The Gouge mission in the Destiny 2 DLC takes you straight from the end of Saturnism into a dangerous hunt for the House of Exile’s Prime Servitor. Along the way, you will solve puzzles, break through multiple shields, and fight tough enemies in tight spaces. The mission ends with a challenging multi-phase boss fight, so make sure you are ready with strong weapons and a build that can deal heavy damage. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you through it.
Gouge Mission in Destiny 2 DLC
Getting to the Gouge mission is pretty simple; it’s a straight path from where you finish Saturnism. Once you are in, get ready for a multi-phase boss fight, so make sure you bring a strong Heavy weapon or a build that’s good at dealing big damage to bosses.
Before you face the boss, there is a quick puzzle to solve. You will need to use the Relocator to bounce a launcher shot through a maze filled with Fallen laser mines. Take your time lining up the angles, and you will get through without much trouble.
Gouge Mission Walkthrough in Destiny 2 DLC
You are hunting down the House of Exile’s Prime Servitor. Take it out, grab the strangelet capsule it is guarding, and break the Archon’s grip on his House.
Clearing the First Shields
Start by clearing out the Fallen in the first area. Destroy the shield generator to drop the first shield. Keep moving through the halls; there are more Servitors to deal with, and taking them down will lower the next shield protecting another generator. Destroy that generator to open up the doorway. In the next room, clear out all enemies, including a big Servitor, and you will reach a checkpoint with a chest.
Using the Relocator
Follow the waypoint to find a Relocator. Use it to set up a teleporter that lets you get past lasers and a fan. In the new area, look for another Relocator hidden through a tunnel. Teleport again and you will reach a Matterspark node, letting you squeeze through a pipe.
Tracking the Overseer
Follow the trail of tripwires and mines to the next zone. Here, you will face a Superior Overseer Servitor. Find its shield generator and destroy it. Watch out for a Distribution Servitor called Holy Vessel. When it goes down, it spawns three Largos (Diminished Servitors). Wipe them all out before moving on.
Puzzle with Relays
Your waypoint will now lead you to a tube full of lasers. Go to the room above to grab another Relocator. Rotate one of the relays until it points downward, then shoot the Relocator through it to teleport to the next area. Drop a Rally Banner and get ready for another fight. Disable the lock to push forward, but be ready, more enemies will spawn. Fight through them, run through the open door, and follow the path back to the starting room. Destroy the generator there, and you will trigger the boss fight against Giver’s Bounty, the Exile Prime Servitor.
The Boss Fight – First Phase
Take off the first chunk of the boss’s health. Grab a Relocator, shoot the relay through the growth, and teleport behind the boss. Defeat another Distribution Servitor that appears, then fight through a corridor to find another Relocator. Use it to hit a pad through some growths, which reopens the generator room. Destroy the generator, kill the Servitor, and go back to damaging the boss.
The Boss Fight – Final Phase
With one health chunk left, grab a nearby Relocator and shoot the relay. Jump through the teleporter, clear out more enemies, and turn into a Matterspark ball to crawl through a small space. This leads to another generator blowing up, take down the Servitor, and finish off the boss. Once the Prime Servitor is down, collect your loot and pick up the strangelet capsule to complete the mission.
