In the headlong mission, you will engage in intense combat with numerous Vex enemies using the power of the Strand. Along the way, you will encounter intriguing lock puzzles that are directly connected to barriers obstructing your path.
Once you have deciphered the lock code, your next task is to eliminate a combination of Cation Harpies and regular Anion Harpies that match the pattern in the lock code.
