The Gap · Main story #13Kill the Hedron
The End is the campaign ending, not another boss fight. Escape The Gap, use Reach to cross the fractured platform route, clear two large arenas where the Hiss fight alongside you, then move toward the Hedron to finish the mission. The three-phase Hedron fight was Fight to the Core.
Five stages, two major combat arenas. The Journal only shows one objective — Kill the Hedron.
The Hedron's physical form is gone, but the threat isn't finished. The End begins immediately afterward, back inside The Gap.
You start back inside The Gap with a single objective. Open the cell and move out.
If you can't leave the cell, move right up to the wall and use the interact prompt. The route opens forward, not back.
Use Reach to pull yourself across the fractured platforms toward the Hedron.
If you don't know which point to grab, look for the next glowing anchor straight ahead — not the platform you're standing on.
Each crossing is the same three beats. Find the next one, then commit.
Aim at the next Reach point, not at the platform under your feet. If you fall, the last checkpoint is usually the platform you launched from.
Reach is always available by this point in the main story, so there is no ability gate to check here.
A large Hedron force meets you on the arena platform — with Hiss fighting on your side.
If the fight won't end, a Hedron enemy is still alive, usually on an elevated platform or at the far edge.
First arena
The first large platform after the opening Reach route.
Your Fight to the Core combat setup is enough here. Keep using the non-Raw options that worked against the Hedron forces, and open the Hedron boss page or builds only if you want more detail.
Don't attack everything you see. In this sequence the Hiss fight the Hedron forces alongside you, so they are not your targets.
Your targets: Hedron enemies.

Hiss

Do not prioritise
| Hiss → Dylan / the player | Allied |
|---|---|
| Hiss → The Hedron | Hostile |
If the Hiss ignore you, that is the expected story state during The End — not an AI bug or a faction glitch.
A second large arena repeats the mixed-faction fight, then opens the route again.
If the second arena won't clear, check the far edges and any ranged enemy before assuming it is a bug.
Second arena
The second large platform, after another Reach crossing.
Your Fight to the Core combat setup is enough here. Keep using the non-Raw options that worked against the Hedron forces, and open the Hedron boss page or builds only if you want more detail.
Reach toward the Hedron one last time. There is no third boss phase waiting.
If nothing happens at the Hedron, you are at the final approach, not a missing boss fight.
There isn't another full Hedron boss phase
After the two large encounters, keep moving toward the Hedron. The final approach completes the mission.
Don't look for another health bar. The three-phase Hedron fight already happened in Fight to the Core.
Casual Outfit is the quest reward. It is a catalog family in the outfits database rather than a standalone page for now.
Main story complete does not mean all narrative content is complete.
The End completes the main story. The only remaining story quest is the epilogue, The Beginning.
The Beginning is a full quest with its own walkthrough, so the epilogue details stay on its page.
What's happening?
You are back in The Gap right after Fight to the Core. Walk to the cell wall, interact to open the route, then move forward and start using Reach.
Move right up to the cell wall and use the interact prompt. The route opens forward, not back the way you came.
Look straight ahead for the next glowing anchor. Aim at the next Reach point, not at the platform under your feet.
This is the normal story state during The End. In this sequence the Hiss fight the Hedron forces alongside you.
No. Prioritise the Hedron enemies. The Hiss are fighting with you here, so attacking them only wastes time.
A hostile Hedron enemy is still alive. Check elevated platforms and the far edges of the arena before clearing it again.
Once the arena clears, the route forward opens. Use Reach and keep moving toward the Hedron.
Most often a ranged or far-edge enemy is still alive. Look around the whole arena before assuming the quest is broken.
You're at the final approach. The three-phase Hedron fight was Fight to the Core; The End finishes by reaching the Hedron after the mixed-faction battles.
The End completes the main story, but the epilogue still remains. The Beginning is the next and only remaining story quest.
The Beginning is the epilogue quest that starts after The End. It opens in Dylan's apartment and is a full quest with its own page.
Tell the assistant what you can see — the cell, a Reach crossing, a mixed-faction fight or the approach. It knows the sequence state and the Hiss override.
Ask about this questThis page owns the final-sequence navigator, the Reach route, the Hiss friend-or-foe state, the two mixed-faction encounters and the main-story-to-epilogue transition. The Hedron boss fight stays on the boss page and Fight to the Core; the epilogue stays on The Beginning.
