a Sentinel Shrine just before the fight, don’t skip it.
Use it to give your weapons or gear that extra punch. You’ll need it. Also, look around for the Sentinel Barracks Codex near the edge of the arena entrance, it is easy to miss if you're rushing. defeat the Vagary Champion, combine precise parries with quick melee strikes and powerful ranged weapons. Time your blocks to stagger the boss, then follow up with close-range attacks.
