How to unlock the Forging Ahead achievement in Destiny - Definitive Guide
Here is a video showing you exactly how to get to the new public events in the archon's forge and how you start them! (must have SIVA offering to start!)
The Archon's Forge is found in the Plaguelands and is similar to the Court of Oryx from the Taken King expansion. You will only be able to enter after completing the Rise of Iron questline, which will trigger Devil Splicer enemies in the Plaguelands to begin dropping SIVA Offerings. These items will be used to start an encounter, similar to the runes that were used to trigger Court encounters.
Any offering type will work for the achievement.
The Archon's Forge is the new public arena in the Plaguelands patrol. You pass through it during "The Iron Tomb."
To start an encounter, you need to find a SIVA offering in the Plaguelands. The offerings will drop from Quarantine patrols and in the Archon's Forge. The Archon's Keep and Giant's Husk are the two locations in the Plaguelands where those patrols are.
If you have found one, then you should use it because you can only hold one at a time. There are three different levels: Fused (green, LL 320), Enhanced (blue, LL 340), and Perfected (purple, LL 360). Like with the Court of Oryx, other people may take part and help out if you use an offering. Also like the Court of Oryx, you do not need to be the one to use the offering.
Archon's Forge encounters are 5 minutes and begin with waves of Splicers to build up a percentage. When you reach 100%, depending on what types of enemies the offering spawns in, either a major (yellow bar) Captain, Vandal, Dreg, Shank, or Servitor will spawn in (the offering will tell you which enemy type you will face) along with more enemies. Sometimes, the Iron Axe will spawn in as well along with the boss.
After killing the boss, the trophy will unlock, along with some Archon's Forge loot, and possibly a new SIVA offering.
