How do you complete the birth of Darkness Step 3?

While Stasis knowledge has been learned, it is not sufficient enough to provide the Exo Stranger with the information she needs.

To change what she failed to do in the past, she will need your help to decrypt yet another portion of the journal.

It is in the Exo Stranger’s hopes that Ana Bray will be convinced of what good may come out to prevent a mistake from happening again.

Step 1: Defeat Vex and Fallen on Europa and Use Stasis Abilities

To unlock another portion of the journal, you will once again need to begin empowering the Skeleton Key. To do this it is believed that power exists within a being in some form. This leads to the need to try defeating Vex and Fallen to be sure.

You will need to head over to Europa and find Vex and Fallen to defeat as well as affect enemies using Stasis abilities.

  • Defeat 30 Vex enemies
  • Defeat 30 Fallen enemies
  • Affect 20 targets with Stasis

Step 2: Complete Gambit Activities With Stasis Subclass and Use Stasis Abilities

Now that you have begun to empower the Skeleton Key, another way to do so will be during Gambit matches. The enemies found in Gambit matches are known to be brimming with Darkness energy and the Exo Stranger pins this as your next goal.

Step 3: Defeat Teraks’s Platoon Near the Crux of Darkness in Eternity

With the Skeleton Key almost ready, it is believed that to boost it once again, you will need to defeat the Salvation Elite Captain, Teraks. Only by doing this will the Skeleton Key have enough power to unlock the next portion of the journal.

You will need to head over to the Crux of Darkness in Eternity and locate Teraks and his platoon to clear them out.

Step 4: Bring The Skeleton Key To The Exo Stranger in the Concealed Void

The Skeleton Key is now fully empowered and now it is time for you to help the Exo Stranger unlock the next portion of the journal. She will be waiting for you in the Concealed Void, and along with her will be her sister Ana Bray.

Head over to the Concealed Void Lost Sector in Asterion Abyss and speak with the Exo Stranger.

Step 5: Regroup with the Exo Stranger in Beyond
