Oryx challenge detonated 16 bombs, but it left a sliver of health.

hi! Just did the oryx challenge for a couple of hours. got to 16 orb detonation 4 or 5 times and there we had some trouble with the teleporting ogres and so on. On our last try we got all 16 detonated but oryx had a sliver of hp left. by all 16 i mean all 4 detonators names popped up 4 times and the finishing screen said we detonated all 16. I really don't understand what is happening. This is kind of sad since i don't have time to try the challenge for several hours per day. I have already completed it once, so this happened on my alt. We had no connection issues and all 6 were connected to internet via cable. Any bungie folks or moderators know what is happening?

    We ran a few tests. Many fireteams I helped this week wanted to shoot the adds before detonating bombs. Even though 16 bombs detonated, the explosions would happen and he wouldn't fully go down. Turned out there is a hidden timer from stagger to "regains favor". If you take too long to shoot adds the last explosion(s) doesn't do damage even though it's going off because oryx becomes immune. If you just stagger and 3-2-1 get bombs while one shoots oryx and another shoots adds alone you'll get him. Get to the detonation right away and this issue goes away.

    • Did you have someone shooting in the middle at all times at oryx. Preferable someone with the touch of malice? I had the same problem but then had someone shooting and it worked.
