Empire Hunts are a new activity introduced inDestiny 2: Beyond Light.
These missions behave similarly to strikes, complete with modifiers and a final boss.
The Dark Priestess is one of three Empire Hunts that can be completed on Master difficulty.
Beating this mission on Master can be a serious challenge, especially for solo Guardians.
Fighting an army of Brigs and Champions is anything but easy.
As with all pinnacle PvE activities,utilize the current Seasonal Artifactto counter certain Champion properties.
Xenophage is a no-brainer here, capable of shutting down targets from a distance while spawning Warmind Cells.
Spawning Warmind Cells will require the use of the Wrath of Rasputin mod.

To progress, travel to the gravity lift on the northern part of the map.
Guarding the lift will be a series of Shanks, Marauders, and an Overload Captain.
If any public events are active, they will also be a threat.
It would be wise to ignore these enemies and push through the lift.
Once you are up the gravity lift, you will be pushed by a gang of Marauders.
Use a grenade or explosive weapon to take them down.
Push through the icy tunnel to reach the Riis-Reborn Approach.
Use this distraction to reposition or throw a well-placed grenade.
Near the back will be an Overload Captain and a Servitor.
A Warmind Cell will clear out most of the enemies in the arena.
Once the Vex Champion is slain, focus on destroying the Servitor.
If you wait to kill the Servitor, it can make the Champion immune in an inopportune moment.
Be sure you and your fireteam have Heavy ammo before proceeding to the floor above.
Destroying the Fallen Brig is tricky since two Barrier Servitors protect it.
Fortunately, both Servitors tend to clump together.
Kill the first Servitor, weaken the second one, break its shield, then land the killing blow.
Now that the Servitors are dead, redirect your attention to the Fallen Brig.
Stay back towards the stairs while damaging it, preferably using Xenophageor a Scout Rifle.
As long as you stay far back, the Brig can’t hurt you with its cannon.
Destroy it to reach the next room.
This should be trivial after the Brig fight.
Kill them to fire up the left door entry, leading to the room with the Darkness Shard.
Instead of charging head-first into the room, stay back near the entrance.
Now would be the perfect time to spawn and detonate a Warmind Cell.
This is easily the most frustrating part of the Empire Hunt.
You will need to destroy both Barrier Servitors to prevent the Captain from going immune.
This can be tricky since the enemies will have a go at body block your shots.
Be patient, don’t push up, and this encounter should play itself out.
attempt to damage the Fallen Brig in the center of the room.
Stick the Brig with a few rounds or a grenade, then double back up the staircase and wait.
While boring,pushing the Brig outright is suicide.
With the Brig destroyed, focus on the two Overload Captains at the back of the room.
Besides a few supporting Shanks and the Brig, they are the only other threat in the room.
Kill them to open up the next room.
This small room will spawn a handful of Wretches and a Captain major.
Lure them into the room you just fought the Brig in.
Eliminating the Captain and Wretches will bring up the path to the boss.
Backtrack to the doorway so the Fallen don’t swarm you.
Kridis will be residing near Eramis' frozen body.
Removing a quarter of Kridis' health will cause three Servitors to spawn along with a few fodder enemies.
To make Kridis vulnerable,all three Servitors must be destroyed.
One spawns on each plate of the arena.
Use a Void weapon to break their shields.
Repeat this process three more times to kill Kridis.
Remove all four chunks of Kridis' health to complete the Empire Hunt.
