How To Raid, For The Inexperienced!

Before reading this please note, this isn't hard mode, that requires a whole different method, this is for people who don't know the raid. They read and at least have some idea when they try it. Comments are greatly appreciated! Keep this alive for everyone you needs it! This walkthrough will help the Inexperienced players of destiny; to raid. 1. [b]Praetorian's[/b] [spoiler]This part is one of the easiest! Have 2 left, 2 right, and 2 at the top. Have the two at the top, stand on the sides, this way they can help the others on the other portals. if a praetorian spawns and starts coming up top, inform the other player and protect the middle portal. Allow the spire to form and your done![/spoiler] 2. [b]Conflux's[/b] [spoiler]The best way to do this is to watch the middle conflux from the middle, left and right, all sides protected. When it comes to the left and right conflux, have 4 on the left and 2 or the right. Doing it this way allows you to watch the left side more because not as many push the right conflux. The last part is to watch all 3 conflux's. To do this just have 3 on the left, 2 on the right, and 1 in the middle. The left side can help with the middle as well! Doing all this leads to the oracles![/spoiler] 3. [b]Oracle's[/b] [spoiler]The oracles can be one of the worst parts of the raid, you must shoot the spawning oracles, red or yellow flares of light. When trying to shoot the oracles, you are challenged by goblins, hobgoblins, and minotaurs! There is 3 oracles on the left. 1 oracle in the middle. And 3 on the right side. The oracles on the sides, are spread out, so make sure you are watching hardcore! But be aware, hobgoblins are spawned on the outside of the map on "sniping towers"[/spoiler] 4. [b]The Templar[/b] [spoiler]The templar is easy if you do it the right way. After all the oracles and conflux's you finally get the the templar himself!! Fighting him! (Mortal Kombat Voice: Finish him!) This part can be very simple, get someone to grab the relic (see relic at the bottom!). You must let your super charge, once charged, Aim and use it on the templars shield! After his shield is down, unload your clip into him; not the relic guy. He will try to teleport, just into his teleporting rings, he wont be able to teleport! This allows you to keep his shield down! Keep doing this and you will kill him in no time. If somehow he teleports, just rinse and repeat from the beginning![/spoiler] 5. [b]Gorgon's[/b] [spoiler]See youtube videos for chest locations! Exit is to hard to explain so i left a video! This video is not mine! Credit goes to the youtube whom uploaded it! Edit: i just linked video with chests and exit! [url=http://example.com]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ovcVSOHe9Hg[/url][/spoiler] 6. [b]The Jumping Maze[/b] [spoiler]This is simple, make it to the bottom! You can either try to cheat and jump the whole way across, or simple follow the pattern of the jumping blocks. once you make it to the bottom, simply follow the edge until you reach the door. You cant miss it! [/spoiler] 7. [b]The Gatekeepers[/b] [spoiler]Once you get inside the door, you will be forced to fight the adds! When you kill the gatekeeper, start opening the left portal, 3 people go in, kill the gatekeeper inside and collect the relic(See relic at the bottom), run back through the portal and cleanse the players that went through with you! Rinse ad repeat on the other side! Once you get out of the first portal, a conflux will spawn in the middle! Make sure two people defend it! The other two open the portal, and the last two go in and kill the gatekeeper and collect the second relic. Run through cleanse, then everyone defend the conflux! the relic will disappear, when this happens, you have successfully beaten the gatekeeper part![/spoiler] 8. [b]Atheon![/b] [spoiler]The easiest part of the raid! Three people will be teleported, the relic holder will need to kill the adds, while the other two that got teleported shoot the oracles in the order they appear! When inside the portal, you will go blind, so the relic holder must cleanse the two shooting the oracles! (See relic at bottom) The outside people open the portals, green is right, and red is left! (Red is mars, green is venus) please note: the map shows arrows, the arrows also show the side to open! Once the portal is open everyone runs to the middle platform and the relic holder holds LB to hold up the cleanse bubble! Fellow guardians can shoot out, but atheon can not shoot in! Rinse and repeat! He will be dead soon enough! [/spoiler] _______________________________________ Relic: To Use the relic, LB and RB uses your super, LB cleanses the blind, jump and RT does a super smash, plain RT runs and plows into adds, and RB is just a melee! For Playstation, i believe LB is L1, RB is R1, and RT is R2. please correct me if wrong! If you think this is a good topic, please try to keep alive, just trying to help! (As stated in the comments, the cleanse is the grenade button for those of you that play using a different layout) If i can get enough responses, i will make a whole walkthrough video! I can do it in 45 minutes!

  • My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

    • None of this is relevant becasue garbage is garbage and no one wants to raid with garabage.

      • ok the last part i don't like. if your playing the raid and don't have experience with it then most likely you don't have good weapons to do a good amount of dps so using the relics bubble as a shield will do little help. i have tried that with other people and it just takes way to long, its way easier if the person with the relic uses his supercharge and shoots atheon since the supercharge comes back really quickly and deals a lot of damage to him. so that way everybody can be doing damage to him. with my team 2nd time doing the raid atheon teleported the relic team 3 times and he was dead, and that was before we had good weapons, now we do it on hard. so everything but that last part is good, I REPEAT DO NOT LET THE RELIC HOLDER JUST USE HIS SHEILD, HE NEED TO USE HIS SUPERCHARGE

          You must've had a whole lot of fun writing this post because it seems every other sentence ends with an exclamation mark.

        • I've done the VoG in total 12 times already but I just found out that if you do it on hard mode first, you won't get anything from beating the Gatekeeper and Atheon on normal later (not sure about Oracles and Templar). Bearing this in mind, do you guys usually do the normal mode first then hard OR do you just go straight in to hard mode and get the double roll of rewards?

        • My party goes in one per portal for the gatekeepers but we're really experienced so I guess that doesn't apply to beginners If anyone wants to try this strategy, it saves about 20 minutes compared to one at a time. All you need is a hard-hitting LMG and relic experience

          • They way my team did it last week was, we went to the right portal first, then the left and it was much easier, since Venus is harder to do than Mars

                • You forgot to put in something about the bubble that spawns around random guardians after taking down the Templars shields, you need to shoot those btw, and when you stop him from teleporting it spawns minotaurs.(feels like some major details you missed)

                  • It's great that you made this for people. I would suggest anyone who'd want more specific details and visuals to look up DattoDoesDestiny on YouTube. He has a few raid guides to certain areas in the raid that warrant it. They're very helpful and definitely made me more comfortable about doing the raid.

                    • Nice work. I'd add a point to the jumping bit. When going along the wall there's a bit where you need to jump around otherwise you slip off.

                        • For the Oracles having one person on each side dedicated to hob goblins and make sure people call out the minotaurs. This is of course for hard mode.

                          • Now bungie just needs to change the pattern of the spawns and timing of them making them more random and yep the raid will be worth doing after reading this.
