Pretty easy for a Special Assignment. Fly to the dome, kill ethereal add outside the dome until it drops the device to unlock the 4 altars around the outside of the dome 90 degrees apart. I picked it up on the first kill. Each altar spawns a mob that you kill. It's optional to kill ethereal to get the device because anyone can start unlocking the altars.

I had a slight brain malfunction trying to find the location, that was blocked by quests on the map. It looked like I unlocked the special assignment, and you could only see the lock icon zoomed out, until I realized I actually did this before.

Location is South middle to left of map. There is a pinkish bubble, reminds me of Eco and Karesh. You click 4 icons to summon Arcane Elemental and kill it to redistribute the power.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Quest chain

  2. 2Special Assignment: Agents of the Shield

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline. A step the build does not name is kept in place, unnamed, so the sequence stays complete.
