Destiny 2 Forsaken Ether Harvest Public Event: How to Trigger Heroic Version

The latest expansion to Destiny 2 has introduced some new activities to participate in, though one of the new Public Events, the Ether Harvest, isn’t exactly easy when it comes to triggering the Heroic Version. The event itself can be hectic enough just trying to complete normally, without trying to figure out the steps you need to take to reach its full potential.

How to Activate the Ether Harvest Heroic Public Event

The Ether Harvest Public Event is found in the Four-Horn Gulch area of the Tangled Shore, and normally requires players to defend a point from waves of Scorn enemies. To reach the full reward potential of the Public Event however, players will need to turn it Heroic, which is proving to be no easy feat.

To Activate the Ether Harvest Heroic Public Event, Guardians must stop all the Ether Orbs from reaching the center area. These Ether Orbs spawn when a Chieftain is killed, with three Chieftains total making the attack during the Public Event. Working together, players should take down the Chieftain, then quickly eliminate the Ether Orbs as they spawn before they reach the downed Servitor in the middle of the Public Event.

Once all the Ether Orbs from all Chieftains have been destroyed, the Public Event will turn Heroic, allowing players to complete it for more EXP and better rewards.
