(Heroic) Getting Your Hands Dirty

Overview

(Heroic) Getting Your Hands Dirty is the Heroic version of the Adventure Getting Your Hands Dirty on European Dead Zone. Asher Mir has the Guardian direct the Taken invasion against the Red Legion in the Sludge.

Heroic Adventures were a Year 1 feature: each week the destination of the active Flashpoint had its Adventures flagged as Heroic, in the rotation European Dead Zone, Nessus, Tangled Shore, Io, Mercury, Titan, Mars (per player reports). They are launched from the destination map, or from the NPC who offers the Adventure (Asher Mir). The game lists them at a nominal 750 Power; the standard Adventure recommendation is +160 Power, and the game data does not state a separate Heroic difficulty. Players describe them as only modestly harder than the normal version. Heroic completions count towards the Wayfarer seal triumphs. Sources disagree or are sparse on Heroic-specific rewards; none are documented beyond the normal Adventure's.

Encounters and mechanics

1. Proceed into the Taken-held part of the Sludge and study the Taken.
2. Use exposure to Taken radiation as cover to reach the research facility.
3. Destroy the Blights to contain the invasion. No named boss is listed; enemies are Taken and Red Legion Cabal.

Rewards

Completion counts towards the Wayfarer seal; the base Adventure Getting Your Hands Dirty has the same story and steps. No Heroic-specific loot is documented in sources.
