The last boss. I have now gone in with two different raid teams and have yet to clear the last boss!!! curse my luck. I know i'll get it eventually. i just seems like every time we are at a clutch moment either someone will have their connection drop, or someone will forget what they are supposed to do. We'll get it down one of these days. P.S. any one that has any tips for the last boss. I'm always willing to try something new. Lord knows I haven't beaten it so any advise would help

  • Have the relic holder use L1 to put up the shield, while EVERYONE dps' the boss. OR you can have him shoot his super at the boss while 2 people clear out harpies and 3 others dps the boss

  • The first time through I wasn't aware you had unlimited super during times vengeance. I was a sunsinger and had fireborn so I could revive myself. We never beat it. Next time I was voidwalker and had the apotheosis veil helmet so during times vengeance I could spam nova bomb and have my health regen every time I used it. We ended up beating the whole raid in under 2 hours with only 1 hard wipe which was from the gorgons.

  • Once everyone knows what they're doing it is much easier.

  • Here are a couple of pointers that helped me and my team: 1. Use snipers when you have the damage boost. Snipers provided a huge amount of precision damage that dropped Atheon pretty quickly. Dealing damage even without the damage boost is still useful. 2. Before the first oracle appears for the team that goes through the time gate, have the 2 people who are not holding the relic throw grenades to damage hobgoblins and knock out the minotaur's shields. 3. If possible, have the relic wielder be a level 28 or higher sunsinger warlock. The ability to revive yourself is a great safety measure if you end up getting killed while holding the relic. The level 28 part is very important too because a level 28 can take a lot more damage than a level 27 can, and they can kill the hobgoblins and minotaur's more quickly with the relic. 4. Before passing through the portal after the oracles are all destroyed, have everyone cleanse. Once through the portal, the three who are tasked with going through the time gate run to the back immediately, and then cleanse once more. 5. Be prepared to have a replacement to go through the time gate. One of the biggest problems we came across was if one of us going through the portal got killed by a supplicant, somebody else was unexpectedly teleported. If you have a 4th person ready to fill in if you lose one, you can maintain a steady rhythm until the dead person is revived. 6. People on the outside (where the supplicants and Atheon are) should clear the gate of supplicants before the other 3 come back through. They should also be ready to open the red or green gate as soon as the inside team calls out which it is. That's all I have off the top of my head lol I suggest doing research on what successful teams did and replicating it. That's what we did after several frustrating attempts on the boss, and our success started coming immediately!

  • thanks we never had a lvlv 28 warlock with sunsinger be the relic holder. We'll give that a try. I don't think we ever shot at the boss unless we had the damage boost on. We'll give that a try also. We did have a fourth man on standby (me) since I had played both areas and knew where the oracles would be. that did help also since we ran into the problem of our teleport team had a problem with running out of ammo (just one of them) i would have to fill in for him. we always tried to clear out the suplicants as best we could. What weapon would you reccomend that the outside teams try to use to take out the suplicants? I had been using Suros Regime. i seemed to work pretty good but I can't help but wonder if there is a better weapon system that i should be using to take out the suplicants.

  • hmm I never really battled the supplicants since I was always on the inside, but other than the Suros, I'd imagine longer range precision weapons would work best. Scout rifles or hand cannons would be my go-to weapons for dealing with supplicants, but I guess it also depends on what people are best at using. I think it's useful to assess, as a team, what happened wrong each time you get wiped and think through how to change what you're doing in order to make everything more fluid.

  • Very true. We have done that and have modified our play style to attempt it in different ways. there is always the possability that we just suck (including myself). We're looking at it from all angles. Just trying to get some different perspectives on it form people that have already accomplished it. I've looked at a bunch of different youtube and we have tried different ways. I just don't think that we found our grove in it.

  • We felt the same way honestly. So many failed attempts with little damage even done got us pretty demoralized, but we persisted and got through! I really think it's a matter of solid routine rather than skill, so you can do it!

  • The relic's cleanse shield protects whoever is inside of it from Atheon's shots but allows you to shoot through it. What my group and I did was let 1 person on each side to take care of the supplicants, and once the group that got teleported comes out, we all go to the middle, the guy with the relic pops the shield for the duration of the buff and when there's 3 seconds remaining the guys that get teleported go the back end of the room. good luck.

  • Yep we tried that. we also tried it with only the teleport guys going to the middle. We have gotten close. Did you beat him before enraged happened? It seems like we just weren't doing enough damage on him to be able to defeat him beofre enrage. I know his crit box is the light in the lower abdomen. We did get the closest when we had only the teleport team go to the center.
