So I have a video showing you what we do, but here is the text version for people who don't like videos! Also Its hard to squeeze that much talking in 5 minutes of video.
Requirements: [spoiler]Be level 34. Get an Arc Sniper with HIGH impact Efrideet's or LDR were great choices. Get an Arc Rocket Launcher to clear enemies if need be. Arc Primary always helps.[/spoiler]
Here is how we do this first try every time once you get the hang of it.
Step 1
[spoiler]Start the fight and immediately run left side. Simply Snipe the boss (I shot rockets who cares) until his chains are broken. If you took a while to get to this point clear out enemies and don't activate the mines. Using a weapons of light bubble with the Helm of Saint-14 (on the close by spawn door) will make it much easier to clear the mines because the enemies won't have spawned yet. Mines activate at 50% health. Once you cleared out all the enemies activate the mines if you didn't have the weapons of light. During this phase keep 2 guys together and send one to the other side to kill the enemies that will be spawning soon. When you activate the mines you usually have a little bit of time before enemies spawn so use that as a time to spawn kill some.[/spoiler]
Step 2
[spoiler]After you clear the first mines run to the opposite side as Skolas is currently on. In the video we run right side because he is on the left. During this time more enemies will spawn. By the time you clear out the enemies Skolas should be almost to you. DPS him to around 30% at this point enemies will spawn again because of how long it takes. If you are comfortable with killing Skolas at the 30% mark hurry and finish him off before the enemies spawn. If you are not comfortable with finishing him off then swap sides again and defeat the enemies that spawn. At this point if you didn't try to finish him off he is at 30% you should have no issue finishing him before the 2nd set of mines spawn. So you will kill him before the 2nd set of mines spawn which means, no enemies will spawn. So just dismantle mines and you are done.[/spoiler]
Factors you should know.
-Mines spawn in 3 places, but always in different orders.
-Enemies spawn after set periods of time. So kill enemies.
-Skolas takes forever to travel to opposite sides of maps use this time to kill ADS.
-Mines trigger at 50% health and 25% health on Skolas. This means you choose when they activate.
-My strategy kills skolas before the second set of mines comes out so you have no ADS to bother you.
Thanks for all the support!

Bump for later

I'm a 24/f/can and I have a level 33 warlock, and now I also have a level 13 hunter (trying to upgrade both) I am looking for raid, strike partners, weekly, nightfall , bounty hunters, and prison fighters so I can get my main character a level 33 warlock maxed out. Basically I want to find more people to game with, on almost every day/night. Mic is required. Please message and or add me on Xbox one. "AnonMe" is my user tag
-
Thanks for the strategy and great explanation!
-
Please reply to this so I may see this later on
-
First week I couldn't play destiny on ps4 because of coconut error lol
-
Someone reply please.

Wish you had this up before I completed it, keeping those ads clear is definetly key. One shank will light you up given half a second, communication about moving that debuff is key. Arc burn has to be the worst, doesnt take much for it to go bad.
-
arc burn is easier than solar burn because 4th horseman just melts him!
-
3 P&T's dropped him real quick. We pushed him as far back as he would go against a wall.
-
Thats a good strategy but that only work if you are in a clan . The best strategy with arc damage is to kill him before the add come out which is the easiest. I show people how to do it . LDR sniper with the forth shot do 12000 damage and people with patient and time. The warlock take the essence soon as the mine spawn across the map . die and self raise , by that time he should be dead .
-
Sorry for being a noob but what does ADS stand for?
-
i just gave up. I've been trying for 2 hrs and nothing. Bungie ur a big fat poop for this

READ THIS, HELP GET BUNGIES ATTENTION GUYS! https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/125042759

my team strategy very similar went to the same way went ham on with weapns of light/ 365 arc snipers, [2 p&t, 1 LDR], as soon as the mine pop up the hunter went for it while we finished him off and after that we just defused the bombs! took us a long time, last time the guy had him killed but got killed at the same time it was priceless ;P thankfully i got it done and i was happy
-
Or you know Pop bubble with weapons of light and 4th horseman the shit out of him just saying
-
Thanks for the guide! Looks like a good strategy. Will have to try it out
-
Why do people use explosive rounds? They don't do much and mess with precision damage
-
Been having some trouble with him this week. Both groups I've been with have been able to take him down effectively a few times, but as soon as that mine spawns on the opposite end of the map we lose DPS and get overrun by ads/killed by the devouring essence. Did get an elder cipher off one kill though, then the mines got us.
-
Bump for later?
-
Very nice. I'll have to try this with my team before the week ends.

If you upgrade arc efredit spear to 365 it does something like 9500 dmg & 12700 for the last round perk with weapons of light. Finished it yesterday and it was a good fight. Never experienced something like this. Btw: nice strategy
