“Starcrossed” is, primarily, only a straight line with just a few stops alongside it, so this information will focus much less on the place to go and extra on how the mission’s three main mechanics work: Sire’s Obligation, Dam’s Present, and Topped by Dragons. Let’s break it down.
Sire’s Obligation

Your first large mechanic, which you get simply earlier than the primary main encounter, is a buff known as Sire’s Obligation. You will get it from standing in a blue pool that seems in some flowers by a locked gate. It lasts without end whilst you’re standing within the pool, however solely lasts 45 seconds as soon as you allow.
Sire’s Obligation means that you can injury Stubborn enemies and means that you can see the Final Want symbols. Use the buff to defeat the primary Stubborn Phalanx and open the door.

You’ll put Sire’s Obligation to sensible use within the first encounter. Get the buff from one of many swimming pools and look to the gate on the finish of the sector. You’ll see three symbols in a random order. You’ll must test the order your self each time, however for the sake of this information, let’s use this order for example: Dragon, Fish, Hen.
Now, together with your buff (be certain that to resume it for those who run out of time), run across the area and search for Stubborn Phalanx enemies. There are three of them, every residing underneath one of many three symbols you noticed on the door. Defeat them within the order of the mix on the door (Dragon, Fish, Hen, for this instance) and also you’ll open the best way. Defeat them within the improper order, they usually’ll all respawn.
Dam’s Present

Dam’s Present is the second mechanic on this mission, and comes from a purple puddle that comes from sure flower patches. It lasts for a similar period of time as Sire’s Obligation.
Dam’s Present means that you can stroll into the orange mist, which you’ll encounter for the primary time simply forward of the primary purple flower patch. With out Dam’s Present, you’ll take injury contained in the mist and get the Unwelcome debuff, which can ultimately kill you. Nonetheless, you’re secure within the mist so long as you keep Dam’s Present.

After you run by way of the preliminary mist, you’ll want to make use of Dam’s Present to finish the second encounter. You’ll discover a purple puddle in a small area and three passageways coated in orange mist: left, proper, and center. Use Dam’s Present to stroll every of those paths and shortly kill the Gatekeeper Wyvern’s inside. As soon as the Wyvern is useless, a defend will disappear over a Vex node, which you’ll work together with.
Repeat this course of till you’ve killed three Gatekeeper Wyverns and interacted with all three nodes within the area to finish the problem.
Topped by Dragons

On the finish of the mission, you’ll want to mix these two buffs collectively. While you enter the subsequent area, head to the left to get Sire’s Obligation and to the best to get Dam’s Present. After you have them each, the buff will rework right into a single buff: Topped by Dragons.
When you have Topped by Dragons, you’ll be capable to see symbols, injury Stubborn enemies, and traverse the orange mist. Operating by way of both buff will renew Topped by Dragons again to 45 seconds.
With Topped by Dragons in hand, look to the large door within the middle of the room to get your lock mixture. Then, run across the room and kill the Stubborn enemies within the appropriate order. There’s one Stubborn enemy in the primary room, and one in every of the sector’s two wings. As a way to get to the wings, you’ll must traverse orange mist, so be sure you by no means lose Topped by Dragons.

When you open the door, proceed all the way down to the ultimate boss, which is a large Vex Hydra: Akardon, Pitiless Thoughts. You’ll be able to injury the boss from the beginning of the combat so long as you will have Topped by Dragons. Nonetheless, you should have a a lot simpler time killing the boss for those who take away its rotating defend, which tends to dam lots of incoming injury for those who don’t time your photographs properly.
To do that, use Topped by Dragons to kill each of the Pitiless Attendant Phalanx enemies within the room with the Hydra. As soon as they’re each useless, the boss will lose its defend and begin spawning Taken enemies. Kill it shortly after which proceed into the treasure room to complete the mission.

The primary a part of this space is pretty open, however you’ll ultimately want to show proper and stroll throughout a large tree department, which can lead you to a slim opening and the remainder of the mission.
When you flip and hit that large tree department, cease. As an alternative of continuous alongside, look down and round you. You’ll discover an edge that leads right into a small alcove.
