[u]Using default controls:[/u]
[b]Hold Lb/L1[/b]= Cleanse.
[b]Rb/R1[/b]= light attack.
[b]Rt/R2=[/b] heavy attack.
*a jump followed by Rt/R2 performes a smash attack.
[b]Rb+Lb/ R1+L1[/b] = this would perform the relics super. (Shoots like a lanced nova bomb).
[b]Y/triangle [/b]= Drops the relic.
[u]template for other controls [/u]
Cleanse = the grenade button.
Primary attack = the melee button.
Heavy attack = the fire button.
*jump and press the fire button to perform a smash attack
Relics super = the melee + grenade button (supercharge button.)
Drop the relic = weapon swap
[u]Tips:[/u]
[u]-When teleported and fighting the enemies with the relic, keep on the move, you gotta jump, strafe, and run to be sucessful. [/u]
[u]-every member of the fireteam should always have a void weapon ready to use. [/u]
[u]-The relics energy takes time to charge up so use the cleanse and super only when needed.[/u]
[u]-The Praetorian in the Venus portal, If your level is higher than his, sneak up on him (dont jump and glide it will startle the hobgoblins.) once in range jump and hit him with the smash, and then before he could recover i would hit him with a heavy attack. keep in mind that everyone approaches him differently. 2 or 3 smashes can take him out if you hit him, back up so you dont get hit, then hit him again. Your team should be helping you out before they focus on oracles, i found that it works best if they wait for you (the relic holder) to make the first strike. after that They can throw thier granades, then they shoot at the first oracle.
if your level is lower than the praetorian. Do the same thing but you gotta proceed with caution. It works best if you let your team make the first stike on him. It should take 2 to 3 hits if your team helps. If not its gonna take 3 to 4 hits. [/u]
[u]-When times vengeance is active the relic holder jumps to the middle platform and holds the Cleanse Bubble as a shield. So the other players could shoot atheon safely. When there is only 5 seconds left of times vengeance, have a defender titan deploy thier bubble shield so the team can jump off the platform without anyone dying.[/u]
[u]-In the mars portal shoot at the hobgoblin that is furthest away from the group of them. Shoot for the hobgoblins head, they can't use thier shield. Making it a easier kill for the relic holder. [/u]
[u]-check your armor to know your strengths.
High Discipline will make the cleanse bubble charge faster .
High Intellegence will make the relics super charge faster.
High Strength will make the relics attacks do more damage. [/u]
Hopefully this can help out.
I was getting tired of reading the negativity, because someone picked up the relic and didnt know how it worked. instead of yelling at them teach them how it works so the problem never occures again.
Edit: I added in that the cleanse ability needs the be held in order to cleanse your team.
Edit: I added in the button used to drop the relic.
Edit: I added details on what to do when times vengeance is active.
Edit: i added a tip , Hobgoblin
Edit: I edited a tip, times vengeance
Edit: i threw in a new tip, how to easily kill the venus praetorian.
[b]*Bump or gold star, so everyone knows how the relic works.*[/b]

2 RepliesI ran into an issue running the relic for the first time with my Titan last week. While in the portal, a teammate would take out 1 of the enemies with a rocket, leaving less work for me...which in theory is good except it took forever to get the relic super charged and our screens were black by the time I was finally able to cleanse. We still ended up clearing the oracles in time, but is there some secret to charging that relic ability quicker? And is it best to just let the relic holder take out all enemies in the portal?
-
2 RepliesGood work sir. Still doesn't help the all the glitching that is happening in the Atheon stage but this should help people.
-
Bump ty op
-
And please, when you get inside the portal with the relic holder throw some rockets down there to the GLITCHING pretorian that spawn on Venus. All the Gunslingers should use them golden gun to take down mobs and generate orbs for the relic holder super, he will help you with oracles.later.
-
Good post. I hope people see this lol
-
Does anyone have a save at the boss checkpoint or even the maze? I would love to practice these two areas. I'm on PS4, Alice2RRs.
-
An important tip is that attacking enemies refills the relic super and cleanse faster. If you don't do anything they will both fill rather slowly.
-
Having been a 30 Hunter since week 3 the raid came out I've always held relic and let me say it's the easiest job in the raid if you aren't stupid altho level does help if I was still playing I'd like to see the warlocks who were always busy pushing atheon off run relic sure they'd do fine it'd just be a breath of fresh air
-
you forgot to add how the Relic wont always kill things because of refilling health
-
4 RepliesIt's L2 to cleanse, R2 for light attack and L2 R2 for Super for PS3/4 :)
-
Do they have a "sticky" vote/option in this forum? This thread needs to be added to that list.

1 ReplyEdited by Twohothardware: 11/3/2014 9:52:32 PMAnother tip that worked for us last night is that sometimes the Relic Holder needs to drop the Relic and help shoot Oracles if you sense your team is falling behind on them. You have a few seconds to shoot and then pick it back up again. Just be sure to tell the other guys what you're doing so they don't pick it up.
-
Thank you so much for this. I've been trying to learn the different roles, but the Relic skill eludes me. For instance, I was told that if i have the receptacle on an enemy I will dive forward and slam them using the Right Trigger. Unfortunately I just landed near them. I was roughly on the top stairs and they were at the bottom.
-
That's fine for default. I play "jumper" Grenade button hold for cleanse (r1) Super is "A" Jump and right trigger (shoot button) is the relic smash. Spam right trigger for normal melee.
-
Bump for usefulness!
-
Bump.

Edited by MrM-x: 11/3/2014 8:15:11 PMMaybe add something about the length of the cleanse when held in the middle? some don't seem to know. 4 refreshes of the cleanse icon.
-
3 RepliesExcellent guide. I'll definitely be sharing this. Another Atheon tip is that instead of grouping together everyone can spread out and then you can constantly super Atheon during times vengeance. The reason for the strategy is because people usually die while disengaging from the middle at the end of times vengeance.

Tips for what really F's teams up..... the Praetorian on Venus Portal
-
Also, spamming light attack in the air will help you "fly" around
-
Also, two light hits can kill an oracle.

Thank you! All you noobs read up, educate 'cho self.

1 ReplyFor Atheon portals, I ask people not to shoot. If they can't pop off the hobgoblin's head, you've just shielded them. Instead, I advise throwing grenades down. If you pop to Mars, you'll do damage without getting shields down (I would only shoot if you see the relic holder in trouble and need to prevent a shot from getting off). If you pop to Venus, grenades will help with the Minotaur.
