Marvel’s Midnight Suns Ghost Rider Dark Heart Challenge Mission Guide

Marvel’s Midnight Suns – Ghost Rider Dark Heart Challenge Mission Walkthrough Guide and Hints. You can take a look at our guide for the challenge missions of all other characters except Ghost Rider; Challenge Mission Walkthroughs and Hints.

Ghost Rider Dark Heart Challenge Mission Guide

Ghost Rider’s Challenge incorporates his self-damaging cards to do additional damage to enemies. His Soul draining mechanic isn’t used, though.

• Hint 1: You’ll need all your cards, so avoid using Retribution earlier than necessary.
• Hint 2: Judgment is an area-of-effect attack. How can you maneuver enemies around to take advantage of that?

Ghost Rider – Dark Heart

Primary Objective: Defeat the Whispers of Memory to acquire the Penance Stare ability card.
Rules:

• There are infinite Card Plays.
• Redraw and Move are disabled.
• The Challenge is failed if there are no more cards to play or the turn ends.

Walkthrough:

1. Use a Lash on the left-most Whisper of Memory and knock it into the center Whisper. We’re assembling a close group for Judgment.
   
2. Use the other Lash on the farthest Whisper of Memory and knock it into the center Whisper. It’s fine that this defeats the latter. Amusingly, you could also knock it into Ghost Rider himself, which keeps the center Whisper alive, but it doesn’t affect the outcome.
   
3. Use Judgment on any of the clumped Whispers of Memory to take all of them out.
4. Use Retribution on the final, right-most Whisper of Memory, knocking it into the fallen pillars to defeat it. We saved this for last to make the random discard moot. This acquires Penance Stare and Drain Soul, but we’ll only need the former.
5. Use Penance Stare on the Incarnation of Memory to complete the Challenge. This is another great screenshot/photo opportunity!

What are Challenges?

Challenges are essentially solo character puzzles. Each character’s Challenge gives you a set hand, Offense stat, and even draw order to complete the mission, so don’t worry about character level or deck composition. The rules are generally the same (no Card Play limit, no Redraws or Moves, etc.), but they’ll all be listed in the sections below.

The first objective in most Challenges is usually to defeat certain enemies or destroy certain objects to add the character’s Legendary ability card to your hand, with the second objective simply an excuse to show the card off. Given the general nature of the first objective, the step-by-step walkthroughs aren’t the only solutions, but do solve the Challenge.

Completing a character’s Challenge gives you 2 rewards:

• The character’s Midnight Sun (Legendary) Suit
• The character’s Heroic (Legendary) card

Completed Challenges can be repeated for fun, but no longer award anything upon completion. Challenges only provide you with one copy of a character’s Heroic Legendary card. To obtain upgraded/modded versions of the cards, you must now either craft additional copies at the Forge or get lucky and find one in a Gamma Coil.

Since you get Hunter’s Challenge first, theirs is at the top of each section of this guide, with the remaining characters in alphabetical order.

Unlocking Challenges

To unlock Challenge Missions, the Armory upgrade must be built in the Forge, which becomes available after completing the research project, “Forged in Hellfire.” The requirements to research it are:

• The Forge must be at least Level 4.
• Complete 4 missions with Ghost Rider (both Story and General missions count).

The Armory costs 175 Credits to build, which adds the “Challenges” option to the Forge menu. The Hunter’s Challenge is immediately available. Other than Hulk’s, every other character’s Challenge is unlocked once you’ve earned Level 5 Friendship with them.
