Deploy Charges on The Bridge Supports

Decapitation Objective - Head for The Support Access Room

Make your way to where the bridge supports are. You can either rush the objective or clear out enemies along the way.

Reaching the access room clears you of the Imperial City objective area.

Deploy Charges

Decapitation Objective - Deploy Charges
Upon reaching the area, you will have to place a set number of charges, fighting against waves of enemies until you have the required number of charges placed.

Once all charges are placed and you gain access to the elevator, you are cleared of the Tower objective area.

Hold Until The Hive Tyrant Arrives

Decapitation Objective - Hold Until The Hive Tyrant Arrives
After setting the charges, ride the elevator up to the Bridge overview point. Here, you will have to survive a massive enemy wave until the Hive Tyrant appears. Detonate the charges when prompted.

Once you head down the elevator after detonation, you are cleared of the Station objective area.

Slay The Hive Tyrant

Hunt The Injured Tyrant

Decapitation Objective - Hunt The Injured Tyrant
The Hive Tyrant survived the trap. This segment has you following the Hive Tyrant through a short series of tunnel areas where you will encounter either several Majoris enemies, and an occassional Extremis enemy or two. Be prepared to maneuver in cramped spaces.

Once you ride an elevator after seeing the Hive Tyrant limp, you are cleared of the Station Ducts objective area.

Decapitation Objective - Hunt The Injured Tyrant
Fight your way through enemies after riding the elevator. Once you see the Hive Tyrant climb a wall, get rid of any enemies and you will be cleared of the Hive Tyrant Area objective.
