Xyor, the Unwed... Do you have what it takes to wed him?

So, I'm on the last part for the exotic bounty to get Thorn, the exotic hand cannon. As I've seen and been told, it's arguably the best hand cannon in the game... making the bounties ridiculously challenging. The name of this post is in particular relation to one boss you have to kill during the bounty. The last part of the bounty for the weapon. In the bounty, you need to go to the Moon, where a new, particular strike has opened up. It's not entirely new, since you'll still be killing Phogoth, the Untamed in the end, but it introduces this little bugger right here, Xyor. Apparently his personality is the worst, because not only does he remain a bachelor (of course, assuming this is a male adversary, who's to say this isn't a female?) but you also have to kill him/it before killing Phogoth, but only after killing enough of Phogoth's minions to summon Xyor. Did I mention it's level 26 strike, with the epic modifier active? Now, to the point of this post. I need help. I tried to go it alone, since the game won't match make a fireteam for you (which makes sense since it's so unique) and couldn't even step foot into the first room. I'm a level 27 Titan with my Striker subclass completely leveled, and less than 10,000 experience to fully level my Defender subclass. I'm using a legendary hand cannon called "The Devil You Know" and an exotic sniper called "Ice Breaker". Both prove a bit frivolous, but the sniper does much better than the hand cannon. My next best weapon is a Shingen-E auto rifle fully upgraded. I also have the exotic chest piece "Crest of Alpha Lupi". Last but not least, I have a PS4. Anyone willing to help add me: hotlipshoffman or reply with your gamer handle. Thanks!

  • I have TDYK and Ice Breaker, but I'm a Sunsinger Warlock. The best solution is to find a good Arc Guardian to balance it out for those frakking Knights.

    • I ran it with an Arc Light/Beware as my secondary and a solar Gjallarhorn for my heavy and we literally killed Xyor in 5 seconds. The fight leading up to it was tough but if you have people to work with and a good arc/solar mix you'll be fine.

      • Soloed it with an arc fusion rifle for knights and a solar HMG for the wizards. 27 gunslinger too so used my super when zur showed up. Probobaly the most intense fight I have had in this game yet. Your probably better off going as a defender.

            • It took me about 3 hours of dying to beat that part of the bounty lol At first It was just me and a friend but the amount of enemies were overwhelming . Ended up inviting a random person to help lol I used an Arc damage fusion rifle for the massive amount of Knights Also used a Solar damage Machine Gun for the Wizards and Xyor My friend used a Solar Sniper (Ice Breaker Exotic)

                • Some more info for ya...you dont have to kill phogoth, just xyor. Yeah you gotta kill off minion to get him to show. Thare are a couple ways to go about it. I sat outside the shrieker room for the most part. Problem with that is the shrieker itself and the enemies dont like coming in that room. Enuff patience and ammo synthesis tho and you can get them all. Also once the wizards show up youll have to go for some kills on them as they will teleport out and come back healed. There are other ways other than sitting out there but this is the safe bet.

                  I soloed it...my advice would be to switch out some weapons. Im a hunter so I dont know anything about your armor or class upgrades...but I used a hand cannon as my primary as it deals the most dpr and will mop up enemies after youve wittled them down, coupled with my class benefits for reload and stability and my armor it worked fine. Now I highly sugest switching out your rifle...you need an arc damage rifle for the knights to bring down the shield. I keep firing with the rifle at the hallowed knights(head shots) but switch to the hand cannon for the regular ones. The next thing is you need a fire machine gun for your heavy. Its destroys wizards and is more reliable damage than a launcher. My biggest issue was killing off the waves and getting thru the door. Dont die there! If you do the enemies in the previous area will respawn giving you no place to run. This is extremely important for the last wave with the wizards cuz they will rush you. But you can run back out and down the hall and pick them off safely with the machine gun. I killed xyor once he showed up with golden gun but youll probably have more difficulty. Good luck! Id help but im on 360.
