"This is fixed"
*Hardmode vid added*
I'm going to let the video speak for itself. I hope Bungie fixes this. The voidwalker Warlock is a very strong character for making Atheon lose his footing, and my personal feelings on this is that Atheon should not go down(literally) so easily and this may work on future bosses...The mighty Crota fell to his doom because he feared the dark...irony...
Note: Youtube vid up. Sorry about the quality but had to run it off downfacebook.com

Also PS4 users feel free to friend me. PSN is the same as my user name.
Need to add a little. I have done Atheon on hard "legitimately" and it is very rewarding to do so. When me and my friends discovered that void bombs makes Atheon move, not get pushed, we were having trouble beating him on hard mode. It was foolish wipes with the portal group. So to "distract" us to feel fresh again we played around with Atheon. We have a running joke that you use the boxes to stop the praetors from entering during the gatekeeper part. Anyway we kited him to the corner and eventually figured out how to lay the bombs down and there he went. Hopes this clears some stuff up for you guys.

Would love to try this on Ps4 hard mode of anyone has Atheon checkpoint. Lvl 28 hunter. PSN: Tha1stLoner

I found it easier to do with sunsinger grenades.. You can have two at once
-
Looking to do this on 360, need someone with checkpoint. GT: XGN Harbringer

lol for those of you noobs saying "it's fixed" it's not. You just suck and gave up right at the 5 minute mark. That's why you suck at pve grinding. I just did it 3 times already to help my friends. Call it exploit, name it barbie, but if it's patched, Bungie will announce it. Just like how it has announced the cave loot. So if you don't even see the new patch yet, it means this still works.

Edited by LeafBlitz: 10/9/2014 4:58:37 AMCan confirm this works on 360 in Warlock/Titan tandem Warlocks need Vortex Grenade and Vortex Titans need Pulse Grenade and Aftermath
-
Fall strats were the coolest thing in dark souls. I hope this stays in.
-
Atheon was "killed by the architect"
-
Congratulations for creating the first "Smash Bros." game type. I salute you sir. :D
-
Pretty funny tbh. I wouldn't call this one an exploit. Unless Bungie says falling damage shouldn't kill Atheon and give him a teleport.
-
Why do people insist on posting things like this on the internet for everyone to exploit? I don't understand...if you want it fixed, send it to Bungie privately. Why ruin it to the point where now everyone can do it and get all the best gear? i've never understood the gaming community at times.
-
Thought it must be accomplished by two warlocks. But apparently one warlock can pull it off as well because I just did it! Nice one, haha
-
I tried this on normal to see how it works and we were unable to make him stand behind that pillar thing. Do you shoot around his legs for a reason? A tutorial or instructions in the description of the video or on the forums would help. But just trying to figure out how to get him to walk behind there and fall off
-
Delete this post before bungie finds out lol . . . C'mon .
-
Hot fixed. Patched.

Let me ask this. Everyone calling this cheating, do you touch every platform in the jumping puzzle? Or do you shoulder slam/glide/triple jump after touching the second or third platform? Did bungie intend for that to happen? Is it wrong that you skip 2/3 of the puzzle? Why haven't they patched it so that the wall is another 10 feet away so you can't just do that? "Cheating" is subjective. The funny thing is, you still have to sprint to atheon, survive his attacks, have a 3 man team kill the oracles and properly place both atheon and your ult for this to work. On top of that, you have already beaten all of hard mode except for atheon. "Scrubs" would not get that far to begin with. Lighten up
-
This is a great strategy. I beat it last night and only took like 2 minutes to "kill" Atheon.
-
And then the Vex took to the forums saying that falling is OP and making a thousand threads and petitions demanding that the VOG needs safety railings. Enter Skûm, Prosecution Attorney of the Nine. "Have YOU had a guardian related accident or injury at the workplace?"
-
This will be patched very soon. Lol

Edited by 1stLoner: 10/9/2014 6:13:00 AMAnybody saved at Atheon on hard and want to try this tonight on ps4?? Add me same name
-
How do you get super charged over and over like that so easy?
-
Need warlocks to do this on PS4 HARD mode. Add me
-
So does anyone have their save point already at Atheon and wanna do this in a couple of hours on Ps4???
-
-
honestly it's going to take them 3 years to patch this with how slow they work. pathetic

Edited by Aurelia: 10/8/2014 6:12:33 PMI have been in groups that did it on hard both ways. It is a nice feeling to have beaten it without the cheese tactic but the bugs/bs geometry issues are so damn frustrating. Issues include splash damage through the bubble in the center especially if it touches the nearby column, sometimes not all 3 people teleporting, two people bumping during return from portal and only one returns, and the fracking minotaur's magic regen health bar. I don't mind failing a lot until the group learns how to fight it but having a good attempt fail to one of these stupid reasons makes me not blame anyone for using the cheese tactic. I won't call this an exploit because it is almost exactly the mechanics behind the cheese tactic that also make the 'legit' way more likely to fail due for random BS reasons...

It still works. I did it yesterday. On normal, didn't feel like wasting time killing him the normal way.
