Freelancer Down | Anthem story missions walkthrough Anthem Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 05 March 2019

Freelancer Down is one of the Story Missions in Anthem. You can do it after crafting the Dawn Shield. During this quest, you will fight with Dominion forces, e.g. powerful Furies.

This mission appears in your journal after you craft the Dawn Shield which happens in Crafting the Dawn Shield mission - its walkthrough is available on one of the pages. Find Haluk in Fort Tarsis. The man isn't in this location. Meet with Lucky Jak and Commander Vule. You can now start a new expedition.

Head to the Fortress of Dawn - you have been there before. That place is guarded by Dominion forces. As always, watch out for stronger enemies, e.g. Dominion Frost Brutes (their attacks can freeze your Javelin) and Dominion Storm Valkyries (remember to destroy their shields). Enter the Fortress of Dawn and watch the cut-scene.

The respawns are blocked - time for another challenging battle. This is your first encounter with a Dominion Fury. Focus on destroying her shield. After that, use your most powerful weapons and abilities - Fury's yellow bar has even more points.

Leave weaker Dominion units for later. Move around the room to, e.g. regenerate your health. Once all enemies are defeated, leave the Fortress of Dawn.

Outside, you have to defeat more Dominion soldiers. Also, the option to fly is blocked temporarily. Approach Haluk to start the battle (warning - respawns are blocked here).

Start attacking the Dominion forces. Among the usual enemies, you will encounter Flak Turrets. Try to destroy them as fast as possible - they can attack you suddenly while you are fighting other enemies. Even though you can't fly near the Fortress, make use of high jumps to, e.g. get on rooftops to find a better spot to shoot at enemies from a distance.

After winning the first battle, move towards the lower yard of the Fortress of Dawn. Eliminate a few enemies and then stand inside the circle. Defend yourself until the bar is full. Eliminate the remaining enemies. You can now fly.

Cross the bridge. Your objective is to defend the Strider. Start fighting with enemies. Try to destroy the turrets first, they can shoot rockets at you.

You also have to defeat another Dominion Fury. Remember to destroy her shield. Your Ultimate skill can be useful here. Win this battle, and you will complete the mission.
