re: Official Destiny Thread (PS4) Join us in the Vault

We actually had everyone in the group at 310 or higher and tried doing the strat where we kill the knights and didn't even make it to the first DPS stage to stagger Oryx once. Switched to no-knight and got it in two tries.

It's amazing how some groups suck dick at one strat, but can pick the other one up really quickly.

Well, to be perfectly honest the guys on the platforms in the no Knight strategy really don't do anything besides kill an ogre with a tiny bit of health, and then stay alive running to and back from the blights. That's why it's easier to get a new group coordinated and do it quickly.
The normal way, everyone has to kill an ogre and the knight that spawns. If you have anyone that's not over 310 or even so and have an underpowered load out, it's tough to stay alive when ogres are trying to wreck you on the platforms.

Basically two titans are on top of the daughter platform opposite of Oryx and three people are assigned platforms 1, 2 and 3. So wherever Oryx slams the person assigned to platform 1 will always jump on that platform after the runner and so on through all three.

The two titans swap throwing up blessings bubbles up top and dip and in and out with the ToM to work the Ogres down on health, but not kill them. Once the relic runner has the relic then everyone jumps up top where the Titans are and sit in the bubble until the aura is up top.

When i do it, the three platform people and one of the titans are assigned a blight platform. Meaning they will always kill the ogre on that platform regardless of where they jumped up and they will always detonate that blight and run around that platform for bombs.

So once Oryx staggers, those four people kill the ogres at relatively the same time since their health is low and you do a drop down countdown, from three is what I do, and then you detonate at hopefully the same time. The aura person and other titan then drop down to the middle where you shoot Oryx in NM and you rinse and repeat.

Doing this just eliminates the process of having to kill the vessel and the knights that spawn after killing the ogres if you time it right. It really just depends on people doing their job and the Titans getting the ogres to relatively the same health before you kill them.

So apparently Bungie is releasing some kind of King's Fall boss specific challenge where each week you have to beat them in a specific manner on normal or hard. That's interesting

Good to see they finally released some new on Challenge Mode. i was hoping it would drop before Thanksgiving, but at least there's finally some news.

Lol I 100% assumed one of the challenges would be golgoroth and not using the one orb strat. I'm assuming you'll have to use all six.

I wonder what the rewards are. Calcified fragments are a given since I think they said it. Extra loot maybe? If it's moldering shards I quit.

Other thread got me to check my hours on Destiny.

Holy frick I have played for 866 hours.

(This does not even include idol time in orbit, tower or reef)

Totes has played 1365
Loop has played 729
DC has played 1110


The guy ranked 1st is 5327 hours. That rounds up to 12 hours per day if he started playing on release date. And this does not include idol time.

I actually like games like Fallout, it just hasn't clicked, I think it was just my mood maybe. I have only played like 6 hours. Which is nothing for a game like that.

I will pick it up again I am sure. For now, back to Destiny or maybe picking up the bloodborne DLC.

Fun Times on Salvage
