Destroy door

When you reach inside the Hideout, several more guards will be waiting than there were outside. You will need to fight through these Guards and eliminate them until the Door Guard shows up, alongside multiple bodyguards. You should be able to make short work of this enemy. It will drop an explosive you can pick up and use on the door. You will need to defeat two of these enemies to advance.

Take down the Brute

As you proceed into the next room, Val’aug will be waiting for you. Many of her crew will be protecting her, but you must proceed forward to take her down. When you reach a checkmark in her health, she will gain a shield and backup, creating a narrow, protective hallway around her.

After defeating her, you may have to clear out any remaining crew members around you.

Claim the relic

The final step you will need to do is claim the relic. It will be sitting in the loot pile at the end of the Hideout. You will have completed the mission after you obtain it.
