This page will show you how to find and kill Mercher Orbiks-11 at the Ishtar Cliffs on Venus. This Bounty is part of the Destiny: House of Wolves expansion pack.
Begin by traveling to The Reef and speaking with Petra Venj. She is to the left when you spawn in, just up a small set of circular steps. If she has the Bounty listed, snag it and you’re on your way. If she does not, check your Inventory to make sure you haven’t already got it, otherwise you will have to wait until her stock resets. This happens every Tuesday at 5:00 AM EST, the same time that the Weekly Heroic and Weekly Nightfall reset. Even if she doesn’t have the Bounty, however, you can still find and kill this Servitor and claim a reward using the Ether Key to open a nearby chest.
Wanted: Mercher Orbiks-11
Make your way to Orbit and then head for Venus. You want to choose the Patrol option, and this will deliver you to the Headlands. Summon your Sparrow, and then choose the right path. This should be very easy to find since you only have right or left to choose from.
After only a few seconds of following the path, it will deliver you to the Shattered Coast, and you’ll want to keep riding through in the only direction you can. This will take you past some Fallen and a few broken down cars, and then along the cliffs until you can either go into a building with a Servitor, or continue to follow the only route possible as it curves to the left. There is still only one path between that left turn and the Ishtar Cliffs, so keep an eye on your HUD for a message in the bottom left that lets you know you have arrived at your destination.
Once you’re there, look for a high cliff that you can sit up on top of that gives you a good view of the area. You might have to wait for this to kick off, but there should be plenty of random foes to kill, Spirit Bloom to hoard, and Public Events to complete. When the event does begin, a message will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen that says A Pack of Wolves is Prowling. That’s how you know it’s time to fight.
There are rumors that this cannot be done solo, which is incorrect. If you are a level 33 Guardian with a few good weapons, you can pull this off even if there are no other players in the area to assist you. It won’t be as easy, but you can absolutely do it. Because that is the most difficult road, however, we’ll talk about how you can solo this. You likely don’t need our help if there is a group of you.
Start off by killing the first wave with an Ice Breaker if you have it. If you don’t, go for something else that is very powerful, such as Legendary or Exotic Hand Cannon, Scout Rifle, or even your Rocket Launcher. It will be in this wave that you kill the two Scorch Captains, and these guys will drop the Scorch Cannons. As soon as the wave is complete, pick one of these weapons up. Each one will give you 10 shots, which is more than enough to blast your way through the next two or three waves.
Your best bet is likely to grab the Scorch Cannon and head to the high ground. Use both of them until you have nothing left to fire, which should hopefully take you part way through the final wave. This is the wave that Mercher Orbiks-11 will show up, a Servitor that is your toughest foe in this fight. Begin by dumping all of your Heavy Ammunition into your opponent, and then your Grenade, Super Ability, and finally your Secondary and Primary Weapons. We are very fond of the Ice Breaker and Hand Cannons, as they tend to do major damage and end this fight quickly.
When your opponent does fall, there is still more work to be done. You should see a message on your screen regarding an Ether Key, plus a 90 second timer. You have that long to find a chest and claim your reward. The chest can spawn in several locations, but all of them are in this immediate area. Look for a thin beam of light that shoots out of the top of it, running over and taking your prize.
With your enemy dead and your prize (one of them) claimed, head back to The Reef and speak to Petra Venj to get a reward for turning in the Bounty. If you have other Bounties to do, skip The Reef and get right to work. You can visit our Destiny: House of Wolves Walkthrough and Guide for help with whatever it is you’re planning to tackle next.
