The Founts

Overview

The Founts is an area of the Dreadnaught in Episode: Heresy. It was originally an early section of the revived The Sunless Cell strike, and designer J. Valencia said it was reused because it had good combat space and the nooks The Nether needed, so it was expanded for Heresy's arena activity.

The Nether

The Founts is one of five main areas of The Nether, which picks areas in a roguelike order each run. The objective is to release Taken energy: carry Hive relics to statues, destroy Pyramid spikes and Hive eggs, and capture a zone. After three Taken energy sources are released, Hashon of Endless Horrors appears; destroy small Taken Blights to drop its shield.

Secrets

The area holds seven chess pieces (one collectible hunt in The Nether) and a sealed gate as its central landmark.
