After locating a ghost, you will need to open Overthrow chests in specified locations. While not overly challenging, this task can be time-consuming. The final step of each Alone in the Dark quest will lead you to a brief activity in zones across the Pale Heart.

The “Cyst” segment of each quest is hidden behind a locked door with Hive Runes. To open it, simply shoot the runes on the nearby walls in the sequence they appear on the door, from top to bottom.

Once you have completed the mission and returned to Micah-10, you will be able to replay the final part as a Cyst mission, which will be marked on the map.

You have the flexibility to complete the Alone in the Dark quests at your own pace. With several weapons up for grabs, these quests are definitely worth your time and effort.

You can locate the Going Fast Triumph in the Exploration section of the Pale Heart Triumphs page. To earn this challenging Triumph, you must complete the following Cysts within four minutes:

  • Sword Dance Trial
  • Moth-Infested Cavern Trial
  • Slayer Trial
  • Searing Light Trial
  • Aerial Ace Trial
  • Smothering Darkness Trial

Some trials may be more difficult than others, so it is recommended to tackle them with a complete Fireteam to increase your chances of success. While a few trials may be completed in your first attempt, others may require multiple tries. Utilize a stopwatch on your phone to track your progress, as the in-game timer is not displayed.

Be prepared for some extremely challenging trials. If you find certain trials particularly tough, consider utilizing a build that provides access to Amplified, Radiant, or a Void Overshield. Memorizing the route is crucial, regardless of your strategy.

If you are struggling with the Cyst missions, take a break and attempt the Exotic Class items questline for a unique experience with a friend.
