Additionally, the Hive is trying to enhance that haunted-ness by performing a strange new ritual in Sorrows Harbor.
Youll have to go through a tiered progression of increasingly more difficult enemies with a timer counting down.
If the timer counts to zero, you fail and have to start the previous tier over again.

Continue to Tier VI and defeat a final boss and youll get a sweet reward.
The biggest difference between Escalation Protocol and Altars of Sorrows is the timer.
In Escalation Protocol, the counter starts from a few minutes and then goes to zero for each stage.

However, it can also go down faster if you let a Nightmare reach its objective.
Lets go over how this whole thing works.
Read on to see how you might grab ‘em.

Stop The Nightmares
After reaching Sorrows Harbor, head to one of those glowing green rifts.
This will start the Altars of Sorrows event.
Youll then notice that another nearby rift has started spewing out Hive along with a larger Nightmare enemy.
That Nightmare will give a shot to make it from their rift to the one youre defending.
If the Nightmare reaches your rift, then it will take 30 seconds off your timer.
If the timer runs out, you lose and have to start over from the most recently accomplished tier.
Tier I starts with just four Nightmares that you have to defeat.
Just like before, a timer counts down from one minute.
Killing regular mobs will increase that timer by one second and killing Nightmares increases that timer by 10 seconds.
Quickly eliminate those Nightmares, then go back to killing the boss.
A good option for killing mobs en masse is Riskrunner.
Another great option is Trinity Ghoul, especially if you have its Catalyst.
There’s nothing that tears through mobs like Trinity Ghoul.
Phogoth drops the Blasphemer, Taniks drops the Apostate, and Zydron drops the Heretic.
Theres also the Bane of Crota Ghost Shell as a possible drop.
But should you grind out these weapons?
Absolutely, especially if you like the Hive weapon aesthetic.
Blasphemer gets both Rampage and Swashbuckler for increased damage as well as Quickdraw and Opening Shot for Crucible players.
