What Is Archon's Forge?
Archon's Forge was recently introduced in the game Destiny: Rise of Iron as a new public event. It is accessible from the Archon's Keep area in the Plaguelands patrol zone and allows players to partake in their own public event. Anyone who has a Spilcer Key and is in the area can join.
Archon's Forge Key Items
Before you can start Archon's Forge, you will need two items - SIVA Offering and Splicer Key. The SIVA Offering lets you start the public event and can be found easily. You gain them as you complete various activities, however you can only hold one SIVA Offering at a time but you can watch this guide as to how you can farm for more:
Splicer Key is used to open the SIVA door and join the Archon's Forge public event. You can only hold 10 at a time.
Archon's Forge Rewards
Archon's Forge is a great way to get engrams. If you complete the public event, you can gain event-exclusive legendary gear as well as rare and legendary engrams.
Requirements
Different SIVA Offerings lead to different difficulty levels of Archon's Forge. Fused, Enhanced, and Perfected. Fused recommend a Light level of 320 and drops uncommon items. Enhanced drops rare items but recommend a Light level of 340 while Perfected drops the legendary items but recommend a Light level of 360.
Strategies And Tips
According to a post by Polygon, a great strategy is to take out weaker enemies first just to thin out the number of aliens attacking you. Reviving your teammates is a key strategy as self-reviving will trap them in a room; and they won't be able to get back into the action without consuming a Splicer Key.
