This week,
Enter the Lost Sector and head down to the first enemy arena. Upon your arrival, you’ll likely start noticing the Hive elemental runes. These are emblems that are primarily placed on walls, with their outer ring being the same color as the ability you chose.
I recommend taking down all enemies first, which shouldn’t take too long. Once you’re done, we’ll be going through all five Hive elemental runes in Metamorphosis, using the entrance to the enemy arena as a starting point.
The first Hive elemental rune is behind the first wall you stumble upon as you’re going down the corridor. Turn around facing the door you just came in from, and you’ll find it.
The second Hive elemental rune is on the path to the left, following the corridor of sorts that leads to the second door to the next area. It’s facing your direction, so you can’t miss it.
The third Hive elemental rune can be found by following the path towards the door that leads to the next area–it’s against the wall facing the door to the right.
The fourth Hive elemental rune is actually to the left of said door, hidden behind the pillar in the left corner of the room.
The fifth and final Hive elemental rune is in the center of the room. If you were to trace your steps from the first door, take the path to the right instead and face the tall structure in the middle. Alternatively, if you’ve been following the previous directions, it’s close to the second door in an almost direct line.
That’s all. You’ll know when you’ve successfully activated a Hive elemental rune as it’ll light up. Now, you’ll get to use Hive magic by following the quest marker, which is done right in front of the second door. From that moment on, you’re all set to continue with The Bladed Path questline.
If you’re curious, I was rewarded with two Opaque Cards for the Deck of Whispers after completing the objective. Finishing this set of quest steps rewarded me with two Witch’s Engrams, five Feeble Offerings, two Robust Offerings, and one Powerful Offering, although the latter may vary.
