How to finish the Corridors of Time and earn the new Bastion kinetic fusion rifle

After five exhausting days, the Corridors of Time puzzle has been completed with the solution giving access to the Exotic quest for Bastion, a Kinetic Fusion Rifle.

Before attempting this solution, it’s a good idea to have already completed “An Impossible Task Part One” and “An Impossible Task Part Two” to save Saint-14 on the current character as the Bastion quest can bug out once the “Talk to Saint-14” step is reached.

If you are attempting this quest before the weekly reset on 01/21 then the quest can be obtained by visiting Osiris, grabbing the quest “Exploring the Corridors of Time”, and then interacting with the Sundial controls to be transported to the Corridors. If attempting this quest after the weekly reset then the quest can simply be directly obtained from Saint-14.

If this is your first time exploring the Corridors then it's worthwhile reading our article on the previous step of the puzzle which rewards the player with 19 lore pieces and an emblem. This article also explains the different symbols and their community given names to make it easier to read the solution.

Once in the Corridors of Time, there is a 30 symbol long code that needs to be input by running through the different doorways in a specific order. The code is as follows:

Clover, Diamond, Snake, Clover, Plus, Plus, Hex, Hex, Hex, Plus, Diamond, Plus, Snake, Diamond, Clover, Snake, Plus, Plus, Snake, Snake, Hex, Diamond, Clover, Plus, Diamond, Hex, Hex, Diamond, Plus, Diamond

Once this is input correctly the player will enter a unique room with a tomb in the center. Some dialogue will play, spoken by Saint-14 himself. After this is finished the player will be rewarded with a “Chromatic Weapon Core” and given the instructions to speak to Saint-14 at The Tower

Return to the Tower and head over to the Legendary Titan himself in the Hangar to start the quest chain.

Step 1 - A False Refraction

This step requires 5 Fallen Captain or Servitor kills on The Tangled Shore to acquire Fallen Intel. Several of these enemies spawn in the Thieves Landing area of The Tangled Shore with another Servitor and Captain being located in The Empty Tank Lost Sector. Once this is completed, return to Spider for the next step.

Step 2 - Memento

Your objective now is to hunt down the Fallen Captain Aksiniks in a certain Lost Sector, The Empty Tank. This Lost Sector is located in Thieves Landing, near the Spider’s hideout. Simply progress through the Lost Sector as normal until you reach the boss room. Here you will face Aksiniks, who goes down without too much of a fight.

Step 3 - A  Strong Arm

This step here is a bit of grind and can possibly take 1 or 2 hours depending on your speed. The step requires the player to complete 10 Spider bounties, complete 8 Public Events on the Tangled Shore and to defeat 30 Challenging enemies (orange bar) on The Tangled Shore. 

If you have 15 or so Ghost Fragments saved up then this section will go a lot quicker. If you don't, equip a Treasure Hunter Ghost Shell if you have it, jump on your sparrow and ride around the Tangled Shore making sure to loot any chest you find. If you do this while completing any Public Events that show up you will not only earn a decent amount of Ghost Fragments to buy Spider bounties with, but you will also progress the Public Event completion portion of the quest. Note that completing a Heroic Public Event will count as 2 towards the 8 instead of 1 for a regular Public Event.

Now that you have some Ghost Fragments, head over to the Spider and buy his 4 generic Tangled Shore bounties along with 6 of his Wanted bounties. Its best to buy the cheaper bounties that only require you to kill a Lost Sector boss as these can be done very quickly. The generic bounties can be completed quickly too as they are usually simple objectives like “Loot 5 chests on the Tangled Shore” or “Get 25 Precision kills”. 

The 30 Challenging enemies will passively complete alongside the completion of the other two objectives so nothing to really worry about there.

Step 4 - Rude Awakening

The player will need to travel to the Trapper’s Cave Lost Sector in Four-Horn Gulch to investigate a grave. Progress through the Lost Sector, past the first enemy War Beasts until you reach a small waterfall that drains into a shallow pond. If you look closely you will see Scorn ether gathered around a certain area of the pond near the rock face. Walk over to this area to investigate the grave.

Step 5 - Altered Chief

For this part of the quest the player must kill a certain Scorn Chieftain known as ‘Defiled Reysk, The Waning Light’ within a special version of The Hallowed Lair Strike. The node for the strike can be found on The Tangled Shore map and thankfully it has matchmaking to make completing it a lot easier. The Strike has basically no differences except for the fact that during the final boss battle against The Fanatic, Reysk will spawn on the upper right platform. Kill him to obtain the final step of the quest which is to return to Saint-14 to receive your new Exotic weapon, the Kinetic Fusion Rifle called Bastion.
