# Crimson Gauntlet

Combat anomaly in HS, LS, NS and WH space

# Summary (click me!)

### Strategy

Room 1: Kill wave on warp in and head for the gate to your left, unless you have a key to take the short-cut (to Room 2) through the other gate.

Room 2: Kill all rats of spawn 1 and 2 while approaching the next gate. The gate activates after spawn 2 has been eliminated. Sometimes a 3rd spawn happens, make sure to be aligned for gate activation before you get tackled by the 3rd spawn.  
There is a rare occurrence where a Avalanche wreck spawn in this room. Approaching it will spawn a bunch of hostile Ventures and a Barghest with extra loot.

Room 3: Deploy MTU, kill all rats of spawn 1 and 2, then the battleship NPC arrives. Kill that one and revealed structure for loot. Killing the structure may spawn an escalation for [Crimson Harvest Sanctuary](https://wiki.erst.live/books/crimson-harvest-sanctuary "Crimson Harvest Sanctuary") (can spawn in HS/LS/NS)  
Sometimes there's a 3rd wave spawning together with the battleship. Focus killing the battleship and then destroy the structure, the rest of the NPCs will warp off after.
