Weekly Nightfall 10/28/14

Hey guys! Mockingbird13 here with some tips for this weeks nightfall, The Nexus. Last night myself, MADZAHR, and MorbidTurnip pretty much dominated the nightfall, so I thought I'd share our findings/strategy. - Essentials - void weapons, preferably a sniper and a good heavy. (Void burn is on) Ammo synths. (Juggler is on) - Recommended but not necessary - solar damage for shanks, and arc damage for captains as well as a couple harpies. - First room - this is the room with the servitors. Basically stay in the hallway as long as you can and pick enemies off. Lots of reavers and captains, as well as shielded shanks, so don't run too far out. -Upstairs - couple shield shanks and reavers, watch out for stealth vandals up top. - "Transitional" area - some random enemies, mostly weaker fallen. Eventually you will get to a room with a few goblins... - Beginning of the Vex - after you wipe the last room, you'll go down some stairs. There are 3 harpies, kill them quickly. Now this part gets hairy: there are two doors on opposite ends of the room. Outside will spawn either a few goblins or a couple yellow-health goblins. Don't stray too far out the door. Outside the right door you will be able to snipe the two hobgoblins chilling on the cliff. Now get your void damage ready. In the middle are two Axis Minotaurs, and if you're not careful they will wreck you. Focus fire and you should be able to kill them. - Transition area 2 - be careful approaching the exit as a few vex will spawn in the next area and come out. Proceed through the long dark tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, follow the path right and look out for the 15 or so goblins. They *will* phase very close, very quickly after engaging, so be careful. - The Boss room - Do NOT jump down. Trust me. Here's where you get your snipers out. Have 2 people start picking off minotaurs as best you can. Have the third person watching the tunnel you just came down, An axis minotaur will spawn there occasionally. When he does, everyone turn around and unload. (Great source of ammo) Eventually Sekrion will spawn down in the room. Get your snipers out and carefully poke over the ledge and shoot him in/just above his eye. Balancing between sniping, killing the minotaur, and reviving, and that sweet weekly XP bonus will be yours in no time. Thanks for reading! Feel free to add me and I'll help whenever I can, cheers!
