After stepping into the Gatehouse, you will encounter a battle involving the the Fallen and the Hive. Allow them to kill each other for a bit. Be careful of the Wizard and Servitor when you fight them. Proceed to the sword room, where Fallen and Hive are still fighting. Continue to the cave via the right door.

3. Find the Shrine: At the other side of the Baron’s lair is another tunnel. This tunnel leads to the Circle of Bones. Stick to the left wall, while eliminating any Hive enemies that get in front of you. Continue to go forward til you arrive at the other opening. Adhere to this cavern til you have arrived at the Hall of Wisdom. At that point, Darkness Zone begins.

Midway over the hall, go right to find the entrance into the shrine. You will need to defeat a number of Acolytes, a Knight, and a Wizard before entering.

Use your Heaviest weapons and attacks to kill it. There is another Knight inside the slender hallway prior to the shrine.

4. Take Out the Hive: There are Acolytes defending the shrine onward. Start eliminating them as soon as possible. When all of the Acolytes are dead, go to the center of the room.

5. Weaken the Shrine: Use you Ghost in the Shrine of Oryx in order to find a way to destroy the monument. After a short time, Sardok, the Eye of Oryx Knight arrives.

6. Kill the Knight: Sark, the Eye of Oryx Knight is an Ultra Knight, be careful when you engage him. Be sure to kill the adds behind cover first then attack him.
