"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.

Edited by LoneSoldier217: 10/7/2014 6:50:39 PMReading through the comments it looks like Bungie should get rid of every cliff in the game because they are easy exploits to killing enemies.

Edited by Eirikur: 10/7/2014 7:51:30 PMHax I will definitely try this!

lmfaoooooooo nice vid
-
Its funny Cuz vault of glass is full of gltixhes that force you to wipe. Now we find one that forces atheon to wipe
-
Dude. I found another exploit. It is called the AIM exploit. This is huge. Some players take advantage of the game and aim using the left trigger when they shoot at stuff. How will this not be patched by Bungie. I know your pain Mr. Original Poster. We all know you run straight towards the boss hip firing.

If anyone is there @ Atheon & needs a voidwalker warlock in their group (or even just a 5th person) to make this happen PLEASE hit me up ASAP! SCORPiON5150 on PS4

Just commenting on this so I can find it for a friend later.

[b]How does he keep tossing his super like that?[/b] Sorry, I'm not there yet with any of my characters, so I'm legitimately asking, how is he able to do this so often?
-
Yea, this definitely makes up for all the times I've had to hear "Sh**! I didn't get warped through" or "it took the wrong people" during the battle. Not to mention the black screen and 0 second timer bugs.
-
Most of the responses here sound a lot like "if bungie didn't want us to farm at the loot cave, then why did they put it in? It's clearly intentional, so it's not an exploit." Bungie is not perfect, they will make mistakes, and there will be oversights. This is clearly one of them. Bungie has stated that they will never punish players for clever use of mechanics, but I wouldn't expect this method to be viable much longer. Atheon's not that scary, anyway.
-
It might be an exploit, but the players are also losing whatever Atheon drops, so I'm not sure it really needs to be patched. It's like: you can do this but you'll lose loot. Up to you...
-
Reason he doesn't attack is because once teleported he stops attacking, and instead spawns supplicants. It's a legit way of completing it if you can't find a good team and people keep leaving. Didn't think of pushing him off lol.

Edited by Thumper0069: 10/7/2014 6:57:47 PMI had more fun doing it legit. I like coordinating with the team to take down vault of glass vs using the exploits. Using these methods just takes the fun out of the game and the sense of accomplishment. Its cool that you figured this out but honestly I wish this stuff did not show up on the forums and instead be shown to bungie so they can fix it vs publicly displaying a flaw
-
Nice job finding the quickest way to kill Atheon. I probably wouldn't have posted it here on the forums because the chance of them patching it. But I look at it this way, if we can fall off the map and die, then the enemies and bosses should be allowed to do the same. For all the dumbasses calling this a cheat or exploit, you're all idiots. It's called strategy. You use your surroundings to your advantage.
-
[quote]I hope Bungie fixes this.[/quote] God forbid you show some restraint and not do it yourself if you don't like it. Its a game, you haven't done jack "legitimately" but play. calm yourself. nobody cares you think its unfair, grow the hell up.
-
For those who are saying this is an exploit: Yes. This is an exploit. Is it glitched? Probably, probably not. Depends on what you mean and what exactly is 'glitched.' Can the boss be knocked back? Yes. Is there a pit nearby? Yes. Exploit it. Push him into the pit. It's legal, and clever use of strategy. The only questionable things I see are his arm clipping into the pillar, and the lack of any combat on his part. In any case, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this, as far as I can tell. Finding an easy way to kill the boss =/= cheating.
-
Some of you guys being ridiculous. Any enemy can fall off of any map that has a drop, so long as enough force is applied. I myself have done, and so have others. And [i]NOW[/i] it's an expolit?! What's next, firing are guns will be considered exploiting? Holy hell
-
I beat it on hard and was lucky enough to get the vex mythoclast.. Not the right way to beat it, it shouldnt be that way and i know bungie didnt mean to have it that way neither.. needs to be patched quick. Atheon code should be good enough for it not to fall backing off like that.
-
you know that one mission with the three psions that come out of the portals? I did this to one of them by accident. They were by the edge of a map and I fired a rocket launcher and he went up and over to his death lol. I think the players in this video should've jumped down after Atheon and fought him on his way down.
-
I have to Laugh at the ones calling it an exploit. I guess that they really don't get the whole guise of this game......... Kill everything as Fast as Possible without getting Killed first by anyway Possible...........Period!
-
Bungies next update title: Atheon learns to fly
-
Holy shit. [spoiler]Imma go do this.[/spoiler]
-
LMAO!!!
-
what a retard out of all places he posts it on the bungie fourms and copied this whole thing from reddit including that video he didint make gtfo u loser
-
Thanks to people posting this up all over the place, it'll get patched. It's like you people don't think before posting something.
-
If we can fall off the sides, so can he. Its called gravity.
