VoG Hard Mode Tips/strategies

Conflux, Oracles, Templar (24 min 52s - I fast forwarded Templar part since its very boring to watch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlQInnqPf4g Gatekeeper, Atheon (11 min 38s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrbIa_CNDIA Levels: All level 29s. Class: 2 Hunters, 2 Warlocks, 2 Titans. Revives: In hard mode, once you die you CANNOT be revived until next objective. If a teammate dies too early then it might be a good idea to just wipe and start all over. A warlock with self-resurrection can be very useful. Part 1: Defending the confluxes For this part we had two players with snipers up on the platform where we respawn. We had one player in the back middle, 1 on right side, and 2 left side. The hard part here is going to be when the templar summon its legions. The harpes do a lot of damage and can tank a lot. Our team decided to jump on the platform on the left side as it is easier to take cover while at the same time giving the ability to poke out and shoot them. Also don't be afraid to use your rocket launchers on minotaurs. I had atheon's epilogue which does void damage so I would quickly take out its shield and blast it with my rpg. For rest of the confluxes we had 2 left, 1 mid left, 1 mid right, 2 right. When legions come, we would all run back and regroup on top of platform (can be seen in video). Oracles Oracles will take a lot more damage before disappearing thus you want to have each oracle that appears to be shot by atleast 2 players. We had 2 players on top of spawn point, I was on the left side watching the hobgoblins, minotaur that spawns on left, and shooting the 2 oracles that spawns on left side. 1 of my teammate was on top of platform which is right above the boss. This allows him to shoot the oracle that spawns in the very back on left side. Our other 2 teammates were on back right side platform where a hobgoblin spawn. Oracles take priority over everything. Thus when oracles are not there, try to take out as many hobgoblins/minotaurs as possible. If you jump and stay in middle, you get swarmed by goblins/fanatics and minotaurs are more dangerous. It can get very messy. Templar For this one on hard mode, our team just ran to the left platform that is very far back. The player with the relic should keep on cleansing and super the boss. Do not fire your rpg until shield is gone. If you fight him like you would in normal mode (block teleports/fight off legions), it still takes a while. Teammates take more damage from legions and cant put maximum dps. Also, if you go to block teleports it can still be a pain if he attacks you. He is most likely to hit enrage mode so left platform helps eliminate all that. Oracles will drain your super energy so warlocks can't self resurrect. Gatekeeper We used the same strategy for the normal mode which was to kill off gatekeeper on left side first. Then have 2 players watch middle, 2 defend right portal, and 2 go inside right portal. Titan shields can be very useful here. You could also use teh strategy of leaving both gatekeepers at extremely low health then sending 1 in each portal. However, it oculd be difficult as players outside have to defend 2 portals, solo player that runs in can still get killed off by goblins and minotaurs. Warlock with self resurraction should go in if need be. Reference http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/704532-destiny/70193885
