How To Cross The Threshold In Transmigration

This will be a repeated mechanic during Transmigration, as there areplenty of shields to bypass in The Final Shape.
Cross the platforms that appeared after activating the well. Continue forward until your path isblocked by a Darkness barrier.
Shoot the floating Darkness switchesaround the barrier to deactivate it.
Continue past the barrier and up the brokenfloating pathway to the right.
Along the path,Tangling Weavers,a new enemy in The Final Shape, will spawn.
Be careful toavoid the Weaver Strand attacksthat can pull you off the edge of a platform.

Once you defeat this first spawn, a second group of Bound enemies with Prismatic shields will appear –ignore them and run past, following the marker.
Follow the path to the right and goupwards, then fight off another spawn of Takenat the top of the path.
Here, you’ll reach yet another set of platforms with a Darkness Well that can reveal the path forward.
Repeat the same processof hunting down the Will-Crushed Centurion, deactivating the shield around the Darkness Well, and revealing the real path by shooting the Darkness Well with an Icon of Light acquired.
There are two switches off the edge here,once closer to the first Centurion opposite the Darkness Well, and a second switch closer to the Darkness Well.

From the chest,peek around the corner to the right, and you’ll seea series of platforms leading to your destination.

What To Do After You Cross The Threshold
Once the cutscenes wrap up, you’ll be beckoned to “Come and See”.
Follow the path forward as new platforms illuminate before your eyes and pass through a cave to drop intoThe Lost City, Outskirts.
Explore the area, and you’ll come across aspectral bird – follow its flight pathas it fades from existence.
Head up the cliff side into a door that resembles architecture from The City, and you’ll reach a clearing with a new enemy.
The Resonating Grimsare another new flying enemy introduced in Destiny 2: The Final Shape.
Keep your distance; the Grims can scream and inflict you with the Tinnitus debuff.
Fight past the Grims until youreach a barrierthat blocks your path.

Follow the path along the roofsas the spectral bird guides your way.
Once you arrive in the main open area, there will bea large spawn of Tangling Weavers;defeat them, then follow the bird’s path toa marker on the right side(from the entrance).
Defeat the enemies that spawn here, then use thePrismatic Wellspring to Transcendanddefeat the Light Harvester Wizardin this area, claiming itsIcon of Darkness.
Backtrack and fight your way back to the barrier door in the center room, thenbank the Icon of Darkness to remove one of the locks on the door.
This will trigger another large group of spawns and require you torepeat the process,this time on theleft side of the room.

Once you step forward far enough, a group of Taken enemies will spawn, followed by a second batch of Bound enemies youmust Transcend to defeat.
Once those groups are defeated, thereal fight will begin.
Defeat Vrihn, Subjugator of Gardens
Vrihn is a powerful Subjugator bosswho has plenty of health, mobility, and enough damage and abilities to decimate your shields in a second.
The most important thing here is tokeep your distance from Vrihn,ideally using the cover around the tower to keep something between you and this Subjugator at all times.
Vrihn can suspend you using Strand, then attack you freely with a split staff attack that can simultaneously hit you with multiple projectiles.
Clear out each enemy spawn before focusing on Vrihn,as the arena is difficult to navigate while enemies attack from all sides.
A new spawn of enemies will appear for every 33 percent of Vrihn’s HP gone,so prepare to clear them out after you finish damaging the boss.
Use the stairs on the right side of the map to gain a height advantage over Vrihn, while keeping the architecture between you and his Strand attacks.
Counter with Strandattacks of your own and Vrihn will be defeated.
Collect your chest after Vrihn goes down and sit back for another round of cutscenes.
